Anatomical maturity grading and fiber cell wall properties of small-diameter bamboo

Industrial Crops and Products
The mechanical performance of bamboo is largely determined by the properties of its fiber cell walls, which develop progressively during culm maturation.

Determination of Yield and Fiber Quality Characteristics of Some Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Varieties Cultivated in Şanlıurfa-Harran Plain Conditions

ISPEC Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2022
The study was carried out in the Harran Plain in 2021. Cotton varieties (Candia, Zena, Kaira, Lodos, Livzara, Bomba, Fiona, May-455, Lima, Lazer) preferred by the producers were used as materials in the study.

Linking neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis, and myelination defects to neurodevelopmental disruption in primary mitochondrial disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.

Palatability of teff grass by horses [PDF]

, 2014
Most forages commonly used to feed horses have potential detriments including blister beetles or excessive fiber concentrations. Teff grass (T), a warm-season annual forage, has the potential to be a good alternative for horses because of its lack of ...

Factors influencing the nematode community during composting and nematode-based criteria for compost maturity [PDF]

, 2018
Pilot studies indicate that shifts in the nematode species composition, life strategies and feeding behavior during composting appear to be fairly consistent and, therefore, promising as a potential tool to assess compost maturity. However, this has been

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Genetic dissection and origin of pleiotropic loci underlying multi-level fiber quality traits in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Cotton fiber quality is a persistent concern that determines planting benefits and the quality of finished textile products. However, the limitations of measurement instruments have hindered the accurate evaluation of some important fiber characteristics

Modeling Fiber Fineness, Maturity, and Micronaire in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2013
Crop performance is determined by the combined effects of the genotype of the crop and the environmental conditions of the production system. This study was undertaken to develop a dynamic model for simulating environmental (temperature and solar ...

Brown Mid-Rib Corn Variety Trial [PDF]

, 2013
Brown mid-rib (BMR) corn has a lower lignin content than other silage corn varieties. The lower lignin content increases the fiber digestibility (NDF digestibility) of the corn silage. Increases in NDF digestibility lead to increased in dry matter intake,

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.
