Integration of ATAC-seq and RNA-seq unveils transcription factors involved in low-nitrogen tolerance in cucumber

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionNitrogen (N) availability is one of the major factors limiting cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) growth and productivity. However, the hierarchical transcriptional and chromatin-based mechanisms underlying low-nitrogen (LN) adaptation remain ...

Is there a Relationship between the Level of Plant Metabolites in Cucumber and Globe Cucumber and the Degree of Insect Infestation?

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2009
Cucumber plant was infested by three major insect pests, i.e., cotton aphid, white fly nymph and green bugs while globe cucumber, the wild cucumber species was kept healthy without any remarkable infestation. In addition, globe cucumber had higher ratios

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.
