Root exudates: the hidden part of plant defense

Trends in Plant Science, 2014
The significance of root exudates as belowground defense substances has long been underestimated, presumably due to being buried out of sight. Nevertheless, this chapter of root biology has been progressively addressed within the past decade through the characterization of novel constitutively secreted and inducible phytochemicals that directly repel ...

Regulated Ion‐Diffusion Hydrogels for Subtle and Multimodal Temperature‐Strain Sensing in Wound Monitoring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, dual‐channel hydrogel patch enables simultaneous detection of wound temperature and strain by integrating ion‐diffusion‐mediated thermoelectric and resistive sensing. The conformal design maintains stable performance during motion, capturing subtle inflammatory and mechanical changes for continuous wound monitoring.

Hybrid Nanofibers for Multimodal Accelerated Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fabrication of wound healing scaffolds based on biocompatible nanofibers. Nanofibers offering high surface area, flexibility, and biocompatibility significantly improved the healing outcome in vivo. Histological, immunological, and anti‐inflammatory markers are noticeably better in treated wounds.

The exudation of ice from stems of plants [PDF]

Journal of the Franklin Institute, 1914
Abstract This paper deals with the formation of ice fringes upon the Dittany (Cunila mariana). The data presented are based upon experiments and observations in the field and in the laboratory. It was observed that the ice fringes are formed when the temperature falls to freezing point (o° C., 32° F.); but they are not a function of the hoar-frost ...

Skin‐Interfaced Therapeutic Patches for Wound Fluid Management and Transdermal Drug Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents an integrated skin‐interfaced device combining microfluidics, hydrogel film technology, flexible electronics, and iontophoresis‐based transdermal delivery of PDRN to enhance wound healing. The device effectively manages wound fluid, maintains optimal moisture, and non‐invasively delivers therapeutic drugs.

Root‐exuded benzoxazinoids can alleviate negative plant–soil feedbacks

New Phytologist, 2023
Summary Plants can suppress the growth of other plants by modifying soil properties. These negative plant–soil feedbacks are often species‐specific, suggesting that some plants possess resistance strategies. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown.
