Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as undesirable by-products of metabolism in various cellular compartments, especially in response to unfavorable environmental conditions, throughout the life cycle of plants. Stress-induced ROS production disrupts normal cellular function and leads to oxidative damage. To cope with excessive ROS, plants are equipped with a sophisticated antioxidative defense system consisting of enzymatic and non-enzymatic components that scavenge ROS or inhibit their harmful effects on biomolecules. Nonetheless, when maintained at relatively low levels, ROS act as signaling molecules that regulate plant growth, development, and adaptation to adverse conditions. Here, we provide an overview of current approaches for detecting ROS. We also discuss recent advances in understanding ROS signaling, ROS metabolism, and the roles of ROS in plant growth and responses to various abiotic stresses.

Abstract
The photochemical properties of Electron Donor-Acceptor (EDA) complexes present exciting opportunities for synthetic chemistry. However, these strategies often require an inert atmosphere to maintain high efficiency. Herein, we develop an EDA complex photocatalytic system through rational design, which overcomes the oxygen-sensitive limitation of traditional EDA photocatalytic systems and enables aerobic oxygenation reactions through dioxygen activation. The mild oxidation system transfers electrons from the donor to the effective catalytic acceptor upon visible light irradiation, which are subsequently captured by molecular oxygen to form the superoxide radical ion, as demonstrated by the specific fluorescent probe, dihydroethidine (DHE). Furthermore, this visible-light mediated oxidative EDA protocol is successfully applied in the aerobic oxygenation of boronic acids. We believe that this photochemical dioxygen activation strategy enabled by EDA complex not only provides a practical approach to aerobic oxygenation but also promotes the design and application of EDA photocatalysis under ambient conditions.

Abstract
Austere environments in which access to medical facilities, medical personnel, or even water and electricity is limited or unavailable pose unique challenges for medical device product design. Currently existing skin substitutes are severely inadequate for the treatment of severe burns, chronic wounds, battlefield injuries, or work-related injuries in resource-limited settings. For such settings, an ideal device should be biocompatible, bioresorbable, promote tissue healing, not require trained medical personnel for deployment and use, and should enable topical drug delivery. As proof of concept for such a device, silk fibroin and an antioxidant hyaluronic acid derivative were chosen as primary constituents. The final formulation was selected to optimize tensile strength while retaining mechanical compliance and protection from reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ultimate tensile strength of the device was 438.0 KPa. Viability of dermal fibroblasts challenged with ROS-generating menadione decreased to 49.7% of control, which was rescued by pre-treatment with the hyaluronic acid derivative to 85.0% of control. The final device formulation was also tested in a standardized, validated, in vitro skin irritation test which revealed no tissue damage or statistical difference from control. Improved topical drug delivery was achieved via an integrated silk fibroin microneedle array and selective device processing to generate crosslinked/through pores. The final device including these features showed a 223% increase in small molecule epidermal permeation relative to the control. Scaffold porosity and microneedle integrity before and after application were confirmed by electron microscopy. Next, the device was designed to be self-adherent to enable deployment without the need of traditional fixation methods. Device tissue adhesive strength (12.0 MPa) was evaluated and shown to be comparable to a commercial adhesive surgical drape (12.9 MPa) and superior to an over-the-counter liquid bandage (4.1 MPa). Finally, the device's wound healing potential was assessed in an in vitro full-thickness skin wound model which showed promising device integration into the tissue and cellular migration into and above the device. Overall, these results suggest that this prototype, specifically designed for use in austere environments, is mechanically robust, is cytocompatible, protects from ROS damage, is self-adherent without traditional fixation methods, and promotes tissue repair.

Nitroreductase Increases Menadione-Mediated Oxidative Stress in Aspergillus nidulans. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:e0175821.

Abstract
Nitroreductases (NTRs) catalyze the reduction of a wide range of nitro-compounds and quinones using NAD(P)H. Although the physiological functions of these enzymes remain obscure, a tentative function of resistance to reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the detoxification of menadione has been proposed. This suggestion is based primarily on the transcriptional or translational induction of an NTR response to menadione rather than on convincing experimental evidence. We investigated the performance of a fungal NTR from Aspergillus nidulans (AnNTR) exposed to menadione to address the question of whether NTR is really an ROS defense enzyme. We confirmed that AnNTR was transcriptionally induced by external menadione. We observed that menadione treatment generated cytotoxic levels of O2•-, which requires well-known antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxiredoxin to protect A. nidulans against menadione-derived ROS stress. However, AnNTR was counterproductive for ROS defense, since knocking out AnNTR decreased the intracellular O2•- levels, resulting in fungal viability higher than that of the wild type. This observation implies that AnNTR may accelerate the generation of O2•- from menadione. Our in vitro experiments indicated that AnNTR uses NADPH to reduce menadione in a single-electron reaction, and the subsequent semiquinone-quinone redox cycling resulted in O2•- generation. We demonstrated that A. nidulans nitroreductase should be an ROS generator, but not an ROS scavenger, in the presence of menadione. Our results clarified the relationship between nitroreductase and menadione-derived ROS stress, which has long been ambiguous. IMPORTANCE Menadione is commonly used as an O2•- generator in studies of oxidative stress responses. However, the precise mechanism through which menadione mediates cellular O2•- generation, as well as the way in which cells respond, remains unclear. Elucidating these events will have important implications for the use of menadione in biological and medical studies. Our results show that the production of Aspergillus nidulans nitroreductase (AnNTR) was induced by menadione. However, the accumulated AnNTR did not protect cells but instead increased the cytotoxic effect of menadione through a single-electron reduction reaction. Our finding that nitroreductase is involved in the menadione-mediated O2•- generation pathway has clarified the relationship between nitroreductase and menadione-derived ROS stress, which has long been ambiguous.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensors are critical to artificial intelligence by virtue of capability of mimicking human skin to report sensing signals. But their practical applications are restricted by low sensitivity and limited cycling stability, which result from piezoionic mechanism with insufficient sensing response. Here, we report a highly sensitive ultrastable sensor based on proton-coupled electron transfer, which is different from piezoionic mechanism. The sensor gives a high sensing signal output of 117 mV, which is 16 times higher than that of counterpart device (7 mV). It delivers excellent working stability with performance retention as high as 99.13% over 10 000 bending cycles in air, exceeding that of the best-known sensors reported previously. The flexible sensor displays high sensitivity in detecting real-time signals of human activities with large and subtle deformations, including wrist bending, moving speed, pulse wave and voice vibration. Smart functions, such as braille language and handwriting recognitions, are demonstrated for artificial intelligence.

Abstract
Partially reduced aromatic polyketides are bioactive secondary metabolites or intermediates in the biosynthesis of deoxygenated aromatics. For the antibiotic GTRI‐02 (mensalone) in different Streptomyces spp., biosynthesis involving the reduction of a fully aromatized acetyltrihydroxynaphthalene by a naphthol reductase has been proposed and shown in vitro with a fungal enzyme. However, more recently, GTRI‐02 has been identified as a product of the ActIII biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), for which the reduction of a linear polyketide precursor by ActIII ketoreductase, prior to cyclization and aromatization, has been suggested. We have examined three different ketoreductases from bacterial producer strains of GTRI‐02 for their ability to reduce mono‐, bi‐, and tricyclic aromatic substrates. The enzymes reduced 1‐ and 2‐tetralone but not other aromatic substrates. This strongly suggests a reduction of a cyclized but not yet aromatic polyketide intermediate in the biosynthesis of GTRI‐02. Implications of the results for the biosynthesis of other secondary polyketidic metabolites are discussed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential redox-signaling molecule free radical, contributes a significant role in a diverse range of physiological processes. Photo-triggered NO donors have significant potential compared to other NO donors because it releases NO in the presence of light. Hence, an efficient visible light-triggered NO donor is designed and synthesized by coupling 2,6-dimethyl nitrobenzene moiety at the peri-position of 1, 8-naphthalimide. The NO-releasing ability is validated using various spectroscopic techniques, the photoproduct is characterized, and finally, the NO generation quantum yield is also determined. Furthermore, the photo-generated NO has been employed to Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant to examine the effect of photoreceptor-mediated NO uptake on plant root growth regulation molecule.

Abstract
We report a redox-responsive liposomal system capable of oxidatively triggered disassembly. We describe the synthesis, electrochemical characterization, and incorporation into vesicles of an alternative redox lipid with significantly improved synthetic efficiency and scalability compared to a ferrocene-appended phospholipid previously employed by our group in giant vesicles. The redox-triggered disassembly of both redox lipids is examined in nanosized liposomes as well as the influence of cholesterol mole fraction on liposome disassembly and suitability of various chemical oxidants for in vitro disassembly experiments. Electronic structure density functional theory calculations of membrane-embedded ferrocenes are provided to characterize the role of charge redistribution in the initial stages of the disassembly process.
