Spain’s Recent Power Outage: What Happened and Why It Matters
Virginia Tech

On April 28, Spain experienced a widespread power outage that left millions without electricity for nearly a full 24 hours. While power has largely been restored, the cause of the failure is still under investigation. Early reports suggest that the high percentage of renewable energy on the grid at the time may have played a role — but it’s more complicated than that.

Copy Number Variant Analysis Improves Diagnostic Yield in a Diverse Pediatric Exome Sequencing Cohort
Children's Hospital Los Angeles

Highlight:Exome sequencing (ES) is commonly used to diagnose Mendelian disorders, which occur when pathogenic variant(s) in a gene are either inherited from one or both parents or are de novo. Examples of such disorders include cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia. However, ES is not the first choice for detecting copy number variants (CNVs), which are typically deletions or duplications of DNA segments.

Unlocking Water Lily Hybridization: Scientists Decode Key Molecular Barrier
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Hybridizing tropical and hardy water lilies holds great potential for creating new varieties with both cold tolerance and vibrant colors. However, prefertilization barriers between different subgenera have severely limited breeding success. A new study uncovers that the NpCIPK6–NpSnRK1–NpNCED2 molecular module in water lily stigmas interferes with abscisic acid (ABA) synthesis, leading to reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation that blocks incompatible pollen germination. By elucidating this cellular signaling pathway, the research provides crucial insights into overcoming reproductive barriers in water lilies and offers a conceptual framework that could enhance breeding efficiency and expand the genetic diversity of ornamental aquatic plants.
