Mechanisms of improving coastal saline-alkali soil by periphyton [PDF]

, 2021
Periphyton plays an indispensable role in coastal saline-alkali land, but its function is poorly understood. Soil physical and chemical properties (pH value, salinity, soil organic matter), enzyme activity and microbial diversity (based on 16s rDNA, ITS and functional genes) were measured in periphyton formed on rice-growing coastal saline-alkali soil ...

Functionalizing Micro‐to‐Mesoscopic Electrode Architectures for Regulating Electron Transfer Behaviors in Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient

ROS homeostasis and cell wall biosynthesis pathway are involved in female inflorescence development of birch (Betula platyphylla)

BMC Plant Biology
Background Female inflorescence development from megasporogenesis to gametogenesis, and mature female gametophyte (FG), is a complex and important event in plant sexual reproduction. However, how this essential developmental process is regulated in birch

Mineral Deposition From Liquid Precursors Triggered by Complementary Polyelectrolytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Polyelectrolyte additives can delay or prevent crystal nucleation in supersaturated solutions of insoluble mineral salts such as calcium carbonate. This work reports that adding a second, oppositely‐charged polyelectrolyte leads to immediate mineral crystallization from such metastable solutions.

Construction, screening of a Ganoderma lucidum mutant library and identification of high-triterpenoid-yielding strains

Medicinal Plant Biology
Ganoderic acids are the primary bioactive constituents of the medicinal fungus Ganoderma lucidum. Commercial cultivars typically have low ganoderic triterpenoid contents, creating an urgent industry need for high-triterpenoid germplasm.

Physiological Adaptive Strategies of Oil Seed Crop Ricinus communis Early Seedlings (Cotyledon vs. True Leaf) Under Salt and Alkali Stresses: From the Growth, Photosynthesis and Chlorophyll Fluorescence

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Ricinus communis is an important energy crop and is considered as one of the most potential plants for salt-alkali soil improvement in Northeast China. Early seedling stage (such as the cotyledon expansion stage) is always a vulnerable stage but plays a ...

Flash Assembloids: A Rapid Biofabrication of a Platform for Modeling Early Glioblastoma Invasion at the Glioblastoma–Brain Organoid Interfaces

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a bioengineered assembloid (ASM) system combining glioblastoma (GBM) cells in oxidized alginate (OA) microgels with dorsal organoids (DOs). This model simulates brain tumor‐host interactions, revealing enhanced GBM invasion, altered gene expression, and aggressive infiltration patterns, demonstrating ASM as a valuable platform for ...
