Passive and active interactions with nature reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Populations that experience increased stress often have fewer interactions with nature due to many factors. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has created a new stressor for all populations due to sickness, isolation, financial burdens, or other factors. Universit...

Research in science and medicine is witnessing a massive increases in literature concerning extracellular vesicles (EVs). From a morphological point of view, EVs include extracellular vesicles of a micro and nano sizes. However, this simplistic classification does not consider both the source of EVs, including the cells and the species from which E...

If you look up during a storm or when it is foggy, you may see little rivers flowing down the tree branches above your head. These are called branchflows, and they play an important part in moving water along trees and through forests. For scientists who study water, branchflows are really weird! They do not flow on top of something, like rivers th...

A growing body of evidence suggests that Raman spectroscopy (RS) can be used for diagnostics of plant biotic and abiotic stresses. RS can be also utilized for identification of plant species and their varieties, as well as assessment of the nutritional content and commercial values of seeds. The power of RS in such cases to a large extent depends o...

Hungry for a little plant diversity? Let us mix some up! First, we gather available ingredients—a bit of soil, a few nutrients, and a selection of nearby plants. Then, we add them together, pour them onto a landscape and let our concoction sit. Sound easy enough? But wait… was that soil we used too acidic? Did we add enough liquid? Was our landscap...

Based on an analysis of the current situation of nitrogen fertiliser application, it is suggested that improving the nitrogen utilisation efficiency of crops is an important means of promoting the sustainable development of agriculture and realises the zero increase in chemical fertiliser application. Nitrate loss and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions ...

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a form of genetic conflict over sex determination that results from differences in modes of inheritance between genomic compartments.1, 2, 3 Indeed, maternally transmitted (usually mitochondrial) genes sometimes enhance their transmission by suppressing the male function in a hermaphroditic organism to the detrim...

It is necessary to apply modern approaches to prevent the spread/toxic effects of pollution caused by a changing climate; especially metal pollutants to the soil. Thus, the present investigation was aimed to examine chemical speciation of soil samples collected from the River floodplain and its effects on native plant species; Phragmites australis....

Hyaluronic acid (Hy) is a natural linear polymer that is widely distributed in different organisms, especially in the articular cartilage and the synovial fluid. During tissue injury due to oxidative stress, Hy plays an important protective role. All the beneficial properties of Hy make the polymer attractive for many biomedical uses; however, the ...
