Extraction of lipids from biological tissues is a crucial step in lipid analysis. The selection of
appropriate solvent is the most critical factor in the efficient extraction of lipids. A mixture of …

Cold stress limits plant geographical distribution and influences plant growth, development,
and yields. Plants as sessile organisms have evolved complex biochemical and …

Several environmental stresses, including biotic and abiotic factors, adversely affect the
growth and development of crops, thereby lowering their yield. However, abiotic factors, eg …

High-fat diet (HFD) decreases insulin sensitivity. How high-fat diet causes insulin resistance
is largely unknown. Here, we show that lean mice become insulin resistant after being …

For over a century, the importance of lipid metabolism in biology was recognized but difficult
to mechanistically understand due to the lack of sensitive and robust technologies for …

Nanotechnology has provided advancement opportunities in different fields of sciences
related to plants such as agriculture. Plants are one of the most critical components of the …

Many short cationic peptides are amphiphilic and are often termed antimicrobial peptides
(AMPs) as they can kill various microorganisms. These AMPs have largely been discovered …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbioses contribute to global carbon cycles as plant hosts
divert up to 20% of photosynthate to the obligate biotrophic fungi. Previous studies …

Lipids are one of the major components of biological membranes including the plasma
membrane, which is the interface between the cell and the environment. It has become clear …

The application of nanostructured materials, designed for sustainable crop production,
reduces nutrient losses, suppresses disease and enhances the yields. Nanomaterials …
