Robust monomer-distribution biosignatures in evolving digital biota [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Because organisms synthesize component molecules at rates that reflect those molecules' adaptive utility, we expect a population of biota to leave a distinctive chemical signature on their environment that is anomalous given the local (abiotic) chemistry.

Enhancing the compatibility of abiotic and biological components for efficient nitrogen fixation

open access: yesChem Catalysis, 2021
The realization of compatibility between the abiotic and biological components is critically important for building a successful hybrid biological/inorganic system. In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Lu et al. demonstrate a prototype hybrid system along with a unique methodology to enhance the communication between the abiotic and biological components ...

Insights into the Effects of Hydroxycinnamic Acid and Its Secondary Metabolites as Antioxidants for Oxidative Stress and Plant Growth under Environmental Stresses

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
Plant immobility renders plants constantly susceptible to various abiotic and biotic stresses. Abiotic and biotic stresses are known to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause comparable cellular secondary reactions (osmotic or oxidative ...

Transcriptome pathways unique to dehydration tolerant relatives of modern wheat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Among abiotic stressors, drought is a major factor responsible for dramatic yield loss in agriculture. In order to reveal differences in global expression profiles of drought tolerant and sensitive wild emmer wheat genotypes, a previously deployed shock ...

Plant Biostimulants: Importance of the Quality and Yield of Horticultural Crops and the Improvement of Plant Tolerance to Abiotic Stress—A Review

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
Biostimulants are among the natural preparations that improve the general health, vitality, and growth of plants and protect them against infections. They can be successfully used in both agri- and horticultural crops.

The Origin of Life: Models and Data. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A general framework for conventional models of the origin of life (OOL) is the specification of a 'privileged function.' A privileged function is an extant biological function that is excised from its biological context, elevated in importance over other

Effects of abiotic components induced by biochar on microbial communities

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B - Soil & Plant Science, 2013
Soil microorganisms play an important role on ecosystems and are influenced by a variety of abiotic and biotic variables. The influence of biochar on the microbial community has been reported, but its mechanism modifying soil microbial distribution is less understood.

Plant cell wall integrity maintenance as an essential component of biotic stress response mechanisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Plant cell walls provide structural support during development and represent the first line of defense against biotic and abiotic stress. In recent years evidence has accumulated that a dedicated plant cell wall integrity maintenance mechanism exists ...
