Moisture-curing one-component polyurethane systems in adhesive, sealant, and coating applications may show blister formation upon cure. Blisters can be formed when carbon dioxide, generated the reaction with isocyanate water, is trapped film. This problem mitigated by employing latent hardeners such as blocked polyamines, which are activated moisture exposure. The hydrolysis of hardener yields polyamine that quickly reacts isocyanate, forming urea linkages, then chain extends polymer. also...
Significance This study helps untangle the multiscale processes involved in relationships between crop genetic and human cultural diversity patterns. It quantifies effect of homophily on seed exchange networks details major role played by kinship systems. By bridging anthropology genetics through an in-depth social network analysis, this provides a better understanding dynamics. These findings urgently call for specification factors metapopulation models, which has been neglected so far.
Since the domestication of crop species, humans have derived specific varieties for particular uses and shaped genetic diversity these varieties. Here, using an interdisciplinary approach combining ethnobotany population genetics, we document within-variety structure a population-variety bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in relation to farmers' practices decipher their contribution species evolution. Using 19 microsatellites markers, conducted two complementary graph theory-based methods...
Agroecology calls for a global approach, integrating scientific, practical, and advocacy dimensions, to redesign agricultural systems based on ecological socio-cultural processes emphasizing biodiversity. This review is grounded the results of DIVERSIFOOD, European H2020 multi-actor research project, explores concept cultivated diversity using various dimensions relevant foster sustainable organic food agro-ecological transition. From evaluation underutilized genetic resources forgotten...
Because organic systems present complex environmental stress, plant breeders may either target very focused regions for different varieties, or create heterogeneous populations which can then evolve specific adaptation through on-farm cultivation and selection. This often leads to participatory breeding (PPB) strategies take advantage of the knowledge farmers. Participatory selection requires increased commitment engagement on part farmers researchers. Projects begin as researcher...
In the current polycrisis era, plant science, particularly when applied to agronomy, becomes instrumental: because our main substantial and renewable resource is biomass, many future solutions will depend on ability grow transform material in a sustainable way. This also questions way we conduct research thus quantitative biology. response increasing polarization between science society, participatory offers pertinent framework. Far from moving away approaches, builds complexity associated...
Poxviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses including relevant zoonotic pathogens with high morbidity. Although African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) belongs to the Asfarviridae family and is not strictly classified as a member of Poxviridae, both fall within same class Pokkesviricetes, which replicate in cytoplasm, some poxviruses pose potential biological warfare threats. Among compounds targeting these viruses, acyclic nucleoside phosphonate prodrugs, analogues inhibitors viral polymerases,...

As the effects of climate change begin to be felt on yield stability, it is becoming essential promote use genetic diversity in farmers’ fields. The presence variability variety could fulfil this purpose. Indeed, level intra-varietal influences spatio-temporal stability yields and disease susceptibility crop species. Breeding history varieties their management practices are two factors that should influence diversity. This paper describes eight wheat samples covering a gradient from modern...
Abstract Background and Objectives Minor species of wheat, including einkorn (Ei), emmer (Em), spelt (Sp), are believed to have different gluten compositions compared common wheat (CW). Given the limited research on these resources, as a result collaboration with collective farmers, we aimed provide insights into their compositions. We focused varieties readily accessible farmers bakers within region Lyon, France. Findings in 31 varieties, revealing significantly lower glutenin protein...
Dans les années 2000, des agriculteurs désireux de cultiver blés correspondant à leurs besoins et soucieux d'affirmer leur autonomie vis-à-vis l'industrie semencière, ont entrepris relancer la sélection paysanne ferme. Des collaborations été tissées avec généticiens l'Inra, se sont progressivement développées dans le cadre projets financés. Or financements recherche impliquent une formalisation partenariats, engagements en termes résultats académiques augmentation significative taille...
While modern agriculture relies on genetic homogeneity, diversifying practices associated with seed exchange and recycling may allow crops to adapt their environment. This socio-genetic model is an original experimental evolution design referred as on-farm dynamic management of crop diversity. Investigating such can help in understanding how evolutionary mechanisms shape diversity submitted diverse agro-environments. We studied a French farmer-led initiative where mixture four wheat...

Emerging and reemerging viruses pose significant public health threats, underscoring the urgent need for new antiviral drugs. Recently, a novel family of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (ANP) composed 4-(2,4-diaminopyrimidin-6-yl)oxy-but-2-enyl phosphonic acid skeleton (O-DAPy nucleobase) has shown promise. Among these, LAVR-289 stands out its potent inhibitory effects against various DNA viruses. Despite efficacy, LAVR-289s poor water solubility hampers effective drug delivery. To address...
