In a generalization of the latest achievements in this field, and as a pattern of massive applications, we present here the Jahn-Teller effect (JTE) and pseudo-JTE (PJTE) as general tools in the study of physical and chemical phenomena related to structural properties of polyatomic systems. We show that the JTE and PJTE are no more specific features of particular (rare) systems (as it was assumed earlier), but virtual properties of all molecular and solid state formations. They occur as a result of vibronic coupling that compensates for the error (inadequacy) introduced in semi-classical definitions of polyatomic configurations by their high-symmetry nuclear positions, thus appending the basic understanding of related phenomena with a new dimension. The implications of the JTE and PJTE in observable properties varies significantly, being especially strong in the states of electronic degeneracy or pseudodegeneracy, but they cannot be a priory fully excluded for any system. After the introductory sections we demonstrate some of the more recent results of the influence of these effects on the observables in physical and chemical phenomena, together with a wide range of applications. The latter are conventionally separated in three parts intermediate states in chemical and photochemical reactions, manipulation of structural properties of polyatomic systems targeting the JTE and PJTE, and applications in materials science. The illustrative examples include the origin of sudden polarization in photochemical reactions, methods of planarization of puckered (buckled) two-dimensional systems, modification of crystal sublattices by targeting the JTE parameters, the defining role of JTE and PJTE in electronics and spintronics, the origin of ferroelectricity and multiferroicity, as well as a novel property of solids, orientational polarization, and its applications.The growth and development of plants are dependent on the interaction between carbon and nitrogen metabolism. Essential information about the metabolic regulation of carbon-nitrogen metabolism is still lacking, such as possible interactions among nitrogen metabolism, photosynthesis, and photorespiration. This study shows that higher photorespiration consumes more CO2 fixed by photosynthesis, making the high photosynthetic efficiency mutant fail to increase production. In order to clarify the effects of photosynthesis and photorespiration on carbon and nitrogen metabolism in high photosynthetic efficiency mutant, a yellow-green leaf mutant (ygl53) was isolated from rice (Oryza sativa L.). Its chlorophyll (Chl) content decreased, but chloroplast development was not affected. PF-06882961 Genetic analysis demonstrated that YGL53 encodes the magnesium chelatase D subunit (ChlD). The ygl53 mutant showed an increased net assimilation rate (An) and electron transport flux efficiency and catalase (CAT) activity, and it also had a higher photorespiration rate (Pr), lower H2O2, and reduced nitrogen uptake efficiency (NUpE); however, there was no loss in yield. The higher activities of glutamate synthase (GOGAT) and glutamine synthetase (GS) ensure the α-ketoglutaric acid (2-OG) and ammonia (NH3) availabilities, which are produced from photorespiration in the ygl53 mutant. These have an important function for carbon and nitrogen metabolism homeostasis in ygl53. Further analysis indicated that the energy and substances derived from carbon metabolism supplemented nitrogen metabolism in the form of photorespiration to ensure its normal development when the An of photosynthesis was increased in the ygl53 mutant with reduced NUpE.The oceans harbor a great reservoir of molecules with unknown bioactivities, which could be useful for the treatment of illnesses that nowadays have no cure, such as neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, we evaluated the neuroprotective potential of the marine Fijian compounds tavarua deoxyriboside A and jasplakinolide against oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, crucial mechanisms in neurodegeneration. Both metabolites protected SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells from H2O2 damage, improving mitochondrial function and activating the antioxidant systems of cells. These effects were mediated by their ability of inducing Nrf2 translocation. In BV2 microglial cells activated with lipopolysaccharide, Fijian metabolites also displayed promising results, decreasing the release of proinflammatory mediators (ROS, NO, cytokines) through the reduction of gp91 and NFkB-p65 expression. Finally, we performed a coculture among both cell lines, in which treatment with compounds protected SH-SY5Y cells from activated microglia, corroborating their neuroprotective effects. These results suggest that tavarua deoxyriboside A and jasplakinolide could be used as candidate molecules for further studies against neurodegeneration.Semiconductor nanocrystals are promising photocatalysts for a wide range of applications, ranging from alternative fuel generation to biomedical and environmental applications. This stems from their diverse properties, including flexible spectral tunability, stability, and photocatalytic efficiencies. Their functionality depends on the complex influence of multiple parameters, including their composition, dimensions, architecture, surface coating, and environmental conditions. A particularly promising direction for rapid adoption of these nanoparticles as photocatalysts is their ability to act as photoinitiators (PIs) for radical polymerization. Previous studies served to demonstrate the proof of concept for the use of quantum confined semiconductor nanocrystals as photoinitiators, coining the term Quantum PIs, and provided insights for their photocatalytic mechanism of action. However, these early reports suffered from low efficiencies while requiring purging with inert gases, use of additives, and irradiation by high light intensities with very long excitation durations, which limited their potential for real-life applications. The progress in nanocrystal syntheses and surface engineering has opened the way to the introduction of the next generation of Quantum PIs. Herein, we introduce the research area of nanocrystal photocatalysts, review their studies as Quantum PIs for radical polymerization, from suspension polymerization to novel printing, as well as in a new family of polymerization techniques, of reversible deactivation radical polymerization, and provide a forward-looking view for the challenges and prospects of this field.
