The effect of squash domestication on a belowground tritrophic interaction

Plant-Environment Interactions, 2022
The domestication of plants has commonly resulted in the loss of plant defense metabolites, with important consequences for the plants' interactions with herbivores and their natural enemies.

The systemic pathology of cerebral malaria in African children

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
Pediatric cerebral malaria carries a high mortality rate in sub-Saharan Africa. We present our systematic analysis of the descriptive and quantitative histopathology of all organs sampled from a series of 103 autopsies performed between 1996 and 2010 in

A unified approach to dissecting biphasic responses in cell signaling

eLife, 2023
Biphasic responses are encountered at all levels in biological systems. At the cellular level, biphasic dose-responses are widely encountered in cell signaling and post-translational modification systems and represent safeguards against overactivation or

Leukocyte sequestration in pulmonary microvessels and lung injury following systemic complement activation in rabbits [PDF]

, 1999
Inflammatory reactions are associated with sequestration of leukocytes in the lung. Complement activation leads to accumulation of leukocytes in alveolar septa and alveoli, to lung edema and hemorrhage.

Natural Carbon Sequestration in the Commonwealth [PDF]

, 2022
The Virginia General Assembly created the Carbon Sequestration Task Force in 2021 to examine the feasibility and potential to increase carbon sequestration in the Commonwealth. Specifically, the Task Force must (i) consider possible methods of increasing

Amount and bioavailability of dissolved organic carbon leached from decomposing bamboo wood organs under manganese addition in a subtropical moso bamboo forest

BMC Plant Biology
Manganese (Mn) is regarded as a crucial factor regulating wood litter decay and property change. However, the effect of Mn on wood litter-leached dissolved organic carbon (DOC) characteristics during decomposition remains unexplored in forests.

Quantitative contribution of dissolution-driven precipitation to Pb(II) removal by biochars during adsorption process

Scientific Reports
Biochar (BC) has been widely used for the lead (Pb(II)) immobilization in soil remediation. However, the mechanisms of dissolution-driven removal of Pb(II) by BC are still poorly understood.

Greenhouse gas emissions under conservation agriculture: a synthesis of field observations on integrating conservation tillage and cover crops

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science
Conservation agriculture (CA), which combines conservation tillage and cover crops (CC), has gained increasing attention for its potential to improve soil health and mitigate climate change. Yet, there is limited research on its effects on greenhouse gas

Inhibited vertical mobility of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter under low-intensity rainfall: role of mineral retention

Biochar
Biochar has great potential in the application areas of carbon sequestration and environmental remediation. A significant amount of dissolved organic matter (DOM) may be released from biochar, which is highly reactive and mobile.
