Saline Water Irrigation Changed the Stability of Soil Aggregates and Crop Yields in a Winter Wheat–Summer Maize Rotation System

Agronomy
Irrigation using saline water is extensively used in areas of agricultural production where freshwater is scarce. However, saline water irrigation adversely impacts soil’s physicochemical characteristics and crop productivity.

Fiber‐Spinning‐Chemistry Method toward In Situ Generation of Highly Stable Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals

Advanced Science, 2019
All‐inorganic halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have drawn increasing attention owing to their splendid optical properties. However, such nanomaterials suffer from intrinsic instability, greatly limiting their practical application.

Preparation and Properties of Gelatin Fibers Fabricated by Dry Spinning

Fibers, 2016
Gelatin fibers have been prepared by dry spinning based on the sol-gel transition phenomena of aqueous gelatin solutions. This method is simple and environmentally friendly because only water is used for the spinning, thereby avoiding the use of any ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Micro-sprinkler irrigation with optimal irrigation regimes maintain grain yields while increasing carbon emission efficiency and water productivity of winter wheat on the North China Plain

Agricultural Water Management
Water scarcity on the North China Plain (NCP) threatens winter wheat growth and yields, necessitating water-saving irrigation. Farmland carbon emissions are significant agricultural greenhouse-gas sources, and irrigation can modify field CO2 fluxes ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Effect of Delayed Irrigation at the Jointing Stage on Nitrogen, Silicon Nutrition and Grain Yield of Winter Wheat in the North China Plain

Plants
Water scarcity is a key limitation to winter wheat production in the North China Plain, and it is essential to explore the optimal timing of spring irrigation to optimize N and Si uptake as well as to safeguard yields.

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...
