The Interplay of Dispersion and Thermal Shock in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Biofilms

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathological bacterial biofilms formed on medical implants pose a significant challenge in clinical settings due to their resistance to antibiotics and the host immune response. Eradication of these biofilms by thermal shock has gained increasing attention as a means of eliminating these infections.

Transcriptomic insights into drought response in wild Arachis relatives A. dardani and A. ipaënsis

BMC Plant Biology
Drought is a major environmental constraint limiting global peanut productivity. Wild peanut species, characterized by greater genetic diversity, represent valuable resources for improving drought resilience in cultivated peanut.

Coordination of Foliar and Wood Anatomical Traits Contributes to Tropical Tree Distributions and Productivity along the Malay-Thai Peninsula [PDF]

, 2009
Drought is a critical factor in plant species distributions. Much research points to its relevance even in moist tropical regions. Recent studies have begun to elucidate mechanisms underlying the distributions of tropical tree species with respect to ...

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.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Auxin-sensitive Aux/IAA proteins mediate drought tolerance in Arabidopsis by regulating glucosinolate levels. [PDF]

, 2019
A detailed understanding of abiotic stress tolerance in plants is essential to provide food security in the face of increasingly harsh climatic conditions. Glucosinolates (GLSs) are secondary metabolites found in the Brassicaceae that protect plants from

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

In vitro screening of four genotypes of citrus for salt tolerance : S08P07 [PDF]

, 2012
Soil and water salinity is an important abiotic stress that can affect both production and quality of citrus. The use of tolerant rootstocks in these conditions would be the solution the most used.

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Plant Responses to Heavy Metal Stresses: Mechanisms, Defense Strategies, and Nanoparticle-Assisted Remediation

Plants
Heavy metal (HM) contamination threatens environmental sustainability, food safety, and agricultural productivity worldwide. HM toxicity adversely affects plant growth, reducing germination rates by 20–50%, impairing seedling establishment, and ...
