The mass-transfer characteristics of bubbles rising in yield stress fluids was investigated numerically using volume-of-fluid and user-defined function methods in this study. The CO concentration profiles inside the liquid phase near the bubble equator at different bubble diameters, yield stresses, consistency coefficients, and flow indices were observed. The results revealed that the rate of mass transfer decreased with the increase of yield stress, consistency coefficient, and flow index of the liquid phase and the decrease of bubble diameter. Moreover, two empirical correlations for the drag coefficients and Sherwood numbers were developed by introducing one correction factor for correlation and another correction factor for Sherwood numbers for correcting the influence of yield stress behavior on bubble motion and mass transfer, respectively. The predictions of the two correlations were compared with the simulated data, and a satisfactory agreement was found.

Selenium is an essential trace element in many organisms but becomes toxic at elevated concentrations. At moderately increased, non-lethal levels, selenite triggers both selenium utilization and stress responses in microorganisms. However, the thresholds of such responses in archaea remain poorly understood.

Endophytic fungi are nonpathogenic fungi that live symbiotically in the interior of healthy plant tissues and form mutualistic associations with their hosts. These fungi are critically involved in promoting plant development, strengthening plant uptake of nutrients, and improving plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Endophytic fungi improve plant growth by synthesizing phytohormones (e.

Legumes are essential for agriculture and food security. Biotic and abiotic stresses pose significant challenges to legume production, lowering productivity levels. Most legumes must be genetically improved by introducing alleles that give pest and disease resistance, abiotic stress adaptability, and high yield potential.

Drought has a major impact on crop yields. Silicon (Si) application has been proposed to improve drought resilience via several mechanisms including modifying the level of stomatal gas exchange. However, the impact of Si on transpiration and stomatal conductance varies between studies.

Just as Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance laid the foundation for modern genetics, the emergence of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas systems has catalyzed a new era in precision genome engineering. CRISPR/Cas has revolutionized rice ( L.) breeding by enabling precise, transgene-free edits to improve yield, nutrition, and stress tolerance.
