MRP functional activity and character in the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima
Using laser scanning confocal microscope (LACM) and flow cytometry (FCM), we found that MK571, a specific inhibitor of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP), could increase the accumulation of calcein-...

Effect of organic solvent on fungicide toxicity to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea
Organic solvents are widely used in bioassay experiments to dissolve water-insoluble technical grade fungicides, and the added organic solvents may substantially influence toxicity of the fungicides tested. In...

The formulations of site-scale processes affect landscape-scale forest change predictions: a comparison between LANDIS PRO and LANDIS-II forest landscape models
Forest landscape models (FLMs) are important tools for simulating forest changes over broad spatial and temporal scales. The ability of FLMs to accurately predict forest changes may be significantly influenced...

Open AccessEnvironmental causes of between-population difference in growth rate of a high-altitude lizard
Ectothermic animals living in cold (high latitude or high elevation) regions are predicted to grow slower due to limited thermal opportunities for activity and food resources than those living in warm regions....

Co-deposition of silicon with rare earth elements (REEs) and aluminium in the fern Dicranopteris linearis from China
Dicranopteris linearis is a fern that accumulates unusually high concentrations (up to 0.3% dry weight) of rare earth elements (REEs) in China. Previously, we reported that D. linearis accumulates high concentrat...

Abscisic acid primes rice seedlings for enhanced tolerance to alkaline stress by upregulating antioxidant defense and stress tolerance-related genes
Abscisic acid (ABA) has been shown to prime rice seedlings for enhanced tolerance to alkaline stress under both greenhouse and field conditions. This study aimed to understand the mechanism of the ABA priming ...

Effects of Environmental Variables on Spatiotemporal Variations of Nitrous Oxide Fluxes in the Pristine Riparian Marsh, Northeast China
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas, and the riparian marsh plays an important role in modulating atmospheric concentrations of N2O. To investigate the effects of environmental variables on spatiot...

Evolution of placental invasion and cancer metastasis are causally linked
Among mammals, placental invasion is correlated with vulnerability to malignancy. Animals with more invasive placentation (for example, humans) are more vulnerable to malignancy. To explain this correlation, w...

Quantifying the effects of remnant seed sources on post-volcanic-eruption forest recovery through historic landscape reconstruction from 1710 to 2010
The rate and trajectory of forest landscape recovery after a volcanic eruption rely largely on available seed sources and patterns of seed dispersal. However, quantifying the importance of various seed sources...

Variation in rare earth element (REE), aluminium (Al) and silicon (Si) accumulation among populations of the hyperaccumulator Dicranopteris linearis in southern China
Dicranopteris linearis is a rare earth element (REE), aluminium (Al) and silicon (Si) hyperaccumulator plant which occurs in southern China. To date, there have been no studies on the variation in elemental accum...

Degradation of long-chain n-alkanes by a novel thermal-tolerant Rhodococcus strain
A novel bacterial strain, CH91, was isolated from a high-temperature oil reservoir. Morphological characterization, phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequence and genome relatedness indicated that the str...

Temperature fluctuation promotes the thermal adaptation of soil microbial respiration
The magnitude of the feedback between soil microbial respiration and increased mean temperature may decrease (a process called thermal adaptation) or increase over time, and accurately representing this feedba...
