Open AccessSite-specific metal-support interaction to switch the activity of Ir single atoms for oxygen evolution reaction
The metal-support interactions (MSI) could greatly determine the electronic properties of single-atom catalysts, thus affecting the catalytic performance. However, the typical approach to regulating MSI usuall...

Open AccessCloning southern corn rust resistant gene RppK and its cognate gene AvrRppK from Puccinia polysora
Broad-spectrum resistance has great values for crop breeding. However, its mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we report the cloning of a maize NLR gene, RppK, for resistance against southern corn rust (SCR) an...

Open AccessSelectively anchoring single atoms on specific sites of supports for improved oxygen evolution
The homogeneity of single-atom catalysts is only to the first-order approximation when all isolated metal centers interact identically with the support. Since the realistic support with various topologies or d...

Open AccessProtein-altering germline mutations implicate novel genes related to lung cancer development
Few germline mutations are known to affect lung cancer risk. We performed analyses of rare variants from 39,146 individuals of European ancestry and investigated gene expression levels in 7,773 samples. We fin...

Open AccessMulti-omics analysis of the development and fracture resistance for maize internode
The maize stalk is an important mechanical supporting tissue. The stalk fracture resistance is closely related to lodging resistance, and thus the yield. In this study, we showed that the basal zone (BZ) was m...

Open AccessDynamic plant height QTL revealed in maize through remote sensing phenoty** using a high-throughput unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
Plant height (PH) is a key factor in maize (Zea mays L.) yield, biomass, and plant architecture. We investigated the PH of diverse maize inbred lines (117 temperate lines, 135 tropical lines) at four growth stage...

Open AccessIdentification of susceptibility pathways for the role of chromosome 15q25.1 in modifying lung cancer risk
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified the chromosome 15q25.1 locus as a leading susceptibility region for lung cancer. However, the pathogenic pathways, through which susceptibility SNPs within chr...

Open AccessFunctional divergence and origin of the DAG-like gene family in plants
The nuclear-encoded DAG-like (DAL) gene family plays critical roles in organelle C-to-U RNA editing in Arabidopsis thaliana. However, the origin, diversification and functional divergence of DAL genes remain uncl...

Open AccessInteraction between β-hexachlorocyclohexane and ADIPOQ genotypes contributes to the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in East Chinese adults
Growing evidence links environmental exposure to hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) to the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and ADIPOQ that encodes adiponectin is considered as an important gene for T2DM. Howe...
