Impact of Polyethylene-Glycol-Induced Water Potential on Methane Yield and Microbial Consortium Dynamics in the Anaerobic Degradation of Glucose [PDF]

Bioengineering
This study investigated the relationship between water potential (Ψ) and the cation-induced inhibition of methane production in anaerobic digesters. The Ψ around methanogens was manipulated using polyethylene glycol (PEG) in a batch anaerobic reactor ...

Optimisation of crop rotations: A case study for corn growing practices in forest-steppe of Ukraine [PDF]

Journal of Water and Land Development, 2023
The formation of optimal crop rotations is virtually unsolvable from the standpoint of the classical methodology of experimental research. Here, we deal with a mathematical model based on expert estimates of “predecessor-crop” pairs’ efficiency created ...

Acclimation of the Grapevine Vitis vinifera L. cv. Assyrtiko to Water Deficit: Coordination of Structural and Functional Leaf Traits and the Dynamic of Calcium Oxalate Crystals

Plants, 2023
Grapevine leaves contain abundant CaOx crystals located either within the mesophyll in the form of raphides, or in the bundle sheaths as druses. CaOx crystals function as internal carbon pools providing CO2 for a baseline level of photosynthesis, named ...

A Development-Associated Decrease in Osmotic Potential Contributes to Fruit Ripening Initiation in Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Fruit development and ripening are accompanied by a large increase in cellular soluble solid contents, which results in a significant decrease in osmotic potential (DOP).
