The genome sequence and effector complement of the flax rust pathogen Melampsora lini [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Rust fungi cause serious yield reductions on crops, including wheat, barley, soybean, coffee, and represent real threats to global food security. Of these fungi, the flax rust pathogen Melampsora lini has been developed most extensively over the past 80 ...

Shear Conditioning Promotes Microvascular Endothelial Barrier Resilience in a Human BBB‐on‐a‐Chip Model of Systemic Inflammation Leading to Astrogliosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Physiological flow (0.5 Pa) conditioning promotes resilience of an iPSC‐derived blood–brain barrier endothelium to mild systemic inflammation. In contrast, high “cytokine storm” levels induce barrier breakdown, fibrinogen leakage, and astrocyte activation, reconstituting the two‐hit injury mechanism on‐a‐chip.

Genomic Comparison and Population Diversity Analysis Provide Insights into the Domestication and Improvement of Flax

open access: yesiScience, 2020
Summary: Flax has been cultivated for its oil and fiber for thousands of years. However, it remains unclear how the modifications of agronomic traits occurred on the genetic level during flax cultivation. In this study, we conducted genome-wide variation

Effective Material Stiffness in Curved Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A new actuator effective material stiffness measurement method is created. It produces a new metric called shape actuation modulus with the potential to help design actuators. This method shows that the smaller the curvature of hinge‐shaped actuators, the stiffer they are.

Possibility of Obtaining Long Fiber from Oilseed Flax Trusts Using Various Technological Equipment

open access: yesСельскохозяйственные машины и технологии, 2021
The authors showed that the short fiber of oilseed flax was usually obtained from a tangled mass of broken stems. However, recently, the question of the processing possibility of the culture whole stems left after harvesting into long fiber was raised ...
