Transcriptome Inference and Systematic Approaches to Investigate TCM Compounds With Beneficial Metabolic Effects

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compounds can improve obesity by increasing energy consumption. This study aimed to identify and verify TCM compounds that promote adipose thermogenesis to alleviate obesity via transcriptomic analysis, molecular docking, network pharmacology, and ...

Assessing the spatial-temporal performance of machine learning in predicting grapevine water status from Landsat 8 imagery via block-out and date-out cross-validation

Agricultural Water Management
Grapevine production worldwide is adversely impacted by climate change, including limited water availability, low-quality or sudden excess of water, and more frequent, severe, and prolonged heatwaves.

Effect of foliar nitrogen and sulphur application on aromatic expression of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Sauvignon blanc

OENO One, 2008
Aims: It is well known that vine nitrogen deficiency can negatively impact on aroma in white wines. Soil nitrogen fertilization enhances aroma expression, but it also increases vine vigour and susceptibility to grey rot.

Social Sustainability in Circular Bioeconomy Business Models: Insights From Argentina

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on circular bioeconomy business models (CBEBM) has largely prioritised environmental and economic aspects, leaving out the social pillar. To address this gap, this paper analyses to what extent and in what ways social sustainability is integrated into CBEBM, based on 12 cases from northern Argentina, a region with high potential for ...

Leaf and stem water potential as vine water status indicators, in Tempranillo grapevine, under different water regimes in the Duero valley

OENO One, 2004
<p style="text-align: justify;">Attempts have been made to determine the water status of vineyards using different methods, with variable results according to the different authors. Therefore, various methods have been used to estimate soil humidity (TDR, tensiometer, neutron probe, etc.) and the water status of the plant (dendrometer, porometer,

Vine Tendril‐Inspired Cold‐Programmable Shape‐Memory Polymer Composites Using Sugar Beet Pulp

Small, EarlyView.
Vine tendrils inspire a bio‐derived, cold‐programmable shape‐memory polymer composite (SMPC). Magnetically guided sugar beet pulp creates mesoscale heterogeneity within a glassy matrix, producing built‐in mechanical asymmetry for rapid, solvent‐free programming by simple stretching.

Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus

Yeast, EarlyView.
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.
