How habitable are M-dwarf Exoplanets? Modeling surface conditions and exploring the role of melanins in the survival of Aspergillus niger spores under exoplanet-like radiation [PDF]
Exoplanet habitability remains a challenging field due to the large distances separating Earth from other stars. Using insights from biology and astrophysics, we studied the habitability of M-dwarf exoplanets by modeling their surface temperature and flare UV and X-ray doses using the Martian atmosphere as a shielding model.

iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 The pioneering plant Pueraria phaseoloides had a strong modulation effect on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities. Irrespective of geographical location, community composition of AMF in rhizosphere soil differed from that of the root. Co‐occurrence network analysis revealed two AMF keystone species in rhizosphere soil (Acaulospora) and roots (

Optogenetic control of transgene expression in Marchantia polymorpha
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The model liverwort Marchantia polymorpha is an emerging testbed species for plant metabolic engineering but lacks well‐characterized inducible promoters, which are necessary to minimize biochemical and physiological disruption when over‐accumulating target products.

Metabolite profiling of human‐originated Lachnospiraceae at the strain level
iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 The human‐originated Lachnospiraceae biobank included 77 species was constructed. In vitro metabolite profiling of 110 Lachnospiraceae strains yielded 242 metabolites of 17 categories. Many Lachnospiraceae strains produce short‐chain fatty acids, and Agathobacter rectalis strain Lach‐101 and Coprococcus comes strain NSJ‐173 are the top two butyric acid

A comprehensive illustrated protocol for clearing, mounting, and imaging leaf venation networks
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Leaf venation network architecture can provide insights into plant evolution, ecology, and physiology. Venation networks are typically assessed through histological methods, but existing protocols provide limited guidance on processing large or challenging leaves.

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Pteridophytes—vascular land plants that disperse by spores—are a powerful system for studying plant evolution, particularly with respect to the impact of abiotic factors on evolutionary trajectories through deep time. However, our ability to use pteridophytes to investigate such questions—or to capitalize on the ecological and ...

Modeling the effects of cymene on the distribution of germination and growth of Beauveria bassiana [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 Essential oils have antifungal and antipathogenic effects and therefore are targets in plant pathology research for their potential uses as natural substitutes for inorganic plant pesticides. Beauveria bassiana, an entomopathogenic fungus, can endophytically colonize a vast number of plant species and trigger induced systemic resistance against plant ...
