This article reports on the characterization of the different antioxidant mechanisms of tomato plants subjected to heat stress, salinity stress, or a combination of both stresses.

Article integrating ecophysiological information with the development of new high-resolution climatic layers for Antarctica, to better understand how the distribution of P. steinenii may respond to change over the next century under different IPCC climate change scenarios. The authors conclude that the species has the potential to expand its distribution to include parts of the west and east coasts of the Antarctic Peninsula and even coastal ice-free areas in parts of continental Antarctica. The authors also propose P. steinenii as an effective native sentinel and indicator species of climate change in the Antarctic.

Article discusses the importance of valuing an alternative, ecological, aesthetic and post-modern-exotic hermeneutic in viewing Latin America, and discusses the colonial impression of a "exotic" Latin America.

Article on the biosynthesis of isoflavonoid phytoalexins and the incorporation of sodium [1,2-(13)C2] acetate into phaseollin and kievitone.

Article states that despite remarkable advances in cancer research, cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The author's proposed framework for cancer diagnostics detects cancers and their tissues of origin using a unified model of cancers encompassing 33 cancers represented in The Cancer Genome Atlas. Their model exploits the learned features of different cancers reflected in the respective dysregulated epigenomes, holding a great promise in early cancer detection.

This article discusses development plasticity of cardiorespiratory physiology in two air-breathing anabantid fishes.

Data management plan for the grant, "Chemical-Guided Identification of Primary Metabolic Targets for Improvement of Hydroxy Fatty Acid Synthesis in Physaria fendleri." Research on the identification of primary metabolic targets using chemical-guided identification. The first objective of this research is to conduct metabolomics analysis on P. fendleri embryos cultured with two identified chemical regulators of fatty acid metabolism. The second objective of this research is to generate a metabolic flux map of embryos treated with these regulatory compounds in order to determine how metabolic rates and carbon flow can be manipulated to improve HFA production in this species and increase its commercial viability. With properties that could replace imported castor oil, research on the crop in discussion is situated directly in the scope of the USDA-AFRI Education and Workforce Development goals.

This article provides a commentary on the article "Feedback stabilizes propagation of synchronous spiking in cortical neural networks" by Moldakarimov, S., Bazhenov, M., and Sejnowski, T.J.

Article indicating directions in which the field of Developmental Physiology might move. It suggests three categories of challenges: demonstrating broad relevance, promoting conceptual advances, and improving experimental approaches.

Article describes study which tested the hypothesis that developmental hypoxia alters cardiomyocyte physiology in a manner that protects the heart from hypoxic stress.

Article on the composition of the four cell wall fractions in diverse maize genotypes and to understand how this composition influences the resistance to pests, ethanol capacity and digestibility. Results evidence that there is no maize cell wall ideotype among the tested for optimal performance for various uses, and maize plants should be specifically bred for each particular application.

This article evaluates the role of endozoochory in herbivorous and sympatric bird species in sub-Antarctic Chile. The authors hypothesize that fragments of bryophyte gametophytes retrieved from their feces are viable and capable of regenerating new plant tissue. This relationship may have important implications in the way bryophytes disperse and colonize habitats facing climate change.

Article reports observations of two Subarctic North Pacific puffin species in the North Atlantic near the coast of north-west Greenland.

Article presents research that explores proanthocyanidin (PA) biosynthesis routes in plants. The data suggests that different species have evolved different routes for PA biosynthesis.

Article on the constitutive activation of proinflammatory transcription factors such as STAT3 and NF-KB that play a pivotal role in the proliferation and survival of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC).

Article describing the isolation and genomic characterization of 116 phages that infect Microbacterium spp.

Article discusses concerns and controversy related to the gold mining ‘Volta Grande Project’ at the Xingu River in northern Brazil.

This article summarizes three controversial aspects of the Volta Grande project.

Article on heart rate variability characteristics in sedentary postmenopausal women following six months of exercise training.

Article describes how non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently plaguing the population at pandemic proportions and is expected to become more prevalent over the next decade. The authors investigated the hypothesis that exposure to a mixture of gasoline and diesel engine emissions (MVE), coupled with the concurrent consumption of a HF diet, promotes the development of a NAFLD phenotype within the liver.

Article describes study which tested if targeted and persistent changes in steady-state protein expression underlie this hypoxic heart phenotype, using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) proteomics.

This article discusses AGC kinase genes. The authors report here the isolation and characterization of the first AGC kinase gene identified in Medicago truncatula, MtIRE.

Article on large P body-like RNPs forming in C. elegans oocytes in response to arrested ovulation, heat shock, osmotic stress, and anoxia and regulated by the major sperm protein pathway.

Article on the publication of a volume of articles of researchers addressing various fundamental questions in lipid signaling in plants.
