Accurately predicting complex agronomic traits remains a major bottleneck in crop breeding. This study demonstrates how optimized genomic prediction models can reliably forecast flowering time, yield components, and oil content in rapeseed using genome-wide genetic information.

Understanding how plant architectural traits change over time is essential for improving crop breeding efficiency and production management. 

Effective hydrophobic barriers were essential for plants to survive on land, yet how these barriers became specialized across different tissues has remained unclear. 

High-energy-density lithium-ion batteries are essential for next-generation electric vehicles and energy storage systems. However, Li-rich cathodes often underperform due to sluggish lithium reinsertion and irreversible capacity loss. This study introduces a kinetic activation strategy that regulates in-plane transition-metal (TM) ion migration and triggers controlled local structural rearrangements. By promoting lattice oxygen activation and enhancing Li-ion reinsertion kinetics, the team achieved reversible Li storage beyond 1.1 mol, reaching 348 mAh g⁻¹, close to theoretical limits. The work reveals a direct link between TM migration, lattice oxygen redox, and Li-ion mobility, offering a new pathway toward high-energy-density battery cathodes.
