Plant resistance to drought depends on timely stomatal closure

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2017
Stomata play a significant role in the Earth's water and carbon cycles, by regulating gaseous exchanges between the plant and the atmosphere. Under drought conditions, stomatal control of transpiration has long been thought to be closely coordinated with

An autophagy assay reveals the ESCRT-III component CHMP2A as a regulator of phagophore closure

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The mechanism of phagophore closure remains unclear due to technical limitations in distinguishing unclosed and closed autophagosomal membranes. Here, we report the HaloTag-LC3 autophagosome completion assay that specifically detects phagophores, nascent

Primary angle closure glaucoma: What we know and what we don’t know

open access: yesProgress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2017
&NA; Primary angle‐closure glaucoma (PACG) is a common cause of blindness. Angle closure is a fundamental pathologic process in PAGC. With the development of imaging devices for the anterior segment of the eye, a better understanding of the pathogenesis ...

The Hydrogeological Conditions as a Crucial Factor for Creating Pit Lakes: The Case of Kyparissia Mine in Megalopolis, Greece

open access: yesMaterials Proceedings, 2023
Hydrogeological conditions constitute a crucial factor during mining excavations. However, they could also define when and how rapidly the final pit voids will be filled with water after mine closure.

Abscisic Acid-Induced Stomatal Closure: An Important Component of Plant Defense Against Abiotic and Biotic Stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a stress hormone that accumulates under different abiotic and biotic stresses. A typical effect of ABA on leaves is to reduce transpirational water loss by closing stomata and parallelly defend against microbes by restricting their
