Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract To quantify aquatic carbon budgets, it is important to accurately measure dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). The standard approach requires the use of mercury chloride (HgCl2) poison to preserve samples, but the real need and overall constraints of using such a toxic compound remain elusive. Here, we evaluate the need for filtration and mercury

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Despite 17 years of development, the effectiveness of nanocarrier‐delivered RNAi pesticide (NDRP) for agricultural biological control remains limited. The successful development of effective NDRP development requires the coordinated optimization of target gene selection and nanocarrier properties, including RNA dosage, multi‐gene targeting, protection ...

Food plant diversity in a rapidly changing world
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Diversity in food plants is essential to human and planetary health. On farms, in diets, and in many other areas of food systems, this diversity has undergone enormous change globally, including significant decline. We describe major trends in how food plant diversity has been changing, note the responses from conservation communities, highlight gaps ...

Evaluation of electrolyzed water to control fungal trunk pathogens in grapevine nurseries
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1740-1751, April 2025.Electrolyzed water treatments could have promising applications in the grapevine nursery process to prevent or reduce infections caused by fungal trunk pathogens on grapevine propagation material. Abstract BACKGROUND Grapevine producers demand solutions to control fungal trunk pathogens (FTPs) in nurseries.

Small, EarlyView.An integrated capsaicin‐functionalized superhydrophobic photothermal coating combines covalently immobilized bioactive functionality and Cassie‐state anti‐adhesion with CNT‐enabled solar heating. This dual‐mode strategy passively suppresses fouling in the dark and promotes photothermal inactivation and detachment under sunlight, delivering broad ...
