Abstract:
... The physiological mechanisms underpinning adaptations to starvation and cold stresses have been extensively studied in Drosophila, yet the understanding of correlated changes in stress-related and life-history traits, as well as the energetics of stress tolerance, still remains elusive. To answer the questions empirically in this context, we allowed D. melanogaster to evolve for either increased s ...
... The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effects of sunburn on pear fruit skin at the structural, biochemical, and molecular levels. Pears (Pyrus communis L.) cv. Beurré D'Anjou were collected at the official commercial harvest time and classified into three groups based on levels of sublethal sunburn: no sunburn (S0), mild sunburn (S1), and moderate sunburn (S2). Skin anatomy was characterize ...

Abstract:
... Non-expresser of pathogenesis-related genes 1 (NPR1) has been demonstrated to be a master transcription factor during resistance against pathogens, the mechanisms by which regulates chilling stress, however, remain unclear. Our results revealed that the expression and protein content of SlNPR1 were dramatically induced by low temperature (4 °C). CRISPR/Cas9-mediated SlNPR1 mutagenesis aggravated t ...

Abstract:
... This study developed an intelligent and antibacterial packaging film using a chitosan matrix embedding oregano essential oil (OEO) and black rice bran anthocyanin (BRBA). Herein, OEO and BRBA were immobilized into the chitosan matrix through noncovalent bonds and uniformly distributed in the films. The chitosan–OEO–BRBAⅡ film exhibited excellent mechanical, antibacterial, antioxidant, and UV–vis l ...
... Mother of FT and TFL1 (MFT) is a member of the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) family, which plays important roles in seed development, the stress response, and flowering time regulation. In the present study, the MFT homologous gene MiMFT was identified in mango cultivar ‘SiJiMi’. The promoter of MiMFT contained phytohormone-, plant growth-, plant development-, and abiotic stress- ...
... Temperature is an important factor that affects geographic distribution, reproduction, and physiological processes of organisms. In this study, we used quantitative PCR to analyze the effects of low temperature stress (5 °C and − 2 °C) on the expression of fatty acid metabolism-related genes in different tissues of two wild populations(southern and northern) and three shell color strains (zebra, w ...

Abstract:
... Melatonin participates in the response to abiotic stressors in plants and enhances tolerance to water stress tolerance in loquat seedlings; however, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we conducted physiological and metabolomic analyses to identify the metabolic processes associated with enhanced tolerance of melatonin-treated loquat seedlings under conditions of water deficit ...

Abstract:
... Cultured Greenshell™ mussels (Perna canaliculus) are exposed to biotic and abiotic stresses, all of which can negatively impact growth, fecundity, and survival. These impacts are especially pronounced in sensitive larval and spat stages and may result in substantial losses when spat are transferred from hatchery to grow-out farms. Immersion in solutions of plant extracts have been shown to improve ...
... Dopamine is a naturally occurring amine in plants and animals, having a strong antioxidative capacity. Different abiotic stressors, such as drought, salinity, and nutrient deficiency induce endogenous dopamine biosynthesis, while exogenous dopamine application confers tolerance to abiotic stress. Plants benefit from exogenous dopamine to promote photosynthetic pigment concentrations, stomatal cond ...
... The muscle quality of farmed fish has attracted widespread public attention. To understand a comprehensive molecular mechanism underlying the effects of artificial formula feed- (AF) and grass-feeding (GF) on muscle quality and growth of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus), muscular transcriptomics and proteomics of GF and AF C. idellus were characterized. A total of 834 DEGs (484 up-, 350 down- ...
... Most microbes reside in oligotrophic environments for extended periods of time, requiring survival strategies that maintain proliferative capacity. We demonstrate that the non‐spore‐forming Lactococcus lactis KF147 progressively activates the expression of stress‐associated functions in response to the declining growth rate elicited by prolonged retentostat cultivation, which coincides with up to ...

Abstract:
... Quiescence is a reversible non-proliferative cellular state that allows organisms to persist through unfavorable conditions. Quiescence can be stimulated by a wide range of external or intrinsic factors. Cells undergo a coordinated molecular program to enter and exit from the quiescent state, which is governed by signaling, transcriptional and translational changes, epigenetic mechanisms, metaboli ...

Abstract:
... Ubiquitin and similar proteins, such as SUMO, are utilized by plants to modify target proteins to rapidly change their stability and activity in cells. This review will provide an overview of these crucial protein interactions with a focus on ubiquitylation and sumoylation in plants and how they contribute to stress tolerance. The work will also explore possibilities to use these highly conserved ...

Abstract:
... Microalgae are highly adaptable to abiotic stress and produce valuable metabolites, but microalgal commercialization is still difficult because of minimal yields. The application of phytohormone-like small biomolecules is effective in simultaneously improving the productivity of valuable microalgal biomass-derived metabolites and stress tolerance. This represents a significant opportunity for micr ...
