Composite design bioinspired by the mesocarp of Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa)
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2022 Abstract The mesocarp of Bertholletia excelsa is a rich source of inspiration for strong, stiff and damage-tolerant composites. The bioinspired composites developed here are composed of an epoxy matrix with a 3D printed polylactic acid reinforced with 30% of carbon fiber (PLA-30CF) inspired in fibers, and syntactic foam inspired by ...

Isolation and expression analysis of transcripts encoding metallothioneins in oil palm
Biologia Plantarum, 2014 Two of the abundant transcripts encoding type 2 metallothionein (MT) proteins designated as MET2a and MET2b were selected in our previous study due to their high abundance (16.05 %) in the suppression subtractive hybridization library and their ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The global coffee industry, supporting 25 million smallholder farmers, is vulnerable to climate change. Diversifying the coffee species portfolio beyond Arabica and robusta is a promising intervention. Liberica coffee could provide adaptive capacity, although its climate parameters for cultivation are poorly known.

Antihyperlipidemic effect of Punica granatum mesocarp extract (PGME) in rats
International Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2022 Hyperlipidemia is an umbrella term that refers to any disorder of elevated level of lipids circulating in the blood; and is considered the most significant risk factor contributing to the prevalence of cardiovascular, hepatic, and other diseases. The present study was designed to evaluate the possible antihyperlipidemic potential Punica granatum ...

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.The tomato mars1/rough mutant displays enhanced root regeneration and rough fruits due to ectopic cell proliferation. The causal gene encodes a lysine‐specific histone demethylase that normally maintains gene silencing. Its loss alters histone methylation, upregulating several genes, including those B‐type cyclins involved in tissue‐specific cellular ...

Early growth and development of the olive fruit mesocarp
The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology, 2001 We examined growth and development of the ‘Manzanilla’ olive fruit mesocarp in transverse equatorial sections during the first 12 weeks after full bloom (AFB). Sequential sampling and quantitative data provided an integrated view of the formation of this tissue. The mesocarp, or fruit flesh, was formed by relatively isodiametric parenchyma cells with a
