Transparent, Sprayable Plastic Films for Luminescent Down‐Shifted‐Assisted Plant Growth

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
Spreading the light: A modular approach to down‐shifting europium‐containing polyoxotitanium luminescent cages is developed, allowing their incorporation into sprayable plastic coatings on agricultural greenhouses for accelerated plant growth. Abstract The world's steadily growing population and global heating due to climate change are a threat to food

The ecological fitness of the tomato potato psyllid after transferring from non-crop host plants to tomato and potato.

PLoS ONE, 2022
An insect's fitness varies on different host plant species, and can be affected by previous host feeding experience. In New Zealand, Bactericera cockerelli (the tomato potato psyllid (TPP)) overwinter on various host species, and later migrate to ...

Microwave‐Assisted One‐Pot Synthesis of Alkyl Levulinates From Post‐Harvest Vegetable Waste

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Vegetable waste is valorized through Soxhlet extraction using H₂O₂ and heteropolyacid (HPA), followed by material characterization (XRD, FTIR, TGA, DSC). A microwave‐assisted reaction at 170 °C for 30 min with HPA and alcohol yields bio‐based esters.

Application of a Dynamic Semitransparent Agrivoltaic Panel for Controlling Sunlight Allocation to Solar Cells and Crops

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Effects of dynamic agrivoltaic semitransparency controls on cucumber seedling growth are assessed for this study using a micro‐cell photovoltaic panel. Seedling growth with 9:30–14:30 agrivoltaic shading is comparable to that without shading. The dynamic shading regulates the electrical energy and crop production allocation.

An Antagonism Between Ethylene Signaling and DNA Methylation Orchestrates the Progression of Leaf Senescence in Non‐heading Chinese Cabbage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CMT2 mediates the maintenance of DNA methylation on the promoters of SAGs, thereby inhibiting EIN3A untimely activating SAGs’ expression. Aging‐impelled striking upregulation of EIN3A strongly suppresses the expression of CMT2 to reduce the methylation level, which releases the activation of EIN3A on SAGs, thus initiating and accelerating the ...
