Cryptomeria fortunei growth and development are usually affected by low temperatures. Despite the evergreen nature of this species, most needles turn yellowish-brown in cold winters. The underlying discoloration mechanisms that cause this phenomenon in response to cold acclimation remain...
One day cold treatment of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lines Chinese Spring, Cheyenne and two 5A chromosome substitution lines of Chinese Spring, Chinese Spring(Cheyenne 5A) and Chinese Spring(Spelta 5A)
Profound understanding of the mechanisms foodborne pathogenic bacteria utilize in adaptation to the environmental stress they encounter during food processing and storage is of paramount importance in design of control measures. Chill temperature is a central control measure applied in minimally pro...
Telenomus remus, an egg parasitoid capable of penetrating multi-layered egg masses, has emerged as a promising candidate for the biological control of Spodoptera frugiperda. Nevertheless, our prior investigations have uncovered that its limited cold tolerance represents a critical bottleneck in m...
Temperature is the primary environmental factor that restricts the growth and distribution of mangrove plants. With the escalating severity of global climate change, Kandelia obovata has gained widespread recognition as an ideal species for investigating the response mechanisms of mangroves to cold ...
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...
This experiment investigates the effect of mild cold-shock (32 degrees C, 24 hours) on the translatome of human HEK293 cells. After cold-shock, cells were treated with cycloheximide to block elongation, then sucrose density gradients were used to separate post-nuclear extracts into polysome and subp...
Background: Moraxella catarrhalis, a major nasopharyngeal pathogen of the human respiratory tract, is exposed to rapid downshifts of environmental temperature when humans breathe cold air. The prevalence of pharyngeal colonization and respiratory tract infections caused by M. catarrhalis is greatest...
Combined saline-alkali and cold stresses severely constrain plant growth at middle and high latitudes. Plants have evolved cross-adaptation mechanisms wherein exposure to one stress enhances resistance to another. However, the specific mechanisms driving cross-adaptation between saline-alkali and...
The ability to rapidly respond to changes in temperature is critical for insects and other ectotherms living in variable environments. In a physiological process termed rapid cold-hardening (RCH), exposure to non-lethal low temperature allows many insects to significantly increase their cold toleran...
