Age-related changes in ocular mucosal tolerance: Lessons learned from gut and respiratory tract immunity
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-04)
The ocular surface is the part of the visual system directly exposed to the environment, and it comprises the cornea, the first refractive tissue layer and its surrounding structures. The ocular surface has evolved to keep ...
Molecular control to salt tolerance mechanisms of woody plants: Recent achievements and perspectives
(EDP Sciences, 2021-12)
Key message: Woody plants have salt-tolerant mechanisms similar to those developed by non-woody plants. Among others, compartmentalization of ions, production of compatible solutes, synthesis of specific proteins and ...
Wounding increases salt tolerance in tomato plants: Evidence on the participation of calmodulin-like activities in cross-tolerance signalling
(Oxford University Press, 2006-07)
Cross-tolerance is the phenomenon by which a plant resistance to a stress results in resistance to another form of stress. It has previously been shown that salt stress causes the accumulation of proteinase inhibitors and ...
Growth enhancement and drought tolerance of hybrid poplar upon inoculation with endophyte consortia
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-10)
With increasing effects of global climate change, there is a strong interest in developing biofuels from trees such as poplar (Populus sp.) that have high C sequestration rates and relatively low chemical inputs. Using ...
Salt glands in the Poaceae Family and their relationship to salinity tolerance
(Springer, 2015-06)
The Poaceae is one of the most important Angiosperm families, in terms of morphological diversity, ecology and economic importance. Species within this family show a very wide variation in terms of salinity tolerance. Salt ...
The Association between Distress Tolerance and Alcohol Outcomes via Internal Drinking Motives
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-11)
Introduction. Previous work suggests that college students who perceive themselves as less able to tolerate negative affect are more motivated to use alcohol to alleviate psychological distress. Recent findings also indicate ...
Simulation relations for fault-tolerance
(Springer, 2017-11)
We present a formal characterization of fault-tolerant behaviors of computing systems via simulation relations. This formalization makes use of variations of standard simulation relations in order to compare the executions ...
Outcome of blue, green, red, and white light on Metarhizium robertsii during mycelial growth on conidial stress tolerance and gene expression
(Elsevier, 2020-05)
Fungi sense light and utilize it as a source of environmental information to prepare against many stressful conditions in nature. In this study, Metarhizium robertsii was grown on: 1) potato dextrose agar medium (PDA) in ...
Metabolic features involved in drought stress tolerance mechanisms in peanut nodules and their contribution to biological nitrogen fixation
(Elsevier Ireland, 2017-10)
Legumes belong to the most important crops worldwide. They increase soil fertility due their ability to establish symbiotic associations with soil microorganisms, known as rhizobia, capable of fixing nitrogen from the ...
Ethanol-induced tolerance and sex-dependent sensitization in preweanling rats
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-02)
According to genetic studies, the acute stimulating effect of ethanol seems to be associated with an increased predisposition to consume large quantities of ethanol. Ethanol-induced stimulation has been rarely reported in ...
