The biodiversity of the Southern Balkans, part of the Mediterranean global biodiversity hot-spot, is threatened by land use intensification and abandonment, the latter causing forest encroachment of formerly open habitats.We investigated the impact of forest encroachment on butterfly species richness, community species composition and the represent
Ground temperature and hydrogeological conditions are key parameters for many engineering applications, such as the design of building basements and underground spaces and the assessment of shallow geothermal energy potential.Especially in urban areas, in the very shallow depths, it is diffi cult to fi nd natural undisturbed underground thermal con
We analyzed the susceptibility of Arabidopsis mutants with defects in salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA)/ethylene (ET) signaling to infection by Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV).Mutants cpr1-1 and cpr5-2, in which SA-dependent defense signaling is activated constitutively, were substantially more resistant than the wild type to systemic infe
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT) is a class III, NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase Hardwound Roll Towel that also modulates the activity of numerous non-histone proteins through deacylation.SIRT1 plays critical roles in regulating and integrating cellular energy metabolism, response to stress, and circadian rhythm by modulating epigenetic and transcriptional regu
