Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Genome size is known to influence phenotypic traits in leaves and seeds. Although genome size is closely related to cellular and developmental traits across biological kingdoms, floral longevity is a floral trait with important fitness consequence, but ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Relationships between ribotypic and phenotypic traits of protists across life cycle stages remain largely unknown. Herein, we used single cells of two soil and two marine ciliate species to examine phenotypic and ribotypic traits and their relationships ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 To accommodate surplus energy, the adipose tissue expands by increasing adipocyte size (hypertrophy) and number (hyperplasia). The presence of hypertrophic adipocytes is a key characteristic of adipose tissue dysfunction. High-fat diet (HFD) fed C57BL/6J

Physically asymmetric division of the C. elegans zygote ensures invariably successful embryogenesis
eLife, 2021 Asymmetric divisions that yield daughter cells of different sizes are frequent during early embryogenesis, but the importance of such a physical difference for successful development remains poorly understood.

Dynamics of cell mass and size control in multicellular systems and the human body
Journal of Biological Research - Thessaloniki, 2022 Cellular processes, in particular homeostasis and growth, require an intricate and complex exchange of matter between a cell and its surroundings. Yet experimental difficulties have prevented a detailed description of the dynamics of a cell’s mass and ...

Revisiting the hypothesis of an energetic barrier to genome complexity between eukaryotes and prokaryotes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The absence of genome complexity in prokaryotes, being the evolutionary precursors to eukaryotic cells comprising all complex life (the prokaryote–eukaryote divide), is a long-standing question in evolutionary biology.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Every type of cell in an animal maintains a specific size, which likely contributes to its ability to perform its physiological functions. While some cell size control mechanisms are beginning to be elucidated through studies of cultured cells, it is ...

Temperature Responses of Heterotrophic Bacteria in Co-culture With a Red Sea Synechococcus Strain
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Interactions between autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria are fundamental for marine biogeochemical cycling. How global warming will affect the dynamics of these essential microbial players is not fully understood.

A Competitive Advantage of Middle-Sized Diatoms From Increasing Seawater CO2
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Diatoms, one of the most important phytoplankton groups, fulfill their carbon demand from seawater mainly by obtaining passively diffused carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or actively consuming intracellular energy to acquire bicarbonate (HCO3–).

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Each bacterial species possesses a specific cell size and morphology, which constitute important and recognizable physical traits. How bacteria maintain their particular cell size and morphology remains an essential question in microbiology ...
