Establishment of transient and stable gene transformation systems in medicinal woody plant Acanthopanax senticosus

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background Transient and stable gene transformation systems play a crucial role in elucidating gene functions and driving genetic improvement in plants. However, their application in medicinal woody plants has been hampered by inefficient procedures for ...

The Effect of Litter Addition on Soil Organic Carbon Fractions with Intensified Grassland Degradation

Agronomy
Litter decomposition plays a critical role in the formation and turnover of soil organic carbon (SOC) and its fractions. However, the effects of litter on SOC dynamics across grassland degradation remain poorly understood.

Artificial perches promote vegetation restoration

Plant Ecology, 2016
Native ecosystems are continuously being transformed mostly into agricultural lands. Simultaneously, a large proportion of fields are abandoned after some years of use. Without any intervention, altered landscapes usually show a slow reversion to native ecosystems, or to novel ecosystems.

Alternating Shear Force of Respiration Regulates Cell Interactions of Fibroblasts and Macrophages to Promote Soft Tissue Integration of Chest Wall Polyetheretherketone Implants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Given that PEEK chest wall implants induce shear force at the soft tissue‐implant interface due to respiratory motion in the early in vivo post‐implantation stage. We confirmed that this mechanical stimulus triggers the PIEZO1/ITGB1/YAP1 signalling axis in L929 and the STAT6/p‐STAT6 pathway in RAW264.7, which in turn mediates adhesion and migration of ...

Indicators of vegetation development in restored wetlands

Ecological Indicators, 2018
Abstract Significant wetland losses across the globe have motivated large-scale restoration efforts to improve the quality of wetland habitats. However, previous studies have shown a high variability in the outcomes of restoration treatments. Post-restoration monitoring is critical to identifying factors constraining wetland recovery and diverting ...

Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

Ecological restoration in Hamilton City, North Island, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2004
Hamilton City (New Zealand) has less than 20 hectares of high-quality, indigenous species dominated ecosystems, and only 1.6% of the original indigenous vegetation remains within the ecological district.

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...
