Can Glacial Sea‐Level Drop‐Induced Gas Hydrate Dissociation Cause Submarine Landslides?

Abstract We conducted two‐dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the mechanisms underlying the strong spatiotemporal correlation observed between submarine landslides and gas hydrate dissociation due to glacial sea‐level drops. Ou...

A Review on Modeling Environmental Loading Effects and Their Contributions to Nonlinear Variations of Global Navigation Satellite System Coordinate Time Series

Nonlinear variations in the coordinate time series of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) reference stations are strongly correlated with surface displacements caused by environmental loading effects, including atmospheric, hydrologic...

Environmental and Engineering Geophysics

Geophysical imaging methods provide solutions to a wide range of environmental and engineering problems: protection of soil and groundwater from contamination; disposal of chemical and nuclear waste; geotechnical site testing; landslide and...

Application of the Reuterin System as Food Preservative or Health-Promoting Agent: A Critical Review

The reuterin system is a complex multi-component antimicrobial system produced by Limosilactobacillus reuteri by metabolizing glycerol. The system mainly includes 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA, reuterin), 3-HPA dimer, 3-HPA hydrate, acrol...

Treatment of cauliflower seeds with product based on bacillus subtilis aiming plant seedling production, development and productivity.

The relation between seed vigor and field performance is not yet fully understood, and it is questionable whether these effects extend to more advanced phenological stages and if they affect crop production. In front of that, the objective ...

First report of Cladobotryum verticillatum (Ascomycota, Hypocreaceae) causing cobweb disease on Paxillus involutus

Paxillus, a type of ectomycorrhizal fungi distributed widely in the world, is also an essential category for researching bioactive substances and pharmacological functions. We discovered fruitbodies of Paxillus involutus covered in a layer ...

DNA barcoding and phylogenetic insights into the selected endemic flora of the Western Himalayas

Abstract The Himalayan region is recognized as one of the world’s major biodiversity hotspots due to its remarkable altitudinal variation, high species richness, and exceptional endemism. Despite its ecological significance, the endemic flo...

Siderophore-Mediated Interactions Determine the Disease Suppressiveness of Microbial Consortia

ABSTRACT Interactions between plant pathogens and root-associated microbes play an important role in determining disease outcomes. While several studies have suggested that steering these interactions may improve plant health, such approach...

Interactions between Weeds, Pathogen Symptoms and Winter Rapeseed Stand Structure

Rapeseed, weeds, and pathogens interact with each other. However, these interactions are not well understood. The aim of our work was to describe the relationships between weed vegetation and pathogen manifestations in rapeseed stands. Resu...

<i>Escherichia coli</i> Optoelectronic Sensors for In Situ Monitoring of Selected Materials Across Water Supply Systems

Chemical monitoring of pollutants and hazardous materials in water supply systems traditionally depends on centralized laboratories, advanced instrumentation, and trained personnel, limiting accessibility and preventing real-time, on-site a...

SCC3 is an axial element essential for homologous chromosome pairing and synapsis

Cohesin is a multi-subunit protein that plays a pivotal role in holding sister chromatids together during cell division. Sister chromatid cohesion 3 (SCC3), constituents of cohesin complex, is highly conserved from yeast to mammals. Since t...

Xylan Is Critical for Proper Bundling and Alignment of Cellulose Microfibrils in Plant Secondary Cell Walls

Plant biomass represents an abundant and increasingly important natural resource and it mainly consists of a number of cell types that have undergone extensive secondary cell wall (SCW) formation. These cell types are abundant in the stems ...

Elucidating the functions of fabF1 and fabF2 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: implications for fatty acid metabolism and pathogenicity

Abstract Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for severe infections in immunocompromised individuals, including burn patients and those with cystic fibrosis. β-Ketoacyl-ACP synthases play essential role...

Determination of fitness traits of Orius strigicollis Poppius (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) on Pectinophora gossypiella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) using two-sex life table analysis

Background Pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) is a destructive insect pest of cotton crops in China and globally, which is actively predated on by Orius strigicollis. Studies on the fitness or survival of O. strigicollis fed on P. gos...

The Infection Route of Tomato Zonate Spot Virus in the Digestive System of Its Insect Vector Frankliniella occidentalis

Tomato zonate spot virus (TZSV) is a phytopathogen of the genus Orthotospovirus (Bunyaviridae) that is widespread in many areas of Southwest China. TZSV is mainly transmitted by Frankliniella occidentalis, but its exact infection route rema...
