Novel insights on the geomagnetic field in West Africa from a new intensity reference curve (0-2000 AD)

Kapper, Lisa ; Serneels, Vincent ; Panovska, Sanja ; Ruíz, Rafael García ; Hellio, Gabrielle ; Groot, Lennart de ; Goguitchaichvili, Avto ; Morales, Juan ; Ruíz, Rubén Cejudo

In: Scientific Reports, 2020, vol. 10, no. 1, p. 1121

The geomagnetic field variations on the continent of Africa are still largely undeciphered for the past two millennia. In spite of archaeological artefacts being reliable recorders of the ancient geomagnetic field strength, only few data have been reported for this continent so far. Here we use the Thellier-Coe and calibrated pseudo- Thellier methods to recover archaeointensity data from...

Accounting for effective interactions among charged microgels

Aguirre-Manzo, L. A. ; Ledesma-Motolinía, Mónica ; Rojas-Ochoa, Luis Fernando ; Trappe, Véronique ; Callejas-Fernández, J. ; Haro-Pérez, Catalina ; González-Mozuelos, P.

In: Physical Review E, 2019, vol. 100, no. 3, p. 032602

We introduce a theoretical approach to describe structural correlations among charged permeable spheres at finite particle concentrations. This theory explicitly accounts for correlations among microions and between microions and macroions and allows for the proposal of an effective interaction among macroions that successfully captures structural correlations observed in poly- N -isopropyl...

Directing single-molecule emission with dna origami-assembled optical antennas

Hübner, Kristina ; Pilo-Pais, Mauricio ; Selbach, Florian ; Liedl, Tim ; Tinnefeld, Philip ; Stefani, Fernando D. ; Acuna, Guillermo P.

In: Nano Letters, 2019, vol. 19, no. 9, p. 6629–6634

We demonstrate the capability of DNA self-assembled optical antennas to direct the emission of an individual fluorophore, which is free to rotate. DNA origami is used to fabricate optical antennas composed of two colloidal gold nanoparticles separated by a predefined gap and to place a single Cy5 fluorophore near the gap center. Although the fluorophore is able to rotate, its excitation and...

Intra and extracellular journey of the phytohormone salicylic acid

Maruri-López, Israel ; Aviles-Baltazar, Norma Yaniri ; Buchala, Antony J. ; Serrano, Mario

In: Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019, vol. 10, p. -

Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone that has been described to play an essential role in the activation and regulation of multiple responses to biotic and to abiotic stresses. In particular, during plant-microbe interactions, as part of the defense mechanisms, SA is initially accumulated at the local infected tissue and then spread all over the plant to induce systemic acquired resistance...

The cuticle mutant eca2 modifies plant defense responses to biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens and herbivory insects

Blanc, Catherine ; Coluccia, Fania ; L?Haridon, Floriane ; Torres, Martha ; Ortiz-Berrocal, Marlene ; Stahl, Elia ; Reymond, Philippe ; Schreiber, Lukas ; Nawrath, Christiane ; Métraux, Jean-Pierre ; Serrano, Mario

In: Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2017, vol. 31, no. 3, p. 344–355

We isolated previously several Arabidopsis thaliana mutants with constitutive expression of the early microbe-associated molecular pattern–induced gene ATL2, named eca (expresión constitutiva de ATL2). Here, we further explored the interaction of eca mutants with pest and pathogens. Of all eca mutants, eca2 was more resistant to a fungal pathogen (Botrytis cinerea) and a bacterial pathogen...

Reorganization of interaction networks modulates the persistence of species in late successional stages

Saavedra, Serguei ; Cenci, Simone ; del-Val, Ek ; Boege, Karina ; Rohr, Rudolf P.

In: Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017, vol. 86, no. 5, p. 1136–1146

Ecological interaction networks constantly reorganize as interspecific interactions change across successional stages and environmental gradients. This reorganization can also be associated with the extent to which species change their preference for types of niches available in their local sites. Despite the pervasiveness of these interaction changes, previous studies have revealed that...

Interplay of coarsening, aging, and stress hardening impacting the creep behavior of a colloidal gel

Calzolari, D. C. E. ; Bischofberger, Irmgard ; Nazzani, Francesco ; Trappe, Véronique

In: Journal of Rheology, 2017, vol. 61, no. 4, p. 817–831

We explore the dynamical and mechanical characteristics of an evolving gel in diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) and rheometry, aiming to assess how the gel evolution impacts the creep response of the system. Our gel is formed by inducing the aggregation of thermosensitive colloids by a variation in temperature. We find experimental evidence that the long time evolution of this gel is due to...
