Da Vinci's mischief: xylem conduits in the stems of woody plants do not furcate

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The hydraulic architecture of plants is often modeled as a ‘furcating’ network, in which xylem conduits proliferate in number toward the stem apex, analogous to animal circulatory systems. Yet whether furcation actually occurs within woody stems remains untested, despite major implications for carbon costs and hydraulic efficiency.

Unveiling the Hidden Networks: AFM Insights into Pre‐Vulcanized Hevea Latex and Its Profound Impact on Latex Film Mechanical Properties

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering
Natural rubber (NR) films with different natural networks—concentrated NR (CNR), deproteinized NR (DPNR), and small rubber particles (SRP)—are investigated to explore the relationship between network structure and film properties using atomic force ...

Physiological and Proteomic Analyses of Molybdenum- and Ethylene-Responsive Mechanisms in Rubber Latex

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential micronutrient in many plants. In the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis, Mo application can reduce the shrinkage of the tapping line, decrease tapping panel dryness, and finally increase rubber latex yield.

On language, (inter)disciplinarity, and collaboration with local scholars in Papua New Guinea environmental anthropology

open access: yesThe Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract How can anthropologists ensure the accuracy of the statements they make in their publications, especially in an era of ever increasing budgetary and bureaucratic pressures that limit the duration of fieldwork? What should the role of language abilities be in this context and to what degree is it necessary to learn the language of the place ...

Thickness Reduction Strategy for Graphite Composite Bipolar Plates: Materials, Structure, and Manufacturing Process

open access: yesCarbon Neutralization, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2026.
Schematic diagram of challenges and advanced strategies by CBP after thickness reduction. ABSTRACT The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) converts clean hydrogen's chemical energy into electricity and is vital for carbon neutrality. However, its development is limited by low volumetric power density and high cost.

microRNAs: new regulatores of biological function in Hevea brasilienis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Fine regulation of gene expression is partially ensured by microRNAs (miRNAs) in response to external stimuli. They negatively regulate gene expression by targeting the cleavage or inhibit the translation of target messenger RN As (mRNAs).
