Diatoms Are Selective Segregators in Global Ocean Planktonic Communities

mSystems, 2020
Diatoms are a major component of phytoplankton, believed to be responsible for around 20% of the annual primary production on Earth. As abundant and ubiquitous organisms, they are known to establish biotic interactions with many other members of plankton.

Cytokinin Sensing in Bacteria

Biomolecules, 2020
Although it has long been known that bacteria detect and react to plant chemicals to establish an interaction, the cellular signaling mechanisms involved in these perception processes have hitherto remained obscure.

Partitioning of net CO2 exchanges at the city-atmosphere interface into biotic and abiotic components

MethodsX, 2021
Eddy covariance (EC) method has been used to measure CO2 fluxes over various ecosystems. Recently, the EC method has been also deployed in urban areas to measure CO2 fluxes. Urban carbon cycle is complex because of the additional anthropogenic processes unlike natural ecosystems but the EC method only measures the net sum of all CO2 sources and sink ...

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

Current 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 ...

Evaluation and identification of wild lentil accessions for enhancing genetic gains of cultivated varieties.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Domesticated lentil has a relatively narrow genetic base globally and most released varieties are susceptible to severe biotic and abiotic stresses. The crop wild relatives could provide new traits of interest for tailoring novel germplasm and cultivated

Measuring and Linking the Missing Part of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function: The Diversity of Biotic Interactions

Diversity, 2020
Biotic interactions are part of all ecosystem attributes and play an important role in the structure and stability of biological communities. In this study, we give a brief account of how the threads of biotic interactions are linked and how we can ...

The Potential of Planets Orbiting Red Dwarf Stars to Support Oxygenic Photosynthesis and Complex Life [PDF]

International Journal of Astrobiology, 2017, volume 16, issue 01, pp. 1-9, 2015
We review the latest findings on extra-solar planets and their potential to support Earth-like life. Focusing on planets orbiting Red Dwarf (RD) stars, the most abundant stellar type, we show that including RDs as potential host stars could increase the probability of finding biotic planets by a factor of up to a thousand, and reduce the estimate of ...

Structure and character analysis of cotton response regulator genes family reveals that GhRR7 responses to draught stress

Biological Research, 2022
Background Cytokinin signal transduction is mediated by a two-component system (TCS). Two-component systems are utilized in plant responses to hormones as well as to biotic and abiotic environmental stimuli. In plants, response regulatory genes (RRs) are

Species diversity pattern and its drivers of the understory herbaceous plants in a Chinese subtropical forest

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Understory herbaceous plants are an important component of forest ecosystems, playing important roles in species diversity and forest dynamics in forests.
