The trehalose 6‐phosphate pathway impacts vegetative phase change in Arabidopsis thaliana

The Plant Journal, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 768-780, November 2020., 2020
Summary The vegetative phase change marks the beginning of the adult phase in the life cycle of plants and is associated with a gradual decline in the microRNA miR156, in response to sucrose status. Trehalose 6‐phosphate (T6P) is a sugar molecule with signaling function reporting the current sucrose state.

Analysis of Land Cover Changes in Afromontane Vegetation of Image Forest Reserve, Southern Highlands of Tanzania

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
An analysis of land cover changes (LCCs) was done in Image Forest Reserve (IFR) from August to October 2019. Free satellite images for 1990, 2004, and 2018 were downloaded from Landsat 5 (TM) and Landsat 8 (OLI) available through the USGS portal. Ground surveys were conducted using systematically set plots of 20 m × 40 m to identify the existing land ...

Perspectives on Structural, Physiological, Cellular, and Molecular Responses to Desiccation in Resurrection Plants

Scientifica, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Resurrection plants possess a unique ability to counteract desiccation stress. Desiccation tolerance (DT) is a very complex multigenic and multifactorial process comprising a combination of physiological, morphological, cellular, genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolic processes.

How receptor tyrosine kinase‐like orphan receptor 1 meets its partners in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Hematological Oncology, Volume 42, Issue 2, March 2024.
Abstract Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in western societies, recognized by clinical and molecular heterogeneity. Despite the success of targeted therapies, acquired resistance remains a challenge for relapsed and refractory CLL, as a consequence of mutations in the target or the upregulation of other survival pathways ...

Revisiting an ecophysiological oddity: Hydathode‐mediated foliar water uptake in Crassula species from southern Africa

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 460-481, February 2024.
Abstract Hydathodes are usually associated with water exudation in plants. However, foliar water uptake (FWU) through the hydathodes has long been suspected in the leaf‐succulent genus Crassula (Crassulaceae), a highly diverse group in southern Africa, and, to our knowledge, no empirical observations exist in the literature that unequivocally link FWU ...
