Abstract Cold resistance of fruit tree buds is very important. Climate change brings unstable winters, and the temperature often fluctuates creates many problems in growing. Research on bud cold damage was conducted during three years (2019–2021) at Institute Horticulture. Three Latvian plum cultivars, ‘Ance’, ‘Adelyn’, ‘Sonora’, were studied, while cultivar ‘Jubileum’ used as a control. This s...

Background. The vascular endothelium is capable of regulating tissue perfusion by the release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor to modulate vasomotor tone of the resistance vasculature. Methods and Results. To test whether atherosclerosis is associated with a functional abnormality of endothelium-mediated microvascular relaxation affecting coronary blood flow regulation, we compared corona...

Bacterial cold water disease (BCWD) causes significant economic loss in salmonid aquaculture. We previously detected genetic variation for BCWD resistance in our rainbow trout population, and a family-based selection program to improve resistance was initiated at the National Center for Cool and Cold Water Aquaculture (NCCCWA). This study investigated evidence of major trait loci affecting BCWD...

Introduction . The purpose of the article is a generalized analysis existing methods for determining structural steel elements behaviour in extreme conditions subzero temperatures and their use to assess cold resistance beams prestressed by drawing thin wall. Subject study steel. Object bimetallic beam without rods. Materials based on mechanics deformable solid bodies, studies mechanical charac...

Rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) were successfully introduced to south China in the 1950s on a large-scale; however, due to the climate, are prone to cold injury during the winter season. Increased cold tolerance is therefore an important goal, yet the mechanism underlying rubber tree responses to cold stress remains unclear. This study carried out functional characterization of HbICE1 (Induce...

Recruitment of brown adipose tissue (BAT) has emerged as a potential tool to combat obesity and associated metabolic complications. Short-term cold acclimation has been shown not only to enhance the presence and activity of BAT in lean humans but also to improve the metabolic profile of skeletal muscle to benefit glucose uptake in patients with type 2 diabetes. Here we examined whether short-te...
