چکیده
Arid and semi-arid lands cover more than one-third of the earth’s terrestrial area are typically characterized by rainfall scarcity, higher temperatures evapotranspiration, salinization, nutrient-poor soil, a paucity vegetation [...]

Adaptation to extreme environments: macromolecular dynamics in complex systems.
What we previously thought of as insurmountable physical and chemical barriers to life, we now see as yet another niche harbouring 'extremophiles'. Extremophiles and their macromolecules had to develop molecular mechanisms of adaptation to extreme physico-chemical conditions. Using neutron spectroscopy, we have demonstrated that molecular dynamics represents one of these molecular mechanisms of...
متن کاملKnowledge, Attitude and Practices Regarding Extreme Environments and Cold Adaptation at Extreme Altitudes on the Himalayan Ranges
Introduction: Extreme-altitudes (5500 m/18045 ft and higher) pose environmental, psychophysiological, infrastructural, logistic, and ergonomic challenges that question explorer’s adaptability and mission-efficiency due to isolation, monotony, intimidating environment and terse health conditions. The assessment of an explorer’s comprehensive adaptability in extreme-altitudes is ...
متن کاملEvidence of Molecular Adaptation to Extreme Environments and Applicability to Space Environments
This is initial investigation of a gene signatures responsible for adapting microscopic life to the life in extreme Earth environments. Here, we present a preliminary results on identification of the clusters of orthologous groups (COGs) common to several hyperthermophiles and exclusion of those common to a mesophile (non-hyperthermophile): Escherichia coli (E. coli K12), will yield a group of ...
متن کاملAdaptation to extreme environments: macromolecular dynamics in bacteria compared in vivo by neutron scattering.
Mean macromolecular dynamics was quantified in vivo by neutron scattering in psychrophile, mesophile, thermophile and hyperthermophile bacteria. Root mean square atomic fluctuation amplitudes determining macromolecular flexibility were found to be similar for each organism at its physiological temperature ( approximately 1 A in the 0.1 ns timescale). Effective force constants determining the me...
متن کاملAFLPs and Mitochondrial Haplotypes Reveal Local Adaptation to Extreme Thermal Environments in a Freshwater Gastropod
The way environmental variation shapes neutral and adaptive genetic variation in natural populations is a key issue in evolutionary biology. Genome scans allow the identification of the genetic basis of local adaptation without previous knowledge of genetic variation or traits under selection. Candidate loci for divergent adaptation are expected to show higher FST than neutral loci influenced s...
