Identification and characterization of mycosporine-like amino acid in the cyanobacterium Scytonema sp. HKAR-16 by HPLC, Raman spectroscopy, and ESI-MS [PDF]

open access: yesSongklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2022
The incidence of ultraviolet radiation has increased on the Earth's surface due to depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer which has several detrimental effects on living organisms including cyanobacteria. Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are eco-

Acid‐ and Nucleophile‐Gated Photoisomerization of Phosphaindirubin

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 10, 2 March 2026.
Triply gated isomerization: In polar solvents, a phosphorus‐containing indirubin photoswitch undergoes visible‐light‐driven Z→E isomerization only when protonated, and reverts thermally via nucleophile‐catalyzed back‐isomerization. This three‐way control by light, acid, and nucleophile enables reversible photoisomerization.

The effect of a topically-applied cosmetic oil formulation on striae distensae

open access: yesSouth African Family Practice, 2009
Background: Stretch marks or striae distensae are tears in the dermis, above which the epidermis remains intact. Striae result from rapid expansion of the underlying tissue, e.g. during puberty, pregnancy or rapid weight gain. The prevalence of striae is

Regulation of monocot and dicot plant development with constitutively active alleles of phytochrome B

open access: yesPlant Direct, 2020
The constitutively active missense allele of Arabidopsis phytochrome B, AtPHYBY276H or AtYHB, encodes a polypeptide that adopts a light‐insensitive, physiologically active conformation capable of sustaining photomorphogenesis in darkness.

Effects of Low-Level Artificial Light at Night on Kentucky Bluegrass and an Introduced Herbivore

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Increasing evidence suggests that artificial light at night (ALAN) can negatively impact organisms. However, most studies examine the impacts of ALAN on a single species or under high levels of artificial light that are infrequent or unrealistic in urban

Phytochrome B and REVEILLE1/2-mediated signalling controls seed dormancy and germination in Arabidopsis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Seed dormancy prevents germination under adverse environmental conditions. Here the authors show that the RVE1 and RVE2 transcription factors suppress biosynthesis of the germination-promoting hormone GA and act downstream of phytochrome signalling to ...

Histone Acetylation Modifications Affect Tissue-Dependent Expression of Poplar Homologs of C4 Photosynthetic Enzyme Genes

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Histone modifications play important roles in regulating the expression of C4 photosynthetic genes. Given that all enzymes required for the C4 photosynthesis pathway are present in C3 plants, it has been hypothesized that this expression regulatory ...

Experimental Techniques to Assess Coral Physiology in situ Under Global and Local Stressors: Current Approaches and Novel Insights

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Coral reefs are declining worldwide due to global changes in the marine environment. The increasing frequency of massive bleaching events in the tropics is highlighting the need to better understand the stages of coral physiological responses to extreme ...

Effects of Glyphosate-Based Herbicide on Primary Production and Physiological Fitness of the Macroalgae Ulva lactuca

open access: yesToxics, 2022
The use of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) worldwide has increased exponentially over the last two decades increasing the environmental risk to marine and coastal habitats. The present study investigated the effects of GBHs at environmentally relevant

Unique Cl– pump rhodopsin with close similarity to H+ pump rhodopsin

open access: yesBiophysics and Physicobiology, 2022
Microbial rhodopsin is a ubiquitous membrane protein in unicellular microorganisms. Similar to animal rhodopsin, this protein consists of seven transmembrane helices and the chromophore retinal.
