Wind speed affects the rate and kinetics of stomatal conductance.

Understanding the relationship between wind speed and gas exchange in plants is a longstanding challenge. Our aim was to investigate the impact of wind speed on maximum rates of gas exchange and the kinetics of stomatal responses. We conducted experiments in different angiosperm and fern species using an infrared gas analyzer equipped with a controlled leaf fan, enabling precise control of the boundary layer conductance.

Induction of stomatal opening following a night-chilling event alleviates physiological damage in mango trees.

Chilling events have become more frequent with climate change and are a significant abiotic factor causing physiological damage to plants and, consequently, reducing crop yield. Like other tropical and subtropical plants, mango (Mangifera indica L.) is particularly sensitive to chilling events, especially if they are followed by bright sunny days.

Current status and perspectives in the surgical and oncological management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary liver tumor after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Management depends on their resectability at the time of diagnosis. Two types can be distinguished by imaging: resectable ICCs amenable to surgery and locally advanced and/or metastatic ICCs, that are treated by chemotherapy, radiotherapy or loco-regional treatment (radioembolization, chemoembolization, intra-arterial chemotherapy and thermoablation).

A role for ethylene signaling and biosynthesis in regulating and accelerating CO - and abscisic acid-mediated stomatal movements in Arabidopsis.

Little is known about long-distance mesophyll-driven signals that regulate stomatal conductance. Soluble and/or vapor-phase molecules have been proposed. In this study, the involvement of the gaseous signal ethylene in the modulation of stomatal conductance in Arabidopsis thaliana by CO /abscisic acid (ABA) was examined.
