Studies on the Germination and Emergence of Castor Seedlings
SeedsCastor (Ricinus communis) is an oilseed usually cultivated in tropical and semi-arid conditions. The slow and uneven germination of castor seed is causing poor crop establishment and reduced seed yield. This series of studies investigated several factors

Effect of storage time and type of packaging on seed quality of tall fescue [PDF]
Journal on Processing and Energy in Agriculture, 2012 After harvesting, the seed dormancy of grasses occurs. During the maturing period, seed dormancy is slowly reduced, and seed germination reaches the maximum values of use. Germination decreases during longer storage.

Endozoochory by lowland tapirs improves seed germinability and accelerates germination time of native plant species in an Amazon-Cerrado transition restoration area [PDF]
Acta AmazonicaEndozoochory by lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) is regarded as a key seed dispersal mechanism in tropical forests and thus potentially useful for ecological restoration. Although previous studies attested the germination ability of seeds defecated by

The Effect of Priming on Germination and Enzyme Activity of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Seeds After Accelerated Aging [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013 Maximum germination percentage achieves immediately after harvesting and gradually de#creases with storage time. Aging is one of the key factors in plant yield loss especially in vegetables.

AI–Guided 4D Printing of Carnivorous Plants–Inspired Microneedles for Accelerated Wound Healing
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work presents an artificial intelligence (AI)‐guided 4D‐printed microneedle platform inspired by carnivorous plants for wound healing. A thermo‐responsive shape memory polymer enables body temperature–triggered self‐coiling for autonomous wound closure.

Thiolated Polymers in 3D Bioprinting: Control of Gelation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Thiolated polymers are established as programmable bioinks for 3D bioprinting, integrating versatile crosslinking chemistries with redox‐responsive control. This work demonstrates how molecular design and external triggers define gelation kinetics, printability windows, and structural fidelity, enabling stable, high‐resolution constructs and advancing ...
