Multi-level inverters are widely employed to generate new energy because of their huge capacity and benefits in sound control performance. One of the critical areas of study for multi-level inverters is control strategy research. In this study, the c...
A small prototype of a 5-level single-phase full H-bridge inverter for ocean current applications is presented. The inverter was designed applying level-shift control in pulse-width modulation (LS-PWM), and experimental tests were conducted using a v...
Betalains are natural antioxidant pigments valued as food colorants (E162), yet their combined responses to light quality and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) during long-term growth remain poorly understood. In this study, the interactive effects of blue lig...
The transition of blueberry fruits from the ripening stage to the post-harvest senescence stage is rapid. However, the internal physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms underlying this process have not been elucidated. This study analyzed...
Broomrapes (Orobanche spp.) are root parasitic plants that threaten agricultural production in many parts of the world. In this study, the effect of two orobanche species, Orobanche crenata and O. foetida, on faba bean plants was studied in Tunisia....
Eutrophication caused by excessive nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs threatens aquatic ecosystems and requires sustainable solutions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a fast-growing forage crop with potential for removing nutrients in eutrophic wa...
Drought severely constrains grassland stability and forage productivity. Allium mongolicum Regel, a dominant species in desert steppes, exhibits high drought tolerance, yet its multi-level adaptive responses remain incompletely understood. Here, drou...
Over the last decades, plants devoted to the generation of green energy significantly increased their number, together with the demand of same electrical energy, also stored in battery systems. This fact produced the growth of energy conversion syste...
While gas-turbine combustors have received much research attention, the forced response of large atmospheric industrial flames is much less studied. To improve the understanding of thermoacoustic instabilities in industrial combustion systems, the fo...
An increasing body of research has underscored the significant impact of non-consumptive effects on the dynamics of prey pests, encompassing growth, development, reproduction, and metabolism across various vertebrate and invertebrate taxa, rivaling t...
Soil salinization constrains global wheat production, but how organic–microbial amendments alleviate saline–alkali stress across plant tissues remains poorly characterized. In a single-season field trial, we compared three treatments&mdas...
This study used Camellia pyxidiacea var. rubituberculata as the rootstock and the improved cultivar Camellia oleifera ‘Qianyou 2’ as the scion for heterografting (CO group), with homografting (using C. pyxidiacea var. rubituberculata as b...
Damage caused by Brassicogethes aeneus primarily affects the reproductive organs of rapeseed, disrupting fertilization and often leading to premature pod opening. In addition to direct yield loss, it is hypothesized that injury to generative tissues...
Among heavy metals, cadmium (Cd) is shown to have adverse consequences for plants. Due to its harmful nature and ability to move through the soil–plant system, it is a very worrying element for soil experts and plant physiologists. In this work...
Calmodulins (CAMs) and calmodulin-like proteins (CMLs) can participate in the regulation of various physiological processes via sensing and decoding Ca2+ signals. To reveal the characteristics of the CAM/CML family in Ginkgo biloba, a comprehensive a...
The escalating demand for sustainable agriculture calls for innovative strategies that enhance crop resilience while minimizing dependence on synthetic fertilizers. This study evaluated the synergistic effects of a microbial consortium (PYS), organic...
This study introduces an innovative approach involving the injection of hydrogen into a low-swirl, non-premixed flame, which operates with gaseous fuels derived from an air-blast atomizer designed for aero-engine applications. The aim is to character...
Alpine meadow ecosystems are highly sensitive to global change, yet the response mechanisms of soil respiration (Rs) to nitrogen deposition remain unclear. This research employed a gradient nitrogen addition experiment (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 g·m&mi...
Soybean is an important oilseed crop that provides high-quality protein and vegetable oil. Salinity constitutes a negative abiotic factor that reduces soybean plant growth, production, and quality. The adsorption of Na+ by chitosan-modified biochar (...
Reproductive-stage drought arrests silk elongation, causing a greater anthesis-silking interval and subsequent kernel loss in maize. Exogenous brassinolide (BR) is known to increase drought tolerance; however, its influence on silk growth under water...
Exposure to stressful low temperatures during development can cause chilling injury, leading to impaired physiological performance. In insects, chilling injury is often associated with metabolic imbalance, oxidative stress and disruption of energy ho...
Brachiaria decumbens is a high-yielding forage grass of major economic value in tropical regions. The root endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica is widely recognized for promoting plant growth and stress tolerance, yet its effects on B. decumbens r...
The root-associated microbiome significantly influences plant health and pest resistance, yet the temporal dynamics of its compositional and functional change in response to Ectropis grisescens Warren (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) infestation remain lar...
(1) Background: Chilling is a major environmental constraint on tomato growth and development, yet the temporal coordination of physiological, transcriptional, and metabolic responses remains insufficiently characterized. (2) Methods: Tomato seedling...
Drought is a negative agronomic effect that can lead to an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Excessive drought can severely alter cell membrane fluidity and permeability, significantly reducing cell viability. The Gibberellic acid-sti...
