World population is increasing at an alarming rate and is expected to reach about six billion
by the end of year 2050. On the other hand food productivity is decreasing due to the effect …

Plants respond with changes in their pattern of gene expression and protein products when
exposed to low temperatures. Thus ability to adapt has an impact on the distribution and …

Bacteria use complex strategies to coordinate temperature-dependent gene expression.
Many genes encoding heat shock proteins and virulence factors are regulated by …

The marine environment covers almost three quarters of the planet and is where evolution
took its first steps. Extremophile microorganisms are found in several extreme marine …

CspA, the major cold-shock protein of Escherichia coli, is dramatically induced during the
cold-shock response. The amino acid sequence of CspA shows 43% identity to the" cold …

Plants are incapable of escaping from a changing environment. Therefore, they have
developed sophisticated mechanisms for acclimation and survival under unfavorable …

Cold shock proteins are multifunctional RNA/DNA binding proteins, characterized by the
presence of one or more cold shock domains. In humans, the best characterized members of …

Temperate plants are capable of developing freezing tolerance when they are exposed to
low nonfreezing temperatures. Acquired freezing tolerance involves extensive …

Extreme marine environments have been the subject of many studies and scientific
publications. For many years, these environmental niches, which are characterized by high …

Trehalose accumulates dramatically in microorganisms during heat shock and osmotic
stress and helps protect cells against thermal injury and oxygen radicals. Here we …
