The centrality of redox regulation and sensing of reactive oxygen species in abiotic and biotic stress acclimatization.

During land plant evolution, the number of genes encoding for components of the thiol redox regulatory network and the generator systems of reactive oxygen species (ROS) expanded, tentatively indicating that they have a role in tailored environmental acclimatization. This hypothesis has been validated both experimentally and theoretically during the last few decades. Recent developments of dynamic redox-sensitive GFP (roGFP)-based in vivo sensors for H2O2 and the redox potential of the glutathione pool have paved the way for dissecting the kinetics changes that occur in these crucial parameters in response to environmental stressors.

Investigation of Low-Cost FDM-Printed Polymers for Elevated-Temperature Applications.

While fused deposition modeling (FDM) and other relatively inexpensive 3D printing methods are nowadays used in many applications, the possible areas of using FDM-printed objects are still limited due to mechanical and thermal constraints. Applications for space, e.g.

Interactions among competing nematode species affect population growth rates.

Investigations of the interplay of organisms in an ecological community are a prerequisite to understanding the processes that shape the structures of those communities. Among several types of interactions, interest in the positive interactions of species that compete for the same resource has grown, as they may provide a mechanism enabling coexistence. In the laboratory experiment described herein, the effects of interspecific interaction on the population growth of two bacterial-feeding nematode species, Panagrolaimus cf.
