Mechanisms of Cysteine‐Lysine Covalent Linkage—The Role of Reactive Oxygen Species and Competition with Disulfide Bonds**

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 135, Issue 36, September 4, 2023., 2023
An unusual “NOS” bond with a bridging oxygen atom can form under oxidising conditions between a cysteine and a lysine residue. Now the reaction mechanisms for the formation of single and double NOS bonds in proteins have been computationally investigated.

Rice florigens control a common set of genes at the shoot apical meristem including the F‐BOX BROADER TILLER ANGLE 1 that regulates tiller angle and spikelet development

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 115, Issue 6, Page 1647-1660, September 2023., 2023
SUMMARY Rice flowering is triggered by transcriptional reprogramming at the shoot apical meristem (SAM) mediated by florigenic proteins produced in leaves in response to changes in photoperiod. Florigens are more rapidly expressed under short days (SDs) compared to long days (LDs) and include the HEADING DATE 3a (Hd3a) and RICE FLOWERING LOCUS T1 (RFT1)

A Bio‐Mimetic Leaf Wetness Sensor from Replica Molding of Leaves

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 2, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Accurate measurement of leaf wetness duration is essential for predicting the risk of plant disease. Here, a novel leaf wetness sensor with a biomimetic leaf replica surface that more accurately predicts leaf wetness across plant species is developed.

Probing the Effect of Rigidity on the Cellular Uptake of Core‐Shell Nanoparticles: Stiffness Effects are Size Dependent

open access: yesSmall, Volume 18, Issue 38, September 22, 2022., 2022
Nanoparticles of different polymeric core rigidities are tested for cell uptake, using two particle sizes, 50 and 100 nm diameters. Whilst uptake is similar for all 50 nm particles, softer particles are taken up faster and threefold more into mammalian cells than harder nanoparticles with the larger 100 nm particles.

Effects of UV Aging, Water Storage and Recycling on Mechanical Properties of Biogenic Wood‐Plastic Composites from Polyamide 11

open access: yesMacromolecular Symposia, Volume 403, Issue 1, June 2022., 2022
Abstract In this study, the weather stability of a biogenic wood‐plastic composite (bio‐WPC) made of bio‐based polyamide 11 (PA11) and 30 wt% of beech wood particles (BP) by twin‐screw compounding is evaluated. It is found that UV aging has no significant effects on the modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of the injection molded bio‐WPC due to ...

Poloxamer‐linked prodrug of a topoisomerase I inhibitor SN22 shows efficacy in models of high‐risk neuroblastoma with primary and acquired chemoresistance

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
Abstract High‐risk solid tumors continue to pose a tremendous therapeutic challenge due to multidrug resistance. Biological mechanisms driving chemoresistance in high‐risk primary and recurrent disease are distinct: in newly diagnosed patients, non‐response to therapy is often associated with a higher level of tumor “stemness” paralleled by ...

Hydrophylic Polymers as a Carrier for VA Mycorrhizal Inoculum [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Horticulture, 1985
Four techniques of inoculating rooted Carissa grandiflora cuttings with the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices were evaluated. Placement of a root inoculum around the root systems of Carissa or totally incorporated into potting medium resulted in higher colonization levels than dipping cutting root systems in suspensions of inoculum in Viterra or ...

Novel Karaya Gum Derivatives Produced by Alkaline Hydrolysis and Periodate Oxidation for Active Packaging with Cinnamaldehyde

open access: yesJournal of Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
This study aims to produce novel derivatives of karaya gum using chemical modification and then apply them for active packaging with cinnamaldehyde as the main active component. Native karaya gum (NKG) was hydrolyzed using sodium hydroxide to yield hydrolyzed karaya gum (HKG), which then was oxidized using sodium periodate to yield hydrolyzed‐oxidized ...

Influence of the hydrophilicity of montmorillonite on structure and properties of thermoplastic wheat starch/montmorillonite bionanocomposites

open access: yesPolymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 32, Issue 11, Page 4479-4489, November 2021., 2021
Abstract The increasing environmental pollution with petroleum‐based plastics has advanced research on biodegradable polymers. Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is one promising candidate due to wide availability from various renewable sources, low cost and biodegradability.
