Ecophysiological role of mucilaginous seed coat on germination and seedling growth of Balangu (Lallemantia royleana) imposed to drought and salinity stress [PDF]

open access: yesعلوم و فناوری بذر ایران, 2018
It seems mucilaginous seed coat is an aspect of plants evolutionary adaptation to desert environments. Because of mucilage production, seed coat of Balangu Shirazi (Lallemantia royleana) absorbs water multiple times more than of its initial weight.

Low fouling conditions in dead-end filtration: Evidence for a critical filtered volume and interpretation using critical osmotic pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper presents experiments showing the existence of a critical filtered volume (CFV) when operating colloid dead-end filtration. The CFV is here defined as the filtered volume below which there is no irreversible (with respect to a break in the ...

Aquaporin‐3 and aquaporin‐5 impact the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma spheroids

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the role of aquaporin‐3 (AQP3) and aquaporin‐5 (AQP5) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Both proteins are upregulated in PDAC and are associated with tumor progression and metastatic potential. Silencing AQP3 or AQP5 in PDAC spheroids results in decreased diameter, area, and overall growth, underscoring their key ...

Reaction of Germination and Seedling Growth of Redroot Pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus) to Salinity and Drought Stress

open access: yesپژوهش‌های بذر ایران, 2018
Salt and drought are two major environmental stresses that affect growth and development of plants. In order to study the effects of sodium chloride and polyethylene glycol (6000) on germination characteristics and early seedling growth of redroot ...

Polyethylene glycol-b-polylactic acid polymersome elongation through osmotic pressure mediated membrane tension and fusion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Polyethylene glycol-b-polylactic acid (PEGPLA) polymersomes elongate under osmotic pressure. Hypertonic NaCl solutions statistically increased the zeta potential from negative to neutral.

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Hyperosmotic stress‐induced redistribution of pre‐mRNA cleavage factor I subunits is associated with shifts in alternative polyadenylation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Hyperosmotic stress triggers the relocation of the CFIm complex from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. This shift creates a nuclear ‘stoichiometric bottleneck’, limiting CFIm availability for mRNA processing. Consequently, specific mRNAs like NUDT21 and DICER1 undergo targeted 3′UTR shortening, demonstrating how spatial protein dynamics drive rapid ...

Osmotic and Salt Stresses Modulate Spontaneous and Glutamate-Induced Action Potentials and Distinguish between Growth and Circumnutation in Helianthus annuus Seedlings

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Action potentials (APs), i.e., long-distance electrical signals, and circumnutations (CN), i.e., endogenous plant organ movements, are shaped by ion fluxes and content in excitable and motor tissues.

Effects of Water Potential on Anaerobic Methane Production and a Microbial Consortium

open access: yesFermentation, 2023
This study probed the effect of the water potential (Ψ) on anaerobic methane production and a microbial consortium. The Ψ level of the investigated anaerobic digester (n = 20) was in the range from −0.10 to −2.09 MPa with a mean value of −1.23 MPa, and ...
