Screening Fe deficiency-tolerant genotypes is an environment-friendly and long-term effective strategy to cope with bicarbonate chlorosis stress in kiwifruit. We investigated the physiological response of two Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa genotypes, cv. ‘Hayward’ and cv. ‘Tomuri’, when grown in the control solution (20 µM FeEDDHA, Ct) and two iron-deprived conditions: (1) no Fe (0 µM FeEDDHA, -Fe) and (2) induction of Fe...

Background LACTB was recently identified as a mitochondrial tumour suppressor that negatively affects cancer cell proliferation by inducing cell death and/or differentiation, depending on the cell type and tissue. However, the detailed mechanism underlying the LACTB-induced cancer cell death is largely unknown. Methods We used cell-based, either in 2D or 3D conditions, and in vivo experiments to understand the LACTB mechanisms...

Purpose To assess 1) the cumulative greenhouse gas emissions –GHG- and global warming potential (methane – CH 4 - and nitrous oxide) from rice fields in the growing and fallow seasons, and 2) the environmental and agronomic drivers of CH 4 emissions, and their relative capacity to explain CH 4 variation. Methods A two-year multisite field experiment covering the agronomic and environmental variability of a rice growing area in...
