Abstract Introduction Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of petroleum‐derived compounds known for causing cellular damage and for their recalcitrant behavior, severely limit effective biodegradation. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from oil‐contaminated environments can mitigate PAH‐related stress on host plants, highlighting the ...

Spherulite in the modern aragonitic travertine stromatolite has a calcite core with exopolymers
ABSTRACT Spherulites are spherical to ellipsoidal particles formed by various crystalline substances and can be abiotically synthesised in the laboratory. Among various spherulite types, spherulites composed of calcium carbonate are also found in various natural environments, but their abiotic or biotic origins are still controversial.

ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

ABSTRACT Understanding the processes that drive soil formation is crucial for developing sustainable land‐use strategies, as changing land‐use practices and climate change exacerbate soil erosion. The formation of substantial arable soils on carbonate bedrock requires substantial dust accretion as the underlying bedrock lacks siliciclastic material. In

Abstract Bed rest accelerates bone loss and may exacerbate skeletal fragility. This study examined the effects of 14 days of head‐down tilt bed rest (HDBR) with or without exercise, and subsequent recovery, on bone turnover, density and structure in older adults. Twenty‐two healthy older adults (55–65 years) completed the HDBR protocol.

Carbon quantum dots (AL‐CQDs) synthesised from Anacamptis laxiflora were characterised by HR‐TEM, FT‐IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy and evaluated for their effects on the mycorrhizal fungus Ceratobasidium sp. (AL5). AL‐CQDs significantly influenced fungal growth and hyphal morphology, highlighting their potential in plant–fungus interaction studies ...

Paper‐Templated Porous Piezoceramics
ABSTRACT Targeted porosity design enables deliberate modification of piezoceramics to enhance selected functional properties. Here, we introduce a simple, efficient processing route for porous piezoceramics based on organic paper templating and demonstrate it for Ba(Zr,Ti)O3–(Ba,Ca)TiO3 (BZT–BCT).

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...
