Repurposing a Small Molecule Plant Hormone as a Tunable ON‐Switch for CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By engineering a receptor system integrating the plant auxin receptor AFB1 with its co‐receptor IAA7, we enable ligand‐dependent interactions triggered by the plant hormone auxins. This design allows rapid, reversible, and dose‐dependent T cell activation, resulting in potent cytotoxicity against B‐cell lymphoma in vitro and in vivo.

Biochar‐based fertilizers improve nutrient use efficiency in sunflower grown on a subtropical tidal soil

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Improving fertilizer use efficiency is essential for reducing environmental pollution, sustaining agricultural production, and maximizing the economic profitability of crop production systems. This study tested the hypothesis that the formulation strategy of biochar‐based fertilizers, rather than nutrient addition alone, is associated with ...

Switchable Dual Emission of Luminescent Metal–Organic Framework@Nanoparticle Composites of EuBDC and ZrO‐Containing Hybrid Materials

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Luminescent metal–organic framework@nanoparticle composites show dual emission of both components EuBDC and zirconyl‐containing nanoparticles, being reversible, excitation energy‐dependent and solvatochromic switches. The chromaticity changes are fast, as no chemical transformation is involved and required as source of the dual emission.

Substrate Drench Applications of Flurprimidol and Paclobutrazol Influence Growth of Swamp Sunflower

HortTechnology, 2019
Swamp sunflower (Helianthus simulans) is an underused perennial plant native to the southeastern United States that produces an abundance of golden yellow inflorescences in the fall. It is a vigorous grower and tolerates a wide variety of soil conditions,

Drought Risk in Mango and Avocado Orchards: Insights Into Plant Water Relations and Irrigation‐Related Agronomic Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Wheat Wild Relatives and Modern Cultivars Differ for Salt Resistance in Terms of Morpho‐Physiological Traits

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Wheat wild relatives are untapped genetic resources from salinity and drought hit areas. This study presents differential comparative morphophysiological responses of these species and modern wheat cultivars under saline conditions. Salt resistant species produce more shoot and root biomass under saline conditions through salt exclusion and/or tissue ...

Effect of different light‐emitting diodes on vegetative cannabis growth and antioxidant activity

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cannabis stands as one of the world's oldest plant sources for food and textile fiber. The study aimed to assess the impact of white LED (blue; 446 nm + amber; 595 nm + red; 653 nm), wide PC amber (595 nm), narrow amber (595 nm) + royal blue (430 nm) (NA + RB), and narrow amber (595 nm) + royal blue (430 nm) + cyan blue (485 nm) (NA

Use of a Chlorophyll Meter for Nondestructive and Rapid Estimation of Leaf Tissue Nitrogen in Macadamia

HortTechnology, 2019
Nitrogen (N) management in macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) orchards is an important concern for growers. Leaf tissue analysis is the accepted method for determining N status in macadamia; however, this process is expensive and time-consuming.

Moderate Biochar–Compost Mixture Is More Effective in Improving Biomass, Nutrient Fluxes, and Photosynthetic Outputs for Sustainable Land Restoration and Soil Fertility

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient depletion severely constrains crop productivity in degraded and saline environments. Strategies such as biochar–compost integration could be useful for sustainable agriculture and land restoration on a global scale. This study evaluated the effects of biochar (1% Bc), compost (1% Co), and their blends (0.5% Bc + 0.5% Co and 1% Bc
