Non-invasive quantification of cardiac stroke volume in the edible crab Cancer pagurus
Background Brachyuran crabs can effectively modulate cardiac stroke volume independently of heart rate in response to abiotic drivers. Non-invasive techniques can help to improve the understanding of cardiac performance parameters of these animals.

ABSTRACT Soybeans, one of the most important legumes, face multiple stresses including drought and herbivory. But the potential transfer of the interactive effects of these stressors onto the transgenerational plants has not been understood. We hypothesised that progeny from stressed parents will have enhanced ecophysiology and defence traits through ...

Genomics of flooding stress tolerance: exploiting natural variation in Arabidopsis thaliana
Water is indispensable for plants. However, both extremes of it, in terms of availability, whether limited (i.e., drought) or excessive (i.e., flooding) are lethal for a plant.

Three Auxin Response Factors Promote Hypocotyl Elongation
The hormone auxin regulates growth largely by affecting gene expression. By studying Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants deficient in AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORS (ARFs), we have identified three ARF proteins that are required for auxin-responsive ...

Shade avoidance : how auxin controls photoreceptor-mediated shoot elongation
Plants perceive the threat of competing neighbours through various signals. They carry sophisticated photoreceptor systems to signal this and subsequently activate an interacting network of various hormones and transcriptional regulators.

ABSTRACT Climate change is responsible for salinity intrusion in coastal areas, which is significantly threatening the sustainability of aquaculture. This investigation focused on evaluating growth performance, proximate composition, blood morphology and histopathological modifications in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) exposed to varying salinity

Plants can deal with shade in different ways. Sun-adapted species express a set of growth traits to reach for light; the so-called shade avoidance syndrome (SAS).

Can Functional Traits Explain Recent Changes in Abundance of Alpine Plant Species?
We tested whether plant functional traits can explain recent changes in alpine species abundance using long‐term monitoring data from Austria. Morphological traits like plant height and leaf area predicted species changes, while physiological stress‐tolerance traits showed no significant relationships.

Genomics of Stress Escape in Arabidopsis Thaliana
In nature, two highly diverse environmental signals, flooding and shade, sensed through their own unique receptor systems, share physiological and molecular similarities in the context of accelerated shoot elongation in plants (a conserved stress-escape ...
