Straw application and soil organic carbon change: A meta-analysis

Soil and Water Research, 2021
Straw return is considered an effective way to improve the soil organic carbon (SOC) content of farmland. Most studies have suggested that a straw application increases the SOC content; however, some suggest that a straw application reduces the SOC ...

The Overlooked Biomechanical Role of the Clasping Leaf Sheath in Wheat Stalk Lodging

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The biomechanical role of the clasping leaf sheath in stalk lodging events has been historically understudied. Results from this study indicate that in some instances the leaf sheath plays an even larger role in reinforcing wheat against stalk lodging ...

Direct visualization of translational GTPase factor pool formed around the archaeal ribosomal P-stalk by high-speed AFM

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Translation of genetic information by the ribosome is a core biological process in all organisms. The ribosomal stalk is a multimeric ribosomal protein complex which plays an essential role in translation elongation.
