Computational search for UV radiation resistance strategies in Deinococcus swuensis isolated from Paramo ecosystems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is widely known as deleterious for many organisms since it can cause damage to biomolecules either directly or indirectly via the formation of reactive oxygen species. The goal of this study was to analyze the capacity of high-

Seasonal ecophysiology of two páramo species: the dominance of light over water limitations [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceDry and rainy seasons in many ecosystems differ significantly in cloudiness, precipitation, and incident sunlight. These seasonal variations can influence photosynthesis by altering light availability and water stress.

Endophytic Microbial Community DNA Extraction from the Plant Phyllosphere [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2017 The plant phyllosphere, which represents all plant parts that are above the ground, is considered one of the most extensive ecosystems to be colonized by microorganisms, both at the surface as epiphytes or as endophytes within the plant.
