From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

High Humidity Exacerbates Psoriasiform Skin Disease Relapse by Increasing Tissue‐Resident Memory T Cells via Altering Skin Microbiota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We demonstrated that high humidity worsened psoriasis relapse in murine psoriasiform skin inflammation by increasing skin‐resident memory CD8+ cells via upregulating IL‐15Rα on keratinocytes. The increases in IL‐15Rα and memory CD8+ cells were attributed to S. nepalensis and its metabolite ADMA in skin exposed to high humidity.

β-diketone accumulation in response to drought stress is weakened in modern bread wheat varieties (Triticum aestivum L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science
Cuticular waxes coating leaf surfaces can help plants tolerate drought events by reducing non-stomatal water loss. Despite their role in drought tolerance, little is known about how cuticular wax composition has changed during breeding in Canadian bread ...

Chemical underpinning of the tea bag index: An examination of the decomposition of tea leaves [PDF]

, 2020
Decomposition is a key flux of terrestrial carbon to the atmosphere. Therefore, gaining a better understanding of how plant litter decomposes in soil, and what governs this process, is vital for global climate models.

Single‐Cell Transcriptomics Reveals FLS2‐Dependent Hypoxia Signaling and ERF13‐Mediated Transcription During flg22‐Triggered Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employs sc‐RNA sequencing, genetics, and phenotyping to systematically map the cell‐type‐specific immune responses triggered by flg22. It reveals FLS2‐dependent transcriptional reprogramming in epidermal and mesophyll cells, and uncovers crosstalk between immune and hypoxia signaling pathways.

Compositional variances in petal cuticular wax of eight rose species and their impacts on vase life under water-loss stress

Frontiers in Plant Science
Cuticular wax is the first barrier between plants and the environment. Here, the densities of cuticular wax crystals on the petals of eight rose cultivars were determined to be sparse; the crystals were mostly granular and only a few rod-shaped crystals ...

Effect of Leaf Surface Waxes on Leaf Colonization by Pantoea agglomerans and Clavibacter michiganensis

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002
To evaluate the influence of leaf cuticular waxes on bacterial colonization of leaves, bacterial colonization patterns were examined on four glossy maize (Zea mays L.) mutants that were altered in their cuticular wax biosynthesis.

A combination of genome-wide association study and transcriptome analysis in leaf epidermis identifies candidate genes involved in cuticular wax biosynthesis in Brassica napus

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Brassica napus L. is one of the most important oil crops in the world. However, climate-change-induced environmental stresses negatively impact on its yield and quality.

ECERIFERUM 10 Encoding an Enoyl-CoA Reductase Plays a Crucial Role in Osmotolerance and Cuticular Wax Loading in Arabidopsis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Acquired osmotolerance induced after salt stress is widespread across Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) accessions (e.g., Bu-5). However, it remains unclear how this osmotolerance is established.

Thermally Degradable Biocompatible Hydrogel as Transient Encapsulation Coating for Implantable Sensors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biocompatible hydrogel coating with tissue‐like mechanics and reversible dissolution triggered by a mild, physiologically compatible temperature drop (≈37°C → ≈25°C) was developed for the transient encapsulation of implantable devices. The physically crosslinked methylcellulose, polyethylene glycol and polyacrilic acid (MC/PEG/PAA) hydrogel ...
