Determining the best cold hardiness measurement: nearly two-dozen grape varieties tested for ability to withstand below-freezing temperatures fortunei, such as sampling, transport, rearing, monitoring of the animal's health, acclimation time to the laboratory, size range of the tested animals, monitore...
The net rate of O2 production was calculated from the steady-state mass balance through the bioreactor control volume (equation 1). (1)qO2x=D([O2in]−[O2])+kla(kHpO2in−[O2]) The specific rate of O2 production (qO2) multiplied by the biomass concentration (x) is interpreted here...
“Active” heat acclimation (exercise-in-the-heat) can improve exercise performance but the efficacy of “passive” heat acclimation using post-exercise heat exposure is unclear. Therefore, we synthesised a systematic review and meta-analysis to answer whether post-exercise heat exposure improves exerc...
Among the enzymes of ALA synthesis, GluTR is regarded as the main rate-limiting step [34]. Fluorescent in blue light (FLU), a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) protein, is the best-known negative regulator of ALA synthesis. Previous researches suggested that FLU protein can interact with the C...
The prevalence of hypoxic areas in coastal waters is predicted to increase and lead to reduced biodiversity. While the adult stages of many estuarine invertebrates can cope with short periods of hypoxia, it remains unclear whether that ability is present
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that cultivars of winter wheat and barley have been studied and compared in physiological, morphological and production terms to determine whether they are shade-acclimated species with potential for use in agroforestry systems. Our results showed...
Wap65-2 and Wap65-1 shared a similar tissue distribution pattern, with the highest expression in the liver; this finding is consistent with previous observations in other teleosts and mammals and suggests a pattern of liver expression that has been well conserved through evolution. In carp, Wap...
is one gene encoding PDX2, the mutation of which is lethal, and three PDX1 genes (PDX1.1-PDX1.3). PDX1.1 and PDX1.3 are enzymatically functional proteins. PDX1.2 on the other hand is not catalytically active. Instead, this protein has a regulatory role on vitamer biosynthesis through ...
Regarding sugar metabolism, it is interesting to note the presence of genes involved in mannitol and trehalose synthesis, both repressed in presence of Cu (Additional file 1). With respect to cell wall structure modifications, we noted that Cu and H2O2 treatments induced the up-regulation of two...
main rate-limiting step [34]. Fluorescent in blue light (FLU), a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) protein, is the best-known negative regulator of ALA synthesis. Previous researches suggested that FLU protein can interact with the C-terminal segment of GluTR to inactivate ALA synthesis, resulting...
