TL;DR: It is reported that domain boundaries in the basal plane of monolayer MoS2 can greatly enhance its hydrogen evolution reaction performance by serving as active sites, and it is demonstrated that such superior catalysts are feasible at a large scale by applying this multi-hierarchy design of domain boundaries to wafer-scale MonS2 films.

TL;DR: It is shown that PTM, a chloroplast envelope-bound plant homeodomain (PHD) transcription factor with transmembrane domains, functions in multiple retrograde signal pathways and provides a molecular basis for the critical function of PTM in retrograde chloropleft signaling.

TL;DR: It is found that conducting primary screens using model mycobacterial species may limit the potential for identifying new inhibitors with efficacy against M. tuberculosis, and methodologies currently employed for screening and target identification may lead to a bias in target discovery and that alternative methods should be explored.

TL;DR: Bioactive compounds isolated using the above strategies have not only shown importance in biotechnological and pharmaceutical applications but have also increased the understanding of the diversity of marine microbiota, ecosystem functions and the exploitable biology.

TL;DR: Application of two nitric oxide donors, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), dramatically alleviated heat stress induced ion leakage increase, growth suppression and cell viability decrease in both calluses under heat stress and suggested that NO might act as a signal in activating active oxygen scavenging enzymes underHeat stress and thus confer DR callus thermotolerance.
