Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Mountain recreation impact on changes in soil penetration resistance of spruce forests
Ukrainian Journal of Forest and Wood Science, 2023 The uniqueness of the Carpathian Mountain Forest ecosystems, a large part of which belongs to nature conservation areas, attracts a significant number of visitors annually. Intensive tourist flow on popular hiking trails leads to recreational digression,

Effect of microbial activity on penetrometer resistance and elastic modulus of soil at different temperatures [PDF]
, 2017 We explore the effect of microbial activity stimulated by root exudates on the penetrometer resistance of soil and its elastic modulus. This is important because it is a measure of the mechanical strength of soil and it correlates closely with the rate ...

Estimating penetrometer resistance and matric potential from the velocities of shear and compression waves [PDF]
, 2013 Recently there has been interest in using the velocity of elastic waves to deduce soil physical properties. We wanted to validate the suggestion that the small strain shear modulus has a relatively simple linear relationship with penetrometer resistance.
