Retromer Regulates Macro‐ and Micro‐Autophagy via Distinct Vacuolar Proteases in the Rice Blast Fungus

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In wild‐type of M. oryzae (Guy11), MoPrb1 and MoPep4 are delivered into the vacuole by the retromer complex to mediate protein degradation and selective autophagy. Their proper localization and catalytic functions are essential for the fungal vegetative growth, conidiation and pathogenicity. However, retromer mutations disrupt this transport, impairing

Review of the Challenges and Prospects in Agrivoltaics

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This articles reviews the recent prospects of agri‐photovoltaics (agri‐PV) across continents. The existing standards and pilot projects to standardize new codes and regulations are discussed. The state‐of‐the‐art agri‐PV scheme's benefits and lackings are presented. Community acceptance and policy barriers are also discussed where prospective solutions

Are agrochemical‐free and biodiversity‐friendly attributes substitutes or complements? Evidence from a coffee choice experiment

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Eco‐labels inform consumers about the sustainable attributes of a product, but consumer face challenges to differentiate and select for specific attributes. Certification programs are similarly challenged to incentivize adoption of sustainable practices in product supply chains when consumer ability to differentiate sustainable attributes is ...

Extreme fire severity interacts with seed traits to moderate post‐fire species assemblages

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is globally pushing fire regimes to new extremes, with unprecedented large‐scale severe fires. Persistent soil seed banks are a key mechanism for plant species recovery after fires, but extreme fire severity may generate soil temperatures beyond thresholds seeds are adapted to.

Moving on From Bland: The Evolution of the Law and Minimally Conscious Patients [PDF]

, 2014
The decision in Bland centred on the withdrawal of artificial nutrition and hydration from a patient in a persistent vegetative state (PVS). Since then, a new medical condition has emerged, known as a minimally conscious state (MCS).
