Abstract:
xvi, 112 p. : ill. (some col.)<br>In seasonal environments, the ability to take advantage of the favorable seasons and avoid or mitigate the effects of the unfavorable ones is essential for organismal fitness. Many polar and temperate organisms use photoperiod (length of day) to time seasonal life history events because photoperiod's regular annual cycle makes it a very reliable indicator of seasonality. This reliability allows organisms to anticipate and properly prepare for seasonal change. Although photoperiodism is widespread in polar and temperate vertebrates, little is known relative to

Abstract:
Seasonal physiology has evolved as an adaptive strategy to changing environments with daylength (photoperiod) used as the predominant environmental cue to suit breeding and other functions to the external season. However, seasonal physiological state is determined not only by the photoperiod that is currently in effect but also by the animal's history, allowing changes in physiology in anticipation to the seasons. Many mammals and birds show internally timed, long-term (circannual) changes in seasonal physiology, synchronised to the seasons by changing photoperiods. The importance of history-d

Abstract:
Photoperiodism refers to the organism’s ability to detect and respond to seasonal changes in the daily duration of light and dark and thus constitutes one of the most significant and complex examples of the interaction between the organism and its environment. This thesis attempts to describe the prevalence of variation in a photoperiodic response, its adaptive value, and its putative genetic basis in a common cruciferous weed, Capsella bursa-pastoris (Brassicaceae).

Abstract:
The Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has two developmental processes which are clearly seasonal; smoltification is restricted to the spring and maturation to late autumn. In the farming industry the seasonality of juvenile production is primarily responsible for the seasonal production in market-sized fish. Both smoltification and maturation appear to be controlled by mechanisms timed by photoperiod. This thesis investigates the effects of photoperiod on smoltification and maturation. The performance of both out-of-season eggs and particularly smolts are closely examined and the possible applicat

Female golden Syrian hamsters are seasonally breeding animals, capable of maintaining continuous estrous cycles when the daylength is 12.5 hrs. or longer. In shorter photoperiod (SP) the ovaries of anovulatory animals are characterized by few small growing follicles, an absence of corpora lutea and extensive hypertrophied interstitium. Steroid-histochemical studies revealed that enzymes related to steroidogenesis show intense activity in the interstitial tissue of SP-exposed animals.

Abstract:
Plants germinated in the dark under the soil surface, undergo skotomorphogenic development. Once they emerge from the soil surface perceive light for the first time. Then, seedlings switch from skotomorphogenic to photomorphogenic development, a process that is known as seedling deetiolation. At this moment, seedlings rapidly form the photosynthetic apparatus to start to produce energy and avoid photodamage. In addition, seedlings adapt their morphology to enhance light capture for photosynthesis, inhibiting hypocotyl elongation and stimulating cotyledon separation and expansion. At the molecu

Abstract:
Development of sustainable practices is an important goal in agriculture. One possibility involves the development of perennial cereal crops, but the mechanisms of perenniality first need to be understood. While in annual cereals flowering structures die following seed production, in perennial grasses, perenniality is achieved by maintaining at least one shoot in a vegetative state. There are two views on perennating tiller origin in perennial grasses: some authors suggest that all over-wintering tillers flower in spring and summer, leaving spring-initiated tillers to perennate, while others i

Abstract:
Paralelamente ao modelo Arabidopsis thaliana, o tomateiro (Lycopersicon esculentum) tem sido crescentemente utilizados em abordagens genéticas de questões fisiológicas. Uma das principais vantagens de Arabidopsis como “planta de laboratório” tem sido seu pequeno porte e ciclo de vida curto. Contudo, a cultivar Micro-Tom (MT) de tomateiro possui tamanho muito reduzido (8 cm) e pode produzir até 5 gerações por ano.

Abstract:
The Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) lifecycle is punctuated by distinct ontogenic stages which are routinely manipulated commercially by photoperiod regimes to enable year-round production. As such, light plays a critical role throughout the production cycle, however, it remains poorly characterised and light spectrum and intensity have not been defined optimally yet. This thesis was therefore set out to test the effects of narrow bandwidth light (Blue-&lambda;(max) 444 nm, Green-&lambda;(max) 523 nm, Red-&lambda;(max) 632 nm and White) and intensity in freshwater (FW).
