Abstract Tropical grassy biomes have variable tree cover and are often characterized by a flammable ground layer where the dominating grass species strategies to persist proliferate with frequent fire. However, there is limited understanding of how growth flammability traits respond light availability. We experimentally grew 14 characteristic Malagasy Central Highlands for one year four treatme...

The emergence of the so-called “European Paradox” shows that increasing Governmental R&D Investment is far from being a ‘panacea’ for stagnant growth. Surprisingly, Governmental R&D Employment does not contribute to ‘mass-market’ employment, despite its important role in reducing YouthUnemployment. Despite the negative side-effect of Governmental R&D Employment on economic growth, University R&...

How plants relate their requirements for energy with the reducing power necessary to fuel growth is not understood. The activated glucose forms and NADPH are key precursors in pathways yielding, respectively, energy and reducing power for anabolic metabolism. Moreover, they are substrates or allosteric regulators of trehalose-phosphate synthase (TPS1) in fungi and probably also in plants. TPS1 ...
