Seasonal changes in photosynthesis, antioxidant systems and ELIP expression in a thermonastic and non-thermonastic Rhododendron species: A comparison of photoprotective strategies in overwintering plants
Leaves of overwintering evergreen rhododendrons are typically exposed to freezing temperatures and high light during winters which can potentially result in photon flux exceeding that required for photochemistry. This excess energy, if not dissipated as heat or fluorescence, may cause photooxidative damage to PSII. The goal of this study is to compare the photoprotection strategies during seaso...

متن کاملMetabolic adaptations of overwintering European common lizards (Lacerta vivipara).
The European common lizard Lacerta vivipara, a reptile of cold-temperate climates, provides us an interesting model of low-temperature adaptation. Indeed its unique cold-hardiness strategy, which employs both freeze tolerance and freeze avoidance, may be seen as the primary reason for its large distribution, which extends from Spain to beyond the Arctic circle. To study the metabolism supportin...
متن کاملHyperin from Rhododendron Leaves Induces Apoptosis in Endometrial Cancer Cells
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in industrialized countries, and as common gynecologic malignant tumors, endometrial cancer is the second most deadly cancer among women in the world. Cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracile (termed CMF regimen) as well as anthracyclines and paclitaxel belong to the chemotherapeutical drugs for cancer. However, the development of drug resi...
متن کاملProteome dynamics of cold-acclimating Rhododendron species contrasting in their freezing tolerance and thermonasty behavior
To gain a better understanding of cold acclimation in rhododendron and in woody perennials in general, we used the 2D-DIGE technique to analyze the rhododendron proteome during the seasonal development of freezing tolerance. We selected two species varying in their cold acclimation ability as well as their thermonasty response (folding of leaves in response to low temperature). Proteins were ex...
