Gene Expression Shifts in Emperor Penguin Adaptation to the Extreme Antarctic Environment

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Gene expression can accelerate ecological divergence by rapidly tweaking the response of an organism to novel environments, with more divergent environments exerting stronger selection and supposedly, requiring faster adaptive responses. Organisms adapted to extreme environments provide ideal systems to test this hypothesis, particularly when ...

Exogenous application of plant growth regulators induce chilling tolerance in direct seeded super and non-super rice seedlings through modulations in morpho-physiological attributes [PDF]

, 2016
Recently, super rice has gained much importance due to its high yield potential while exogenous application of plant growth regulators (PGRs) is an important aspect in plant development and defense responses under stress conditions.

TaPP2C‐a6 interacts with TaDOG1Ls and regulates seed dormancy and germination in wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3313-3329, August 2025.
Summary Modern wheat cultivation requires seed to germinate rapidly and uniformly with weak dormancy. However, such varieties tend to undergo pre‐harvest sprouting (PHS) if the harvest overlaps with the rainy season, causing substantial yield losses. Knowledge regarding the mechanisms of seed dormancy in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is limited, with ...

Advancements in Water‐Saving Strategies and Crop Adaptation to Drought: A Comprehensive Review

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Drought stress, which is one of the most critical environmental constraints affecting global crop productivity, is exacerbated by climate change and increased atmospheric water demand. This review comprehensively examines plant responses to drought, integrating physiological, morphological, biochemical, and genetic adaptations that contribute ...

Comparison of Ultrastructure of Germinating Pea Leaves Prepared by High-Pressure Freezing-Freeze Substitution and Conventional Chemical Fixation [PDF]

, 2017
High-pressure freezing-freeze substitution (HPF-FS) methods were applied to germinating pea leaves. Good ultrastructural preservation without visible freezing damage was obtained up to 200 μm in thickness. Compared to conventional chemical fixation (CF),
