COMPLEX PATTERNS, UNPREDICTABLE CONSEQUENCES: THE DISTRIBUTION OF SEALED LAND ALONG THE URBAN-RURAL GRADIENT IN BARCELONA

Complex Patterns, Unpredictable Consequences: The Distribution of Sealed Land along the Urban-rural Gradient in Barcelona

The present study explores the spatial pattern of selected soil sealing indicators in the province of Barcelona as a contribution to the debate on land consumption driven by urban growth in southern Europe.Four indicators of soil sealing (percentage of pervious land, per-capita sealed land, soil sealing intensity and diversity in soil sealing inten

Postharvest Ultraviolet Radiation in Fruit and Vegetables: Applications and Factors Modulating Its Efficacy on Bioactive Compounds and Microbial Growth

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been considered a deleterious agent that living organisms must avoid.However, many of the acclimation changes elicited by UV induce a wide range of positive effects in plant physiology through the elicitation of secondary antioxidant metabolites and natural defenses.Therefore, this fact has changed the original UV con

ARS2 Plays Diverse Roles in DNA Damage Response, Fungal Development, and Pathogenesis in the Plant Pathogenic Fungus Fusarium graminearum

Arsenite-resistance protein 2 (Ars2) is an important nuclear Figure Skating - Clothing - Adult Dresses protein involved in various RNA metabolisms in animals and plants, but no Ars2 ortholog has been studied in filamentous fungi.Although it is an essential gene in most model eukaryotes, FgARS2 null mutants were viable in the plant pathogenic fungus
