Zoysiagrass, the most cold-tolerant grass among the warm-season turfgrasses, is often used as a model species for isolating cellular components related to cold stress. To understand the proteomic responses to cold stress in zoysiagrass stolons, we extracted stolon proteins from Zoysiajaponica, cv. Meyer (cold-tolerant) and Z. metrella, cv. Diamond (cold-sensitive), which were grown with or with...

 Synopsis This work demonstrates that PpABI3 contributes to freezing tolerance regulation in Physcomitrella patens. Transcription factor ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE3 (ABI3) is known to play a major role in regulating seed dormancy, germination, seedling development as well as stress responses. ABI3 is conserved among land plants; however, its roles in non-seed plants under stress conditions have ...

When cultured hepatocytes were incubated in cell culture medium at 4 degreesC for up to 30 h and then returned to 37 degreesC, blebbing of the plasma membrane, cell detachment, chromatin condensation and margination, enhanced nuclear stainability with Hoechst 33342, ruffling of the nuclear membrane, and DNA fragmentation occurred. Similar to hepatocytes, cultured liver endothelial cells exhibit...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the common clinical syndrome which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The severity extends from less to more advanced spectrums which link to biological, physical and chemical agents. Oxidative stress (OS)-related AKI has demonstrated the increasing of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and the decreasing of endogeno...

OBJECTIVES To study the balance between the pro-oxidative and antioxidative defence system after repeated painful stimulation in rats and the efficacy of the administration of different antioxidants (vitamins C, E, A, and selenium), analgesics (acetylsalicylic acid, morphine), and their combinations. METHODS Mechanical clamping of both hind limbs was applied for 10 min for 5 consecutive days ...

Abstract Rice production around the world is seriously at risk from drought stress. under stress has lower productivity and growth inhibition because to poor nutrient water uptake. This study aimed determine how upland rice responded morphologically antioxidant administration during vegetative stage. A randomized block design with two components three replications served as basis for experiment...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of selenium, gingko biloba, melatonin and vitamin E, which are antioxidants in the prevention of ulcerative lesions occurring in rats exposed to immobility and cold stress by using comparative histochemical and statistical methods. Material and Methods: 6 groups were created with 42 Wistar albino rats; control, ulcer (performed by im...

13 There is increasing interest in comparing species of related organisms for their susceptibility 14 to thermal extremes in order to evaluate potential vulnerability to climate change. 15 Comparisons are typically undertaken on individuals collected from the field with or without 16 a period of acclimation. However this approach does not allow the potential contributions of 17 environmental an...
