Mechanisms of Plasma-Seed Treatments as a Potential Seed Processing Technology

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Alexandra Waskow

Plasma treatments are currently being assessed as a seed processing technology for agricultural purposes where seeds are typically subjected to pre-sowing treatments to improve the likelihood of timely and uniform germination. The aim of this review is to ...

Advantages and Limitations of Surface Analysis Techniques on Plasma-Treated Arabidopsis thaliana Seeds

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Alexandra Waskow

Surface characterization of plasma-treated seeds has made significant progress over the last decade. Most papers in the literature use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and contact angle goniometry to investigate surface modifications. However, very few p ...

Seed Selection for Successful Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer

Mutation-based greybox fuzzing-unquestionably the most widely-used fuzzing technique-relies on a set of non-crashing seed inputs (a corpus) to bootstrap the bug-finding process. When evaluating a fuzzer, common approaches for constructing this corpus inclu ...

Structural basis for recognition of RALF peptides by LRX proteins during pollen tube growth

Sarah Wehrle

Plant reproduction relies on the highly regulated growth of the pollen tube for sperm delivery. This process is controlled by secreted RALF signaling peptides, which have previously been shown to be perceived by Catharanthus roseus RLK1-like (CrRLK1Ls) mem ...

Modelling of JET DT experiments in ILW configurations

Olivier Sauter, Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Jonathan Graves, Ambrogio Fasoli, Stefano Coda, Basil Duval, Henri Weisen, Richard Pitts, Yves Martin, Javier García Hernández, Duccio Testa, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Nicola Vianello, Robin Humphry-Baker, Sun Hee Kim, Federico Nespoli, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, David Pfefferlé, Davide Galassi, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Cristian Sommariva, Hamish William Patten, Samuel Lanthaler, Jan Horacek, Yann Camenen, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Mikhail Maslov, Marco Wischmeier, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Liang Yao, Daniel Scott Alessi, Arnout Lodewijk M Beckers, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Partha Dutta, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun, Pedro Camilo de Oliveira e Silva, Alberto Hernando de Castro, Julio Rodriguez, Vlad Trifa, Li Shuai, Rebecca Hill

Numerical scan at constant shows that core and scrape-off layer (SOL) radiations do not depend on the plasma current (I-p). Whereas the SOL radiation increases with seeding, the core radiation, however, does not continue to increase with seeding but rolls ...

Frost hardening and dehardening potential in temperate trees from winter to budburst

Amarante Vitra

We investigated how deciduous trees can adjust their freezing resistance in response totemperature during the progress of the ecodormancy phase, from midwinter to bud burst. We regularly sampled twigs of four different temperate deciduous tree species from ...

Anthropogenic charcoal-rich soils of the XIX century reveal that biochar leads to enhanced fertility and fodder quality of alpine grasslands

Soil incorporation of charcoal (biochar) has been suggested as practice to sequester carbon, improve soil properties and crop yields but most studies have been done in the short term. Old anthropogenic charcoal-rich soils in the Alps enable to explore the ...

Variability in DPA and calcium content in the spores of Clostridium species

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Cornelia List, Jan Jamroskovic, Zuzana Chromiková

Spores of a number of clostridia' species, and their resistance to thermal treatment is a major concern for the food industry. Spore resistance to wet heat is related to the level of spore hydration, which is inversely correlated with the content of calciu ...

The Higgs boson and cosmology

Mikhail Chapochnikov

I will discuss how the Higgs field of the Standard Model may have played an important role in cosmology, leading to the homogeneity, isotropy and flatness of the Universe; producing the quantum fluctuations that seed structure formation; triggering the rad ...

Impact of floods on the statistical distribution of riverbed vegetation

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier

Investigating the colonization of river bars by pioneer vegetation, we discuss how the balance between uprooting by flooding events and reinforcement of plant roots determines the ability for vegetation to colonize the riverbed. In order to access the comp ...

Spatially and genetically distinct control of seed germination by phytochromes A and B

Phytochromes phyB and phyA mediate a remarkable developmental switch whereby, early upon seed imbibition, canopy light prevents phyB-dependent germination, whereas, later on, it stimulates phyA-dependent germination. Using a seed coat bedding assay where t ...

Biomass selection by floods and related timescales. Part 2: Stochastic modeling

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy

We analyze the results from a flume experiment presented in a companion paper by Perona et al. [1] exploring the selective action of floods on pioneer riparian vegetation. We study the way seedlings react to periodic flow disturbances in the early stages o ...

Phytochrome interacting factors 4 and 5 control seedling growth in changing light conditions by directly controlling auxin signaling

Jacques Rougemont

Plant growth is strongly influenced by the presence of neighbors that compete for light resources. In response to vegetational shading shade-intolerant plants such as Arabidopsis display a suite of developmental responses known as the shade-avoidance syndr ...

Mechanisms of vegetation uprooting by flow in alluvial non-cohesive sediment

Paolo Perona, Katharina Maria Edmaier

The establishment of riparian pioneer vegetation is of crucial importance within river restoration projects. After germination or vegetative reproduction on river bars juvenile plants are often exposed to mortality by uprooting caused by floods. At later s ...

Isotopic analysis of cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation associated with subarctic lichen and bryophyte species

Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov

Dinitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria is of particular importance for the nutrient economy of cold biomes, constituting the main pathway for new N supplies to tundra ecosystems. It is prevalent in cyanobacterial colonies on bryophytes and in obligate associ ...

POLLEN CLUMPING AND WIND DISPERSAL IN AN INVASIVE ANGIOSPERM

Marc Parlange

Pollen dispersal is a fundamental aspect of plant reproductive biology that maintains connectivity between spatially separated populations. Pollen clumping, a characteristic feature of insect-pollinated plants, is generally assumed to be a detriment to win ...

Large eddy simulation of pollen transport in the atmospheric boundary layer

Marc Parlange

This paper presents a framework to simulate pollen dispersal by the wind based on the large eddy simulation(LES) technique. Important phenomena such as the pollen emission by the plants and the ground deposition are parameterized by the lower boundary cond ...

Pollen productivity estimates and relevant source area of pollen for selected plant taxa in a pasture woodland landscape of the Jura Mountains (Switzerland)

Alexandre Buttler

Relevant source area of pollen (RSAP) and pollen productivity for 11 key taxa characteristic of the pasture woodland landscape of the Jura Mountains, Switzerland, were estimated using pollen assemblages from moss polsters at 20 sites. To obtain robust poll ...
