Thermoplastic Phenomena and Morphological Changes upon Fast Pyrolysis of Biomass and Model Compounds
The work reports preliminary results on the morphological changes that biomass particles experience at high heating rates in a heated strip reactor (HSR) at T = 1000–1600 °C under an inert atmosphere.

The effect of plant weight on estimations of stalk lodging resistance
Background Stalk lodging (breaking of agricultural plant stalks prior to harvest) is a multi-billion dollar a year problem. Stalk lodging occurs when bending moments induced by a combination of external loading (e.g. wind) and self-loading (e.g.

Expression of the C-terminal family 22 carbohydratebinding module of xylanase 10B of Clostridium themocellum in tobacco plant [PDF]
Carbohydrate-binding modules have been shown to alter plant cell wall structural architecture. Hence, they have the potential application of being used to engineer the plant to produce tailor-made natural fibers in the cell wall.

Stem cells and plant regeneration
Multicellular organisms show the ability to replace damage cells, tissues and even whole organs through regeneration mechanisms. Plants show a remarkable regenerative potential. While the basic principles of plant regeneration have been known for a number of decades, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying such principles are currently ...

Research Progress on Chemical Constituents and Biological Activities of Stems and Leaves of Potato
Potato stems and leaves are plant resources of high additional value. Potato stems and leaves contain not only some nutritional ingredients, such as protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, but also some active ingredient, such as phenolic compounds ...

Predator-Prey Interaction between Largemouth Bass and Bluegills as Influenced by Simulated, Submersed Vegetation [PDF]
Data from the literature suggest that predatory success declines as habitat complexity increases. To explain this phenomenon, we studied the predator-prey interaction between largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and bluegills Lepomis macrochirus in four

Characteristics of C-4 photosynthesis in stems and petioles of C-3 flowering plants [PDF]
Most plants are known as C-3 plants because the first product of photosynthetic CO2 fixation is a three-carbon compound. C-4 plants, which use an alternative pathway in which the first product is a four-carbon compound, have evolved independently many ...

This unique and attractive open access textbook combines the beauty of macroscopic pictures of plant stems with the corresponding colorfully stained images of anatomical micro-structures. In contrast to most botanical textbooks, it presents all the stem characteristics as photographs and shows the microscopic reality. The amount of text is reduced to a

Stem Cells and Regeneration in Plants [PDF]
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Plants are characterized by indeterminate post-embryonic development that is evident, for example, in the continuous branching of shoots and roots. High competence to regenerate tissues is another consequence of such intrinsic developmental plasticity in plants.
