How do rootstocks mediate scion salinity tolerance under salt stress?
Grafting in tomato has been investigated mainly in small-scale experiments, demonstrating morphological, physiological, and metabolic changes in the scion mediated by the rootstock. By grafting a scion onto different rootstocks, scion salt tolerance.....»»
Mindfulness is a powerful tool to reduce workplace stress, study finds
In the fast-paced corporate world where stress can be an unwelcome colleague for many employees, SFU researchers have found that mindfulness can reduce workplace stress by helping to narrow employees' views of work tasks as threats......»»
Scientists shed light on how stressed cells sequester protein-forming mRNAs
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have illuminated one of the important ways that cells respond to stress. The findings could also be relevant to Alzheimer's, ALS and other diseases in which this mechanism may be abnormally active......»»

Researchers assess how sea level rise will affect the health of freshwater mussels and other salt-sensitive species
Investigators recently studied several species of freshwater mussels, which are endangered and are especially sensitive to changes in water quality, to explore the ramifications of sea-level rise in coastal rivers. The research published in Environme.....»»
Safer neighborhoods may mitigate risk of child abuse
Researchers have long suspected that neighborhoods can be a source of risk or protection for child well-being. A new Rutgers study supports this assumption and finds that when parents feel higher levels of stress or hopelessness about their surroundi.....»»
Balancing budget and system security: Approaches to risk tolerance
Data breaches are a dime a dozen. Although it’s easy to look at that statement negatively, the positive viewpoint is that, as a result, cybersecurity professionals have plenty of learning moments. Learning what went wrong and why can be a good sani.....»»
Experiment demonstrates how worm hosts and associated microbiome jointly contribute to environmental adaptation
A Kiel research team has used a near-natural compost mesocosm experiment to demonstrate that worm hosts and the associated microorganisms jointly mediate adaptation to a novel environment.....»»

New quantitative tracer helps to investigate bioaccumulation of nanoplastics in freshwater ecosystems
Nanoplastics (NPs) can cause a variety of adverse effects in humans, including physical damage, oxidative stress, impaired cell signaling, and developmental defects. The monitoring of NPs in the environment still remains a challenge due to their smal.....»»
Study reveals molecular mechanism underlying cross-membrane transport of plant hormone abscisic acid
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key plant hormone produced in response to abiotic stress such as drought and salt. It is mainly synthesized in roots and vascular tissues and transported to specific sites to exert physiological functions. Several ABA transpo.....»»
An age gap in the C-suite makes companies more innovative
In order to innovate, companies have to play the long game. Cycles of R&D experimentation, iteration and market-testing require patience and a certain amount of risk-tolerance. For boards attempting to push an innovation imperative, this is a serious.....»»
Soluble protein extraction facilitates the salt-induced swelling of pork meat
Salt-induced swelling is a crucial phenomenon in pork meat processing, significantly influencing the meat's water-holding capacity (WHC). Existing theories focus on the role of myofibrillar proteins, especially myosin and actin, in swelling. However,.....»»
Climate extremes hit stressed economies even harder, study shows
Economies already under stress respond more strongly to weather events like heat waves, river floods and tropical cyclones, a study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters shows......»»
Surpassing the human eye: Machine learning image analysis rapidly determines chemical mixture composition
