Spectroscopy (greek „Ghost seeing“) is the interaction of light and matter. The literal translation is quite appropiate, because with the use of these techniques, not the real molecules/atoms can be seen, but only their images and „shadows“ they produce. The result is a chart, where energy, time, frequency,…. are related, this we call a spectrum. weiterlesen...
Plant Surfaces and Interfaces: Lignin, Suberin and Cutin As plants evolved from aquatic to terrestrial environment complex phenolic compounds (lignin) and natural polyesters (cutin, suberin) have played a major role by building hydrophobic surfaces and interfaces. The deposition of lignin as an additional interface between the cellulose microfibrils and hemicelluloses has been essential weiterlesen...
European Research Consolidator Grant Scattering and tapping on soft-hard-open nuts SCATAPNUT One of the most important evolutionary success stories in plants is the development of seeds encased in maternal tissue, referred to as the seed coat (or testa) 1. The enclosure of the developing embryo affords its protection in many different environments, including harsh conditions weiterlesen...
