Silicon differentially protects PSII and PSI photochemistry and preserves fatty acid metabolism in salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) has been demonstrated to be an important element to enhance crop tolerance against salinity. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying Si's mitigation of salt stress remains insufficiently explored and understood. This study aims to provide new insights into Si's impact on salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.) supplied or not ...

Exploring perceptions of extreme environments and extremophiles in Chilean schoolchildren: an ethnographic study

Frontiers in Public Health
Chile is unique because of its diverse extreme environment, ranging from arid climates in the north to polar climates in Patagonia. Microorganisms that live in these environments are called extremophiles, and these habitats experience intense ecosystem ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Mining extremophiles (meta)genomes for novel and thermostable biocatalysts

, 2021
Microorganisms living in extreme environments represent an important source for novel biocatalysts suitable for industrial processes. During the last few years, the evolution of high-throughput DNA sequencing has enabled the development and improvement ...

Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives

Extremophiles and biotechnology: current uses and prospects [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2016
Biotechnology has almost unlimited potential to change our lives in very exciting ways. Many of the chemical reactions that produce these products can be fully optimized by performing them at extremes of temperature, pressure, salinity, and pH for ...

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 ...

Adaptation to extreme environments: A review of Antarctic fish physiology

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Having evolved in the chronically cold and thermally stable waters of the Southern Ocean (SO) for millions of years, Antarctic fish possess a suite of physiological specializations that enable them to survive at temperatures near the freezing point of seawater. Adaptations include the evolution of antifreeze proteins, modifications of membrane
