Exogenous Application of Lanthanum Chloride to Rice at Booting Stage Can Increase Chlorophyll Content, Modulate Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Promote Grain Yield Under Deficit Irrig... by Peng Liu, Xilin Fang, Yue Wang, Xin Yang, Qiang Li

“…The application of 100 mg·L⁻¹ lanthanum chloride reduced the initial fluorescence (F0) and the non-photochemical quenching coefficient (qN); promoted the activity of leaf photosynthetic system II (PSII); and maximized the photochemical quantum yield (Fv/Fm), photochemical quenching coefficient (qP), and PSII relative electron transfer efficiency (ETR). Under deficit irrigation, this treatment significantly enhanced grain yield by increasing the thousand-grain weight, spikelet filling rate, and number of grains per panicle. …”

Metallized Sol–Gel coatings on ceramic glazes with photocatalytic activity by Guillermo Monrós, Carolina Delgado, José Antonio Badenes, Guillem Monrós-Andreu, Mario Llusar

“…The microstructure of the layers, studied by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), shows that the heterogeneous nucleation of oxides from the inks supposes the formation of many nanocrystals that form clusters, also of nanometric size, growing parallel to each other and normal to the surface, following a film–glaze interaction model of nucleation, growth, and dissolution. …”

Global proteomics and affinity mass spectrometry analysis of human Schwann cells indicates that variation in and loss of neurofibromin (NF1) alters protein expression and cellular... by Christian X Fay, Elizabeth R.M. Zunica, Elias Awad, William Bradley, Cameron Church, Jian Liu, Hui Liu, David K. Crossman, James A. Mobley, John P. Kirwan, Christopher L. Axelrod, Erik Westin, Robert A. Kesterson, Deeann Wallis

“…Finally, consistent with our proteomics findings, we show that NF1 is required to maintain mitochondrial respiratory function in Schwann cells by stabilizing NADH-linked oxidative phosphorylation and electron transfer. Taken together, these data indicate that NF1 plays a significant role in mitochondrial metabolism that results in proteomic changes in Schwann cells and may serve as a future drug target.…”
