Desiccation resistance along an aridity gradient in the cactophilic fly Drosophila buzzatii: Sex-specific responses to stress
(Springer, 2013-05)
Stress resistance characters are valuable tools for the study of acclimation potential, adaptive strategies and biogeographic patterns in species exposed to environmental variability. Water stress is a challenge to terrestrial ...
Desiccating stress-induced disruption of ocular surface immune tolerance drives dry eye disease
(British Society for Immunology, 2016)
Dry eye is an allegedly autoimmune disorder for which the initiatingmechanisms and the targeted antigens in the ocular surface are not known,yet there is extensive evidence that a localized T helper type 1 (Th1)/Th17effector ...
Methylglyoxal metabolism in seaweeds during desiccation
(Universidad de Valparaíso. Facultad de Ciencias del Mar, 2016)
In primary producers, diverse stressors cause an over-production of methylglyoxal (MG), which is principally detoxified by glyoxalase I (GLO1) activity. A recent proteomic study found that GLO1 was up-regulated during ...
Seedling survival of Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart ex DC) Mattos in a semi-arid environment through modified germination speed and post-germination desiccation tolerance
(Int Inst Ecology, 2015-11-01)
Uniform rapid seed germination generally forms a great risk for the plant population if subsequent intermittent precipitation causes desiccation and seedling death. Handroanthus impetiginosus can be found commonly in a ...
Exploratory study of fatty acid profile in two filmy ferns with contrasting desiccation tolerance reveal the production of very long chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids
(MDPI AG, 2020-10-24)
Lipids are fundamental components of cell membranes and play a significant role in their integrity and fluidity. Alteration in lipid composition of membranes has been reported to be a major response to abiotic environmental ...
