High Light and Low Temperature Effect on D1 Synthesis and Turnover in the Chilling Sensitive Plant Lycopersicun Esculentum
Photoprotective mechanisms of a plant can become overwhelmed when high light is combined with low temperature. In the chilling sensitive plant tomato (Lycopersicun esculentum var. Mill Floramerica), these combined stresses were found to cause a decrease in de novo synthesis of D1, a component of …

The effect of dark chilling on circadian-regulated enzyme activities in tomato
… inhibits next day photosynthesis in chilling-sensitive plant species such as tomato and cucumber. In tomato, net photosynthesis is reduced 60% by an overnight chill at 4$\sp\circ$C. The mechanism for the inhibition of photosynthesis is unknown. However, one effect of the low temperature …

Susceptibility of a digital turbine control system to IEEE 802.11 compliant emissions.
… of radio transmissions interfering with sensitive plant equipment. Instances documented vary from minor instrument fluctuations to major plant transients including reactor trips. With the nuclear power industry moving toward digital technologies for control and reactor protection systems, …

Investigating the mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in the resurrection plant, myrothamnus flabellifolius (WELW)
Resurrection plants, including Myrothamnus flabellifolius, grow in shallow soil upon rocky outcrops where they experience regular periods of water stress. Associated with this is light stress. The presence of light under water limiting conditions can result in photo-oxidation which causes damage to …

The Pleasure of the Senses: The Art of Sensation in Shelley’s Poetics of Sensibility
… treatment of touch and Nature’s economy in ‘The Sensitive-Plant’ by juxtaposing Shelley’s poem with Erasmus Darwin’s cyclical system of Nature known as ‘organic happiness,’ which is recognised only by sympathetic sensibility. Chapter VI considers the intermingled imagery of scent and sympathetic …

Empirical investigation of de novo mutations conferring herbicide resistance
… mutants may arise spontaneously in any herbicide-sensitive weed population. Recognizing that the relative contribution of each of these three sources deeply affect what strategies should be applied to counteract herbicide resistance evolution, we aimed to provide experimental information to the …

Comparative physiology of radish populations with differential sensitivity to O₃ and SO₂
Radish plants (Raphanus sativus L. cv Cherry Belle) were exposed to 0.10 μl l⁻¹ ozone (O₃) or 0.50 μl l⁻¹ sulfur dioxide (SO2) for 4 h d⁻¹, 3 d wk⁻¹ for 3 weeks. From these fumigated plants, individuals were selected that were resistant or sensitive to these pollutants. The selected plants were …

The functional characterisation of the XhABFA transcription factor from the resurrection plant Xerophyta humilis
… in leaves and roots, is rare amongst vascular plants. However, the trait has evolved multiple times in a small, diverse group of angiosperms collectively known as “resurrection plants”. The physiological, morphological and metabolic changes that take place during VDT have been well …

A Comparison of Vegtation Indices and Conventional Ecotoxicological Plant Growth Metrics to Assess the Lethal and Sublethal Effects of Atrazine on Smooth Cordgrass,'Spartina alterniflora'
… Atrazine targets photosynthetic pathways in plants, disrupting electron transport along the photosystem II pathway (Huber, 1993), often resulting in inhibition of photosynthesis in many plant species. Aquatic microalgae and macrophytes are the most sensitive plant species tested to date …
