Geometry‐Encoded Actuation as a Structural Interaction Layer in Origami Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present geometry‐encoded actuation (GEA), a design framework that integrates multistable origami with liquid crystal elastomer actuators to encode environmental interactions into autonomous structural responses. GEA enables programmable shape transformation without continuous sensing or complex control, achieving robust adaptive manipulation and ...

Differential responses of red pollen parents on colour of green maternal parents of apple (Malus × domestica) cultivars

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences
Under open pollination conditions, the highest fruit set was observed in Red Gold (76.33%) and the lowest in Anna (51.44 %). Cross-compatibility studies revealed that Red Gold as pollinizer gave the highest fruit set in Golden Delicious Reinders (84.09%)

Fruit set as affected by pollinators of teak (Tectona grandis L. f.) at two tree spacings in a seed orchard [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2009
Fruit set was determined at 2, 3 and 4 wks after pollination (WAP) in a teak seed orchard having 12x12 and 6x6 m spacings. Generally, the percentages of fruit set at 2 WAP were much higher than at 3 and 4 WAP.

Parental child-feeding strategies in relation to Dutch children's fruit and vegetable intake [PDF]

, 2009
Objective: To identify parental child-feeding strategies that may increase children's fruit or vegetable intake, since the relationship between these strategies and children's intake has never been investigated for fruit and vegetables as two separate ...

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

Pollinator effectiveness and fruit set in common ivy, Hedera helix (Araliaceae)

, 2010
Flowers of common ivy (Hedera helix L.) provide late season pollen and nectar for several insect groups, and its fruits are a winter and spring food source for frugivorous birds.

The Landscape of Long Non‐Coding RNAs Provides Insights Into the Domestication and Improvement of Pear Fruit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that long non‐coding RNAs represent important regulatory components underlying pear domestication and improvement. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify selected lncRNAs associated with fruit traits, while functional validation uncovers a lignin‐related lncRNA, lncRNA‐pys, that promotes lignin accumulation.

Dual‐line Genome‐scale CRISPR Screening Enables Robust Target Gene Discovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A species‐optimized CRISPR platform integrates efficient piggyBac delivery, genome‐scale sgRNA libraries, and parallel screening in two independently engineered Bactrocera dorsalis Cas9 cell lines. Cross‐line consensus analysis filters line‐specific effects, enriches candidates with reproducible in vivo phenotypes, and reveals conserved, species ...
