Plant Robotics for Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Robots: Insights from Actuation Characteristics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Plants are promising materials for building sustainable and eco‐friendly robots due to their inherent multifunctionality, with actuation playing a crucial role. This article focuses on the physical movements of plants and, from the perspective of actuation characteristics, explores representative plant species and their behaviors, the current state of ...

Toward Sustainable Pesticide Application: Bridging Efficacy and Food Safety

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A fully bio‐based lignin coacervate system is developed for pesticide delivery, enhancing leaf retention, UV resistance, adhesion, and wetting. The formulation enables pH/laccase‐triggered release for prolonged action, reduces ecological toxicity, and is fully washable, reconciling agricultural efficacy with food and environmental safety.

Impact of Salinity on Sugar Composition and Partitioning in Relation to Flower Fertility in Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum chilense

open access: yesHorticulturae
Salinity negatively affects flower production and fertility in tomato but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. One hypothesis is that salinity affects sugar partitioning by reducing photosynthesis, which in turn affects source–sink ...

Evolution of a plant gene cluster in Solanaceae and emergence of metabolic diversity

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Plants produce phylogenetically and spatially restricted, as well as structurally diverse specialized metabolites via multistep metabolic pathways. Hallmarks of specialized metabolic evolution include enzymatic promiscuity and recruitment of primary ...

Morphological characterization of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)

open access: yes, 2021
Tomato (Solanum esculentum L.) is the second most consumed vegetable of the world after potato and is used in various ways like for fresh market, processing, and also forms an integral part of protected cultivation as the crop is self-pollinated and have indeterminate forms. The variability present in the population is crucial for utilizing them in the

Bidirectionally Thermochromic Nanocolloid System for on‐Demand Optical Switching and Agricultural Energy Management

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A bidirectionally thermochromic nanocolloid system is developed for facility agriculture. The bidirectional and wide‐temperature response dynamically modulates light radiation, stabilizing the indoor climate, improving supplemental lighting efficiency, and accelerating plant photosynthesis.

Development of a locus-specific, co-dominant SCAR marker for assisted-selection of the Sw-5 (Tospovirus resistance) gene cluster in a wide range of tomato accessions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The best levels of broad-spectrum Tospovirus resistance reported in tomatoes thus far are conferred by the Sw-5 locus. This locus contains at least five paralogues (denoted Sw-5a through Sw-5e), of which Sw-5b represents the actual resistance gene.

Expanded application to plant reproductive tissues of a branched DNA probe‐based in situ hybridization method

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Detecting clear tissue‐ and organ‐specific patterns of gene expression is key to understanding the genetic mechanisms that control plant development. In situ hybridization (ISH) of mRNA is one of the most precise, yet most challenging approaches to gene expression assays.
