Advanced Science, EarlyView.By employing a combination of single cell and spatial transcriptomic sequencing, this study presents a stereoscopic response of rice leaf to Magnaporthe oryzae infection. The vascular tissues mount defenses by producing phytoalexins. The immune strength is stronger toward the rice leaf tip than that of the leaf base.

The in vitro assessment of the bioavailability of iron in New Zealand beef : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Physiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand / [PDF]
, 2003 The bioavailability of iron in New Zealand beef either alone or as part of a 'typical' New Zealand meal was investigated. The solubility of iron and its in vitro absorption by mouse intestinal tissue were used to evaluate iron bioavailability.

Nature, 1941 Drs. Booth, Mapson and Moore1 feel that in a recent article in Nature2 I exaggerated when I made “an allusion, divorced from its context, to cooked cabbage as having only 17 per cent of the vitamin C of the fresh cabbage”. What I wrote was as follows. “A cabbage bought at the market may perhaps be expected to contain 60 per cent of its original vitamin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Iron‐based nanocomposites are widely used for trace heavy metal removal, but the low utilization of HFO nanoparticles remains a challenge. Here, a metal‐phenolic network (MPN) strategy is proposed to confine nano‐HFO within polystyrene beads, creating a negative electrostatic field and optimizing electron density at oxygen sites. This approach enhances
