... Zero-waste biochar is an emerging tool for carbon neutralization, but the role of biochar in reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions from CWs were controversy and uncertainty. Yet, no previous study has integrated multiple research systems to quantitatively examine biochar-mediated GHGs emission reduction potential in CWs. Here we synthesized 114 studies to quantify biochar-induced declines abi ...
... Planting uniformity is a key evaluation index for planters. This paper investigated the effect of rotational speed, the angle of the rake bar chain, and the number of billets on the planting uniformity of a seed-metering device in the laboratory. The experimental results showed that the optimal planting uniformity can be achieved under a rake bar chain angle of 117°, a number of billets of 500, an ...
... 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:
... Ten monoterpenoids, including new seritramentol A (1), were isolated from Seriphidium transiliense (Poljakov) Poljakov. Compounds 2, 3, 6, and 7 were isolated from this plant as new natural compounds that were previously synthesized. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by analyzing HR-ESI-MS, UV, IR, and 1D and 2D NMR spectra and calculating ECD spectra. Their absolute configurations w ...

Abstract:
... Nano-enabled agriculture is now receiving increasing attentions. Among the used nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials are good candidates for sustainable agriculture. Previous review papers about the role of carbon-based nanomaterials in agriculture are either focused on one type of carbon-based nanomaterial or lack systematic discussion of the potential wide applications in agriculture. In th ...

Abstract:
... Plant-associated microbiota are becoming central in the development of ways to improve plant productivity and health. However, most research has focussed mainly on a few model plant species. It is essential to translate discoveries to the many nonmodel crops, allowing the design and application of effective synthetic microbiota. ...

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:
... The decline of monarch butterflies in both the eastern and western United States has garnered widespread public interest. Planting milkweeds, their larval host plants, has been promoted as one action individuals can take, but little is known with respect to potential pesticide contamination of store-bought milkweeds. In this study, we collected leaf samples from 235 milkweed plants purchased at 33 ...

Abstract:
... The vast sums of money being spent on planting trees have the potential to transform landscapes and slow global warming but will accomplish little if trees do not survive and grow. We discuss ten key questions to decide which of the numerous tree-growing projects are most likely to succeed. ...

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:
... 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:
... A total of twenty-one taxa of Cactaceae, including hybrids, are newly recognised or reevaluated for the area defined for the Cacti of Eastern Brazil, some being described for the first time. Other taxonomic changes are noted together with various range extensions and many of the plants concerned are illustrated. ...

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:
... 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 ...
