Differential Effects of Increasing Salinity on Germination and Seedling Growth of Native and Exotic Invasive Cordgrasses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Soil salinity is a key environmental factor influencing germination and seedling establishment in salt marshes. Global warming and sea level rise are changing estuarine salinity, and may modify the colonization ability of halophytes.

Generating Cell Surface Nucleated Hydrogels with an Artificial Membrane‐Binding Transglutaminase

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cell‐based therapies require advanced strategies to enhance cell delivery and bioactivity. Cell membrane engineering offers an avenue to impart new functions to delivered cells to boost their viability and function. Here, an artificial membrane‐binding transglutaminase is generated and biophysically characterized.

Effect of desiccation, starvation, heat, and cold stresses on the thermal resistance of Enterobacter sakazakii in rehydrated infant milk formula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Enterobacter sakazakii has been implicated in outbreaks of meningitis, septicemia, and necrotizing enterocolitis in immunocompromised and premature neonates. In this study, the effect of desiccation stress, starvation stress, heat shock and cold shock on

Single Solid‐State Ion Channels as Potentiometric Nanosensors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Single gold nanopores functionalized with mixed self‐assembled monolayers act as solid‐state ion channels for direct, selective potentiometric sensing of inorganic ions (Ag⁺). The design overcomes key miniaturization barriers of conventional ion‐selective electrodes by combining low resistivity with suppressed loss of active components, enabling robust

Insects With Survival Kits for Desiccation Tolerance Under Extreme Water Deficits

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
The year 2002 marked the tercentenary of Antonie van Leeuwenhoek’s discovery of desiccation tolerance in animals. This remarkable phenomenon to sustain ‘life’ in the absence of water can be revived upon return of hydrating conditions.

Exploring plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Plants are exposed to many stress factors, such as drought, high salinity or pathogens, which reduce the yield of the cultivated plants or affect the quality of the harvested products. Arabidopsis thaliana was used as a model plant to study the responses

Mechanism of endocarp-imposed constraints of germination of Lannea microcarpa seeds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Lannea microcarpa, a multipurpose tree species from the dry African savanna, sheds seeds that often display inhibition of germination. The underlying mechanism was investigated using seeds processed from fully matured fruits collected from natural stands

Glass Formation and Desiccation Tolerance in Seeds [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1991
The formation of intracellular glass may help protect embryos from damage due to desiccation. Soluble sugars similar to those found in desiccation tolerant embryos were studied with differential scanning calorimetry. Those sugars from desiccation tolerant embryos can form glasses at ambient temperatures, whereas those from embryos that do not tolerate ...

Powering the Future: A Cobalt‐Based Catalyst for Longer‐Lasting Zinc–Air Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel N‐doped graphitic shell‐encapsulated Co catalyst reveals superior bifunctional ORR/OER activity in alkaline media, empowering outstanding liquid and quasi‐solid‐state ZAB activity. The system delivers long‐term durability, a peak power density of 127 mW cm−2 and successfully powers an LED and a mini fan.
