A team of Chinese scientists has uncovered a hidden 3D structure in rice DNA that allows the crop to grow more grain while using less nitrogen fertilizer. The finding, published in Nature Genetics by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on Oct. 29, could guide the next "green revolution" toward higher yields and more sustainable farming.

This study present a novel strategy for synthesizing a uniformly dispersed cobalt single-atom (CoSA) catalyst with a well-defined Co-N4 coordination structure through a thermal transformation process using CoPc as the precursor and phosphate functionalized rGO as the support material (Co@rGO-P). Additionally, Co@rGO-P was utilized to construct heterojunctions with PTA nanosheets through an in-situ growth method, resulting in the highly efficient photocatalyst Co@rGO-P/PTA for non-sacrificial H2O2 production in pure water.
The study reveals that OIF promotes marine carbon sinks by adding iron to “high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll” marine regions (e.g., the Southern Ocean), which enhances the photosynthesis of surface phytoplankton and thereby increases marine carbon sinks. In contrast, AOA improves seawater alkalinity by adding alkaline materials (such as limestone) to the ocean; through carbonate chemical processes, this method drives the ocean to absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere.
