Universal Biosignatures for the Detection of Life

, 2005
My goal is to identify processes of life that leave measurable effects on an organism's environment, but which are not tied to any particular biochemistry, in order to build a conceptual framework for the search for extraterrestrial life.

3D Chromatin Architecture Provides Insights Into Leaf Trait Variation Among Pear Species

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture plays a fundamental role in eukaryotic gene regulations, its functional significance in perennial fruit trees remains poorly characterized despite extensive applications in crop genomics. Here, we developed high‐resolution (∼5 kb) Hi‐C maps of Pyrus and compared 3D genomic architecture of three ...

Redox Homeostasis via Gene Families of Ascorbate-Glutathione Pathway

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2015
The imposition of environmental stresses on plants brings about disturbance in their metabolism thereby negatively affecting their growth and development and leading to reduction in the productivity. One of the manifestations of abiotic and biotic stress

Mycobacterium avium Possesses Extracellular DNA that Contributes to Biofilm Formation, Structural Integrity, and Tolerance to Antibiotics. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis is an opportunistic pathogen that is associated with biofilm-related infections of the respiratory tract and is difficult to treat. In recent years, extracellular DNA (eDNA) has been found to be a major component of

eQTL Meta‐Analysis Reveals Conserved and Population‐Specific Regulatory Variation Underlying Nutritional Trait Evolution and Domestication in Tomato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A comprehensive meta‐analysis of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) across five diverse tomato populations reveals a high‐resolution atlas of transcriptional regulation and uncovers conserved and population‐specific regulatory architectures underlying fruit nutritional quality traits, including flavonoids, sugars, organic acids, carotenoids ...

Influence of some environmental variables on the diversity and distribution of aquatic oligochaetes (Clitellata: Annelida) in the Nyong estuary (Atlantic coast, southern Cameroon)

Scientific African
Tropical estuarine ecosystems are subject to strong anthropogenic pressures, with the direct consequence of declining or lost biodiversity. An essential and little-known biological component of these estuarine ecosystems is the population of oligochaete ...

Transcriptome Changes Reveal the Molecular Mechanisms of Humic Acid-Induced Salt Stress Tolerance in Arabidopsis

Molecules, 2021
Humic acid (HA) is a principal component of humic substances, which make up the complex organic matter that broadly exists in soil environments. HA promotes plant development as well as stress tolerance, however the precise molecular mechanism for these ...

Aspects for Priority Protection Assessment of Abiotic Components to Oil Exposure

KnE Life Sciences, 2020
The analytical review was prepared to assess coefficients of priority protection the features of special significance for mapping the vulnerability of marine coastal zones from oil pollution. Nowadays, this issue is a rather complex scientific problem, because there is no consensus on how to evaluate, calculate and how to present them.
