Sustainable Biocomposites from Biofuel Co-Product and Biodegradable Plastic: Effect of Pyrolysis and Compatibilizer on Performance

open access: yesComposites Part C: Open Access, 2022
Distillers’ dried grains with soluble (DDGS), a by-product of the corn ethanol industry, has been shown to be useful as a filler in biocomposites. Work was done comparing the impacts of heat treatment (torrefaction, at 300°C) of DDGS and inclusion of ...

The Induction of the Isoflavone Biosynthesis Pathway Is Associated with Resistance to Common Bacterial Blight in Phaseolus vulgaris L.

open access: yesMetabolites, 2021
Xanthomonas axonopodis infects common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) causing the disease common bacterial blight (CBB). The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular and metabolic mechanisms underlying CBB resistance in P. vulgaris.

Plant nyctinasty – who will decode the ‘Rosetta Stone’? [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2019
SummaryNyctinasty is the circadian rhythmic nastic movement of leguminous plants in response to the onset of darkness, a unique and intriguing phenomenon that has attracted attention for centuries. The movement itself is caused by the asymmetric volume change of motor cells between the adaxial and abaxial sides of the leaflet.

Mid-Season Leaf Glutamine Predicts End-Season Maize Grain Yield and Nitrogen Content in Response to Nitrogen Fertilization under Field Conditions

open access: yesAgronomy, 2017
After uptake in cereal crops, nitrogen (N) is rapidly assimilated into glutamine (Gln) and other amino acids for transport to sinks. Therefore Gln has potential as an improved indicator of soil N availability compared to plant N demand. Gln has primarily

Biocarbon from peanut hulls and their green composites with biobased poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
There are millions of tons of post-food processing residues discarded annually. Currently, these waste materials are discarded to landfill, used as animal feed or incinerated. This suggests that there are potential uses for these materials in value-added

Biocomposites from poly (butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate) biodegradable plastic and hop natural fiber: Studies on the effect of compatibilizer on performance of the composites

open access: yesComposites Part C: Open Access, 2023
The overall performance of natural fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites is mostly correlated to the fiber-plastic adhesion. Herein, the interfacial adhesion of hop natural fiber (Humulus lupulus) and poly (butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate ...

Cover Crops Modulate the Response of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi to Water Supply: A Field Study in Corn

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Cover crops (CCs) were found to improve soil health by increasing plant diversity and ground cover. They may also improve water supply for cash crops by reducing evaporation and increasing soil water storage capacity.
