Effect of temperature acclimation period on upper thermal tolerance in a terrestrial salamander [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Physiological traits, such as the critical thermal maximum (CTmax, defined as an individual’s upper thermal tolerance limit), can be important for understanding species’ vulnerability to climate and habitat change.

Time-series RNA-Seq transcriptome profiling reveals novel insights about cold acclimation and de-acclimation processes in an evergreen shrub of high altitude

Scientific Reports, 2022
The high-altitude alpine regions are characterized by highly variable and harsh environmental conditions. However, relatively little is known about the diverse mechanisms adopted by alpine plants to adapt to these stressful conditions.

Reproductive acclimation to increased water temperature in a tropical reef fish. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Understanding the capacity of organisms to cope with projected global warming through acclimation and adaptation is critical to predicting their likely future persistence.

Generalist–specialist trade-off during thermal acclimation [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
The shape of performance curves and their plasticity define how individuals and populations respond to environmental variability. In theory, maximum performance decreases with an increase in performance breadth.

The Higher the Needs, the Lower the Tolerance: Extreme Events May Select Ectotherm Recruits With Lower Metabolic Demand and Heat Sensitivity

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Ongoing climate warming demands a better understanding of whether or how the ectotherms that evolved in response to fluctuating stress regimes may acquire increased heat tolerance.

The Relationship between the Antioxidant System and Proline Metabolism in the Leaves of Cucumber Plants Acclimated to Salt Stress

Cells, 2021
The study examines the effect of acclimation on the antioxidant system and proline metabolism in cucumber leaves subjected to 100 and 150 NaCl stress.

Translational Components Contribute to Acclimation Responses to High Light, Heat, and Cold in Arabidopsis

iScience, 2020
Summary: Plant metabolism is broadly reprogrammed during acclimation to abiotic changes. Most previous studies have focused on transitions from standard to single stressful conditions.

A Model of C4 Photosynthetic Acclimation Based on Least‐Cost Optimality Theory Suitable for Earth System Model Incorporation

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022
Empirical studies have shown that plant photosynthetic responses to environmental change can vary over time due to acclimation, but acclimation responses are often not included in Earth System Models.

Lemna as a Sustainable, Highly Nutritious Crop: Nutrient Production in Different Light Environments

Nutraceuticals, 2022
Development of a nutritious, sustainable food source is essential to address worldwide deficiencies in human micronutrients. Aquatic floating plants (e.g., species in the family Lemnaceae, duckweeds) are uniquely suited for area-efficient productivity ...
