Core Genome Responses Involved in Acclimation to High Temperature

Acclimation to humid heat lowers resting core temperature.

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that a reduction in resting rectal temperature (Tre) is partially responsible for the attenuation in the rise of core temperature during heat exposure following acclimation to humid heat. Nine male volunteers completed 7 days of acclimation, performing 2 h of exercise per day in a hot, humid environment (35°C, 75% relative humidity). Mean (±S...

Proteomic responses of blue mussel (Mytilus) congeners to temperature acclimation.

The ability to acclimate to variable environmental conditions affects the biogeographic range of species, their success at colonizing new habitats, and their likelihood of surviving rapid anthropogenic climate change. Here we compared responses to temperature acclimation (4 weeks at 7, 13 and 19°C) in gill tissue of the warm-adapted intertidal blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, an invasive ...

Pollen Development at High Temperature: From Acclimation to Collapse.

Pollen Development at High Temperature: From Acclimation to Collapse1[OPEN]

The seeds and fruits derived from the sexual reproduction of flowering plants constitute the major part of the human diet. Our capacity to generate sufficient crop yield is increasingly compromised by human population expansion, competition for land use, biodiversity loss, and global climate change. Hot days and heat waves are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity in many temperate r...

Temperature acclimation of photosynthesis: mechanisms involved in the changes in temperature dependence of photosynthetic rate.

Growth temperature alters temperature dependence of the photosynthetic rate (temperature acclimation). In many species, the optimal temperature that maximizes the photosynthetic rate increases with increasing growth temperature. In this minireview, mechanisms involved in changes in the photosynthesis-temperature curve are discussed. Based on the biochemical model of photosynthesis, change in th...
