Cold stress is one of the harsh environmental stresses that adversely affect plant growth and
crop yields in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, plants have evolved mechanisms to …

The mammalian central circadian clock, located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN),
coordinates the timing of physiology and behavior to local time cues. In the SCN, second …

Animals have internal clocks that generate biological rhythms. In mammals, clock genes
such as Period form the circadian clock to generate approximately 24-h biological rhythms …

Nearly all circadian clocks maintain a period that is insensitive to temperature changes, a
phenomenon known as temperature compensation (TC). Yet, it is unclear whether there is …

Circadian rhythms are∼ 24‐h biological oscillations that enable organisms to anticipate
daily environmental cycles, so that they may designate appropriate day/night functions that …

Circadian regulation and temperature dependency are important orchestrators of molecular
pathways. How the integration between these two drivers is achieved, is not understood. We …

Lonicera japonica is not only an important resource of traditional Chinese medicine, but also
has very high horticultural value. Studies have been performed on the physiological …

Drugs that induce reversible slowing of metabolic and physiological processes would have
great value for organ preservation, especially for organs with high susceptibility to hypoxia …

A defining property of circadian clocks is temperature compensation, characterized by the
resilience of their near 24-hour free-running periods against changes in environmental …

Does the circadian clock keep running under such hypothermic states as daily torpor and
hibernation? This fundamental question has been a research subject for decades but has …
