Sclerophyllous structural and chemical traits of mite‐induced galls on Crinodendron patagua (Elaeocarpaceae) leaves

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Eriophyid mites reprogram the structural and biochemical traits of sclerophyllous leaves in Crinodendron patagua, promoting the formation of nutrient‐rich and protective gall tissues. Abstract Sclerophyllous plants present a suite of traits, including small, leathery leaves with thick cuticles, dense trichomes and sclerified tissues, which are often ...

Kenaf Bast Fiber Treatment for Nonwoven Fabrics.

open access: yesSen'i Gakkaishi, 2001
Kenaf fiber has been traditionally used in the cordage, sack, pulp and paper industries, but few commercial attempt has ever been made to utilize its potential as a major biodegradable raw material for nonwoven manufacture because of coarseness and stiffness of the fiber bundles. In this study, NaOH and softeners were used to refine the fibers.
