Graphene Oxide Accelerates Corn Stover Degradation by Promoting Colony Growth, Cellulase Activity, and Lignin Peroxidase Activity of Trichoderma harzianum

Agriculture
China produces abundant corn stover annually, and direct incorporation into farmland offers a cost-effective route. However, this practice suffers from slow decomposition, poor seedling growth, high disease incidence, and limited carbon sequestration. In

Seagrasses produce most of the soil blue carbon in three Maldivian islands

Frontiers in Marine Science
Blue carbon is fast garnering international interest for its disproportionate contribution to global carbon stocks. However, our understanding of the size of these blue carbon stocks, as well as the provenance of carbon that is stored within them, is ...

Influences of Plant Traits on Immune Responses of Specialist and Generalist Herbivores

Insects, 2012
Specialist and generalist insect herbivore species often differ in how they respond to host plant traits, particularly defensive traits, and these responses can include weakened or strengthened immune responses to pathogens and parasites.
