Effect of Different Drying Techniques on Dehydration Kinetics, Physical Properties, and Chemical Composition of Lemon Thyme

Natural Product Communications, 2020
Lemon thyme contains several bioactive health-promoting compounds of high antioxidant capacity—such as polyphenols, carotenoids, and chlorophyll—which may undergo degradation during drying in incorrect processing conditions.

Functional–Taxonomic Scaling Resolves Conflicting Average Genome Size Estimates Across Environmental Gradients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on genome size‐functional breadth theory, we introduce and validate a framework that adjudicates conflicting average genome size (AGS) estimates by testing which estimate yields a gap between scaled functional diversity and scaled taxonomic diversity that is consistent with the expected positive association between genome size and gene functional

Drying behaviour of lemon balm leaves in an indirect double-pass packed bed forced convection solar dryer system

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2018
The thin-layer drying behaviour of lemon balm leaves in an indirect-mode solar dryer with forced convection was investigated. The solar air heater employed a novel counter flow double-pass packed-bed wire mesh layer configuration to enhance the energy ...

Integration of the D‐Genome Reshapes Gene Transcription, Chromatin Architecture, and Metabolome of Allohexaploid Wheat, Leading to Enhanced Environmental Adaptability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Integration of the D‐genome reshapes gene transcription, chromatin architecture, and the metabolome of hexaploid wheat, leading to enhanced adaptability to salt, UV‐B, and alkali stress. ABSTRACT The hybridization‐led integration of the D‐genome into domesticated tetraploid wheat gave rise to allohexaploid wheat, the most cultivated wheat globally ...

Rhizodeposition Drives One Third of Belowground Carbon Input in Agroecosystems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study quantifies photosynthesized C allocation in the plant–soil system across six crop types: barley, wheat, maize, rice, legumes and grasses. It reports C partitioning into shoot respiration, shoot‐C, root‐C, net rhizodeposition and root‐derived CO2, providing standardized percentage averages and GPP‐derived absolute values as a robust baseline ...

Blue Light Receptor PHR2‐Mediated Spectrum Antiviral Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Blue light suppresses RBSDV through the blue‐light receptor ZmPHR2, which interacts with ZmISP in chloroplasts to trigger ROS burst and antiviral defense. The viral effector P6 enhances ZmPHR2–ZmISP interaction, alters their distribution, and suppresses ROS.

How Video‐Based Information Affects Farmers' Willingness to Pay for Drone Services

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Professional service for digital technology like agricultural drones lowers transaction costs and scope thresholds for smallholders. Meanwhile, perceptual adoption barriers remain underexplored. We conduct a two‐stage choice experiment with a randomized video‐based information treatment among 384 Chinese crop farmers to measure its effect on ...

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.
