Estimating climate-induced ‘Nowhere to go’ range shifts of the Himalayan Incarvillea Juss. using multi-model median ensemble species distribution models

Global climate change threatens the range and resilience of species in the major biodiversity, particularly those in mountain regions. As the climatic conditions at high altitudes becomes suitable for colonization, many alpine plants experi...

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 ...

Completing the picture of field-grown cereal crops: a new method for detailed leaf surface models in wheat

Abstract Background The leaf angle distribution (LAD) is an important structural parameter of agricultural crops that influences light interception, radiation fluxes and consequently plant performance. Therefore, LAD and its parametrized fo...

An International Model for the Future of Plant Science

Plant Methods: putting the spotlight on technological innovation in the plant sciences

Plant Methods is a new journal for plant biologists, specialising in the rapid publication of peer-reviewed articles with a focus on technological innovation in the plant sciences. The aim of Plant Methods is to stimulate the development an...

Photosynthetic Research in Plant Science

Photosynthesis is a highly regulated, multistep process. It encompasses the harvest of solar energy, transfer of excitation energy, energy conversion, electron transfer from water to NADP+, ATP generation and a series of enzymatic reactions...

Metabolites extracted from browntop millet (Urochloa ramosa (L.) T.Q. Nguyen) mitigated the proliferation of breast- and colorectal carcinoma cells in vitro and retarded the EAC tumors in vivo by binding to oncogenic proteins

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an inverse correlation between millet-based diets and incidence of cancers of colon and rectum. These findings highlight the potential of millets as functional foods for effective management of canc...

Unravelling the interplay of ecological processes structuring the bacterial rare biosphere

Abstract Most ecological communities harbor many rare species (i.e., the rare biosphere), however, relatively little is known about how distinct ecological processes structure their existence. Here, we used spatiotemporal data on soil bacte...

Spatio-Temporal Occurrence Modeling of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Subtype H5N1: A Case Study in the Red River Delta, Vietnam

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) subtype H5N1 poses severe threats to both animals and humans. Investigating where, when and why the disease occurs is important to help animal health authorities develop effective control policies. T...

Microbial Electrosynthesis Reshapes Energy Metabolism and Physiology in Clostridium ljungdahlii

ABSTRACT Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) enables a variety of microorganisms, particularly acetogens, to utilize electrical energy in the form of electrons to produce valuable compounds from CO2. In the closely related process of gas ferme...
