Abiotic and biotic stress combinations [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2014
SummaryEnvironmental stress conditions such as drought, heat, salinity, cold, or pathogen infection can have a devastating impact on plant growth and yield under field conditions. Nevertheless, the effects of these stresses on plants are typically being studied under controlled growth conditions in the laboratory.

P3HT‐Based Electroactive Films for In Vitro Neuronal Cell Interfacing

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Reducing the mechanical mismatch between bioelectronic devices and tissue is crucial for enhancing the characteristics of biointerfaces that better mimic the biological tissues. This work investigates the physico‐chemical properties of tunable nanostructured surfaces obtained from a blend of P3HT and MWCNT electroactive polymer.

Root growth, yield and stress tolerance of soybean to transient waterlogging under different climatic regimes

Scientific Reports
Global warming-induced abiotic stresses, such as waterlogging, significantly threaten crop yields. Increased rainfall intensity in recent years has exacerbated waterlogging severity, especially in lowlands and heavy soils.

Polystyrene Nanoplastic‐Mercury Complexes Detection by Electrolyte‐Gated Carbon Nanotube Field‐Effect Transistor‐Based Sensors

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
An electrolyte‐gated field effect transistor sensor is used to detect an environmentally relevant nanoplastic model. The sensor identifies the presence of polystyrene nanoplastics in water dispersions without significantly altering its performance in the presence of mercury on the nanoplastics’ surface, indicating that it may be utilized in ...

Modulation of energy homeostasis in maize and Arabidopsis to develop lines tolerant to drought, genotoxic and oxidative stresses [PDF]

, 2017
Abiotic stresses cause crop losses worldwide that reduce the average yield by more than 50%. Due to the high energy consumed to enhance the respiration rates, the excessive reactive oxygen species release provokes cell death and, ultimately, whole plant ...

Exploring Gelatin‐A and Mouse Proline‐Rich Protein 5 as Probes for Wine Polyphenol Analysis by Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel strategy for the detection of polyphenols in wine. By combining Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring and original functionalization strategies, Gelatin A from porcine skin and Mouse Proline‐Rich Protein 5, polyphenols are successfully detected directly in wine without any prior sample preparation ...

Adventitious root formation confers waterlogging tolerance in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Crop adaptation to waterlogging stress necessitates alterations in their morpho-physiological and biochemical characteristics. Cowpeas, which serve as a dual-purpose legume crop (food and fodder), are sensitive to waterlogging stress, especially when ...
