Abstract:
... The role of sustainability initiatives and niche groups in transitions towards sustainability has received a good deal of attention. However, little is known about the people who make up these groups. This paper discusses their psychological wellbeing – a concept that comprises six elements: self-acceptance, personal growth and development, purpose in life, environmental mastery, autonomy, and pos ...

Abstract:
... Plant roots explore the soil to acquire water and nutrients which are often available at concentrations that drastically differ from the plant’s actual need for growth and development. This stark difference between availability and requirement can be dealt with owing to the root’s architecture as an inverted gut. In roots, the two epithelial characteristics (selective acquisition and diffusion bar ...

Abstract:
... Deletions that fuse two adjacent topologically associating domains (TADs) can cause severe developmental disorders. We provide a formal method to quantify deletions based on their potential disruption of the three-dimensional genome structure, denoted as the TAD fusion score. Furthermore, we show that deletions that cause TAD fusion are rare and under negative selection in the general population. ...

Abstract:
... Lateral roots are essential for soil foraging and uptake of minerals and water. They feature a large morphological diversity that results from divergent primordia or root growth and development patterns. Besides a structured diversity, resulting from the hierarchical and developmental organization of root systems, there exists a random diversity, occurring between roots of similar age, of the same ...

Abstract:
... The physiological roles of abscisic acid (ABA) as a stress hormone in plant responses to water shortage, including stomatal regulation and gene expression, have been well documented. However, less attention has been paid to the function of basal ABA synthesized under well-watered conditions in recent studies. In this review, we summarize progress in the understanding of how low concentrations of A ...
