The desiccation tolerance through a unicellular and chlorophyllous fern spore
(2020-01-08)
La presente tesis, por un lado, establece un protocolo universal para definir la tolerancia a la desecación en tejidos fotosintéticos y posteriormente se centra indagar las características ecofisiológicas que posibilitan ...
Annual Weedy Species of Erigeron in the Northern Iberian Peninsula: a Review
(Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2021)
A revision of the alien Erigeron species formerly included in Conyza found in the northern Iberian Peninsula is presented. A close examination of numerous specimens collected by the authors as well as voucher specimens ...
Freezing induces an increase in leaf spectral transmittance of forest understorey and alpine forbs
(Springer, 2022)
Evergreen plants growing at high latitudes or high elevations may experience freezing events in their photosynthetic tissues. Freezing events can have physical and physiological effects on the leaves which alter leaf optical ...
Differences in biochemical, gas exchange and hydraulic response to water stress in desiccation tolerant and sensitive fronds of the fern Anemia caffrorum
(Wiley, 2021-08)
Desiccation tolerant plants can survive extreme water loss in their vegetative tissues. The fern Anemia caffrorum produces desiccation tolerant (DT) fronds in the dry season and desiccation sensitive (DS) fronds in the wet ...
Combined dynamics of the 500–600 nm leaf absorption and chlorophyll fluorescence changes in vivo: Evidence for the multifunctional energy quenching role of xanthophylls
(Elsevier, 2021-02-01)
Carotenoids (Cars) regulate the energy flow towards the reaction centres in a versatile way whereby the switch between energy harvesting and dissipation is strongly modulated by the operation of the xanthophyll cycles. ...
Handbook of field sampling for multi-taxon biodiversity studies in European forests
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
[EN]Forests host most terrestrial biodiversity and their sustainable management is crucial to halt biodiversity loss. Although scientific evidence indicates that sustainable forest management (SFM) should be assessed by ...
More than just lipid balls: quantitative analysis of plastoglobule attributes and their stress‑related responses
(Springer, 2022-03)
[EN] Main conclusion Plastoglobules are ubiquitous under non-stress conditions and their morphology, closely related to their composition, changes differently depending on the specific stress that the plant undergoes. ...
The importance of the urea cycle and its relationships to polyamine metabolism during ammonium stress in Medicago truncatula
(Oxford University Press, 2022-09-12)
The ornithine-urea cycle (urea cycle) makes a significant contribution to the metabolic responses of lower photosynthetic eukaryotes to episodes of high nitrogen availability. In this study, we compared the role of the ...
Recent Trends in Sustainable Remediation of Pb-Contaminated Shooting Range Soils: Rethinking Waste Management within a Circular Economy
(MDPI, 2021-03-25)
Soil metal contamination in recreational shooting ranges represents a widespread environmental problem. Lead (Pb) is the primary component of traditional ammunition, followed by metalloids such as antimony (Sb) and arsenic ...
A Multi-Species Analysis Defines Anaplerotic Enzymes and Amides as Metabolic Markers for Ammonium Nutrition
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-27)
Nitrate and ammonium are the main nitrogen sources in agricultural soils. In the last decade, ammonium (NH4+), a double-sided metabolite, has attracted considerable attention by researchers. Its ubiquitous presence in plant ...
