To investigate the importance of different processes to heat stress tolerance, 45 Arabidopsis
(Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants and one transgenic line were tested for basal and acquired …

During the past two decades, coral reefs have experienced extensive degradation
worldwide. One etiology for this global degradation is a syndrome known as coral bleaching …

Environmental stressors such as increased sea surface temperatures are well-known for
contributing to coral bleaching; however, the effect of increased temperatures and …

To learn more about the function and regulation of small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) during
seed development, we studied sHSP expression in wild-type and seed maturation mutants …

Using a novel molecular biomaker system (MBS), we assessed the physiological status of
coral (Montastraea faveolata) challenged by heat stress by assaying specific cellular and …

The shallow-water reef coral Goniastrea aspera Verill 1865 has previously been reported to
demonstrate differences in within-colony susceptibility to bleaching at elevated sea …

Microcystins constitute a serious threat to the quality of drinking water worldwide. These
protein phosphatase inhibitors are formed by various cyanobacterial species, including …

The ubiquitous small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are well documented to act in vitro as
molecular chaperones to prevent the irreversible aggregation of heat-sensitive proteins …

Lipid analysis of rosette leaves from Arabidopsis has revealed an accumulation of
triacylglycerol (TAG) with advancing leaf senescence coincident with an increase in the …

Small heat-shock proteins (sHSPs) accumulate in plants in response to high-temperature
stress. Specific sHSPs, the cytosolic class I and class II proteins, are also expressed in the …
