How to survive mild winters: Cold acclimation, deacclimation, and reacclimation in winter wheat and barley.

Plant Physiol Biochem

January 2025

Laboratory of Plant Stress Biology and Biotechnology, Department of Plant Genetics and Crop Breeding, Czech Agrifood Research Center, Drnovská 507, 161 06, Prague 6, Ruzyně, Czech Republic.

Cold acclimation and vernalization represent the major evolutionary adaptive responses to ensure winter survival of temperate plants. Due to climate change, mild winters can paradoxically worsen plant winter survival due to cold deacclimation induced by warm periods during winter. It seems that the ability of cold reacclimation in overwintering Triticeae cereals is limited, especially in vernalized plants.

Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) is increasingly used along with scientific knowledge (SK) to understand climate change. The multi evidence base (MEB) offers ways of combining knowledge systems together. Nonetheless, there is little guidance on how to use MEB approaches in research.

This paper reviews the methods and approaches used to humanely anesthetize (render unconscious) and or euthanize (kill) laboratory fish (in research settings), with a specific focus on the fathead minnow. We surveyed the literature (333 scientific studies published 2004-2021) to examine euthanasia methods used for various life stages. Our findings showed that many published scientific papers do not provide an adequate description of anesthesia or euthanasia methods, particularly for larval fathead minnows.

Addressing the Environmental Impact of Pharmaceuticals: A Call to Action.

Br J Hosp Med (Lond)

January 2025

Nuffield Department of Primary Health Care Sciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.

The contribution of health care to environmental and climate crises is significant, under-addressed, and with consequences for human health. This editorial is a call to action. Focusing on pharmaceuticals as a major environmental threat, we examine pharmaceutical impacts across their lifecycle, summarising greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and biodiversity loss, and outlining challenges and opportunities to reduce this impact.
