How do rootstocks mediate scion salinity tolerance under salt stress?
Grafting in tomato has been investigated mainly in small-scale experiments, demonstrating morphological, physiological, and metabolic changes in the scion mediated by the rootstock. By grafting a scion onto different rootstocks, scion salt tolerance.....»»
How biocrust influences bacterial communities in both biocrust and subsoil layers
Biocrusts, known as the "desert skin," includes communities of cyanobacteria, algae, fungi, bacteria, lichen, and mosses. They can mediate both the physical and biological environments of dryland ecosystems......»»

Understanding the interplay between DevOps productivity and security
Not only are macroeconomic headwinds causing more significant stress for security and DevOps teams, but the increasing number of threats against shrinking teams is causing an uneven playing field. In this Help Net Security video, Ev Kontsevoy, CEO at.....»»
Demonstrating the significance of individual molecules during mechanical stress in cells
The cells in our bodies are continuously exposed to mechanical forces that are either externally applied or generated by the cells themselves. Being able to respond to such mechanical stimuli is an indispensable prerequisite for a large number of bio.....»»
Damping waves with 50,000 rubber grass blades
Dimitris Dermentzoglou, PhD student in Coastal Engineering, is investigating whether salt marshes can serve as a natural solution for coastal protection. It is why he mimics salt marsh vegetation at the TU Delft Waterlab. He hopes his research will y.....»»

Dirtiest snow-year in the Wasatch accelerated snowmelt by 17 days in Utah, finds study
As the shrinking Great Salt Lake exposes an ever-growing area of its lakebed, wind-blown dust becomes more dangerous for those living in Utah's most populous region. It also makes the snowpack dirty, which threatens the state's most precious resource.....»»
Climate variability a shock to the crop system, shows study
As the world faces more climate variability and extremes in the face of global warming, sudden environmental changes add an extra layer of stress to food production in the United States and around the world. It is critical, then, to figure out how th.....»»
