A functional nexus between photoperiod acclimation, torpor expression and somatic fatty acid composition in a heterothermic mammal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The seasonal changes in thermal physiology and torpor expression of many heterothermic mammals are controlled by photoperiod. As function at low body temperatures during torpor requires changes of tissue lipid composition, we tested for the first time ...

Can the clocks tick together despite the noise? Stochastic simulations and analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), also known as the circadian master clock, consists of a large population of oscillator neurons. Together, these neurons produce a coherent signal that drives the body's circadian rhythms. What properties of the cell-to-cell communication allow the synchronization of these neurons, despite a wide range of environmental

PLoS ONE, 2018 The major physiological determinants of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) phenology in a given area are a response to vernalization temperature and day length, which are at least in part, regulated by the allelic variation at the vernalization (VRN) and ...

Cowpea leaf width correlates with above ground biomass across diverse environments
Legume Science, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) yields within the dry savannahs of Sub‐Saharan Africa are low. Given the contribution of cowpea to food security in this region, it is essential that high‐yielding varieties are developed to improve crop productivity in a sustainable manner.

Effects of Photoperiod and Temperature on Energy Budgets and Endocrine Hormones Concentrations in Tupaia belangeri [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2014 Environmental cues play important roles in the regulation of an animal’s physiology and behavior. In the present study, we performed a factorial experiment (temperature/photoperiod) in which Tupaia belangeri was acclimated to different photoperiods (long

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2809-2820, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Underwater light is a highly dynamic resource for phytoplankton. Fluctuating light influences photosynthesis, respiration, biosynthesis, and growth at different timescales, but the interplay of these processes is not well‐understood. Subsamples of a phytoplankton community from the turbid, well‐mixed lake TaiHu (China) were either vertically ...

Production of polyhydroxybutyrates and carbohydrates in a mixed cyanobacterial culture: effect of nutrients limitation and photoperiods [PDF]
, 2018 In the present study, different photoperiods and nutritional conditions were applied to a mixed wastewater-borne cyanobacterial culture in order to enhance the intracellular accumulation of polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs) and carbohydrates. Two different experimental set-ups were used.
