Biotechnology of water and salinity stress tolerance [PDF]

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2010
Drought and salinity are among the environmental factors that constrain agricultural productivity most dramatically. Classical breeding programs aiming to improve stress tolerance have been hampered by the multigenic nature of the trait and the seemingly scarce natural genetic variability in crop plants.

High throughput sequencing of RNA transcriptomes in Ruditapes philippinarum identifies genes involved in osmotic stress response

Scientific Reports, 2017
Ruditapes philippinarum, is an economically important marine bivalve species. The ability to cope with low salinity stress is quite important for the survival of aquatic species under natural conditions. In this study, the transcriptional response of the

Stochastic modeling of soil salinity [PDF]

, 2010
A minimalist stochastic model of primary soil salinity is proposed, in which the rate of soil salinization is determined by the balance between dry and wet salt deposition and the intermittent leaching events caused by rainfall events.

PARP inhibition and pharmacological ascorbate demonstrate synergy in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pharmacologic ascorbate (vitamin C) increases ROS, disrupts cellular metabolism, and induces DNA damage in CRPC cells. These effects sensitize tumors to PARP inhibition, producing synergistic growth suppression with olaparib in vitro and significantly delayed tumor progression in vivo. Pyruvate rescue confirms ROS‐dependent activity.

Myo-inositol oxygenase: A key player in the battle of Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) against low-salinity stress

Aquaculture Reports
Salinity is an important physicochemical parameter in the aquatic environment that has a profound impact on the physiological processes of aquatic animals. Therefore, strong salinity adaptability is crucial for the survival of aquatic animals.

Stress related epigenetic changes may explain opportunistic success in biological invasions in Antipode mussels [PDF]

, 2018
Different environmental factors could induce epigenetic changes, which are likely involved in the biological invasion process. Some of these factors are driven by humans as, for example, the pollution and deliberate or accidental introductions and others

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Soybean Performance under Salinity Stress

, 2011
Soybean seed is a major source of high-quality protein and oil for human consumption (Katerji et al. 2001). The unique chemical composition of soybean has made it one of the most valuable agronomic crops worldwide (Thomas et al. 2003). Its protein has great potential as a major source of dietary protein.

Physiological responses of a halophytic shrub to salt stress by Na2SO4 and NaCl: oxidative damage and the role of polyphenols in antioxidant protection [PDF]

, 2014
Salt stress conditions lead to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant cells. Halophytes have the ability to reduce these toxic ROS by means of a powerful antioxidant system that includes enzymatic and non-enzymatic components.
