Abstract Intracellular recycling via autophagy is governed by post-translational modifications of the autophagy-related (ATG) proteins. One notable example ATG4-dependent delipidation ATG8, a process that plays critical but distinct roles in autophagosome formation yeast and mammals. Here, we aim to elucidate specific contribution this species representative evolutionarily distant green plant lineages: unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii , with relatively simple set ATG genes,...
Abstract The mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) is increasingly implicated in neuronal cell death. In the present study, isolated respiring brain mitochondria were examined for their ability to undergo calcium‐induced mPT and sensitivity inhibition by cyclosporin A (CsA). Previous studies have suggested a heterogeneous response calcium, limitation of CsA inhibition, relative resistance mPT. Using fluorometric electron microscopic analyses, we found that virtually whole population...
Salix spp. are high-productivity crops potentially used for lignocellulosic biofuels such as bioethanol. In general, pretreatment is needed to facilitate the enzymatic depolymerization process. Biomass resistance degradation, i.e., biomass recalcitrance, a trait which can be assessed by measuring sugar released after combined and hydrolysis. We have examined genetic parameters of release other traits related biorefinery use in population 286 natural viminalis clones. Furthermore, we...
Phenotyping of model organisms grown on Petri plates is often carried out manually, despite the procedures being time-consuming and laborious. The main reason for this limited availability automated phenotyping facilities, whereas constructing a custom solution can be daunting task biologists. Here, we describe SPIRO, Smart Plate Imaging Robot, an platform that acquires time-lapse photographs up to four vertically oriented in single experiment, corresponding 192 seedlings typical root growth...
Autophagy is a major catabolic process in eukaryotes with key role homeostasis, programmed cell death, and aging. In plants, autophagy also known to regulate agronomically important traits such as stress resistance, longevity, vegetative biomass, seed yield. Despite its significance, there still shortage of reliable tools modulating plant autophagy. Here, we describe the first robust pipeline for identification specific autophagy-modulating compounds. Our screening protocol comprises four...
Abstract Biogas from anaerobic digestion is a versatile energy carrier that can be upgraded to compressed biomethane gas (CBG) as renewable and sustainable alternative natural gas. Organic residues crops are predicted major sources of bioenergy production in the future. Pre-treatment reduce recalcitrance lignocellulosic such Salix digestion, making it potential biogas feedstock. This material co-digested with animal manure, which has complementary effect increasing volumetric yield....
III-nitrides are considered the material of choice for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers in visible to ultraviolet spectral range. The development is hampered by lattice thermal mismatch between nitride layers growth substrate leading high dislocation densities. In order overcome issue, efforts have gone into selected area nanowires (NWs), using their small footprint grow virtually dislocation-free material. Their geometry defined six tall side-facets a pointed tip which limits design...
Abstract Biomass recalcitrance, the inherent resistance of plants towards deconstruction, negatively affects viability biorefineries. This trait is not only dictated by properties biomass but also conversion system used and its interactions with specific features biomass. Here, recalcitrance to anaerobic digestion (AD) was assessed using a biomethanation potential (BMP) assay. Plant material ( n = 94) selected from large population natural Salix viminalis accessions, previously evaluated for...

Abstract In this work, growth of InN quantum dots (QDs) on GaN nanowires (NWs) by metal‐organic vapour phase epitaxy is demonstrated, illustrating the feasibility to combine 0D and 1D structures for nitride semiconductors. Selective area was used generate arrays c‐oriented NWs using Si 3 N 4 as mask material. general, QDs tend form at NW edges between m‐plane side facets, but QD can also be tuned facets controlling temperature rate. TEM characterization reveals that I 1 ‐type stacking faults...

Animal manure represents a major source of renewable energy that can be converted into biogas using anaerobic digestion. In order to most efficiently utilize this resource, it co-digested with dense, high biomethanation potential feedstocks such as crops. However, typically require pretreatments which are not feasible for small-scale facilities. We investigated the use single-stage and sequential co-digestion comminuted but otherwise non-pretreated Salix animal manure, further effects...
Numerous investigations have studied the performance of lateral transistors based on single nanowires, there are only a few studies fabrication and vertical with wrap-gates, so called WIGFETs. Based our previous study 800 nm gate length transistors, we now scaled technology to sub 100 scaling nanowires in transistor structure. It is demonstrated that provides mean adjust threshold voltage transistor.
