Root lodging is a physical stress that changes gene expression from sucrose accumulation to degradation in sorghum

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is used as a raw material for biofuels because it accumulates sugars at high levels in the stem. Lodging of sorghum occurs when the soil is wet and very high winds blow across the field.

Sugar Transport in Neurospora crassa

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1970
Abstract The transport of several sugars by cells of Neurospora crassa grown in shake culture has been investigated. 3-O-Methyl-d-glucose is a substrate for the glucose transport system in glucose-grown cells but cannot be phosphorylated by the ATP-dependent hexokinase which readily catalyzes the phosphorylation of d-glucose.

Cellulose Surface Modification Effects on Equilibrium and Non‐Equilibrium Wetting by Water

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Molecular dynamics simulations of nanometer‐sized water droplets spreading on cellulose substrates show strong effects from surface chemistry on both equilibrium contact angles and spreading dynamics. ABSTRACT Chemical modification is an important route to tuning interactions between nanocellulose and its surrounding media. Specifically, it affects the

Scalable Fabrication of Chemically Stabilized Gelatin Hydrogel Fibers by Thermal Drawing

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Scalable processing of hydrogel fibers remains a major challenge. By coupling thermal drawing with Maillard chemistry, a transient viscous‐flow window is created that enables continuous fabrication of microstructured gelatin fibers tens of meters long, while continued in situ crosslinking during drawing stabilizes the fibers for physiological ...

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.

A Critical Review on the Evolution of Chitosan‐Based Injectable Hydrogels in Bone Regeneration

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The graphical illustration depicts hydrogel formulation using chitosan and biocompatible cross‐linkers, major advantages, and incorporation of cells, osteoinductive factors, and therapeutic drugs. Following injection, pH‐responsive gelation enables controlled drug release, promotes cell recruitment and osteogenic differentiation, enhances extracellular
