Vegetation changes

The picture below shows vegetation changes over the last 19 years in Beniatjar (Vall d'Albaida, Valencia; at the foot of the Benicadell). The increase in trees (Pinus halepensis) is very evident. In 2006, terraced fields were either productive or recently abandoned. Now, more terraced fields have been abandoned, and many are covered by trees.

Pyrazole‐Derived Antibacterial Compounds Effectively Treat Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infections by Inhibiting Aspartate Transcarbamoylase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils a novel antibacterial mechanism against MRSA, in which the compound Py‐27 selectively targets and inhibits aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase), a key enzyme in pyrimidine synthesis. This inhibition disrupts DNA replication, induces oxidative damage, leading to potent bactericidal activity.

MiRNA Control of Vegetative Phase Change in Trees

PLoS Genetics, 2011
After germination, plants enter juvenile vegetative phase and then transition to an adult vegetative phase before producing reproductive structures. The character and timing of the juvenile-to-adult transition vary widely between species. In annual plants, this transition occurs soon after germination and usually involves relatively minor morphological

Herbicide Metabolic Resistance in Poaceae Plants via the GA‐GID1/DELLA‐DOF2‐P450s Module

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant hormone signaling modulates herbicide resistance in Echinochloa crus‐galli. The GA–DELLA–DOF2 cascade directly activates P450 detoxification genes in two Poaceae species, uncovering a core mechanism of metabolic herbicide resistance. ABSTRACT Barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus‐galli) is one of the world's most important weeds, and the evolution of ...

Climate variability and human impact in South America during the last 2000 years: synthesis and perspectives from pollen records [PDF]

, 2016
An improved understanding of present-day climate variability and change relies on high-quality data sets from the past 2 millennia. Global efforts to model regional climate modes are in the process of being validated against, and integrated with, records

Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen help to predict the belowground communities at a regional scale

Scientific Reports, 2017
At the regional scale, although environmental factors are known to shape the distributions of belowground communities in terrestrial ecosystems, these environmental factors account for relatively low percentages of the variation in belowground ...

Concerted Action of Targeted Nucleic Acid Therapeutics as Flexible, Precision and Personalized Cancer Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Combinations of small activating RNAs and small interfering RNAs were developed as personalized precision therapies that simultaneously activate tumor suppressors and silence oncogenes according to the molecular signatures of patient tumors. This combination strategy demonstrated superior anticancer efficacy, highlighting the promise of precision ...

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...
