Transcriptome profile of cup-shaped galls in Litsea acuminata leaves. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 BACKGROUND:Insect galls are atypical plant tissues induced by the invasion of insects. Compared to the host leaf, gall tissues lose photosynthetic ability, but have higher soluble sugar content.

Genetic Analysis of Axillary Meristem Development in Arabidopsis: Roles of MIR164, CUC1, CUC2, CUC3 and LAS, and identification of novel regulators. [PDF]
, 2007 Aerial architecture and reproductive success in higher plants is determined by the formation of secondary axes of growth which are formed by axillary meristems initiated post-embryonically in the axils of leaves.

A Planting Machine for Chrysanthemum Cuttings with a Supply Mechanism Using Rotating Cups
Japan Agricultural Research Quarterly: JARQ, 2006 The purpose of this study was to mechanize the task of planting chrysanthemum cuttings in plug trays. Seedling production using these trays is common in Japan to produce high-quality chrysanthemums, other flowers, and vegetables. However, chrysanthemum cuttings must be planted manually, which takes considerable time.

Crack‐Growing Interlayer Design for Deep Crack Propagation and Ultrahigh Sensitivity Strain Sensing
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A crack‐growing semi‐cured polyimide interlayer enabling deep cracks for ultrahigh sensitivity in low‐strain regimes is presented. The sensor achieves a gauge factor of 100 000 at 2% strain and detects subtle deformations such as nasal breathing, highlighting potential for minimally obstructive biomedical and micromechanical sensing applications ...

THE ACTION OF WIND IN THE DISPERSAL OF SPORES FROM CUP-SHAPED PLANT STRUCTURES
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1953 Observation of Lycopodium spores in glass vessels of various sizes and shapes subjected to winds ranging from 0.6 to 7.1 meters per second showed that spores are blown from funnel or egg-cup-shaped vessels more readily than from rectangular vessels or horizontal glass slides.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioinspired bromination of a resilin‐derived peptide enables the fabrication of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds that uniquely combine strain‐stiffening elasticity, proteolytic stability, and antioxidant functionality. These brominated peptide–gelatin hybrids mimic the extensibility of natural elastomers, demonstrating tunable mechanical resilience ...

An assessment of the remodelling of bifurcations in hazel (Corylus avellana L.) in response to bracing, drilling and splitting [PDF]
, 2016 This paper provides an insight into the ability of bifurcations in hazel trees to remodel themselves after bracing, drilling and splitting. The study uses evidence from field observations and testing the strength of these bifurcations using a universal ...
