An interactive art activity to promote student reflection and learning about host-microbe interactions

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education
The use of art in science teaching can effectively help students understand complex and abstract concepts, particularly in the fields of Microbiology and Microbial Ecology, where the study objects—the microbes—are invisible to human eyes.

Abiotic factors influencing tropical dry forests regeneration [PDF]

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2006
Tropical dry forests represent nearly half the tropical forests in the world and are the ecosystems registering the greatest deterioration from the anthropogenic exploitation of the land. This paper presents a review on the dynamics of tropical dry forests regeneration and the main abiotic factors influencing this regeneration, such as seasonal nature,

Modeling pN2 through Geological Time: Implications for Planetary Climates and Atmospheric Biosignatures [PDF]

, 2016
Nitrogen is a major nutrient for all life on Earth and could plausibly play a similar role in extraterrestrial biospheres. The major reservoir of nitrogen at Earth's surface is atmospheric N2, but recent studies have proposed that the size of this ...

Emerging connections between small RNAs and phytohormones [PDF]

, 2020
Small RNAs (sRNAs), mainly including miRNAs and siRNAs, are ubiquitous in eukaryotes. sRNAs mostly negatively regulate gene expression via (post-)transcriptional gene silencing through DNA methylation, mRNA cleavage, or translation inhibition.

Microbial Hub Taxa Link Host and Abiotic Factors to Plant Microbiome Variation

PLoS Biology, 2016
Plant-associated microorganisms have been shown to critically affect host physiology and performance, suggesting that evolution and ecology of plants and animals can only be understood in a holobiont (host and its associated organisms) context.

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

, 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 ...

Reproductive Den Habitat Characterization of American Badgers (\u3cem\u3eTaxidea taxus\u3c/em\u3e) in Central California [PDF]

, 2010
The American badger (Taxidea taxus) is a species of special concern in California, and, as such, conservation measures are necessary. The goal of this study was to identify potential reproductive den habitat characteristics in order to more accurately ...

Biotic and anthropogenic forces rival climatic/abiotic factors in determining global plant population growth and fitness

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Knowing which of multiple environmental factors (climate, other species, humans, etc.) most strongly affect wild plants and animals could focus our attention on the future environmental changes most likely to influence biodiversity. However,

Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...

Assessment of UAV Imageries for Estimating Growth Vitality, Yield and Quality of Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) Crops

Remote Sensing
Hops are an essential raw material for beer production and the Czech Republic is not only a traditional hop grower but also participates in the breeding of varieties that are important on a global scale, mainly in terms of quality.
