Structure and Mechanical Behavior of Fully Substituted Acid Starch Esters
Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 224, Issue 19, October 2023., 2023 Fully substituted acid starch esters (FASEs) with 2 to 12 Carbons side chains are completely amorphous, while a part of C16 side chains is able to crystallize, depending of the storage time at room temperature. Ductile or brittle behavior is observed for FASE with C16 side chains, depending on the presence or absence of crystals.

Photosynthetic capacity in seagrass seeds and early‐stage seedlings of Zostera marina
New Phytologist, Volume 239, Issue 4, Page 1300-1314, August 2023., 2023 Summary In many terrestrial seeds, photosynthetic activity supplies O2 to the developing plant embryo to sustain aerobic metabolism and enhance biosynthetic activity. However, whether seagrass seeds possess similar photosynthetic capacity to alleviate intra‐seed hypoxic stress conditions is unknown.
