Optimising the greenhouse cultivation of Lotus japonicus under dimmable LED

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Optimisation of growth conditions for Lotus japonicus ecotypes MG‐20 and Gifu in climate‐controlled greenhouses indicated that L. japonicus produced less flowers and pods under the fluctuating light of mobile LED (location = 5) than under stationary LED (location = 9) and the effect of the light source increased under low ambient light conditions in ...

Exploring the Quality of Historic DNA From Pinned Beetles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Dry‐preserved museum specimens offer valuable but degraded DNA for genomic studies, making extraction method choice crucial. We found that an oligo‐focused silica‐column protocol yielded higher‐quality short DNA fragments than standard silica or precipitation methods, and that specimen age mainly reduced fragment length and locus recovery, while DNA ...

Effects of White and Brown Rot Decay on Changes of Wood Ultrastructure

BioResources, 2014
Fungal decay results in gradual decomposition of compounds of wood cell walls. Mass loss of wood is usually applied to characterize the decay. However, mechanisms of brown and white rot decay are significantly different, resulting in different ...

Plant‐Derived Nanoparticles (PDNPs) in Food Safety and Preservation: Pros and Cons

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Plant‐derived nanoparticles (PDNPs) synthesized via green methods demonstrate antimicrobial, antioxidant, barrier, eco‐friendly, and cost‐effective properties, while facing challenges in large‐scale production, synthesis standardization, and absence of specific food safety regulations. ABSTRACT Ensuring food safety and extending shelf life across fresh

Changes in Molecular Size Distribution of Cellulose during Attack by White Rot and Brown Rot Fungi [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1992
The kinetics of cotton cellulose depolymerization by the brown rot fungus Postia placenta and the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium were investigated with solid-state cultures. The degree of polymerization (DP; the average number of glucosyl residues per cellulose molecule) of ...

Engineering the substrate scope of the thermostable phenolic acid decarboxylase N31 towards sterically hindered phenolic acids

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Phenolic acid decarboxylases (PADs) convert bio‐based hydroxycinnamic acids into valuable hydroxystyrene monomers under mild reaction conditions. These compounds are in high demand in polymer production, cosmetics, and flavoring. Especially 4‐vinyl syringol, the decarboxylation product from sinapic acid, generates polymers with similar thermal

Leaf penetration by endophytic Metarhizium brunneum enables infection of Phthorimaea absoluta in tomato mines while inducing the crop defense system

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7794-7808, August 2026.
Spraying Metarhizium brunneum on tomato plants controls heterogeneous and upcoming Phthorimaea absoluta populations by infecting larvae within mines and priming plant induced systemic defences. Abstract BACKGROUND The endophytic entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum Petch EAMa 01/58‐Su shows strong potential for managing Phthorimaea absoluta, a ...

Ability of some species of fungi of the Basidiomycetes class to degrade cellulose and lignocellulose substrates

Acta Mycologica, 2014
Studies were carried-out on the ability of 18 strains of 15 white-rot and brown-rot basidiomycetons fungi to degrade wood components and to synthesize cellulolytic enzymes and laccase.
