Conserved cellular patterning in the mesophyll of rice leaves
Plant Direct, 2023 The mesophyll cells of grass leaves, such as rice, are traditionally viewed as displaying a relatively uniform pattern, in contrast to the clear distinctions of palisade and spongy layers in typical eudicot leaves. This quantitative analysis of mesophyll

Mechanistic insights into chemical and photochemical transformations of bismuth vanadate photoanodes
Nature Communications, 2016 Metal oxide semiconductors are promising materials for solar energy capture but can suffer from stability problems. Here, the authors present a methodology for evaluating corrosion mechanisms and apply it to BiVO4, revealing chemical instabilities that ...

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2023 Snap beans are cultivars of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) that are cultivated for their fleshy immature pods that exhibit a wide diversity of pod shapes and sizes. The genetic basis of the snap bean pod shape is complex and involves the interaction of

Ultrafast spectroscopy reveals singlet fission, ionization and excimer formation in perylene film
Scientific Reports, 2021 Singlet exciton fission (SF) is a spin-allowed process whereby two triplet excitons are created from one singlet exciton. This phenomenon can offset UV photon energy losses and enhance the overall efficiency in photovoltaic devices.

Reintroducing photosynthesis [PDF]
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2012 AbstractThis article reports on conceptual difficulties related to photosynthesis and respiratory metabolism of a Plant Physiology course for undergraduate students that could hinder their better learning of metabolic processes. A survey of results obtained in this area during the last 10 academic years was performed, as well as a specific test, aimed ...
