Free amino acid regulation in fronds and roots of two Pteris cretica L. ferns under arsenic stress
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2020 In the present study, free amino acid (AA) regulation in the arsenic (As) hyperaccumulating ferns was evaluated in a pot experiment to determine the relationship between As stress and the characteristic change in metabolism of AAs.

Involvement of Allelopathy in the Formation of Monospecific Colonies of Ferns
Natural Product Communications, 2015 Some fern species often dominate plant communities by forming large monospecific colonies. However, the potential mechanism for this domination of the ferns remains obscure.

Pteridophytes as active components in gardening, agricultural and horticultural ecosystems in Japan
Advances in Horticultural Science, 2015 Many members of Pteridophytes have been traditionally used in the designs of Japanese gardens and a large variety of ferns attract gardeners as greening pieces in the garden designs.

Ferns are less dependent on passive dilution by cell expansion to coordinate leaf vein and stomatal spacing than angiosperms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Producing leaves with closely spaced veins is a key innovation linked to high rates of photosynthesis in angiosperms. A close geometric link between veins and stomata in angiosperms ensures that investment in enhanced venous water transport provides the ...

The KIF6‐RBP Complex Orchestrates mRNA Transport Required for Sperm Flagellar Assembly
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Two homozygous deleterious KIF6 variants are identified in unrelated men with impaired sperm motility. Mouse models and multi‐omics analyses reveal that KIF6 cooperates with the RNA‐binding proteins FMRP and FXR1 to deliver mRNAs essential for sperm flagellar assembly, linking disrupted mRNA transport to reduced abundance of key structural and ...

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.We demonstrate how improved electrochemical performance during water electrolysis is achieved when a porous transport electrode (PTE) is coupled with a traditional catalyst coated membrane (CCM). Using operando neutron radiography, a more homogenous water distribution near the catalyst layer‐membrane interface is revealed in PTE‐based designs due to ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Die elektrochemische Energiespeicherung stößt bei extremer Miniaturisierung an fundamentale Grenzen, da Grenzflächen‐ und Raumladungseffekte dominieren. Hier stellen wir eine selektive Interphase mit ortsfesten Ladungen in einer Zwillingsrohr‐μ‐Swiss‐Roll‐Architektur vor.
