Full-type photoluminescence including concomitant fluorescence, delayed and room-temperature phosphorescence from a single organic molecule is used for multi-signal temperature sensing.

Salinity is one of the greatest environmental challenges facing plant growth and development in the 21st century. Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic compound and signal molecule involved in the regulation of plants responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. This greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine effects of SA application on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) responses to salinit...

Small-molecule microarrays are powerful, high-throughput tools for gathering information about direct binding events between proteins of interest and small molecules. However, nonspecific binding on modified glass slides is the major factor reducing the quality of information obtained in proteomic screening with small-molecule microarrays. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio by suppressing the...

Single molecule detection and analysis play important roles in many current biomedical researches. The deep-nanoscale hotspots, being excited confined a plasmonic nanocavity, make it possible to simultaneously enhance the nonlinear light-matter interactions molecular Raman scattering for label-free detections. Here, we theoretically show that nanocavity formed tip-enhanced (TERS) system can als...

Recent advances in our understanding of plant metabolism have highlighted the significance specialized metabolites regulation gene expression associated with biosynthetic networks. This opinion article focuses on molecular mechanisms small-molecule-mediated feedback at transcriptional level and its potential modes action, including metabolite signal perception, nature sensor, signaling transduc...
