Plants use the Sun´s energy to synthesize the basic biomolecules that make up all the organic matter of all organisms of terrestrial ecosystems, including ourselves. Therefore, understanding their adaptive mechanisms to variations of environmental factors, both biotic and abiotic, is fundamental, and particularly relevant in the current context of rapid climate change. Some of the most important adaptive mechanisms of plants are the electrical and chemical signaling systems for the exchange of information between proximally and distally located cells. These signalling systems allow plants to dynamically coordinate the activities of all cells under a diversity of situations. In this Research Topic, we present eight articles that bring up new hypothesis and data to understand the mechanisms of systemic electrical signaling and the central role that it plays in adapting the whole plant to different stresses, as well as new findings on intracellular calcium and nitric oxide-based signaling pathways under stress, which could be extrapolated to non-plant research.
Magisk realism, klassiska frågeställningar, undergångsstämning och humor - allt blandas på ett oemotståndligt och omtumlande sätt i den Augustnominerade Korpens sång (först utg 1994), som är både en thriller och en kärlekshistoria. 14-årige David och hans lillasyster kommer från Thailand. Deras adoptivmamma har för länge sedan lämnat familjen för en ny kärlek, men syskonen har det bra hos adoptivpappan. Vi möter en rad udda, spännande människor. Bland dem den karismatiske Ravenius, en mystisk "sanningssägare" som reser runt i skolorna och talar så pessimistiskt om tillståndet i världen att många ungdomar förlorar all livslust. Men tro, hopp och kärlek är de starka motvikterna. David möter Ritva - "hon var vit och vacker och hade gett honom sitt hjärta". Vitaliteten och livsglädjen överväger trots allt.
Author of statues in the major churches of Padua and Venice, Giammaria Mosca was among the leading sculptors in northern Italy during the second and third decades of the sixteenth century. In 1529 Mosca was summoned by the King of Poland to erect his tomb in Cracow. From 1533 until the artist's death in 1574, documents at regular intervals record important commissions to Mosca throughout Poland from the Polish royal family, as well as from prominent members of the nobility and ecclesiastical hierarchy. Many of Mosca's inscribed and documented monuments survive in their original site and state and testify to the sculptor's key role in the diffusion in Eastern Europe of Italian Renaissance ide...
Now in its 4th edition, this book remains the ultimate reference for all questions regarding solvents and solvent effects in organic chemistry. Retaining its proven concept, there is no other book which covers the subject in so much depth, the handbook is completely updated and contains 15% more content, including new chapters on "Solvents and Green chemistry", "Classification of Solvents by their Environmental Impact", and "Ionic Liquids". An essential part of every organic chemist's library.
