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, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Martinus Gijs, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia

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, Yann Vitasse

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, Imrich Barak, Zuzana Chromiková, Cornelia List, Jan Jamroskovic

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 ...
