Treating Infected Non-Healing Venous Leg Ulcers with Medical-Grade Honey: A Prospective Case Series

Antibiotics
Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are hard-to-heal wounds and are prone to microbial colonization. Innovative and improved therapies are thus required to resolve local infection and enhance the wound healing process.

DNA barcoding of different Triticum species

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2019
Background The genus Triticum L. includes diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid species. DNA barcoding is a new method to identify plant taxa by using short sequences of DNA and within a short time.

An eco‐evolutionary optimality model explains the acclimated temperature response of photosynthesis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The optimal temperature of photosynthesis (Topt) generally increases with plant growth temperature. Changes in Topt are associated with changes in the maximum carboxylation capacity at 25°C (Vcmax25) and the maximum electron transport rate at 25°C (Jmax25). The ratio between Jmax25 and Vcmax25 declines with warming.

Compositions Nutrient and Antinutrients of Biscuits Prepared from Fermented and Unfermented Ternary Mixture Flours [PDF]

Journal of Food Quality and Hazards Control
Background: The exorbitant cost of wheat-based foods in non-wheat growing countries has necessitated looking for more enriched and sustainable alternative flour from botanicals that can be mixed and used to produce baked products including biscuits.

Root and microbial contributions to anoxic microsite formation in the rhizosphere: a microfluidic approach

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plant root‐associated anoxic microsites may influence the fate of nutrients and contaminants in the rhizosphere, but their dynamics remain relatively unknown. To examine the formation of root‐induced anoxic microsites over space and time, we use microfluidic devices integrated with transparent, planar oxygen sensors in a wheat (Triticum ...

Vernalization regulatory network identifies potential novel functions for genes in the HvVRN2 locus

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Flowering is controlled by environmental and genetic factors. Vernalization requirement in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is determined by the allele in HvVRN1 and the presence of locus HvVRN2, which consists of two zinc‐finger and CONSTANS‐like domains (ZCCT) genes: HvVRN2a and HvVRN2b.

Ecological drivers and phylogenetic patterns of leaf minimum conductance variability in vascular plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Stomatal closure prevents significant water losses during drought events. Yet, leaves are not perfectly hermetic and dehydration ensues through residual water losses, known as minimum conductance (gmin), which is highly relevant since it informs on the water depletion dynamics under stress.

Improved mesophyll–bundle sheath connectivity is achieved via different mechanisms in C2 vs C4 Alternanthera

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Leaf anatomy and biochemistry of C3, C2, and C4 plants. Summary Connectivity between mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) cells must improve during the evolution of C4 photosynthesis to facilitate large metabolite fluxes between these cell types, but the trait combinations that enhance M–BS connectivity and the points at which these enhancements occur ...
