Discover the fascinating journey of tannins under the microscope. Vegetable extracts and members of the polyphenol family, tannins are not just chemical compounds; they are a bridge between different species and kingdoms, acting as messengers of the plant world. These polyphenols boast unique properties, such as their role in stabilising animal proteins, modulating microbiota and reducing GHG emissions in the atmosphere. Learn more about the unparalleled benefits of tannins for plants, animals and humans, and how they contribute to protecting our forest heritage and promoting economic development in rural areas. Let’s appreciate the virtues of tannin together! Read the full article "Tannin under the microscope" here: https://lnkd.in/gtdY-bP    #Tannins #Sustainability #Innovation #Science

Check this out! 👇 APT's Steve Killops is the lead author - along with APT and industry colleagues - for an article published in 'Frontiers in Geochemistry' on "Sedimentary diterpane origins—inferences from oils of varying source depositional environment and age." The paper discusses C20 tricyclic and tetracyclic diterpane distributions in oils (and by extension, rock extracts) as an aid in the interpretation of sources of organic matter and depositional environments—spanning carbonate, marl, freshwater and saline lacustrine, normal marine and transitional—from the Neoproterozoic to the Neogene.

☘ In an age where energy sources are challenge for humanity, it is striking that plants absorb more energy than they can utilize and have evolved sophisticated mechanisms (such as NPQ) for safely removing it (Murchie and Ruban, 2019). Happy to share our recent paper published in Physiologia plantarum, which provides a new insight into non-photochemical quenching in plants exposed to excess light (https://lnkd.in/dNi2yWbf).

Are you curious about how different Zn forms are foliarly absorbed by pepper plants? 🌱 In our latest study we used X-ray analysis at the ESRF - The European Synchrotron beamline ID21 to better understand the plant mechanisms involved. Check out our spotlight ⬇️

📚 Excited to share our (Anya Allen) latest publication on Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM)! Our research reveals how the protonation state of DOM significantly influences its structure, function, and the formation of photochemically produced reactive intermediates in environmental systems.

Heterorhaditis is a bug-killing nematode. It can turn the insides of an insect into goop, then it reproduces in the insect's carcass. This paper reports on the virulence of six Heterorhabditis bacteriophora strains from the Azorean Archipelago. https://t.co/jTUR7Z87s4
