This study investigates industrial‐scale granular biochar (GB) as cathode material to produce in situ abiotic H2, which could be utilized within CO2‐reducing bioelectrochemical systems to produce value‐added products. GB from beechwood pyrolyzed at 740 °C shows lowest hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) overpotential; however, heterogeneous ...

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana
ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana, many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.

Nitrate leaching from arable crop rotations in organic farming [PDF]
The crop rotation is a crucial and integral part of organic farming systems. It must be designed to maintain and exploit soil fertility, and to minimise the impacts on environment, e.g. through nitrate leaching.
