Entering the plasma agriculture field: An attempt to standardize protocols for plasma treatment of seeds

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Fabio Avino, Alexandra Waskow

Plasma treatments are currently being assessed as a seed processing technology for agricultural purposes. There is sufficient information as a proof-of-concept, but a lack of standardization in the methodology prevents a convincing evaluation of plasma tre ...

Sub-cellular imaging shows reduced photosynthetic carbon and increased nitrogen assimilation by the non-native endosymbiontDurusdinium trenchiiin the model cnidarian Aiptasia

Anders Meibom

Hosting different symbiont species can affect inter-partner nutritional fluxes within the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis. Using nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS), we measured the spatial incorporation of photosynthetically fixed(13)C ...

Solidity without inhomogeneity: perfectly homogeneous, weakly coupled, UV-complete solids

Angelo Esposito

Solid-like behavior at low energies and long distances is usually associated with the spontaneous breaking of spatial translations at microscopic scales, as in the case of a lattice of atoms. We exhibit three quantum field theories that are renormalizable, ...

Genetically Different Isolates of the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Rhizophagus irregularis Induce Differential Responses to Stress in Cassava

Constant Signarbieux

Water scarcity negatively impacts global crop yields and climate change is expected to greatly increase the severity of future droughts. The use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can potentially mitigate the effects of water stress in plants. Cassava i ...

Benchmark for Bimanual Robotic Manipulation of Semi-deformable Objects

Aude Billard, Kunpeng Yao, Bernardo Fichera, Farshad Khadivar, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis, Ilaria Lauzana, Fanjun Bu

We propose a new benchmarking protocol to evaluate algorithms for bimanual robotic manipulation semi-deformable objects. The benchmark is inspired from two real-world applications: (a) watchmaking craftsmanship, and (b) belt assembly in automobile engines. ...

Cloud condensation nuclei activity of six pollenkitts and the influence of their surface activity

Athanasios Nenes

The role of surfactants in governing water interactions of atmospheric aerosols has been a recurring topic in cloud microphysics for more than two decades. Studies of detailed surface thermodynamics are limited by the availability of aerosol samples for ex ...

Relationships between key functional traits of the waterlily Nuphar lutea and wetland nutrient content

Charles Pierre Roger Henriot

Little attention has been paid to how aquatic habitat characteristics affect the traits of plant species. Nuphar lutea (L.) Sm. is a keystone species distributed across temperate regions of Europe, northwest Africa and western Asia. Its apparently low phen ...

Transient response of Salix cuttings to changing water level regimes

Alexandre Buttler, Paolo Perona, Pascal Turberg, Constant Signarbieux, Lorenzo Gorla

Sustainable water management requires an understanding of the effects of flow regulation on riparian ecomorphological processes. We investigated the transient response of Salix viminalis by examining the effect of water-level regimes on its above-ground an ...

Flow-induced uprooting of young vegetation on river bedforms

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier

Riparian vegetation stabilizes sediment by its roots and henceforth impacts riparian morphodynamics. After germination or vegetative reproduction on river bars or islands, juvenile plants are exposed to a high risk of mortality due to uprooting by floods. ...

Dma1-dependent degradation of SIN proteins during meiosis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe septation initiation network (SIN) is required for cytokinesis during vegetative growth and for spore formation during meiosis. Regulation of the SIN during mitosis has been studied extensively, but less is known about its mei ...

Metal reduction and sporulation in Desulfotomaculum reducens

Elena Cristina Dalla Vecchia

The genera Desulfotomaculum and Clostridium, belonging to the phylum Firmicutes, comprise Gram-positive, low G+C genomic content, anaerobic, spore- forming bacteria. Desulfotomaculum is a metabolically and environmentally versatile genus capable of growing ...

Above and below-ground Salix dynamics in response to river processes

Paolo Perona

Riparian vegetation influences hydraulic and morphodynamic river processes and may contribute to sediment stabilization. In turn, vegetation recruitment and growth on non-cohesive fluvial deposits strongly depends on river hydrology and the ability of root ...

Turbulent flow within a random array of rigid, emergent stems : Laboratory characterization of the drag coefficient

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Ana Margarida Da Costa Ricardo

Within the bioengineering framework, designing a non-erodible channel is a complex fluid dynamics problem as it involves knowing the drag exerted on the boundary, the drag exerted on the plant stems and the overall friction slope. Most of the existing desi ...

European phylogeography of the epiphytic lichen fungus Lobaria pulmonaria and its green algal symbiont

Ivo Widmer

In lichen symbiosis, fungal and algal partners form close associations, often codispersed by vegetative propagules. Due to the particular interdependence, processes such as colonization, dispersal or genetic drift are expected to result in congruent patter ...

Effects of streamflow variability on the vertical root density distribution of willow cutting experiments

Paolo Perona

The use of riparian tree cuttings for river rehabilitation relies on a good understanding of cutting survival and growth responses to environmental variables. A series of experiments aimed at studying the effects of water table fluctuation induced by strea ...

Modélisation physique et analyse numérique de la propagation d'une masse granulaire : contribution à l'étude des avalanches rocheuses

Claire Sauthier

Rock avalanches are processes involving a huge amount of mobilised material, larger than 106 m3, and their propagation is characterised by a very high energy, such that no active mitigation measure is capable of protecting human lives and properties potent ...

Compound resonance-induced coupling effects in composite plasmonic metamaterials

Olivier Martin, Arash Farhang

We study a compound plasmonic system composed of a periodic Au grating array placed close to a thin Au film. The study is not limited to normal incidence and dispersion diagrams are computed for a broad variety of parameters. In addition to identifying loc ...

The Plasmodium falciparum, Nima-related kinase Pfnek-4: a marker for asexual parasites committed to sexual differentiation

Miguel Garcia

Background: Malaria parasites undergo, in the vertebrate host, a developmental switch from asexual replication to sexual differentiation leading to the formation of gametocytes, the only form able to survive in the mosquito vector. Regulation of the onset ...

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 ...

Polyploidy and invasion success: trait trade-offs in native and introduced cytotypes of two Asteraceae species

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Aurélie Thébault

Invasion success is favoured by the introduction of pre-adapted genotypes. In addition, novel pressures in the introduced range may lead to phenotypic changes related to fitness or competitive ability of introduced plants. Polyploidy appears to be over-rep ...
