Nectar-Secreting and Nectarless Epidendrum: Structure of the Inner Floral Spur

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Epidendrum, the largest genus of Neotropical orchids, contains both nectar-secreting and nectarless species. Here, we compare the fine structure of the inner floral spur, termed the cuniculus, in nectariferous (E. difforme, E. nocturnum,E.

An Edible Biohybrid Platform Accomplishes In Situ Fenton‐Mediated Enteral Nanoplastics Aging and Excretion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An edible biohybrid platform triggers nanoplastics (NPs) aging and agglomeration by in situ generating hydroxyl radicals within the intestine. The enlarged NPs are unable to penetrate the intestine and are subsequently excreted. Simultaneously, probiotic biofilms reinforce the intestinal barrier.

In Situ Confinement of 0D Halometallates Within Deep Eutectic Solvents: From Systematic Screening to Metal‐Tunable Luminescence for Anti‐Counterfeiting Eutectogels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report photostable, photoluminescent deep eutectic solvents (DESs) powered by in situ‐formed zero‐dimensional (0D) halometallates. Stabilized by microenvironment‐controlling hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and donor (HBD) networks, these DESs exhibit vibrant, metal ion‐tunable emission (PLQY = 60.2%).

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

A Conserved DT2‐bZIP66‐NF‐YC4 Regulatory Module Confers Drought Tolerance in Rice and Arabidopsis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a conserved tripartiteDT2–bZIP66–NF‐YC4 transcriptional module that enhances rice drought tolerance by activating stress‐responsive genes. This regulatory complex is functionally conserved across cereals and Arabidopsis, providing promising targets for engineering drought‐resilient crops. ABSTRACT Drought stress severely restricts

Nano‐Backpack Engineered Probiotics with Reactive Oxygen Species–Responsive Tungsten Release for Synergistic Therapy of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated probiotic system is engineered to execute a programmed therapeutic cascade against inflammatory bowel disease. Upon pathological signals, the system sequentially performs ROS scavenging, tungsten release, and selective pathogen suppression, thereby breaking the oxidative stress–dysbiosis cycle to remodel gut microbiota and reinforce ...

Foraging behaviour and pollination contribution of naturally occurring bumble bees in red clover

Basic and Applied Ecology
Pollinators optimise their foraging behaviours in response to changes in floral rewards, which may consequently affect pollen transfer and plant reproductive success, especially in plants that require cross-pollination.

Analog Weight Update Rule in Ferroelectric Hafnia, Using picoJoule Programming Pulses

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Resistive, ferroelectric synaptic weights based on BEOL‐compatible hafnia/zirconia nanolaminates are fabricated. Lateral downscaling the devices below 10 µm2 enables 20 ns programming with electrical pulses, dissipating ≤ 3 pJ. Experimental results show that final conductance state is set by pulse amplitude, and is largely independent of the initial ...

Wine Tourism as a Catalyst for Sustainable Performance: The Mediating Role of Corporate Legitimacy and Green Innovation

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to explore the influence of Wine Tourism (WT) on the Sustainable Performance (SP) of wineries in Spain. It particularly investigates how Corporate Social Legitimacy (CSL) and Green Innovation (GI) may act as intermediary factors in this relationship.

FLORAL ATTRACTIVENESS AND REWARDS AFFECT RESILIENCE OF HOST-POLLINATOR SYSTEMS: A GENETIC MODEL

Journal of Biological Systems, 2002
A genetic model was designed to depict what the resilience of host-pollinator interactions may be according to well known genetic rules and assuming an underlying genetic basis for (a) the attraction that flowers exert on pollinators, and (b) the fitness gain by the pollinator from visiting a flower.
