Mapping a leaf senescence gene els1 by BSR-Seq in common wheat

Crop Journal, 2018
Leaf senescence is normally the last stage of plant development. Early senescence of functional leaves significantly reduces the photosynthetic time and efficiency, seriously affecting grain yield and quality in wheat.

From Clinic to Computation: Multiscale Bioengineering Strategies for Durable Biological Aortic Valve Replacements

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Exogenous ascorbic acid delayed leaf senescence of early flowering rice mutant FTL10

Photosynthetica, 2019
FTL10 is an early flowering mutant of OsFTL10-suppressed transgenic rice (Oryza sativa L.) with premature senescence phenotype. Early leaf senescence can cause negative effects on rice yield, therefore delaying leaf senescence and prolonging the leaf ...

Controls on carbon and energy exchange by a black spruce - moss ecosystem: Testing the mathematical model Ecosys with data from the BOREAS experiment [PDF]

, 2001
Stomatal limitations to mass and energy exchange over boreal black spruce forests may be caused by low needle N concentrations that limit CO2 fixation rates.

Structure Formation in Butterfly Scales: Interplay of Genetic Control, Mechanical Instabilities, and Dynamic Material Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth‐driven mechanical instabilities shape the resulting nanoscale architectures created from single cells.

Functional characterisation of constitutive expresser of pathogenesis-related genes 5 : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2017
As reported previously, CPR5 negatively regulates the onset of leaf death, hypersensitive response, disease resistance and early leaf senescence. cpr5 plants contain aberrant trichomes and higher levels of ROS, SA and JA.

Atomic Layer Deposition in Transistors and Monolithic 3D Integration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transistors are fundamental building blocks of modern electronics. This review summarizes recent progress in atomic layer deposition (ALD) for the synthesis of two‐dimensional (2D) metal oxides and transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), with particular emphasis on their enabling role in monolithic three‐dimensional (M3D) integration for next ...

Auxin and leaf senescence regulation [PDF]

SCIENTIA SINICA Vitae, 2019
As the last stage of leaf development, the initiation and progression of leaf senescence are tightly controlled by genetic programing and coordinated by both internal and external factors. Plant hormone is one of the important internal factors that affect leaf senescence.

Transfer Printing and Reconfiguration of Soft Electronics Using Digital Microfluidics and Laser Machining

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This paper presents a digital microfluidics‐based technique for transferring and reconfiguring soft nanomembranes. Laser‐machined nanothin membranes are picked up, transported, and aligned via tailored surface tension and the actuation of water droplets, enabling the development of flexible electronics, the integration of functional materials on 3D ...
