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. ...
Non-invasive diagnosis of viability in seeds and lichens by infrared thermography under controlled environmental conditions
(BMC, 2019-12)
Background: Non-invasive procedures for the diagnosis of viability of plant or fungal tissues would be valuable for scientific, industrial and biomonitoring purposes. Previous studies showed that infrared thermography (IRT) ...
Can environmental constraints determine random patterns of plant species co-occurrence?
(Wiley Blackwell, 2015-03)
Plant community ecologists use the null model approach to infer assembly processes from observed patterns of species co-occurrence. In about a third of published studies, the null hypothesis of random assembly cannot be ...
Can Parietin Transfer Energy Radiatively to Photosynthetic Pigments?
(MDPI, 2018-07)
The main role of lichen anthraquinones is in protection against biotic and abiotic stresses, such as UV radiation. These compounds are frequently deposited as crystals outside the fungal hyphae and most of them emit visible ...
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 ...
Global biogeographical patterns of plankton in response to climate change
(2017-01-09)
La evidencia científica es abrumadora: el cambio climático está ocurriendo y gran parte delcambio es un resultado directo de la actividad humana. Las observaciones demuestran quedurante los últimos 40 años el 84% del total ...
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 ...
