Legume Science, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023 Abstract A chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) collection consisting of 445 Kabuli‐type collected from different locations of Iran was evaluated based on six qualitative and 14 quantitative morphological descriptors. Chickpea accessions were widely varied in plant height, the number of pods per plant, plant dry weight, 100‐grain weight, grain yield, and ...

Plant sizes and shapes above and belowground and their interactions with climate
New Phytologist, Volume 235, Issue 3, Page 1032-1056, August 2022., 2022 Summary Although the above and belowground sizes and shapes of plants strongly influence plant competition, community structure, and plant–environment interactions, plant sizes and shapes remain poorly characterized across climate regimes. We investigated relationships among shoot and root system size and climate.

Latex Serum‐Derived Supramolecular Networks Enable Toughening of Natural Rubber
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Latex‐serum addition enhances strain‐induced crystallization (SIC) toughening in natural rubber, increasing tearing strength and extending the SIC activation window. Supramolecular networks form via bifurcated hydrogen bonding between polyol components (e.g., quebrachitol) and end‐functionalized polyisoprene chains, serving as effective crystallization

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Chicory roots produce inulin, a dietary fiber, as well as large quantities of bitter sesquiterpene lactones (STLs), which have valuable biological activities. In an effort to understand the compartmentalization of metabolism within chicory roots and the molecular basis of the development of laticifers that produce the chicory latex, we ...

Strategic techniques for upgrading bio‐oil from fast pyrolysis: a critical review
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 19, Issue 6, Page 2457-2473, November/December 2025.Abstract Pyrolysis has been the subject of extensive scientific research due to its potential application to various waste streams and byproducts from different production systems. One of its main products is the liquid fraction known as bio‐oil – a complex material composed of a wide variety of organic molecules and a significant water content.
