A thermocouple shows a high accuracy in reading temperatures, but it does not always give a true value for the temperature of the leaf against which it is pressed on. Temperature differences between the leaf and the air moving around it cause deviations of the shown temperature from the actual leaf temperature. A method is described to calibrate thermocouples inside gas exchange cuvettes without obstructing the movement of the air around the leaf, so that the heat exchange between thermocouple and air is taken into account. The reading of the leaf temperature in a steady-state porometer was checked by this method at various temperatures of ambient air (T ) and of the leaf (T ) and was found to give an average value of T and T . The effect of incorrect estimation of the leaf temperature on computed diffusive resistances on HO (r ) and CO (r ) and intercellular CO partial pressures (p ) is discussed.

In this study, square-star-shaped leaf-like BiVO nanomaterials were successfully synthesized using a conventional hydrothermal method. The microstructure, elemental composition, and gas-sensing performance of the materials were thoroughly investigated. Morphological analysis revealed that BiVO prepared at different reaction temperatures exhibited square-star-shaped leaf-like structures, with the most regular and dense structures formed at 150 °C, exhibiting a large specific surface area of 2.

The development of copper-based materials with a high efficiency and low cost is desirable for use in iodine (I) remediation. Herein, Cu-nanoparticles-functionalized, ZIF-8 (Zeolite Imidazole Framework-8)-derived, nitrogen-doped carbon composites (Cu@Zn-NC) were synthesized by ball milling and pyrolysis processes. The as-prepared composites were characterized using SEM, BET, XRD, XPS, and FT-IR analyses.

Perennial grasses' reproductive phenology profoundly impacts plant morphogenesis, biomass production, and perenniality in natural ecosystems and cultivated grasslands. Complex interactions between vegetative and reproductive development complicate grass phenology prediction for various environments and genotypes. This work aims to analyse genetic × environment interactions effects on tiller growth and reproductive development in Three perennial ryegrass cultivars, Bronsyn, Carvalis, and Tryskal, were grown from seedling to heading under four inductive conditions.

Plant infiltration techniques, particularly agroinfiltration, have transformed plant science and biotechnology by enabling transient gene expression for genetic engineering of plants or genomic studies. Recently, the use of infiltration has expanded to introduce nanomaterials and polymers in plants to enable nonnative functionalities. Despite its wide use, the impact of the infiltration process on plant physiology needs to be better understood.

This study aimed to compare the conventional soybean ( L.) cultivation method with integrated systems in an Latossolo Vermelho Acriférrico típico and how these systems affect soil cover biomass production, initial nutrient concentration in plant residues, soil respiration and microclimate, as well as soybean growth, physiology and productivity. A comparative analysis of microclimate and soil respiration, plant physiology, and growth was conducted between a conventional soybean monoculture (soybean grown without plant residues on the soil from the previous crop) and soybean grown in soil containing maize residues.
