Exploring the trait plasticity of ipa1-2d and qpl6 under different nitrogen treatments and heading periods by Zhuang, Wenshu, Jin, Guangyang, Zou, Yiting, Bian, Zhong, Xie, Dong, Zhang, Shuwei, Yeilaghi, Hadi, Yu, Liangliang, Wong, Muiyun, Fan, Xiaolei, Zhao, Dongsheng, Liu, Qiaoquan, Zhang, Lin

“…QTL analysis could elaborate on the environmental impact on trait plasticity using nearly isogenic lines (NILs) of different QTLs. Two QTLs, ipa1-2D and qPL6 are identified to have pleio-tropic contributions to panicle size and plant architecture, but their responses to different growth conditions are still unclear. …”

Induction of neuronal phenotypes from NG2+ glial progenitors by inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor in mouse spinal cord injury by Ju, Peijun, Zhang, Si, Yeap, Yeeshan, Feng, Zhiwei

“…In this study, we showed that antagonizing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) function with EGFR inhibitor caused a significant number of proliferative NG2+ glial progenitors to acquire neuronal phenotypes in contusive spinal cord injury (SCI), which presumably led to an accumulation of newly generated neurons and contributed to the improved neural behavioral performance of animals. …”

Poly(2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinonyl sulfide) as an efficient cathode for high-performance aqueous zinc–organic batteries by Sun, Tao, Li, Zong-Jun, Zhi, Yong-Feng, Huang, Yinjuan, Fan, Hong Jin, Zhang, Qichun

“…However, the advancement of ZIBs is strongly hindered by the sluggish ionic diffusion and structural instability of inorganic metal oxide cathode materials during the Zn2+ insertion/extraction. To address these issues, a new organic host material, poly(2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinonyl sulfide) (PDBS), has been designed and applied for zinc ion storage due to its elastic structural factors (tunable space and soft lattice). …”
