2019-01-03Divergent trends in the risk of spring frost damage to trees in Europe with recent warmingFrost events during the active growth period of plants can cause extensive frost damage with tremendous economic losses and dramatic ecological consequences .On the other hand , it has been argued that rising temperature in late winter and early spring might trigger the so called “ false spring ” , i . e . , early onset of growth that is follo... Frost events during the active growth period of plants can cause extensive frost damage with tremendous economic losses and dramatic ecological consequences. Cannell (1985) hypothesized, that climate warming in boreal and temperate zones increases the risk of frost damage to trees. This hypothesis has been addressed in several studies with model...Read More -

2018-12-07Protection from disulfide stress by inhibition of Pap1 nuclear export in fission yeastThe protection method of blocking Crm1 mediated export of nuclear proteins unraveled in this study may find medical relevance as an alternative to chemical drugs currently being tested to block the nuclear export of tumor suppressors in cancer therapy .The relevant paper entitled “ Protection from Disulfide Stress by Inhibition of Pap1 Nuclear ... Previous work from Dr. David W. Ow’s lab elucidated a new Pap1-Oxs1 pathway specific for the diamide-induced disulfide stress response in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which appears to be evolutionarily conserved (He et al. 2017. Nucleic Acids Res. 45: 106–114). In current study, PhD student Yan Chen and colleagues found that ov...Read More -

2018-11-21Reduced geographical variability in spring phenology of temperate trees with recent warmingAdvancements of spring phenology due to climate warming have been observed worldwide in the last decades , however .We addressed this question through analyzing temporal changes in the geographical variability for 22 spring phenological events ( both leaf-out and flowering phenology ) of 16 temperate tree species in Europe . This study , for the... Advancements of spring phenology due to climate warming have been observed worldwide in the last decades, however, whether the occurrence of species-specific phenology events among populations over broad space has been converged or diverged with recent warming has been little explored. We addressed this question through analyzing temporal change...Read More -
