Metabolomics of related C3 and C4 Flaveria species indicate differences in the operation of photorespiration under fluctuating light by Xinyu Fu, Urte Schlüter, Kaila Smith, Andreas P. M. Weber, Berkley J. Walker

“…Here, we compare metabolic profiles in the closely related C3 Flaveria robusta and C4 Flaveria bidentis during a light transient from low to high light to determine if these non‐steady state accumulation patterns provide insight to the induction of the metabolite gradients needed to drive C4 intermediate transport and if there is incomplete cycling of photorespiratory intermediates. …”

Behaviour of Tritium and Tritiogenic Helium in Freshwater Lens Groundwater Systems: Insights from Langeoog Island, Germany by Vincent E. A. Post, Georg J. Houben, Leonard Stoeckl, Jürgen Sültenfuß

“…Under favourable conditions, 3H from seawater can penetrate deep into the offshore part of the aquifer and has potential to be used as a tracer to study saltwater circulation patterns. Our modelling suggests that the field-observed 3H in the transition zone does not originate from seawater but from freshwater affected by the bomb peak. …”
