Advanced Science, EarlyView.The continental‐scale study reveals that soil phosphorus strongly predicts the richness of soil pathogenic oomycetes in Chinese grasslands, while precipitation and plant species richness drive their absolute abundance; modeling predicts ≈42% of grassland areas may face elevated oomycete disease risk under future climate scenarios, especially in typical

Coherent spore dispersion via drop-leaf interactions [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The dispersion of plant pathogens, such as rust spores, is responsible for more than 20% of global yield loss annually, and poses a significant threat to human health. However, the release mechanics of pathogens from flexible plant surfaces into the canopy is not well understood.

Microbial Biosensor for Sensing and Treatment of Intestinal Inflammation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The engineered calprotectin biosensor detects gut inflammation, processes the signal through genetic regulation, and responds by expressing the reporter sfGFP and the therapeutic protein secIL10. This dual functionality enables the engineered biosensor not only to sense but also to mitigate gut inflammation, highlighting its potential for disease ...

A precise relationship among Buller's drop, ballistospore and gill morphology enables maximal packing of spores within gilled mushrooms [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Basidiomycete fungi eject spores using a surface tension catapult; a fluid drop forms at the base of each spore and after reaching a critical size, coalesces with the spore and launches it from the gill surface. Although basidiomycetes function within ecosystems as both devastating pathogens and mutualists critical to plant growth, an incomplete ...

Electronic Nanomaterials for Plants: A Review on Current Advances and Future Prospects
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Global food security faces mounting challenges from climate change and rapid population growth. This review highlights the pivotal role of electronic nanomaterials–including metals, metal oxides, and carbon‐based structures–in enhancing plant photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience. Furthermore, it explores how emerging platforms such as

Summoning the wind: Hydrodynamic cooperation of forcibly ejected fungal spores [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 The forcibly launched spores of the crop pathogen \emph{Sclerotinia sclerotiorum} must eject through many centimeters of nearly still air to reach the flowers of the plants that the fungus infects. Because of their microscopic size, individually ejected spores are quickly brought to rest by drag.

A new genus, Desertispora, and a new species, Diversispora sabulosa, in the family Diversisporaceae (order Diversisporales, subphylum Glomeromycotina) [PDF]
, 2018 Phylogenetic analyses of sequences of the SSU-ITS-LSU nrDNA segment and the RPB1 gene showed that the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus originally described as Diversispora omaniana does not belong to the genus Diversispora, but represents a separate clade ...

Multi‐Module Micro/Nanorobots for Biomedical and Environmental Remediation Applications
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Multi‐module microrobots (MNRs) have overcome the limitations of single‐module systems by integrating components such as propeller, actuator, manipulator, and imaging modalities. They show promise in biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and tissue repair, as well as in environmental remediation, including pollutant removal.
