Succession and Catabolic Properties of Fungal Community During Composting of Fruit Waste at Sub-Tropical Environment

, 2021
Abstract A comprehensive profile of structural and functional dynamics of fungal community during fruit waste composting was investigated. For this purpose, fruit waste was composted in a windrow setup. Representative samples were collected at varied range of incubation temperatures during composting period and employed to physicochemical and ...

Integrative utilization of genomic resources for improved phylogenetic resolution in Sonerileae (Melastomataceae)

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Advances in new next‐generation sequencing (NGS) methods have revolutionized phylogenetics, yet challenges remain in effectively utilizing data from a wide range of sources. A well‐resolved and broadly sampled phylogeny for Sonerileae, the second‐largest tribe in Melastomataceae, is still lacking, hindering our understanding of its ...

Sustainable Palm Oil Extraction and Trends in the Use of Green Technologies: State‐of‐the‐Art and Future Directions

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Palm oil, which is extracted from the mesocarp of the fruit of the Elaeis guineensis Jacq. palm tree, is the most widely produced vegetable oil in the world. The extraction of this substance typically utilizes the conventional pressing method, a technique that is advantageous due to its low operating cost and simplified process.

Human Fibroblast‐Myeloid cell tissue atlas across lung, synovium, skin and heart

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background The availability of single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq data) in different tissues and disease states provides an opportunity to compare cellular subsets and identify common and unique cellular activation. In this study, we aimed to characterize shared and tissue‐specific myeloid and stromal phenotypes and to uncover key cellular subtypes ...

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.
