As wheat (Triticum aestivum) is an important staple food across the world, preservation of stable yields and increased productivity are major objectives in breeding programs. Drought is a global concern because its adverse impact is expected to be amplified in the future due to the current climate change. Here, we analyzed the effects of edaphic, e...
To investigate the structural evolution of vanadate catalysts in the presence of SO2 and its influence on DeNO(x) behaviors, three typical vanadate catalysts (unsupported Mn2V2O7, Mn2V2O7/TiO2, and sulphated Mn2V2O7/TiO2) were designed for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3. The XRD, Raman, and S 2p XPS spectra and TG results confirme...

The plant hormone auxin, a master coordinator of development, regulates hypocotyl elongation during seedling growth. We previously identified the synthetic molecule RubNeddin 1 (RN1), which induces degradation of the AUXIN/INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID (AUX/IAA) transcriptional repressors INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID-INDUCIBLE3 (IAA3) and IAA7 in planta and strongl...
Interatomic potentials for the Mo-M (M = Al, Co, Cr, Fe, Ni, Ti) binary alloy systems have been newly developed based on the second nearest-neighbor modified embedded-atom method (2NN MEAM) formalism. The new interatomic potentials reproduce structural and thermodynamic properties of binary alloys reasonably well. They can be utilized to generate i...
The formidable rise of lead‐halide perovskite photovoltaics has energized the search for lead‐free perovskite‐inspired materials (PIMs) with related optoelectronic properties but free from toxicity limitations. The photovoltaic performance of PIMs closely depends on their defect tolerance. However, a comprehensive experimental characterization of t...
Water salinity is a major driver of aquatic insects' distribution. Saline species are usually generalists with high survival and performance at both low and high salinity levels. Yet, costs of high salinity may be underestimated as these are most often measured in terms of larval life history traits, while effects of larval stressors may only be de...
Biofilms are an important medical burden, notably for patients with orthopaedic device-related infections. When polymicrobial, these infections are more lethal and recalcitrant. Inter-kingdom biofilm infections are poorly understood and challenging to treat. Here, an in vitro three-species model including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and...
BACKGROUND: Presence of inhibitory chemicals in lignocellulose hydrolysates is a major hurdle for production of second-generation bioethanol. Especially cheaper pre-treatment methods that ensure an economical viable production process generate high levels of these inhibitory chemicals. The effect of several of these inhibitors has been extensively ...
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) play a key role in the detoxification of phytochemicals in arthropod herbivores. We present here an overview of recent progress in understanding the breadth and specificity of gene expression plasticity of P450s in response to phytochemicals. We discuss experimental setups and new findings in mechanisms of P45...
