The cooperative effect of Lewis and Brønsted acid sites on Sn-MCM-41 catalysts for the conversion of 1,3-dihydroxyacetone to ethyl lactate [PDF]
Lactic acid and alkyl lactates are widely applied in the production of food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, organic synthesis and biodegradable polymers.

Significance Statement Life on Earth depends on photosynthetic CO2 fixation via the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle to form organic carbon. This process evolved first in cyanobacteria and was later conveyed to eukaryotes, giving rise to plastids in algae and plants. To cope with low atmospheric CO2 concentrations that developed over the course of evolution,

PERSPECTIVE: organelle positioning as a principle of metabolic regulation and stress tolerance
SUMMARY Plants have evolved elaborate acclimation strategies to withstand adverse environments, involving all levels of their function and organization. While macroscopic movements through differential growth that enable the physical re‐shaping and ‐positioning of organs have been a major field of study, the highly active dynamics of cell organelles ...

Fossil fuel reserves are rapidly depleting, while global energy demands continue to rise, prompting researchers to seek sustainable alternatives. Among these, biofuels, particularly biodiesel, stand out as a biocompatible and friendly option. However, biodiesel production via transesterification generates large quantities of glycerol (GOL) as a by ...

Converting Glycerol into Valuable Trioses by Cu^{δ+}-Single-Atom-Decorated WO_{3} under Visible Light [PDF]
Photocatalytic selective oxidation under visible light presents a promising approach for the sustainable transformation of biomass-derived wastes. However, achieving both high conversion and excellent selectivity poses a significant challenge.

Invasive plants optimize leaf nitrogen allocation in photosynthesis
Summary Invasive plants often outcompete co‐occurring native species by expressing acquisitive functional traits that promote high photosynthetic capacity. However, it remains unclear whether these traits are newly evolved in the introduced (‘away’) range or if invaders arrived preadapted with superior traits from their native (‘home’) range.

Acrolein and Certain of its Derivatives [PDF]
In connection with a theory as to the mechanism of alcoholic fermentation, certain of the unknown trioses were desired in order that their properties might be studied. These compounds which were of particular interest were: [Formula.

How Plants May Maintain Protein Homeostasis Under Rising Atmospheric CO2
ABSTRACT Vascular plants may employ several physiological mechanisms to stabilize their protein contents as atmospheric CO2 concentrations change over a day, year, decade, or century. One mechanism is that plants may rely more on soil ammonium as their nitrogen source when CO2 increases.

ABSTRACT Early‐season chilling limits sorghum establishment in temperate environments, yet the metabolic basis of this sensitivity remains poorly understood. We combined temporal spectral reflectance with untargeted metabolomics to characterize species and genotype‐level responses to early planting conditions.

A novel catalyst design for the conversion of mono- and disaccharides to lactic acid and its alkyl esters was developed. The design uses a mesoporous silica, here represented by MCM-41, which is filled with a polyaromatic to graphite-like carbon network.
