In natural ecosystems, plants compete for space, nutrients and light. The optically dense
canopies limit the penetration of photosynthetically active radiation and light often becomes …

Spectroscopy at the leaf and canopy scales has attracted considerable interest in plant
ecology over the past decades. Using reflectance spectra, ecologists can infer plant traits …

Hydroxycinnamic acids present in plant cuticles, the interphase and the main protective
barrier between the plant and the environment, exhibit singular photochemical properties …

The flexibility of LED technology, in terms of energy efficiency, robustness, compactness,

Two important biophysical properties, the thermal and UV-Vis screening capacity, of isolated
tomato fruit cuticle membranes (CM) have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry …

The engineering of carbon nanotubes in the last decades resulted in a variety of
applications in electronics, electrochemistry, and biomedicine. A number of reports also …

Background Salinity stress, an escalating concern in the realm of agriculture, significantly
hampers crop productivity worldwide. In recent years, nano‐fertilizers have been identified …

Herbicides have already reported environmental contamination in several countries with
intense agricultural activity. The transport of these molecules due to leaching and surface …
