RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease. Abstract Background and Aims Receptor‐interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) mediates NAFLD progression, but its metabolic function is unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of RIPK3 in modulating mitochondria function, coupled with lipid droplet (LD)

Lianas and Trees From a Seasonally Dry and a Wet Tropical Forest Did Not Differ in Embolism Resistance but Did Differ in Xylem Anatomical Traits in the Dry Forest

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
One of the most prominent changes in neotropical forests has been the increase in abundance and size of lianas. Studies suggest that lianas have more acquisitive strategies than trees, which could allow them to take advantage of water more effectively ...

Liana abundance, diversity, and distribution on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Lianas are a key component of tropical forests; however, most surveys are too small to accurately quantify liana community composition, diversity, abundance, and spatial distribution - critical components for measuring the contribution of lianas to ...

Differential adaptation of lianas and trees in wet and dry forests revealed by trait correlation networks

Ecological Indicators, 2022
The single functional differentiation of lianas and trees has been explored at both local and regional scales. Traits are not independent of each other, and the differentiation and integration of the multiple traits of lianas and trees under contrasting ...

Positive effects of ants on host trees are critical in years of low reproduction and not influenced by liana presence

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022
Tropical tree-climbing lianas form paths that benefit foraging of dominant ants which might protect the host tree against herbivores. In contrast, lianas are often associated with negative effects on growth and reproduction of host trees due to light ...

Wanted: new allometric equations for large lianas and African lianas [PDF]

, 2016
© 2016 The Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation Liana abundance appears to be increasing, possibly to the detriment of trees, but methods for measuring liana biomass are undependable.

Editorial: Lianas, ecosystems, and global change [PDF]

, 2023
Lianas (woody vines) are an abundant and diverse plant group in tropical ecosystems (Gentry, 1991; Dewalt et al., 2014). While they enhance forest canopy connectivity and provide food and shelter for tropical fauna (Yanoviak and Schnitzer, 2013 ...

Making (remote) sense of lianas [PDF]

, 2022
Lianas (woody vines) are abundant and diverse, particularly in tropical ecosystems. Lianas use trees for structural support to reach the forest canopy, often putting leaves above their host tree. Thus they are major parts of many forest canopies.

Comparative transcriptomics of tropical woody plants supports fast and furious strategy along the leaf economics spectrum in lianas

Biology Open, 2022
Lianas, climbing woody plants, influence the structure and function of tropical forests. Climbing traits have evolved multiple times, including ancestral groups such as gymnosperms and pteridophytes, but the genetic basis of the liana strategy is largely
