Electronic Nanomaterials for Plants: A Review on Current Advances and Future Prospects
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Global food security faces mounting challenges from climate change and rapid population growth. This review highlights the pivotal role of electronic nanomaterials–including metals, metal oxides, and carbon‐based structures–in enhancing plant photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience. Furthermore, it explores how emerging platforms such as

Meta‐analysis of management effects on biodiversity in plantation and secondary forests of Japan
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView., 2019 Conservation of temperate forest biodiversity has historically focused on natural old‐growth. Less than 3% of the world's temperate forests remain unmodified by humans, however, and much of temperate‐forest biodiversity is held in the predominating planted and secondary forests.

arXiv, 2014 In experimental laboratory studies we evaluate a possibility of making electrical wires from living plants. In scoping experiments we use lettuce seedlings as a prototype model of a plant wire. We approximate an electrical potential transfer function by applying direct current voltage to the lettuce seedlings and recording output voltage.

Advancements in Maize Cultivation: Synergistic Effects of Dry Atmospheric Plasma Combined with Plasma-Activated Water [PDF]
Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 2024In this study, we investigate the effects of pre-germinative and post-germinative plasma treatments, applied separately or in combination, to improve maize germination and early seedling development. Pre-germinative treatment consists of priming the seeds with a dry atmospheric plasma (DAP) generated by a dielectric barrier device (DBD), characterized ...

Conifer Seedling Detection in UAV-Imagery with RGB-Depth Information [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Monitoring of reforestation is currently being considerably streamlined through the use of drones and image recognition algorithms, which have already proven to be effective on colour imagery. In addition to colour imagery, elevation data is often also available.

A Public Image Database for Benchmark of Plant Seedling Classification Algorithms [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 A database of images of approximately 960 unique plants belonging to 12 species at several growth stages is made publicly available. It comprises annotated RGB images with a physical resolution of roughly 10 pixels per mm. To standardise the evaluation of classification results obtained with the database, a benchmark based on $f_{1}$ scores is proposed.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Background Plant responses to deficiencies of the micronutrient boron are diverse and go beyond the well‐characterized function of boron in cell wall crosslinking. To explain these phenotypic discrepancies, hypotheses about interactions of boron with various phytohormones have been proposed, particularly auxin.

Role of seeding in the generation of polarization squeezed light by atomic Kerr medium [PDF]
Phys. Rev A. 110, 023704 (2024)Quantum state production and characterization are fundamental elements for many quantum technological applications. In this work, we studied the generation of polarization quantum states by interacting light with a Kerr medium and the dependency of the outcome on orthogonal polarization seedlings.

Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.
