Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Roots and the rhizosphere: a perspective on the hidden engine of regenerative, antifragile, and digitally enabled agriculture

Farming System
For decades, agricultural optimization has focused primarily on aboveground yield and external inputs while neglecting the complexity and functional integrity of belowground processes.

Water‐Efficient Smart Drip Irrigation Enabled by a Low‐Power and High‐Efficiency Flexible Electromagnetic Actuator

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Water scarcity poses a critical threat to global food security. A low‐power, flexible electromagnetic actuator is presented for smart drip irrigation systems. The device achieves precise, wide‐range flow modulation (0.05–5.8 mL/min) in response to real‐time plant demands, reducing water consumption compared to conventional flood irrigation.

Exploring the principles behind antibiotics with limited resistance

Nature Communications
Antibiotics that target multiple cellular functions are anticipated to be less prone to bacterial resistance. Here we hypothesize that while dual targeting is crucial, it is not sufficient in preventing resistance.

Integrating Soil Physicochemical Properties and Microbial Functional Prediction to Assess Land-Use Impacts in a Cold-Region Wetland Ecosystem

Life
This study investigated the effects of land-use change and wetland restoration on soil microbial community diversity, structure, and function in a cold-region wetland ecosystem. Soil samples from six land-use types were analyzed for key physicochemical and biochemical properties, including soil water content, pH, total nitrogen, soil organic carbon ...

Systematic Benchmarking of a Noise‐Tolerant Conductive Hydrogel Electrode for Epidermal Bioelectronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
General schematic of the approach. Abstract Conventional Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes remain the clinical standard for electrophysiological monitoring but are hindered by poor skin conformity, mechanical rigidity, and signal degradation, particularly under motion or sweat.

Bio‐Based Wax Interfaces for Droplet Energy Harvesting at Fluoropolymer‐Like Output Levels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Replacing unsustainable fluorinated polymers in droplet‐based energy harvesters is usually limited by low power outputs, but carefully selected bio‐based polymers are capable of creating fluoropolymer‐like voltage outputs. Abstract Droplet impact and rebound on solid surfaces has emerged as a promising method for energy harvesting, typically ...

Enhancing the function and provisioning of ecosystem services in agriculture: Agroecological principles [PDF]

, 2015
Agroecology is essentially based on the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural production, and thus represents a true rupture from the way agriculture has been seen and analysed by mainstream science for over a century.

GbWAKL20 Phosphorylates GbNFYB8 to Modulate Verticillium Wilt Resistance in Cotton

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wall‐associated receptor‐like kinases (WAKLs) play pivotal roles in extracellular–intracellular signal transduction. Upon sensing Verticillium dahliae infestation at the plasma membrane, GbWAKL20 accumulates and transmits signals to the nucleus via endoplasmic reticulum‐mediated Golgi vesicle transport.
