Sunflower as a ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ reservoir and crop-associated planthopper vectors (Cixiidae) sustain stolbur diseases in agroecosystems

Frontiers in Plant Science
Understanding plant-vector-pathogen interactions is essential for explaining the persistence of stolbur diseases associated with the plant pathogenic bacterium ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ (CaPsol) in agroecosystems.

Putative Transcriptional Regulation of HaWRKY33-AOA251SVV7 Complex-Mediated Sunflower Head Rot by Transcriptomics and Proteomics

Plants
HaWRKY33 is induced by salicylic acid and participates in the disease resistance signaling pathway of sunflower rust disease; however, the transcriptional regulatory mechanism of this protein against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in sunflowers remains unclear.

Dynamics of germination stimulants dehydrocostus lactone and costunolide in the root exudates and extracts of sunflower

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022
Orobanche cumana Wallr. (Orobanche cernua Loefl.) causes severe yield losses of confectionary sunflower in China. While germination of O. cumana is stimulated by sesquiterpene lactones (STLs) from host sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).

Double Helix Structure for Stable Flexural Actuation in Soft Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a double‐helical architecture for soft robotic actuators that enhances twisting resistance, increases output force, and minimizes undesired deformation. Actuators driven by shape‐memory alloy wires exhibit a roughly fivefold higher torsional/flexural stiffness ratio and 50% greater force output.

Minute‐Scale Repeated Metabolic Probing of Living Cells Enabled by Rapid Parahydrogen‐Based Hyperpolarization

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Rapid parahydrogen hyperpolarization combined with simple dilution enables biocompatible delivery of hyperpolarized pyruvate to immobilized living cells within ≈1 min. Repeated substrate injections reveal frequency‐dependent metabolic dynamics, introducing a new temporal dimension for hyperpolarized NMR studies of cellular metabolism and enabling rapid

Pracaxi Oil as a Potential Inhibitor of Fat Bloom

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fat bloom is one of the major technological challenges faced by the chocolate industry, caused by the polymorphic transition from β2(V) to β1(VI) crystals in cocoa butter (CB). One strategy to slow down this polymorphic transition is the addition of lipids rich in very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), such as behenic acid.
