Advancing phosphorus foliar fertilization with nano-hydroxyapatite: mechanisms and agricultural relevance

<title>Abstract</title> Phosphorus (P) use in agriculture remains inefficient and poses long-term environmental concerns. We investigate the uptake, redistribution, and efficacy of foliar-applied nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) in P-deficient barley (Hordeum vulgare), aiming to clarif...

Achieving micrometer-scale 4D X-ray tomography of living leaf tissue in the laboratory

A methodology for achieving micrometer-scale 4D X-ray lab microscopy of living leaf tissue was developed to overcome challenges associated with delicate tissues, radiation damage, and motion artifacts during in vivo imaging. The study focused on optimizing laboratory-based X-ray...
