Assembling Hexahedral Supramolecular Nano‐Aggregates on Rice Wax Layer Matrices to Promote the Leaf Deposition and Bioavailability of Bactericides for Plant Protections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To address the problem of off‐target movement and low bioavailability of pesticides, two anisotropic supramolecular building units (BiTA18@β‐CD and BiTA18@γ‐CD) have been invented that can self‐assemble into nano‐sized hexagonal cuboids on the rice microcrystalline matrix. This manipulation realizes the enhanced utilization of bactericides for rice and

Electronic Nanomaterials for Plants: A Review on Current Advances and Future Prospects

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Global food security faces mounting challenges from climate change and rapid population growth. This review highlights the pivotal role of electronic nanomaterials–including metals, metal oxides, and carbon‐based structures–in enhancing plant photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience. Furthermore, it explores how emerging platforms such as

A generalized-growth model to characterize the early ascending phase of infectious disease outbreaks [PDF]

, 2016
A better characterization of the early growth dynamics of an epidemic is needed to dissect the important drivers of disease transmission. We introduce a 2-parameter generalized-growth model to characterize the ascending phase of an outbreak and capture ...

D3.1 GRAPEVINE Plagues and Diseases Models v1

, 2023
The main objective of Activity 3 (Models specification and implementation) of GRAPEVINE project is to define several models for the identification of diseases and plagues, and the way to mitigate their effects. These models represent: a physical model about the behaviour and evolution of diseases / plagues, identification of the diseases / plagues in ...
