Compromised DNA replication in gut cells underlies sensitivity to genotoxic stress in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
DNA damage in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris elicits distinct cellular outcomes depending on replication status. While non‐replicating cells tolerate genotoxic stress, constitutively replicating cells undergo irreversible replication failure upon DNA damage, leading to loss of tissue homeostasis, fat depletion, sterility, and organismal death ...

Impact of Biochar Application at Water Shortage on Biochemical and Physiological Processes in Medicago ciliaris

Plants, 2022
The application of biochar is mostly used to improve soil fertility, water retention capacity and nutrient uptake. The present study was conducted in order to study the impact of biochar at water deficiency conditions on the physiological and biochemical

Genome‐scale insights into metabolic streamlining and photosynthetic energy balance in the extremophile green alga Picocystis salinarum (Picocystophyceae, Chlorophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Picocystis salinarum is an early‐diverging chlorophyte and the sole described member of the Picocystophyceae, frequently dominating hypersaline and alkaline lakes despite extreme physicochemical constraints. To elucidate the genomic foundations of its ecological success, we generated a fully annotated, chromosome‐scale nuclear genome assembly ...

Effect of seed priming with auxin on ROS detoxification and carbohydrate metabolism and their relationship with germination and early seedling establishment in salt stressed maize

BMC Plant Biology
As crucial stages in the plant ontogeny, germination and seedling establishment under adverse conditions greatly determine staple crop growth and productivity. In the context of green technologies aiming to improve crop yield, seed priming is emerging as

Proline priming: An efficient strategy to mitigate salinity impact at early developmental stages of the oilseed halophyte Cakile maritima

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca
Seed germination is a vital process, yet extremely sensitive to salinity. This is particularly true for coastal halophytes like the annual oilseed species Cakile maritima, which faces the simultaneous impact of wind, salt-spray and seawater inundations ...

Combined Phosphorus and Potassium Starvation Upregulates Sodium Accumulation by HKT1;1 in Tomato Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Na+ can substitute K+ under K+ deficiency conditions, which is denominated as beneficial Na+. Despite its relevance at the physiological level and its interest in agriculture, the mechanisms allowing its uptake and use by plants remain unclear.

Casanovas are liars : behavioral syndromes, sperm competition risk, and the evolution of deceptive male mating behavior in live-bearing fishes [version 2; referees: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]

, 2013
Male reproductive biology can by characterized through competition over mates as well as mate choice. Multiple mating and male mate choice copying, especially in internally fertilizing species, set the stage for increased sperm competition, i.e., sperm ...
