Study sheds light on the composition of nuclear matrix in Arabidopsis thaliana
Chromatin is a unique DNA and protein complex that makes up the chromosomes. Specific proteins (histones) wind up the DNA like small cable drums to package the long DNA.

<p>The nuclear matrix, identified as a nuclear fraction in eukaryotic cells providing a supporting scaffold for chromatin, has been a known structure in plant nuclei for decades. However, understanding how the nuclear matrix influences chromatin status in plant nuclei has remained largely unknown. For the first time, an international research team led by IPK Leibniz Institute identified the genome-wide distribution of regions attached by the nuclear matrix in plants. It explained the role of the nuclear matrix-associated protein AHL22 as a conductor for chromatin and epigenetic regulator...
Chinese firm achieves best efficiency of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells so far.
The world-leading solar technology company, LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereafter as "LONGi"), announced today that it has set a new world record of 33.9% for the efficiency of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells. It is reported that the previous world record was 33.7% and conducted by King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) in May this year.
