Specific alkaline phosphatase activity as an indicator of phosphorus status in the plankton community of a by Enis Hrustić, Stijepo Ljubimir, Svjetlana Bobanović-Ćolić, Ingrid Ivančić

“…Because of the similarity in seasonal hydrological features, we assume that the general pattern of switching from P- to N-limitation of phytoplankton growth also occurs in other highly stratified estuaries along the coastal karst of the eastern Adriatic Sea during the lowest river discharges and groundwater activities in summer-early autumn before the rainy season. …”

Investigation of Abundance and Diversity of Cantharidin Compounds in the Hycleus colligatus, Mylabris schrenki, Mylabris cincta, and Hycleus schah Species from Kerman Province, Ira... by Sara sadat Nezhad-ghaderi, Arastoo Badoei-dalfard, Jamasb Nozari

“…The results showed that only males can synthesize cantharidin and transfer it to females during mating. Mated females get this toxin from males during mating and use it for defending eggs from attacking predators and inducing feeding versions in predators exposed to the toxin. …”

Identification and analysis of bHLH transcription factor family in red raspberry based on transcriptome sequencing by HE Zhimin1,2, ZHANG Junxin1,2, YU Liping1,2, HU Kang1,2, JI Fengqi1,2, HUANG Tiran1,2, YANG Mingfeng1,2*, MA Lanqing1,2

“…The results were as follows:(1)A total of 95 bHLH transcription factor family members were identified in red raspberry fruits.(2)Most of the bHLH transcription factor family members were unstable hydrophobic proteins; and more than half of them were localized in the nucleus.(3)bHLH transcription factor N-terminal contained the conserved His5-Glu9-Arg13 sequence and C-terminal contained the conserved Leu sequence.(4)The phylogenetic tree divided the family members into 20 subfamilies, of which the R subfamily had the most members with 12.(5)The expression pattern map indicated that the bHLH transcription factor was expressed at a higher level during the green fruit stage and at a lower level during the ripening stage. …”

Effects of atypical water-level fluctuations on macrophyte species composition, ecological structure, and identification of water-level Indicator Species for coastal wetlands by Danielle Sylvia Montocchio, Patricia Chow-Fraser

“…Low WLs were dominated by nearshore emergent and rosette basal species, whereas unrooted submergent and floating species were more prevalent during high WLs. An unprecedented development of a dead tree zone during Period 2, attributable to these atypical WL fluctuations, potentially prevented nearshore species from colonizing. …”
