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 ...

Comparative analysis of saturated–unsaturated shear strength under undrained loading: Experimental validation and ANN prediction of clayey soils

AIP Advances
Geotechnical designs and analyses of earth structures and foundations exclusively involve the assessment and consideration of unsaturated soil shear strength. The laboratory testing equipment and methods for predicting the unsaturated soil shear strength

The interplay between hydraulic capacitance and stomatal regulation strategy affects soil–plant hydraulics and transpiration

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plant water storage contributes to transpiration, but it is unclear how its relevance in supporting transpiration depends on the stringency of stomatal regulation. Here, we show the compounding effect of stomatal regulation and hydraulic capacitance on plant water use, by means of a soil–plant hydraulic model and measurements of leaf water ...

Autoactive MtDMI1 Reprogrammes Immunity and Development in Tomato via Ethylene Signalling

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Common Symbiosis Signalling Pathway (CSSP) underpins interactions between plants and microbes, yet its potential for crop improvement remains underexplored. Here, we investigated the gain‐of‐function mutant SPD1 (MtDMI1S760N), which constitutively activates the symbiotic signalling pathway in Medicago truncatula, by expressing it in tomato

The performance of unsaturated shear strength models of silt soils using the soil water characteristics curve

Results in Engineering
Various studies have investigated soils' unsaturated shear strength properties using the modified triaxial testing machine, which is costly, and time-intensive for standard geotechnical procedures.

Contextualized Metabolic Modelling Revealed Factors Affecting Isoflavone Accumulation in Soybean Seeds

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isoflavones, secondary metabolites with numerous health benefits, are predominantly found in legume seeds, especially soybean; however, their contents in domesticated soybean seeds are highly variable. Wild soybeans are known for higher seed isoflavone contents than cultivars. Here we used experimental and modelling approaches on wild soybean (

A pore network modeling approach to bridge void ratio‐dependent soil water retention and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curves

Engineering Reports
In geotechnical engineering, understanding the relationship between soil permeability and deformation is essential, particularly for applications like earth dams, where compaction‐induced permeability reduction is crucial for performance optimization. In

Polar Lipid and Fatty Acid Profiles of Oat Groats Substantially Influenced by Field Management: A Comparison of Cultivars, Sowing Times and Fertilizer Composition

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The polar lipids in oat grains are crucial due to their biological functions, nutritional quality, potential use in food flavour and processing, the protection they provide against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their ability to act as cellular signalling molecules.
