The 21st Century Agriculture: When Rice Research Draws Attention to Climate Variability and How Weedy Rice and Underutilized Grains Come in Handy

Rice, the first crop to be fully sequenced and annotated in the mid-2000s, is an excellent model species for crop research due mainly to its relatively small genome and rich genetic diversity.The 130-million-year-old cereal came into the limelight in the 1960s when the semi-dwarfing gene sd-1, better known as the “green revolution” gene

The Influence of Micro-Structured Anode Current Collectors in Combination with Highly Concentrated Electrolyte on the Coulombic Efficiency of In-Situ Deposited Li-Metal Electrodes with Different Counter Electrodes

This paper compares and combines two common methods to improve the cycle performance of lithium metal (Li) electrodes.One technique is to establish a micro-structured current collector by chemical separation of a copper/zinc alloy.Furthermore, the use of a highly concentrated ether-based electrolyte is applied as a second approach for improving the
