Crossability Relations of Domesticated Peas (Pisum sativum and Pisum abyssinicum) With Wild Pisum fulvum and Drought Response Assessment of P. sativum × P. fulvum Progenies

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The productivity and quality of grain crops in semiarid environments is often affected by drought, which is likely to accentuate due to predicted climate changes. Wild pea (Pisum fulvum Sibth. & Smith) accessions are known to harbour useful allelic diversity for drought responses.

Entropy Generation Minimization for Energy-Efficient Desalination [PDF]

, 2018
Desalination systems can be conceptualized as power cycles, in which the useful work output is the work of separation of fresh water from saline water. In this framing, thermodynamic analysis provides powerful tools for raising energy efficiency.

Potassium Deficiency and Hormone Signalling in Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Potassium (K or K⁺) is a vital macronutrient that influences numerous physiological processes related to plant physiology and development. Recently, there is a growing focus on enhancing K+‐use efficiency (KUE) to ensure optimal plant growth, especially in K+ deficient soils.

Fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis for irrigation of tomatoes [PDF]

, 2015
Fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis is a low-energy desalination concept particularly developed for the irrigation use of desalinated water. It has an advantage of not requiring regeneration of the draw solution (DS), thus, it can be used directly for the ...

Inactivation Strategies of Clostridium perfringens in Foods: Current Challenges and Emerging Interventions

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Clostridium perfringens forms heat‐resistant spores that complicate food safety. Physical methods (thermal processing, HPP, vacuum cooling, ozone treatments) and chemical interventions (natural antimicrobials, phosphates, nitrate/nitrite, organic acids) reduce vegetative cells and spores, though spore resistance remains a major challenge in food and ...

An ALS‐associated mutation in the C‐terminal α‐helix of TDP‐43 uncouples condensate formation and amyloid assembly

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract TAR DNA‐binding protein 43 (TDP‐43) plays a critical role in RNA metabolism and is incorporated into biomolecular condensates called stress granules. In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and several other neurodegenerative disorders, TDP‐43 undergoes aberrant phase transitions, forming insoluble amyloid aggregates, including fibrils composed
