Resurrecting a locally extinct species from Jordan: Pre-germination treatments affect seed dormancy, germination dynamics and seedling survival in Rosa pulverulenta.

Global Ecology and Conservation
Habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change present significant threats to global plant biodiversity. Small and isolated populations residing in threatened habitats at the edge of their natural distribution are particularly vulnerable to local ...

Probiotic spore‐based bioresponsive drug delivery for reversing inflammatory bowel disease and its associated anxiety and depression

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A probiotic spore‐based drug delivery system (BCS‐Que@ApNPs) provides excellent targeted delivery, bioresponsive drug release, and long‐term retention (over 48 h), making it suitable for oral treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and its associated anxiety and depression.

Persister Intestinal Bacteria, Epigenetics and Major Depression

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
The microbiota-gut-brain axis has been proposed as a potential modulator of mood disorders such as major depression. Complex bidirectional biochemical activities in this axis have been posited to participate in adverse mood disorders.

Carbon disulphide promotes sprouting of potato minitubers [PDF]

, 2010
We investigated the effects of postharvest application of carbon disulphide (CS2) in various concentrations (0, 15, 25, 35, 45 and 55 ml m-3) and with different exposure duration (24, 48, 72 and 96 h) on breaking of dormancy and sprouting of potato ...

Engineering programmable peptide hydrogels for chronic refractory wounds: A mechanism‐driven framework

BMEMat, EarlyView.
To break the self‐perpetuating pathology of chronic wounds, we propose a mechanism‐driven engineering framework for peptide‐based hydrogels. This review elucidates a hierarchical strategy—from molecular design to intelligent, multi‐functional systems—that enables these programmable biomaterials to dynamically intervene in key pathological loops and ...

The role of microbial dormancy autoinducers in metabolism blockade

, 2020
Alkyl-substituted hydroxybenzenes (AHBs), which are autoinducers of microbial dormancy (d1 factors), were found to stabilize the structure of protein macromolecules and modify the catalytic activity of enzymes.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Akinete formation under nitrogen limitation in an invasive cyanobacterium

Frontiers in Microbiology
Invasive species are a global problem threatening the function of ecosystems. Besides prominent species, microbial invaders are considered as “invisible” and have spread over almost all continents.
