Femtosecond‐Laser Mould Texturing Enables Tunable Biointerfaces in COC Microfluidics

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Femtosecond‐laser texturing of injection‐mould inserts enables scalable engineering of biointerfaces in cyclic olefin copolymer microfluidics. Replicated micro‐ and nano‐topographies modulate surface roughness and wettability, leading to texture‐dependent protein adsorption and cell adhesion without chemical post‐processing.

Interaction of Scion and Stock on Leaf Senescence of Soybean Plants Grafted at Mid-Stem during Ripening

Plant Production Science, 2005
Leaf senescence is slower in the soybean cultivar Tachinagaha (T) than in the cultivar Enrei (E). Reciprocal grafting of the two cultivars at the basal node showed that this difference was related to roots properties. However, roots had no effect on leaf

Muscle Control of an Extra Robotic Digit

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study compares muscle‐ and movement‐based control for operating a supernumerary robotic thumb. While movement control performs better in the proposed tasks, muscle‐based (EMG) control promotes broader motor learning. The results highlight the promise and challenges of using biosignals for human augmentation, offering new insights into intuitive ...

Abscisic acid as an internal integrator of multiple physiological processes modulates leaf senescence onset in Arabidopsis thaliana

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Many studies have shown that exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) promotes leaf abscission and senescence. However, owing to a lack of genetic evidence, ABA function in plant senescence has not been clearly defined. Here, two-leaf early-senescence mutants (eas)

Root‐Stimulated Movements in Mimosa Pudica for Biohybrid Robotic Systems

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that thermal and electrical stimulation of Mimosa pudica root induces movement of the petiole and pinnules without direct stimulation of the aerial organs, thereby enabling a plant‐based robotic gripper and providing a foundation for the development of intelligent and sustainable systems.

Effects of a Reduction in Soil Moisture from One Month beforeFlowering through Ripening on Dry Matter Production and Ecophysiological Characteristics of Wheat Plants

Plant Production Science, 2004
We found in the previous study that the wheat plants grown under relatively low soil moisture conditions (D plot) could attain heavier dry matter than the plants watered on the basis of average local precipitation (W plot).
