Plasticity in Meristem Allocation as an Adaptive Strategy of a Desert Shrub under Contrasting Environments

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The pattern of resource allocation to reproduction vs. vegetative growth is a core component of a plant’s life-history strategy. Plants can modify their biomass allocation patterns to adapt to contrasting environments.

Allocation to clonal and sexual reproduction and its plasticity in Vallisneria spinulosa along a water‐depth gradient

Ecosphere, 2018
Variations in water level profoundly affect functional stability of freshwater ecosystems, as well as macrophyte growth and reproduction. Although the trade‐off between allocation to clonal and sexual reproduction in clonal plants can be influenced by a ...

Genetic Dissection of Stem Branch Trait and Envisioning of Fixing Heterosis by Vegetative Reproduction in Oryza rufipogon

Agronomy, 2022
The stem branch trait of the stolon enables the common wild rice to produce new individuals through vegetative reproduction habit. In order to understand the genetic mechanism of stem branch character, we developed introgression lines (ILs) with the ...

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Living Liquid Metal Composites Embedded with Electrogenic Endospores for Next‐Generation Bioelectronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A new class of living liquid metal composites is introduced, embedding Bacillus subtilis endospores into eutectic gallium–indium (EGaIn). The spores enhance droplet coalescence, strengthen interfacial conductivity, and provide on‐demand electrogenic functionality after germination. The composites exhibit high conductivity, self‐healing, patternability,
