Reprogramming of Gene Transcripts and Metabolites by the Wild Soybean Endophyte Pseudomonas sp. 77S3 Improves Soybean Salt Tolerance

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soybean is a critical source of protein and vegetable oil worldwide. Expanding its cultivation into salinity lands represents a promising strategy for increasing production; however, soil salinity severely limits soybean growth by disrupting physiological and metabolic homeostasis.

Effect of Wetting-Drying Cycles on Mechanical Behaviour and Electrical Resistivity of Unsaturated Subgrade Soil

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019
Compacted soil is widely used in road and railway subgrade, while alternation of seasons can cause fluctuations in moisture content of soil (i.e., wetting-drying cycles) and influence the performance of soil.

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

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

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.

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.
