Abstract:

Mediterranean species have to be in constant acclimation to seasonal environmental changes, including variations in water availability, air temperature and solar radiation. Due to global warming, these environmental changes are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity. Shrubs have a crucial role in plant communities such as avoiding soil erosion and, therefore, the study of shrub responses to abiotic stresses is essential to predict future changes in populations. Here, we evaluated the performance of the Mediterranean shrub, Cistus albidus, under several abiotic stresses in natural and

The effect of the fluorochrome Calcofluor White on chitin synthesis <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i> was investigated. Growth of <i>C. cinereus</i> in media seeded with the dye caused abnormal deposition of chitin at points of growth i.e. tips, septa, hook cells and clamps.

Abstract:

The use of oats for human consumption is increasing every day due to the health benefits of oat products. With the objective to study relationships among factors affecting oat grain quality, two Recombinant Inbred Lines (RIL) mapping populations (`ND030299' x `ND991151' and `ND030299' x `Souris') have been used in this study. The two populations with their parents and three check cultivars were evaluated in a square lattice design in 2008 and 2009 at two North Dakota locations. Data were recorded on the following agronomic traits: grain yield, test weight, 1000 kernel weight, thin kernels, hea

Abstract:

Some responses of turfgrasses to trampling stress were examined using simulated trampling methods in greenhouse and laboratory studies. Subsidiary experimental field studies indicated that the laboratory results were relevant to the natural situation. Shoot yield, 002 exchange and water relation parameters were measured, concentrating on the short term response to simulated trampling. A range of turf grass species and cultivars were included so comparison of wear tolerant and wear susceptible cultivar response was possible. An electrolyte release method was developed to ascertain plant injury

Abstract:

One of the distinguishable plant developmental events is the transition from the vegetative to reproductive phase (RP) of development. This stage is preceded by the juvenile to adult transition within the vegetative phase. During the juvenile vegetative phase (JVP) plants are incompetent to initiate reproductive development and are effectively insensitive to photoperiod. With the change to the adult vegetative phase (AVP), plants attain competence to respond to floral inducers, which is required for the transition to the RP.

Abstract:

Bioclimatic models suggest that Protea species are likely to be severely affected by predicted increases in temperature and reductions in rainfall in the Western Cape. However, throughout their 400 million year history, land plants have been exposed to considerable climatic variations that have driven physiological adaptations promoting long-term resilience. A principal response of plants to increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration and changing rainfall regimes is to minimise water loss by reducing stomatal conductance (gs) and simultaneously increasing intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE).

Leaves from grey individuals are shown to have higher reﬂectance across the entire photosynthetically active region (PAR) and greater stomatal density.

Abstract:

Plants, like most organisms, have developed elaborate mechanisms for anticipating periodic environmental changes. The circadian clock allows an organism to adapt its metabolic, developmental and physiological processes to coincide with favourable environmental conditions. At the centre of the Arabidopsis thaliana clock, linking environmental inputs and driving the overt biological rhythm is a central oscillator that consists of multiple interlocked transcriptional/translational negative feedback loops. What is known about the structure of the central oscillator comes primarily from genetic ana

Abstract:

Calcium (Ca2+) signalling regulates many neuronal functions including neurotransmission, axonal growth and development. Neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1) has been shown to be involved in many of these processes. On Ca2+ binding, NCS-1 changes conformation and exposes a hydrophobic binding pocket. In yeast, NCS-1 binds to a PI4-kinase orthologue required for survival. In mammalian cells, NCS-1 is localised to the Golgi and plasma membranes and has been linked to multiple target proteins that have roles in neuronal signalling. NCS-1 has been shown to regulate the P/Q Ca2+ channel subunit Cav2.1;
