Studies on temperature acclimation in the freshwater pulmonate mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis (L.) [PDF]
PhDThis work is concerned with processes of thermal acclimation in the freshwater pulmonate, Lymnaea stagnalis. Three physiological functions were studied: heart rate, rate of oxygen consumption and assimilation efficiency, Seasonal changes in rate ...

Background Closely related species of the carp family (Cyprinidae) have evolved distinctive abilities to survive under cold stress, but molecular mechanisms underlying the generation of cold resistance remain largely unknown.

Genome-wide identification of CBF genes and their responses to cold acclimation in Taraxacum kok-saghyz [PDF]
C-repeat binding factors (CBFs) are transcription factors that are known to play important roles in plant cold acclimation. They are highly conserved in most higher plants.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous single-stranded RNAs that regulate plant growth, development, and environmental stress response posttranscriptionally. Ammopiptanthus nanus, a rare evergreen broad-leaved shrub in the temperate area of Central Asia,

Cold Acclimation for Enhancing the Cold Tolerance of Zebrafish Cells [PDF]
Cold stress is an important threat in the life history of fish. However, current research on the tolerance mechanisms of fish to cold stress is incomplete. To explore the relevant molecular mechanisms enabling cold stress tolerance in fish, here we studied ZF4 cells subjected to short-term (4 days) low temperature stress and long-term (3 months) low ...

Biomechanical Acclimation: Flying Cold [PDF]
Why are animals reared at colder temperatures larger? A new study shows that fruit flies reared at lower temperatures are better able to fly in the cold.

Narrow distribution patterns of tropical Drosophila species are limited by lower resistance to cold or drought. In the invasive tropical Drosophila kikkawai, we tested whether developmental and adult acclimations at cooler temperatures could enhance its ...

Effect of Cold Acclimation on Antioxidant Status in Cold Acclimated Skaters
We investigated whether cold acclimation leads to increased activity of the antioxidant defense enzymes and muscle injury. Comparisons were between short track skaters (n=6) and inline skaters (n=6) during rest and at submaximal cycling (65% VO2max) in cold (ambient temperature: 5+/-1 degrees C, relative humidity: 41+/-8%) and warm conditions (ambient ...

Effects of chronic cold treatment on root elongation and gene expression in "Arabidopsis thaliana" [PDF]
Low temperature is a major limitation of plant growth. Cold adaptation is important for the survival and distribution of plant species at high elevations and high latitudes.

Chickpea is sensitive to cold stress, especially at reproductive stage, resulting in flower and pod abortion that significantly reduces seed yield. In the present study, we evaluated (a) whether cold acclimation imparts reproductive cold tolerance in ...
