Background/Question/Methods There is increasing evidence that global change can alter the structure of plant communities with large impacts on the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about the impact of global change on soil microbial communities. In particular, the response...
Tamoxifen's effect on long-chain fatty acid metabolism genes suggests potential impacts on lipid metabolism and energy balance, as fatty acids are crucial for signaling pathways and hormone production. Furthermore, estradiol and ethinylestradiol also regulated genes related to hormone response, which ...
Pesticides, which are widely used in agriculture, have elicited notable environmental concern because they persist and may be toxic. The environmental dyna
Understanding better the environment where plants live is critical to our future crop science for several reasons. Firstly, gene expression is largely dependent on the environment where the crop grows. Secondly, genetic mapping and gene cloning depends on the environment where the phenotyping is perfor...
Impacts of cold weather on all-cause and cause-specific mortality in Texas, 1990–2011 Tsun-Hsuan Chen, Xiao Li, Jing Zhao, Kai Zhang Pages 244-251 select article Occurrence, profiles, and toxic equivalents of chlorinated and brominated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in E-waste open burning soi...
Cloning, metagenomic analysis (virus), and RT-qPCR with the use of process controls help to detect viruses accurately by knowing the virus recovery rate and the level of inhibition [121], [144], [145], [146], [147]. The selectivity and choice of process controls depend on the molecular...
Carbon monoxide (CO) oxidising microorganisms are present in volcanic deposits throughout succession, with levels of vegetation and soil influencing the communities present. Carboxydovores are a subset of CO oxidisers that use CO as an energy source, whi
Introduction In the last three decades, there has been an increasing global worry over the public health impacts attributed to environmental pollution. It was the industrial revolution that gave birth to environmental pollution as we realize it today. Populations of developing countries are particularly...
Global plastic production has increased exponentially since manufacturing commenced in the 1950’s, including polymer types infused with diverse additives and fillers. While the negative impacts of plastics are widely reported, particularly on marine ver
EcoDynElec software tracks the origin of electricity accross european countries based on generation and cross-border exchanges and allows the dynamic evaluation of environmental impacts of electricity. ecodynelec is a free software under MIT licence. It was developped in a collaboration between the EMPA...
