Exploring the profile of green consumers: Role of demographics and factors influencing green purchase behavior
Authors: Mehta Pooja , Chahal Harpreet Singh 
Published: June 2024

AbstractIn the past decades, the world has witnessed significant growth in environmental issues such as the generation of waste, climatic changes, and depletion of natural resources. Due to this, there has been a substantial upsurge in consumers who prefer green products. Hence, exploring the stable set of characteristics of green consumers becomes extremely important for organizations to develop customer‐oriented targeting and segmenting strategies. The present study attempts to explore key factors influencing green purchase behavior and the behavioral profile of green consumers in the Indian context. The study surveyed 400 respondents from Punjab. Multivariate analysis was performed to analyze the data. The results of the analysis revealed three distinctive consumer clusters based on green purchase behavior. “Pro‐environmentals” represent the segment of green consumers. Consumers of this cluster were found to be highly environmentally conscious. Besides this, the study confirmed noticeable differences in the three clusters in terms of gender, age, number of children, and marital status. Finally, the results indicated the behavioral profile of green and non‐green consumers and explained prominent differences between the three clusters. This knowledge shall enable marketers to design tailor‐made marketing strategies focusing on the specific needs of each consumer cluster.

Published: June 2024

AbstractMany studies have reported that additive manufactured ceramic lattices with microarchitectures often exhibit low‐strain brittle fracture behavior. In this work, the fracture behavior of ceramic triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattices was optimized by introducing a hybrid design strategy that utilizes different microarchitectures. Hybrid ceramic TPMS structures incorporating Gyroid and Primitive unit cells were successfully fabricated using the Lithography‐based ceramics manufacturing (LCM) technique, and their mechanical properties were evaluated under both quasistatic and dynamic compression. The hybrid designs exhibited improved damage tolerance and fracture strength compared to their normal counterparts. Compared to normal Gyroid and Primitive structures, the G2P2 structure exhibits the best energy absorption capacity of 12.5 × 104 J/m3, demonstrating a 13% and 217% increase in energy absorption capacity under quasistatic loading, respectively. Additionally, compared with other normal and hybrid designs, the G2P2 structure exhibits the highest fracture strength of 13.03 MPa under quasistatic loading conditions. Moreover, the P2G hybrid structure displayed a distinct deformation pattern characterized by a smoother stress decrease under quasistatic loading, enhancing damage tolerance. The order of Young's modulus under quasistatic loading was Normal Gyroid ≈ G2P2 > G2P1 > Normal Primitive > P2G. Fracture strength follows the order of G2P2 ≈ Normal Gyroid > Normal Primitive > G2P1 > P2G. The mechanical properties of hybrid TPMS structures suggest that the hybrid design strategy can broaden the achievable range of mechanical properties among ceramic TPMS structures.

Published: June 2024

AbstractCassava mosaic disease (CMD) causes significant losses in cassava production in Africa. The disease is caused by several cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) and spread through the use of infected plant materials. The infected plants remain infected throughout their vegetative lifecycle as the disease cannot be controlled by standard plant protection measures. Therefore, it is important to develop inexpensive field‐based methods that can be easily adopted by small‐scale farmers to sanitize geminiviruses‐infected stem cuttings used as planting material. This study aimed at eliminating CMGs from infected cassava stem cuttings by use of salicylic acid (SA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hot water (HW) treatments. Eight varieties of CMD‐infected stem cuttings were pretreated with SA (1.25, 2.5 and 5 mM), H2O2 (0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%) or hot water (50 and 55°C) at different exposure times before establishment in the glasshouse for evaluation of subsequent plant growth and geminivirus detection. Based on the cassava varieties used for the different treatments, treatment with hot water at 50°C for 5 min and 1.0% H2O2 for 12 h were the most effective in eliminating CMGs with an efficiency of 81.7% and 77.8%, respectively. Salicylic acid at a concentration of 5 mM for 6 h eliminated the viruses in 65.1% of the cuttings. The methods tested herein have the potential for producing planting materials with significantly reduced CMD risk for smallholder farmers and the cassava industry to meet their increasing demand. It could also contribute to the global exchange of germplasm for conservation and breeding programs.

Published: June 2024

AbstractPink root disease (PRD) caused by Setophoma terrestris is a major disease in onion‐producing regions. The fungus primarily infects onion, but occasionally causes disease on other plant species such as cereals, corn, cucurbits, pepper, spinach, and soybean. In this study, we analysed the efficacy of three commercially available fungicides at low dose in two successive years (2020–2021) in the field. These included Priaxor Xemium Brand (fluxapyroxad + pyraclostrobin) at 1.0 or 1.5 L/ha, Lamardor 400 FS (propiconazole + tebuconazole) at 2.5 kg/ha, and Rovral TS (iprodione) at 5.0 kg/ha applied via soil surface irrigation, and also Priaxor as foliar application (1.0 L/ha) against PRD on three onion cultivars: white, red, and yellow. All fungicides were applied thrice within 3‐week intervals from the onset of PRD (mid‐February), and fungicidal efficacy was determined 2 weeks prior to harvest (mid‐May). The lowest PRD severity was recorded for Priaxor 1.5 L/ha at 9.5%, followed by Lamardo at 10.1%, and the remaining treatments compared with the untreated control at 47.7% severity. The highest production (per 100 bulbs) was recorded for Priaxor 1.5 L/ha with 7.36 kg, followed by Lamardo with 6.86 kg and the remaining treatments compared with untreated at 4.33 kg. When treatment effects on soil enzymes were examined prior to harvest, there was no substantial change in urease activity, whereas soil application of Priaxor increased alkaline phosphatase activity by 50% and decreased acidic phosphatase by 42% compared with the untreated control. Our data indicated that fungicides have subtle differences in efficacy profiles, which may translate to improved management against PRD.

Published: June 2024

AbstractQuestionHow does the diversity of successional forests evolve with stand age, and to what extent do permanent plots validate the previously studied successional patterns of tree diversity and composition observed through chronosequences? To evaluate the role of successional forests as reservoirs for many species, it is essential to examine how biodiversity recovers with the age of the stand. We studied patterns of taxonomic and functional diversity, as well as species composition during forest succession, by combining chronosequences and permanent plot monitoring.LocationSubtropical montane forests in NW Argentina.MethodsWe used data from two chronosequences of plots monitored for 30 years in lower and upper montane forests dominated by native trees (LMF‐Native and UMF‐Native), and one chronosequence of plots dominated by the exotic tree Ligustrum lucidum, monitored for 10 years in low montane forests (LMF‐Invaded). We analyzed changes in taxonomic (species richness, Shannon diversity, Simpson diversity) and functional diversity, as well as composition with forest age.ResultsTaxonomic and functional diversity increased between 30 and 70 years of succession in LMF‐Native and UMF‐Native. Successional LMF‐Native forests reached the diversity of mature forests earlier than UMF‐Native. In LMF‐Invaded, taxonomic and functional diversity decreased in the same period because of the increasing dominance of the exotic species Ligustrum lucidum. In non‐invaded chronosequences (LMF‐Native and UMF‐Native) we observed a convergence towards the composition of mature forests; however, each successional forest kept its identity for 30 years.ConclusionsDiversity and composition followed different successional trajectories depending on the type of forest. We found that successional patterns, such as changes in taxonomic and functional diversity, predicted with the chronosequence approach, were confirmed with data from plot monitoring. The effects of pre‐abandonment conditions persist in the diversity and composition of successional forests monitored between 10 and 30 years.

Published: June 2024

AbstractCancer is a global health concern influenced by genetics, environment and lifestyle choices. Recent research shows that a ketogenic diet (KD) might ease cancer symptoms and reduce tumour size. We hypothesised that the KD could result in improvements in cancer‐related variables. Therefore, this study aims to perform a systematic review and meta‐analysis to assess the KD's efficacy for patients with cancer. The databases PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science, CINAHL and Open Grey were utilised for conducting a systematic review and meta‐analysis. The analysis was limited to randomised controlled trials with adult participants aged 18 years and above. Levels of glucose, cholesterol, insulin‐like growth factor 1, weight and quality of life were evaluated following the KD. After identifying 596 articles in the initial search, eight studies, lasting between 4 and 16 weeks, were included in the systematic review and seven in the meta‐analysis. The KD led to decreased glucose levels in patients with cancer but did not show significant improvements in cholesterol, insulin‐like growth factor 1, weight or quality of life. Based on the results of this systematic review and meta‐analysis, there is insufficient evidence to establish a definitive link between the KD and cancer‐related parameters. While some studies suggest potential benefits in terms of some outcomes and tumour size reduction, further research is required to fully comprehend the effects of this diet.

Summary

Rice tillering is one of the most important agronomical traits largely determining grain yield. Photosynthesis and nitrogen availability are two important factors affecting rice tiller bud elongation; however, underlying mechanism and their cross‐talk is poorly understood.

Here, we used map‐based cloning, transcriptome profiling, phenotypic analysis, and molecular genetics to understand the roles of the Decreased Tiller Number 1 (DTN1) gene that encodes the fructose‐1,6‐bisphosphate aldolase and involves in photosynthesis required for light‐induced axillary bud elongation in rice.

Deficiency of DTN1 results in the reduced photosynthetic rate and decreased contents of sucrose and other sugars in both leaves and axillary buds, and the reduced tiller number in dtn1 mutant could be partially rescued by exogenous sucrose treatment. Furthermore, we found that the expression of nitrogen‐mediated tiller growth response 5 (NGR5) was remarkably decreased in shoot base of dtn1‐2, which can be activated by sucrose treatment. Overexpression of NGR5 in the dtn1‐2 could partially rescue the reduced tiller number, and the tiller number of dtn1‐2 was insensitive to nitrogen supply.

This work demonstrated that the sugar level regulated by photosynthesis and DTN1 could positively regulate NGR5 expression, which coordinates the cross‐talk between carbon and nitrate to control tiller bud outgrowth in rice.

AbstractA short period of exposure to elevated CO2 is known to decrease evapotranspiration via stomatal closure. Based on theoretical evaluation of a canopy transpiration model, we hypothesized that this decrease in the evapotranspiration of rice under elevated CO2 was greater under higher temperature conditions due to an increased sensitivity of transpiration to changes in CO2 induced by the greater vapour pressure deficit. In a temperature gradient chamber‐based experiment, a 200 ppm increase in CO2 concentration led to 0.4 mm (−7%) and 1.5 mm (−15%) decreases in 12 h evapotranspiration under ambient temperature and high temperature (+3.7°C) conditions, respectively. Model simulations revealed that the greater vapour pressure deficit under higher temperature conditions explained the variations in the reduction of evapotranspiration observed under elevated CO2 levels between the temperature treatments. Our study suggests the utility of a simple modelling framework for mechanistic understanding of evapotranspiration and crop energy balance system under changing environmental conditions.

AbstractDuring microspore embryogenesis, microspores are induced to develop into haploid embryos. In Brassica napus, microspore embryogenesis is induced by a heat shock (HS), which initially produces embryogenic structures with different cell wall architectures and compositions, and with different potentials to develop into embryos. The B. napus DH4079 and DH12075 genotypes have high and very low embryo yields, respectively. In DH12075, embryo yield is greatly increased by combining HS and the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA). However, we show that HS + TSA inhibits embryogenesis in the highly embryogenic DH4079 line. To ascertain why TSA has such different effects in these lines, we treated DH4079 and DH12075 microspore cultures with TSA and compared the cell wall structure and composition of the different embryogenic structures in both lines, specifically the in situ levels and distribution of callose, cellulose, arabinogalactan proteins and high and low methyl‐esterified pectin. For both lines, HS + TSA led to the formation of cell walls unfavorable for embryogenesis progression, with reduced levels of arabinogalactan proteins, reduced cell adhesion of inner walls and altered pectin composition. Thus, TSA effects on cell walls cannot explain their different embryogenic response to TSA. We also applied TSA to DH4079 cultures at different times and concentrations before HS application, with no negative effects on embryogenic induction. These results indicate that DH4079 microspores are hypersensitive to combined TSA and HS treatments, and open up new hypotheses about the causes of such hypersensitivity.

SUMMARYSeptoria nodorum blotch (SNB), caused by Parastagonospora nodorum, is a disease of durum and common wheat initiated by the recognition of pathogen‐produced necrotrophic effectors (NEs) by specific wheat genes. The wheat gene Snn1 was previously cloned, and it encodes a wall‐associated kinase that directly interacts with the NE SnTox1 leading to programmed cell death and ultimately the development of SNB. Here, sequence analysis of Snn1 from 114 accessions including diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid wheat species revealed that some wheat lines possess two copies of Snn1 (designated Snn1‐B1 and Snn1‐B2) approximately 120 kb apart. Snn1‐B2 evolved relatively recently as a paralog of Snn1‐B1, and both genes have undergone diversifying selection. Three point mutations associated with the formation of the first SnTox1‐sensitive Snn1‐B1 allele from a primitive wild wheat were identified. Four subsequent and independent SNPs, three in Snn1‐B1 and one in Snn1‐B2, converted the sensitive alleles to insensitive forms. Protein modeling indicated these four mutations could abolish Snn1–SnTox1 compatibility either through destabilization of the Snn1 protein or direct disruption of the protein–protein interaction. A high‐throughput marker was developed for the absent allele of Snn1, and it was 100% accurate at predicting SnTox1‐insensitive lines in both durum and spring wheat. Results of this study increase our understanding of the evolution, diversity, and function of Snn1‐B1 and Snn1‐B2 genes and will be useful for marker‐assisted elimination of these genes for better host resistance.

ABSTRACTAttack of donor tissues by pre‐formed anti‐pig antibodies is well known to cause graft failure in xenotransplantation. Genetic engineering of porcine donors to eliminate targets of these pre‐formed antibodies coupled with advances in immunosuppressive medicines have now made it possible to achieve extended survival in the pre‐clinical pig‐to‐non‐human primate model. Despite these improvements, antibodies remain a risk over the lifetime of the transplant, and many patients continue to have pre‐formed donor‐specific antibodies even to highly engineered pigs. While therapeutics exist that can help mitigate the detrimental effects of antibodies, they act broadly potentially dampening beneficial immunity. Identifying additional xenoantigens may enable more targeted approaches, such as gene editing, to overcome these challenges by further eliminating antibody targets on donor tissue. Because we have found that classical class I swine leukocyte antigens are targets of human antibodies, we now examine whether related pig proteins may also be targeted by human antibodies. We show here that non‐classical class I swine leukocyte proteins (SLA‐6, ‐7, ‐8) can be expressed at the surface of mammalian cells and act as antibody targets.
Detectability of Breast Cancer Through Inverse Heat Transfer Modeling Using Patient-Specific Surface Temperatures

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Breast cancer in women is a prevalent disease that takes over 680,000 lives each year worldwide. Early detection of breast cancer through screening has played a significant role in reducing the mortality rates. The current screening paradigm has shown the difficulties in detecting cancers for patients with dense breasts, small and deep tumors, and cancer types that are difficult to visualize. Infrared imaging (IRI) aided by advanced thermal analysis of the breast has shown great promise in detecting cancer using surface temperatures effected by a metabolically active and highly perfused tumor region. We previously developed an inverse heat transfer approach to detect the presence and absence of breast cancer using IRI, called the IRI-Numerical Engine. It was validated with 23 biopsy-proven breast cancer patients irrespective of breast density and cancer type at various tumor depths (0.95 cm–5.45 cm from the breast surface). The current work is aimed to obtain the detectability limit of the IRI-Numerical Engine by testing the capability of detecting 10–20 mm tumors at various depths in patient-specific digital breast models (DBMs). In addition, a study on the effect of tumor size, tumor location, breast shape, and breast size on the surface temperatures of patient-specific models was conducted to verify that an IR camera could capture these surface temperature distributions. The algorithm was able to detect the presence of a tumor at various depths, and deep tumors are detectable given the appropriate thermal sensitive IR camera.
