Plant Metabolomics: An Indispensable System Biology Tool for Plant Science

As genomes of many plant species have been sequenced, demand for functional genomics has dramatically accelerated the improvement of other omics including metabolomics. Despite a large amount of metabolites still remaining to be identified,...

Plant Sciences

Plant sciences means to reflect the scientific study of plants, their environment, and how to use them. Preparing an overview of plant sciences during a pandemic necessarily changes one's perspective of the field, past and present. Growing ...

Vitamin Deficiencies in Humans: Can Plant Science Help?

The term vitamin describes a small group of organic compounds that are absolutely required in the human diet. Although for the most part, dependency criteria are met in developed countries through balanced diets, this is not the case for th...

Comparative Effects of Hydropriming and Iron Priming on Germination and Seedling Morphophysiological Attributes of Stay-Green Wheat

Intradiol ring cleavage dioxygenases from herbivorous spider mites as a new detoxification enzyme family in animals

Abstract Background Generalist herbivores such as the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae thrive on a wide variety of plants and can rapidly adapt to novel hosts. What traits enable polyphagous herbivores to cope with the diversity ...

The Effect of In Vitro Digestion on Polyphenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Properties of Sorghum (<i>Sorghum bicolor</i> (L.) Moench) and Sorghum-Enriched Pasta

The phenol content of sorghum is a unique feature among all cereal grains; hence this fact merits the special attention of scientists. It should be remembered that before polyphenols can be used in the body, they are modified within the dig...

Based on the experimental test results of the authors, this investigation is concerned with the finite element analysis to examine and compare the load values and failure modes of the authors’ results. This research was conducted using the ...

WATER QUALITY INDEX AS AN TOOL FOR RIVER ASSESSMENT IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS IN THE PAMPEAN PLAINS OF ARGENTINA

The contributions of nutrients and xenobiotics by anthropogenic activities developed in riverside deteriorate water quality. In this context, the impact of different agroindustry effluents on the water quality of Salado River in Buenos Aire...

Fluid Mud and Nautical Bottom – Concept and Application in Itajaí Port Complex (Brazil)

Considering the demand for mooring larger ships at Brazilian port terminals, both private and public, in a scenario of growing exports, engineering interventions that can provide improvements in the vessel’s maximum allowed dimensions can r...

Third-order harmonic currents suppression method based on selective component compensation for cascaded H-bridge STATCOM under asymmetric grid

To achieve low cost and compactness, small dc capacitance in dc-link is preferred in the cascaded H-bridge (CHB) static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). However, small dc capacitance will definitely result in high dc-link ripples among th...

Ignition and Combustion Characteristics of Heavy Oil in Supercritical Hydrothermal Conditions

At present, the characteristics of supercritical hydrothermal combustion for heavy oils remain unclear, which severely limits the application of this process. In this work, the effect of key parameters on the characteristics of supercritica...

Hybrid Fuel Cell—Supercritical CO₂ Brayton Cycle for CO₂ Sequestration-Ready Combined Heat and Power

The low prices and its relatively low carbon intensity of natural gas have encouraged the coal replacement with natural gas power generation. Such a replacement reduces greenhouse gases and other emissions. To address the significant energy...
