RATIONALE: Cassava production faces challenges in a changing climate. Pulse labelling cassava with 13 C-CO2 has the potential to elucidate carbon allocation mechanisms of cassava under drought stress and with potassium application. Understanding these mechanisms could guide efforts to mitigate effects of drought in cassava cropping systems. METHODS...
The cytosolic carboxypeptidase 6 (CCP6) catalyzes the deglutamylation of polyglutamate side chains, a post-translational modification that affects proteins such as tubulins or nucleosome assembly proteins. CCP6 is involved in several cell processes, such as spermatogenesis, antiviral activity, embryonic development, and pathologies like renal adeno...

Accurate, robust, and wide-coverage analytical tools are needed in polyphenol research to deal with the high physicochemical complexity of the secondary plant metabolome. In this chapter, a novel method based on reversed-phase ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a diode array detector and mass spectrometry is presented, which e...
The results of a rigorous study of the two first pure rotational transitions of CO perturbed by Ar are presented. The experimental part is based on the use of three different spectrometers covering together the pressure range from 0.02 up to 1500 torr. The measurement results of collisional line shape parameters are supported by fully ab initio cal...
Photosystem I and II (PSI and PSII) work together to convert solar energy into chemical energy. Whilst a lot of research has been done to unravel variability of PSII fluorescence in response to biotic and abiotic factors, the contribution of PSI to in vivo fluorescence measurements has often been neglected or considered to be constant. Furthermore,...
Main conclusion: Micro-analytical techniques to untangle Se distribution and chemical speciation in plants coupled with molecular biology analysis enable the deciphering of metabolic pathways responsible for Se tolerance and accumulation. Abstract: Selenium (Se) is not essential for plants and is toxic at high concentrations. However, Se hyperaccum...
With the onset of climate change it is crucial to eliminate emissions, particularly for aviation reliant on gas turbine combustion. Computational models aid combustor improvement, but experimental data needed for validation is difficult to obtain. Fortunately, laser diagnostics can now achieve non-intrusive, high-resolution combustion measurements,...

Carbon nitride (CNx ) is a light-absorber with excellent performance in photocatalytic suspension systems, but the activity of CNx photoelectrodes has remained low. Here, cyanamide-functionalized CNx (NCN CNx ) was co-deposited with ITO nanoparticles on a 1.8 Å thick alumina-coated FTO electrode. Transient absorption spectroscopy and impedance meas...

Nanomaterials are marvelously small, yet they may be harnessed to great effect. Much has been learned with respect to the biological interactions and effects of nanomaterials during the past decade. However, characterization of nanomaterials is typically performed on as-synthesized materials. We posit that nanomaterials are dynamic entities and sho...
