Improvement of Physicomechanical Properties of Pineapple Leaf Fiber Reinforced Composite

International Journal of Biomaterials, 2018
Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared by compression molding. The fiber content varied from 25% to 45% by weight. Water uptake percentages of the composites containing various wt% of fiber were measured. All the composites demonstrated lower water uptake percentages and maximum of 1.93% for 45 wt% PALF/PP ...

Chromatin Remodelling Complexes in Plant Adaptation to Abiotic Stress: Mechanisms and Perspectives

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As sessile organisms, plants have evolved elaborate epigenetic regulatory networks to adapt to a wide range of abiotic stress. Chromatin remodelling is a core epigenetic regulatory mechanism that refers to the process by which chromatin remodelling complexes mediate dynamic changes in chromatin spatial conformation and DNA accessibility ...
