TL;DR: In this paper, the corrosion behavior of pure titanium was investigated in 0.05 m H2SO4 solution with fluoride ions using various electrochemical techniques, such as open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance measurements (EIS), and surface analyses via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

TL;DR: It is proposed that VLN5 is a major regulator of actin filament stability and turnover that functions in concert with oscillatory calcium gradients in pollen and therefore plays an integral role in pollen germination and tube growth.

TL;DR: It is shown that Arabidopsis thaliana formin3 (AFH3) is an actin nucleation factor responsible for the formation of longitudinal actin cables in pollen tubes, which are important for cytoplasmic streaming and polarized growth in pollenubes.

TL;DR: A rice formin protein is identified that regulates de novo actin nucleation and spatial organization of the actin filaments, which are important for proper cell expansion and rice morphogenesis.

TL;DR: It is suggested that ADF7 evolved to promote turnover of longitudinal actin cables by severing actin filaments in pollen tubes by inhibiting nucleotide exchange on actin and severs filaments, which is less potent than those of the vegetative ADF1.
