The response of root traits to precipitation change of herbaceous species in temperate steppes

Functional Ecology, 2019
Plasticity of root traits plays an important role in plant growth and survival under changing climate. Shift in precipitation is one of the most pertinent global change factors driving changes in structure and function of grasslands. However, few studies

Toward a Consensus Characterization Protocol for Organic Thermoelectrics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We advocate a common consensus on accurate and standardized reporting of performance metrics in the field of organic thermoelectrics. We summarize prevalent issues in the literature and propose a pre‐submission checklist to support the publication of reproducible results.

Nonmulberry Silk Fibroin Doping Boosts Charge Transfer and Charge Injection in Aligned Polypyrrole‐Silk Scaffolds for Low‐Voltage Neurostimulation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Conductive silk‐polypyrrole scaffolds couple redox stability with cell‐affinitive peptides present innately in an endogenous silk fibroin, enabling optimized electrical stimulation to drive neurite outgrowth. Findings establish electrochemical‐biological link for biomaterial design rules for smart nerve guidance conduits that can provide low voltage ...

Mycorrhizal associations and root morphology shape mechanical performance in woody plants from cold regions

Scientific Reports
Root mechanical traits, including load for failure in tension (Fr), tensile strength (Tr), tensile strain (εr), modulus of elasticity (Er), and tensile toughness (Wr), are critical for plant anchorage and soil stability.

Mitochondria‐Specific Protein Delivery by Protease‐Triggered Release in Plants with Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Polymer‐coated carbon nanotubes were engineered as protease‐responsive nanocarriers for protein delivery in intact plants. GFP cargo can be released by cytosolic phytaspase cleavage and subsequently targeted to mitochondria via an N‐terminal sequence, enabling controlled intracellular protein delivery without tissue damage and demonstrating stable ...

Root traits at global scale: factors influencing the distribution of root traits globally<br /> 

, 2016
Fine roots are responsible for most nutrient and water acquisition in plants and drivers of belowground ecological processes such as soil carbon accrual, soil microbial dynamics and soil respiration. Attributes such as specific root length (SRL), diameter, root tissue density (RTD) and root nitrogen content (RNC) have been reported as key traits ...
