Role of miRNAs in Legume Crops in Response to Biotic and Abiotic Stress

open access: yesJournal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2017
Legumes are special group of nitrogen-fixing plants that are an essential component of cropping system and important source of food/feed for human/animal consumption.

The Influence of Taxonomy and Environment on Leaf Trait Variation Along Tropical Abiotic Gradients

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Deconstructing functional trait variation and co-variation across a wide range of environmental conditions is necessary to increase the mechanistic understanding of community assembly processes and improve current parameterization of dynamic vegetation ...

Aggregation of two imperfectly detected imperilled freshwater fishes: understanding community structure and co-occurrence for multispecies conservation

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2019
Characterizing critical habitat for endangered species is the first step for effective conservation and relies on knowledge of the abiotic conditions that promote species occurrence.

A Complex Systems Approach to Exoplanet Atmospheric Chemistry: New Prospects for Ruling Out the Possibility of Alien Life-As-We-Know-It [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The near-term capability to characterize terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres may bring us closer to discovering alien life through atmospheric data. However, remotely detectable candidate biosignature gases are subject to false positive signals because they can also be produced abiotically, raising a critical need to develop methods to determine whether ...

Stability of organic molecules against shocks in the young Solar nebula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
One of the fundamental astrobiology questions is how life has formed in our Solar System. In this context the formation and stability of abiotic organic molecules such as CH4, formic acid and amino acids, is important for understanding how organic material has formed and survived shocks and energetic particle impact from winds in the early Solar System.

Implications of Abiotic Oxygen Buildup for Earth-like Complex Life [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, Vol. 159, No. 4, 144 (2020), 2020
One of the chief paradoxes of molecular oxygen (O$_2$) is that it is an essential requirement for multicellular eukaryotes on Earth while simultaneously posing a threat to their survival via the formation of reactive oxygen species. In this paper, the constraints imposed by O$_2$ on Earth-like complex life are invoked to explore whether worlds with ...

The C2H2 zinc finger protein TaZFP13D increases drought stress tolerance in wheat

open access: yesPlant Stress, 2022
Wheat is one of the most cultivated crops, and its production is greatly affected by abiotic stresses such as drought. Transcription factors that regulate multiple downstream genes have a good potential to improve stress tolerance due to their ability to

Large ecosystems in transition: bifurcations and mass extinction [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Complexity, 2017, 2014
We propose a model of multispecies populations surviving on distributed resources. System dynamics are investigated under changes in abiotic factors such as the climate, as parameterized through environmental temperature. In particular, we introduce a feedback between species abundances and resources via abiotic factors.

Fish larvae from the upper Paraná River: do abiotic factors affect larval density?

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of abiotic factors on fish larvae occurrence. Samplings were carried out monthly at 12 stations (grouped in four areas) in the Amambaí, Ivaí and Paraná rivers and in the Itaipu Reservoir (upper Paraná ...
