Pollen tube growth: signal perception and temporary growth arrest

Abstract Pollen tubes are among the fastest growing polarized plant cells and must traverse the stigma, style and ovary to deliver male gametes. The style constitutes the longest and most complex phase of this journey yet the molecular and biomechanical logic of pollen tube behav...

Discrete vs. continuous: how weight unit framing mitigates consumers’ short-weight concerns and boosts online fruit purchase intention

Consumers commonly encounter short-weight issues when purchasing fruit online. This study compares the effect of two weight unit framing approaches(discrete versus continuous) on alleviating consumers’ concerns about short-weight in online fruit shopping. We also reveal the under...

Hydrophobic Eutectogels Reinforced by Zn2+-Coordinated Lignin Nanoparticles for Underwater Wearable Electronics

Abstract Wearable flexible sensors for underwater communication and biomotion monitoring are gaining attention. However, developing gel-based strain sensors with high toughness, anti-swelling performance, robust underwater adhesion, and long-term stability remains challenging. He...

Effects of Different Branch Bending Angles on the Growth and Fruiting of ‘Jinyefoxilan’ Olive

A reasonable branch bending angle is essential for optimizing canopy structure and regulating metabolic distribution in fruit trees. ‘Jinyefoxilan’ is a new olive variety bred by crossing ‘Frantoio’ and Olea cuspidata Wall., characterized by rapid growth and high oil concentratio...
