Natural variation in Phosphatidylinositol 4-Kinase OsPI4Kγ7 and its interaction with OsLIC balance rice yield and latitudinal adaptation

High yield and wide adaptation rice are crucial for grain supply and food security. Here the authors report OsPI4Kγ7 which contributes to different “adaptability-yield” trade-offs in japonica and indica, and provides an alternative breeding strategy for raising grain yield in different latitudes.

Enhanced proton conductivity in azole-functionalized three-dimensional crystalline covalent organic frameworks

Polycrystalline disorder often obscures the proton conduction pathways and mechanisms in covalent organic frameworks. Here, the authors functionalize 3D crystalline covalent organic frameworks under solvent-free conditions achieving anhydrous superprotonic conductivity and studied the mechanism behind.

Natural variation of DROT1 confers drought adaptation in upland rice

Genetic basis of the drought tolerance of upland rice is unclear. Here, the authors report the cloning of a COBRA-like protein encoding gene DROT1 and reveal that it is repressed by ERF3 and activated by ERF71 to help control the balance between growth and drought tolerance in upland rice.

Guest-induced structural transformation of single-crystal 3D covalent organic framework at room and high temperatures

Soft porous crystals undergo structural deformations in response to external stimuli, such as temperature, pressure and guest molecules. Here, the authors study the guest-responsive structural transformation of single-crystal 3D covalent organic frameworks at room and high temperatures and identified nine distinct conformational isomers.

High performance relaxor ferroelectric textured ceramics for electrocaloric refrigeration

The authors achieve a high electrocaloric temperature change (ΔT = 3.9 K) in c-textured BaTiO₃-KNbO₃ ceramics via compositional tuning and grain orientation engineering. The ΔT variation remain within ±10% across 30–80 °C, demonstrating exceptional stability.

Electrochemical deposition as a universal route for fabricating single-atom catalysts

While single-atom catalysts exhibit intriguing catalytic performances and electronic structures, syntheses are often tailored to a particular system. Here, authors report electrochemical deposition as a universal approach for the fabrication of single-atom catalysts over range of metals and supports.
