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 ...
2021Advantages 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 ...
2021Seed Selection for Successful Fuzzing
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 ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2021Structural basis for recognition of RALF peptides by LRX proteins during pollen tube growth
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 ...
NATL ACAD SCIENCES2020Frost hardening and dehardening potential in temperate trees from winter to budburst
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 ...
Wiley-Blackwell2017Anthropogenic 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 ...
Springer2017Variability 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 ...
Frontiers Research Foundation2016Real-time, Automated Characterization of 3D Morphology and Mechanics of Developing Plant Cells
Mahmut Selman Sakar, Dimitrios Felekis, Geraldo Mecja
In this article, we introduce the real-time cellular force microscope (RT-CFM), a high-throughput microrobotic platform for mechanical stimulation and characterization of single cells. We developed computer vision algorithms that fully automate the positio ...
SAGE Publications2015The Higgs boson and cosmology
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 ...
