... Plants can acquire increased freezing tolerance through cold-acclimation involving the ICE1-CBF-COR pathway. Recently, Lee et al. investigated a potential link between the functional activation of CBF and cellular redox state. We propose that redox-mediated CBF activation could be a hub of low temperature as well as light signaling in the cold-acclimation process. ...

Abstract:
... The vast amount of occurrence records currently available offers increasing opportunities for biodiversity data analyses. This amount of data poses new challenges for the reliability and correct interpretation of the results. Indeed, to safely deal with occurrence records, their uncertainty and associated biases should be taken into account. We developed an R package to explicitly include spatial ...

Abstract:
... Phytomelatonin is an emerging new plant hormone. The identification of phytomelatonin receptor 1 (PMTR1) has been a turning point for understanding phytomelatonin functions, but many uncertainties remain. Here we highlight how PMTR1-mediated phytomelatonin signaling closes stomata, not just to avoid water loss but also to prevent bacterial invasion at night. ...

Abstract:
... For a large hydropower plant (HPP) with long-distance tunnels, a surge tank needs to be installed to ensure the safety of the HPP during hydraulic transients (i.e., load changes in hydro-turbines). The head losses of the surge tank and its throttle are necessary conditions and evidence of the hydraulic design and one-dimensional (1D) simulation of the HPP. This study is conducted to investigate th ...

Abstract:
... Plants rely on PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI) to detect invading pathogens and subsequently activate defense mechanisms. Recently, four Nature papers (Yuan et al., Ngou et al., Pruitt et al., and Tian et al.)demonstrated that important components in PTI and ETI are required for both PTI and ETI, and PTI and ETI potentiate each other to achieve stronger plant de ...

Abstract:
... The classical theory of safety–efficiency trade‐off is a common theme in plant sciences. Despite safety and efficiency partly compensating for each other physiologically (namely, there is a compensation effect, CE, among traits from the “whole” organism perspective), they are always mathematically described as a trade‐off against one another. However, the compensation effect has never been defined ...

Abstract:
... Sugarcane, Saccharum spp. L., is an important commercial crop for its white crystal sugar and biofuel. High production of sugarcane depends on planting high-yielding variety and quality seed cane. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted with the objectives of evaluating the effect of the time gap between seed cane cutting to the planting of sugarcane varieties on growth parameters and yield of ...

Abstract:
... The ability to predict future risks is essential for many organisms, including plants. Plants can gather information about potential future herbivory by detecting volatiles that are emitted by herbivore‐attacked neighbors. Several individual volatiles have been identified as active danger cues. Recent work has also shown that plants may integrate multiple volatiles into their defense responses. He ...

Abstract:
... Safe and stable operation of hydropower plants is the basis and prerequisite of great importance for clean energy production and integration of renewables. To better analyze the operating stability of hydropower generating systems (HGSs), a novel frequency-domain method (global matrix method) is proposed in this paper. First, the principle of the new method and the mathematical models of each comm ...

Abstract:
... Sugarcane planting is an important and growing activity in Brazil. Thereupon, several techniques have been developed over the years to maximize crop productivity and profit, amongst them, processing of sugarcane field images. In this sense, this research aims to identify and analyze crop rows and measure their gaps from aerial images of sugarcane fields. For this, a small Remotely Piloted Aircraft ...

Abstract:
... Interaction between plants and their microbiota is a central theme to understand adaptation of plants to their environment. Considering herbaria as repositories of holobionts that preserved traces of ancient plant-associated microbial communities, we propose to explore these historical collections to evaluate the impact of long-lasting global changes on plant–microbiota interactions. ...

Abstract:
... MAIN CONCLUSION: Peptide-receptor complexes activate distinct downstream regulatory networks to mediate plant adaptions to abiotic environmental stress. Plants are constantly exposed to various adverse environmental factors; thus they must adjust their growth accordingly. Plants recruit small secretory peptides to adapt to these detrimental environments. These small peptides, which are perceived b ...

Abstract:
... As soon as fired iron ore pellets suffer their first breakage event, fragments are created. During handling from the pelletizing plant to the steelmaker furnace, several stages of handling occur, so that if a well-formed and nearly spherical pellet breaks early in the handling chain, its fragments may also end up undergoing breakage. This is particularly important if one wishes to predict breakage ...

Abstract:
... Motor intention/intentionality has been investigated from a wide variety of perspectives: some researchers have, for example, been focusing on the purely physical and mechanical aspects underlying the control of action, while others have been concentrating on subjective intentionality. Basically, all approaches ranging from the neuroscientific to phenomenological-inspired ones have been used to in ...

Abstract:
... In recent decades, atmospheric emissions from industrial enterprises have been reduced in many countries, which makes it possible to analyze the patterns of ecosystem recovery. The review provides an annotated list of studies of natural recovery (i.e., without involving any reclamation measures) of terrestrial ecosystems near industrial plants that have ceased or significantly reduced their emissi ...

Still, fewer are capable of simulating the effect of green infrastructure (GI) on the airborne nanoparticles represented by total particle number concentration (ToNC). We developed an integrated approach capable of simulating the dispersion of airborne nanoparticles under the var ...
