Temporal changes in the germination flux of cysts and the abundance of vegetative cells of the toxic dinoflagellate were investigated in Ago Bay, central Japan from July 2003 to December 2004. The germination flux (cells m day) was measured using 'plankton emergence trap/chambers (PET chambers)'. Germination of the cysts in the sediments occurred continuously during the study, ranging from 52 to 1753 cells m day, with no temporal trend. This germination pattern appeared to be promoted by a short mandatory dormancy period for newly formed cysts coupled with a broad temperature window for germination. For the vegetative populations, high abundances (>10 cells m) were recorded in the water column from spring to summer and from autumn to early winter. The size of the vegetative populations did not correlate with the cyst germination flux but rather larger vegetative populations were often observed when the water temperature was around 20°C, indicating that bloom development was mainly regulated by the temperature. Nonetheless, the continuous germination pattern of is advantageous enabling the germinated cells to immediately exploit favorable bloom conditions.

In the past decade, there has been an emerging gap between the demand and supply of vegetable oils globally for both edible and industrial use. Lipids are important biomolecules with enormous applications in the industrial sector and a major source of energy for animals and plants. Hence, to elevate the lipid content through metabolic engineering, new strategies have come up for triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation and in raising the lipid or oil yield in crop plants.

Land degradation and the effects of climate change are increasing arid lands, accelerating desertification, and leading to the loss of ecosystem services worldwide. This research focused on evaluating how human impact and environmental factors affect the development of in its natural habitat of coastal lomas. The study was carried out in the coastal lomas of Mangomarca-Peru, where phenotypic and ecological data on the plants were collected.

Article Synopsis
- Acacia nilotica is a tree known for its usefulness in farming and medicine, but it grows slowly from seeds, so scientists are trying to find ways to help it grow better.
- They tested a special treatment with colchicine on its seeds and found that it made the plants grow much taller and healthier compared to the seeds that didn't get the treatment.
- The treated plants showed improvements in many areas including shoot and root length, weight, and even the plants' ability to use sunlight and water more efficiently.

In bacteria, intracellular K is involved in the regulation of membrane potential, cytosolic pH, and cell turgor as well as in spore germination, environmental adaptation, cell-to-cell communication in biofilms, antibiotic sensitivity, and infectivity. The second messenger cyclic-di-AMP (c-di-AMP) has a central role in modulating the intracellular K concentration in many bacterial species, controlling transcription and function of K channels and transporters. However, our understanding of how this regulatory network responds to c-di-AMP remains poor.
