Studies of the availability of soil phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in organic farming systems, and of plant adaptations to low P- and K-availability [PDF]
, 2003 In organic farming systems, the purchase of nutrients is firmly restricted as compared to conventional farming systems. This will often cause a negative nutrient budget on the field level, especially in cases with low animal density, where more nutrients

Components of phenotypic variance and heritability of early vigour traits of bread wheat under contrasting water regimes [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade)Exploring drought-tolerance potential and phenotypic plasticity at early stages of development in root system architecture could be crucial in regard to breeding for drought resistance and for selecting wheat ideotypes under climate change conditions.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Sweetosomes, a new class of fucose‐decorated liposomes, are developed via a one‐step microfluidic process without surface chemistry. This study elucidates their main caveolae‐mediated entry and distinct endosomal trafficking. These nanostructures demonstrate superior endosomal escape, organelle acidity modulation, and prolonged plasma persistence ...

Roots and Compost, - organic crop production under reduced nutrient availability [PDF]
With plans to phase out manure import from conventional farms, it will become increasingly difficult to secure plant nutrients for organic crops. In the RoCo project we will address this problem through three approaches: 1) study variation in root growth

QTLs for the elongation of axile and lateral roots of maize in response to low water potential [PDF]
, 2018 Changes in root architecture and the maintenance of root growth in drying soil are key traits for the adaptation of maize (Zea mays L.) to drought environments.

Rice root architectural plasticity traits and genetic regions for adaptability to variable cultivation and stress conditions [PDF]
, 2016 Future rice (Oryza sativa) crops will likely experience a range of growth conditions, and root architectural plasticity will be an important characteristic to confer adaptability across variable environments.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study shows that stem‐like cells isolated from breast cancer brain metastases drive the spread and growth of tumors in the brain. Among them, a highly adhesive subgroup initiates metastasis and resists many drugs. By closely reflecting patient tumors, these models help identify new targets and improve the development of effective treatments ...

Effects of multiple agroecological interventions on crop nutrient acquisition and performance
Frontiers in Sustainable Food SystemsWith the growing focus on agroecological interventions in crop production, more studies are required to understand the combined effects of multiple strategies on soil and plant health. In this study, we adopted a functional-trait approach to evaluate the

Variation in root traits and phenotypic plasticity between native and introduced populations of the invasive plant Chromolaena odorata [PDF]
NeoBiotaUnderstanding intraspecific trait variations, particularly for invasive species that occupy large geographic areas with different resource conditions, can enhance our understanding of plant responses to changes in environmental resources.
