Micromonas strains of small prasinophyte green algae are found throughout the world's oceans, exploiting widely different niches. We grew arctic and temperate compared their susceptibilities to photoinactivation Photosystem II, counteracting II repair capacities, content, induction relaxation non-photochemical quenching. In strain NCMA 2099, cellular content active represents only about 50 % total protein, as a slow rate constant for clearance PsbA protein limits instantaneous repair....
Abstract Photosystem II (PSII) is a pigment‐protein complex that photochemically extracts electrons from water, generating the reductant supports biological productivity in all biomes. Estimating content of active PSII reaction centers liquid sample key input for estimating aquatic photosynthesis rates, as well analyzing phytoplankton stress responses. Established procedures quantification based on oxygen evolution are slow, imprecise and require dense cell suspensions, thus inapplicable to...
The enhanced mutualism hypothesis postulates that invasive plants promote self-growth by enriching beneficial microbes to establish a positive soil feedback. However, the roles of microorganisms may vary with increasing time for plant growth. Research on changes in microbial communities over has important implications understanding mechanisms underlying invasion. Due difficulty evaluating duration growth, few studies have quantified age. This study focuses weed Phytolacca americana L., which...
Mono-dominance by invasive species provides opportunities to explore determinants of plant distributions and abundance; however, linking mechanistic results from small scale experiments patterns in nature is difficult. We used experimentally derived competitive effects an invader North America, Acroptilon repens, on with which it co-occurs its native range Uzbekistan occurs non-native ranges individual-based models. found that yielded relative abundances other models were qualitatively...
The role of hybridization is significant in biological invasion, and thermotolerance a trait critical to range expansions. South American Sphagneticola trilobata now widespread China, threatening the native S. calendulacea by competition hybridization. Furthermore, upon formation, their F1 hybrid can quickly replace both parents. In this study, three taxa were used as model investigate consequences on cold tolerance, particularly effect subgenome dominance hybrid. Upon chilling treatments,...
Abstract Background The role of hybridization or admixture in the biological invasion has been recognized many invasive species. S ubgenome dominance was reported to occur instantly following divergent genomes, however, investigations on their consequences physiological response were still scarce . For species, thermotolerance critical range expansions. In this study, a F1 weed between chilling sensitive S. trilobata and tolerant native calendulacea treated with consecutive stress, Using...
