Cold stress negatively affects maize (Zea mays L.) growth, development and yield. Metabolic adjustments contribute to the adaptation of maize under cold stress. We show here that the transcription factor INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION 1 (ZmICE1) plays a prominent role in reprogramming amino a...
Salt marshes are highly productive ecosystems where microbial communities drive key
transformations of organic matter at rates often exceeding those of oceanic and inland
environments. Viruses are recognised as important drivers and regulators of global
biogeochemical cycling, y...
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia and bacteraemia and is capable of remarkable phenotypic plasticity, responding rapidly to environmental change. Pneumococcus is a nasopharyngeal commensal, but is responsible for severe, acute infections followin...
