Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Temperature and water stress during conditioning and incubation phase affecting Orobanche crenata seed germination and radicle growth

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Orobanche crenata is a holoparasitic plant that is potentially devastating to crop yield of legume species. Soil temperature and humidity are known to affect seed germination, however, the extent of their influence on germination and radicle growth of ...

ATP‐Mediated Bidirectional Communication Between Natural and Artificial Cells for Controlled Bioreactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Establishment of bidirectional communication behavior between natural and artificial cells. The first type of communication from natural dendritic cells to artificial polymeric cells was achieved via ATP release after cell lysis. The released ATP was taken up via gated UV‐controlled permeability increase of the polymeric membrane for performing ...

Degradation of Benthiocarb in Soils as Affected by Soil Conditions

Journal of Pesticide Science, 1977
ベンゼン環を14Cで標識したベンチオカーブを用い, 室内実験により, 土壌中の分解に関与する土壌要因の影響について研究した. 性質の異なる3種類の土壌を, 畑地状態, 酸化的湛水および還元的湛水状態とし, その中でのベンチオカーブの分解を比較すると, 土壌間ではあまり差は認められず, 土壌の酸化還元状態が分解に大きく影響した. いずれの土壌でも, 酸化的 (好気的) 条件ではベンチオカーブは速かに分解し, 同時に14CO2が顕著に生成した. 還元的 (嫌気的) 条件では分解が遅く, 14C2の生成も少なかった. また, 滅菌土壌中ではベンチオカーブの分解はほとんど認められなかった.

Desert Plant Inspired Hierarchical Nanofibrous Membranes for Integrated Solar Desalination and Heavy Metal Remediation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An Alhagi maurorum inspired hierarchical composite membrane (NFCu) was developed by integrating heavy metal remediation and solar‐driven interfacial evaporation in a single platform. Beyond the photothermal effect, a localized photocatalytic process is realized on the CuO surface, deepening the mechanistic understanding of light–matter–water ...
