Site-specific factors influencing Hymenoscyphus fraxineus spore dispersal: the role of understorey vegetation and slope steepness in ash dieback spread

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca
Ash dieback (ADB), caused by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, is a severe threat to Fraxinus excelsior populations across Europe, with spore dispersal playing a critical role in disease progression. While broad-scale environmental drivers of spore dispersal are

UV Disinfection sensitivity index of spores or protozoa: A model to predict the required fluence of spores or protozoa

Water Science and Technology, 2022
During UV disinfection, the required UV dose in terms of fluence depends upon the species of bacteria spore and protozoa. To rank their UV disinfection sensitivity, spore sensitivity index (SPSI) and protozoan sensitivity index (PSI) are defined.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Amphiphilic Non‐Isocyanate Polyurethane Coatings With Tunable Antifouling and Fouling‐Release Performance: A Log‐Ratio Assessment Framework

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic non‐isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) coatings containing reactive hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and hydrophilic methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) prepolymers for marine antifouling (AF) and fouling‐release (FR) applications were investigated. The coatings were evaluated with a set of representative marine foulants.
