Currently, more than 2.7 million American adults are diagnosed as obese each year. Many of these people suffer from a disorder known as metabolic syndrome, which includes symptoms like hypertension and elevated blood cholesterol. They are also at risk for developing additional diseases such as heart disease and diabetes mellitus. In fact, obesity may be a major cause of all these problems ... t...
متن کاملPhysiological and molecular basis of susceptibility and tolerance of rice plants to complete submergence.
Rice plants are much damaged by several days of total submergence. The effect can be a serious problem for rice farmers in the rainfed lowlands of Asia, and runs contrary to a widespread belief amongst plant biologists that rice is highly tolerant of submergence. This article assesses the characteristics of the underwater environment that may damage rice plants, examines various physiological m...
متن کاملHow plants cope with water stress in the field. Photosynthesis and growth.
Plants are often subjected to periods of soil and atmospheric water deficit during their life cycle. The frequency of such phenomena is likely to increase in the future even outside today's arid/semi-arid regions. Plant responses to water scarcity are complex, involving deleterious and/or adaptive changes, and under field conditions these responses can be synergistically or antagonistically mod...
متن کاملChemical Diversity and Defence Metabolism: How Plants Cope with Pathogens and Ozone Pollution
Chemical defences represent a main trait of the plant innate immune system. Besides regulating the relationship between plants and their ecosystems, phytochemicals are involved both in resistance against pathogens and in tolerance towards abiotic stresses, such as atmospheric pollution. Plant defence metabolites arise from the main secondary metabolic routes, the phenylpropanoid, the isoprenoid...
متن کاملHow Animals Use and Cope with Gravity
Since the dawn of life on Earth some four billions of years ago, gravity has been a more or less stable environmental factor thus influencing the phylogenetic development of all living organisms. On the one side, gravity represents a factor of physical restriction, which compelled the ancestors of all extant living beings to develop basic achievements to counter the gravitational force (e.g., e...
