Silicon is absorbed as uncharged mono-silicic acid by plant roots through passive
absorption of Lsi1, an influx transporter belonging to the aquaporin protein family. Lsi2 then …

Plants are autotrophic and photosynthetic organisms that both produce and consume
sugars. Soluble sugars are highly sensitive to environmental stresses, which act on the …

Each year ecotoxicological problems become increasingly complex and encompass
broader spatial and temporal scales. Our practical understanding must evolve accordingly to …

Scientific evidence that chemically active pesticides are residually present on food, in water
supplies, in the soil, and that these chemicals may interfere with animal growth and …

The influence of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on populations of microorganisms has been the
subject of serious investigation for at least the past 20–25 years. UVR that is applicable to …

This review summarizes current knowledge on ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced cellular
and molecular damage in marine ectotherms (invertebrates and fish). UVR impairs sperm …

Ultraviolet‐B (UVB) radiation is a global stressor with potentially far‐reaching ecological
impacts. In the first quantitative analysis of the effects of UVB on aquatic organisms, we used …

The role of photosynthetically active radiation (400‐700 nm)(PAR) in modifying plant
sensitivity and photomorphogenic responses to ultraviolet‐B (280–320 nm)(UV‐B) radiation …

The potential role of ultraviolet‐B (UV‐B)‐induced secondary plant metabolites as mediators
of multiple trophic responses in terrestrial ecosystems is considered through review of the …

We explore some of the ramifications arising from superflares on the evolutionary history of
Earth, other planets in the solar system, and exoplanets. We propose that the most powerful …
