Brassinosteroids (BRs) are important in plant resistance to chilling stress. However, limited information is available regarding the specific mechanisms involved at proteomic level. We utilized iTRAQ approach, physiological assays and obtained from cellular ultrastructure clarify underlying molecular mechanism of BRs alleviate stress pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Foliar application 24-epibrassin...

We extend to infinite dimensions an explicit formula of Chill, Fašangová, Metafune, and Pallara [2] for the optimal angle of analyticity of analytic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups. The main ingredient is an abstract representation of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator in divergence form.

TCAF1 puts a chill on prostate cancer The partner of a cold-sensing ion channel prevents prostate cancer cells from migrating, Gkika et al. reveal. The ion channel TRPM8 detects low temperatures, but it occurs in parts of the body that aren’t exposed to the cold, such as the prostate and bladder, suggesting that it has other roles. The protein is overexpressed in prostate tumors and other cance...

The ability to predict quantitative trait phenotypes from molecular polymorphism data will revolutionize evolutionary biology, medicine and human biology, and animal and plant breeding. Efforts to map quantitative trait loci have yielded novel insights into the biology of quantitative traits, but the combination of individually significant quantitative trait loci typically has low predictive ab...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Chilling results in a significant decrease in Rubisco content and increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus), a chilling-sensitive species. The role of roots in the regulation of the tolerance is unknown. Here, cucumber plants grafted onto figleaf gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia), a chilling-tolerant species were used to study the role of ...

The continued appearance of African-American women as performers in rap and/or hip-hop videos has called attention to the male gaze and the ways in which young African-American women negotiate their sexuality. The most popular music videos of Caucasian and African-American hip-hop artists from 2003-2005 were analyzed and compared to determine the levels of sexism between the two cultures. With ...

Adequate chill is of great importance for successful production deciduous fruit trees. However, temperate trees grown under tropical and subtropical regions may face insufficient winter chill, which has a crucial role in dormancy productivity. The objective this review to discuss the challenges chilling requirements trees, especially warm regions, climate change conditions. After defining dorma...

Prospective studies of the potential health consequences of trade and investment treaties, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, are critical. These studies can make visible to trade policy-makers the potential negative impacts associated to such treaties and can influence the outcomes of such negotiations. However, few researchers have examined retrospectively the consequences of trade agreem...

Bud dormancy is an evolutionary strategy that protects temperate fruit trees from low temperatures during winter. With adequate winter chilling, it a process consisting of rapid entrance phase where growth inhibition increases to maximum and then released via exit phase. This progression is, however, different in areas with insufficient chill. In such areas, the protracted, often incomplete. Se...
