Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

On-Farm Diversity and Market Participation Are Positively Associated with Dietary Diversity of Rural Mothers in Southern Benin, West Africa.

PLoS ONE, 2016
ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to test the extent to which, under different opportunities for market participation, the diversity of plant species rural households grow or collect (on-farm diversity), and the variety of foods mothers purchase ...

Atmospheric Water Harvesting Through Polymer Hydrogel Sorbents: Materials Chemistry, Design Strategies, and Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polymer‐based hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) due to their high water affinity, tunable network structure, and excellent moisture adsorption‐desorption performance. Functional hydrogel systems enable efficient water capture and controlled release under low‐energy conditions, offering a sustainable ...

Functional and phylogenetic diversity of an agricultural matrix avifauna: The role of habitat heterogeneity in Afrotropical farmland

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Varied strategies to alleviate the loss of farmland biodiversity have been tested, yet there is still insufficient evidence supporting their effectiveness, especially when considering phylogenetic and functional diversity alongside traditional taxonomic ...

Non‐Coding Transcripts From Diversified Members of IgLec Family Protect Antiviral Effectors From Viral miRNA

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The IgLec gene family generates both protein‐coding antiviral effectors and non‐coding transcripts. Upon viral infection, non‐coding transcripts are preferentially targeted by viral miR‐N48, thereby buffering protein‐coding isoforms from repression. Depletion of these decoy transcripts compromises antiviral defense, revealing a non‐coding RNA‐mediated ...

Blue Light Receptor PHR2‐Mediated Spectrum Antiviral Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Blue light suppresses RBSDV through the blue‐light receptor ZmPHR2, which interacts with ZmISP in chloroplasts to trigger ROS burst and antiviral defense. The viral effector P6 enhances ZmPHR2–ZmISP interaction, alters their distribution, and suppresses ROS.

Household food production is positively associated with dietary diversity and intake of nutrient-dense foods for older preschool children in poorer families: Results from a nationally-representative survey in Nepal.

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundNutrition-sensitive interventions supporting enhanced household food production have potential to improve child dietary quality. However, heterogeneity in market access may cause systematic differences in program effectiveness depending on ...

Flooding‐Driven Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Global Upland Croplands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Temporary flooding of upland croplands releases nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. Field measurements combined with a global literature synthesis yield a global estimate of 63.3 teragrams of carbon dioxide equivalent per year for diffusive emissions from flooded upland croplands.

Dramatic Enhancement and Integration of Properties in Pork Belly‐Inspired All‐Biomass Composite Films via Facile, Sustainable, and Controllable Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A pork belly‐inspired all‐biomass composite film was constructed through layer‐by‐layer assembly of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), gelatin, and graphitized carbon nanosheets (GCNs) via hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions. The excellent mechanical properties, effective thermal management, and outstanding EMI shielding performance of the ...
