An editorial about the state-of-the-art of R&D for vaccines produced in plant platforms and the future expectations.

The patch residence time of spiders has long been attributed to prey availability. We provide empirical evidence that plant architecture determines the residence time of a bromeliad-living spider. The residence time of ...

Most organisms adjust their physiology and metabolism in synchronization with the diurnal and seasonal time by using an endogenous mechanism known as circadian clock. In plants, light and temperature signals interact with ...

The objective of this research was to study the effects of P fertilizers applied at time of planting on lychees' nutritional status and on plant growth. The treatments consisted of five doses of P: zero, 50, 100, 200, and ...

Despite the fact that they are sessile organisms, plants actively move their organs and also use these movements to manipulate the surrounding biotic and abiotic environments. Plants maintain communication with neighboring ...

Phenology is among the most trustworthy indicators of climate change effects on plants and animals. The recent application of repeated digital photographs to monitor vegetation phenology has provided accurate measures of ...

This study analyzes the time resolution impact on the modeling of a hybrid CSP-PV plant integrated with thermal storage and a battery bank for two locations in Chile. Daily and annual results were evaluated varying the ...

A detailed exergy cost and thermoeconomic analysis applied to a Rankine Cycle (RC) coupled to a Multi-Effect Distillation (MED) plant was performed. The aim of this work is to identify the impact of design and operating ...
