Examining the Impact of Row Planting on Labor Use for Sustainable Food Production Among Maize Farmers in Rural Ghana

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers are reverting to traditional production methods due to the high opportunity costs and unintended consequences of new technologies. This study focuses on row planting technology, which is labor‐intensive and slow without mechanized operations.

Visible‐Light Sensitized Isomerization in the Lipid Bilayer Enables Activation of a Transmembrane Transporter

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A stiff‐stilbene‐based transmembrane anion transporter is isomerized by energy transfer from a ruthenium tris(bipyridyl) photosensitizer in the lipid bilayer. This sensitized isomerization allows activation of chloride transport using visible instead of UV light, without the need to chemically modify the stiff‐stilbene photoswitch.

Light distribution on citrus canopy affects physiological parameters and fruiting pattern [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Light interception by the orange tree canopy during flower bud differentiation and subsequent flowering and fruit setting has been monitored by continuous data recording from 48 silicon cells distributed in different canopy zones.

Evaluating the African arid corridor hypothesis: A meta‐analysis including the phylogenetic and biogeographical history of Sesamothamnus

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise We examined the African arid corridor (AAC) disjunction pattern of vascular plants between northeastern and southwestern Africa in the context of geological and climatic events since the late Miocene. We developed a phylogenetic and biogeographical framework for the arid‐adapted genus Sesamothamnus (Pedaliaceae), a classic example of ...

Controlling Near‐Infrared Fluorescence‐to‐Phosphorescence Ratios and Triplet Lifetimes in Rhodium(I) Dimers via Primary and Secondary Coordination Sphere Effects

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
RhI dimers with bridging aryl isocyanide and di‐phosphine ligands show NIR‐I or NIR‐II fluorescence/phosphorescence, depending on the ligands and conformational rigidity at the Rh2 core. Rh‐Rh interactions can be tuned by peripheral modification of the aryl isocyanide ligand, resulting in a rigid Rh2 core and improved photophysical properties ...

Boron‐Doping of a Macrocyclic Tetrafuran Framework Unveils an Expanded Porphyrinoid With Switchable (Anti)Aromaticity and Conformational Dynamics

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We disclose a novel boron macrocycle derived from the sustainable furan building block. The boraporphyrinoid exhibits a global antiaromatic ring current and dynamic conformational flexibility. Twofold reduction induces a switch to strong global aromaticity, accompanied by stiffening of the porphyrinoid backbone.

An Artificial Molecular Pump Powered by Light

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A minimal rotaxane‐based supramolecular system functions as a light‐powered molecular pump, capturing macrocycles from solution and concentrating them within an intramolecular compartment. Repeated azobenzene photoisomerization modulates the binding and kinetic barriers of threading and shuttling, generating a photon‐driven energy ratchet that sustains

Studies of molecular mechanisms integrating carbon metabolism and growth in plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Plants use light energy, carbon dioxide and water to produce sugars and other carbohydrates, which serve as stored energy reserves and as building blocks for biosynthetic reactions.

Oxidation State Determines Solvent Structure Around a Manganese–Vanadium Polyoxometalate Water‐Oxidation Catalyst

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Oxidation state controls microsolvation in the polyoxometalate {MnV}n−$\{{\rm MnV}\}^{n-}$ water‐oxidation catalyst in acetonitrile/water mixtures. The reduced species {MnV}3− attracts a highly structured hydration layer even at low water content, preferentially binding terminal V═O sites and excluding acetonitrile, while oxidized species show weaker ...
