This article studies the response of mutants impaired in ABA signalling (abi1-1) and biosynthesis (aba1-1) to a combination of water deficit and heat stress.

One preserved mussel specimen including both the left and right valves. The specimen exhibits a quadrate shape; moderately thick shell; white internal coloring; dark brown external coloring; external sculpturing in the form of ridges. Collected in the Guadalupe basin. The specimen measures between 60 - 100 mm in length and was assessed to be relatively-recently dead when collected.

This review article calls for establishing the CaMV 35S promoter as a quantitative reference standard for transcription activity in plants.

Article accompanying a poster presentation for the 2011 Computational Neuroscience Annual Meeting. This article discusses research on contributing factors in the judgement of fairness by monetary value.

Article talks about how the number of described contact sites between different subcellular compartments and structures in eukaryotic cells has increased dramatically in recent years, which has substantially reinforced the well-known premise that these kinds of connections are essential for overall cellular organization. The authors discuss contact sites involving plant lipid droplets (LDs), including LD-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) connections that mediate the biogenesis of new LDs at the ER, LD-peroxisome connections.

Opinion article covering grand challenges to aquatic physiology based on the five "grand challenges in organismal biology" proposed by Schwenk et al. (2007). This article also provides a list of specific examples of emerging areas of research interest in aquatic physiology.

Article accompanying a poster presentation for the 2011 Computational Neuroscience Annual Meeting. This article discusses gender difference of emotional bias in sharing love.

This article describes Amela and Verse, two Streptomyces phages isolated by enrichment on Streptomyces venezuelae (ATCC 10712) from two different soil samples.

This article identifies and characterizes the omega-3 fatty acid desaturase gene family in Gossypium hirsutum, with an emphasis on identifying omega-3 fatty acid desaturase involved in cold temperature adaption.

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

This article uses the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) as a model species for studying how microclimates serve as refuge against severe weather conditions.
