Rupture of an air bubble on the solid surfaces

We investigate behavior of bouncing and rupturing air bubbles on solid surfaces experimentally.We focus our attention to how the hydrophilicity of the solid surface alters the rupture process.We observe motion of the single bubble of a fixed diameter on several flat glass plates using high-speed cameras.In this experiment, we use two kinds of plate

In-depth evaluation of root infection systems using the vascular fungus Verticillium longisporum as soil-borne model pathogen

Abstract Background While leaves are far more accessible for analysing plant defences, roots are hidden in the soil, leading to difficulties in studying soil-borne interactions.Inoculation strategies for infecting model plants with model root pathogens are described in the literature, but it remains demanding to obtain a methodological overview.To
