A TRANSPORTABLE TEMPERATURE AND HEATWAVE CONTROL DEVICE (TENTACLE) FOR LABORATORY AND FIELD SIMULATIONS OF DIFFERENT CLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOS IN AQUATIC MICRO- AND MESOCOSMS

A transportable temperature and heatwave control device (TENTACLE) for laboratory and field simulations of different climate change scenarios in aquatic micro- and mesocosms

Future global climate change with higher mean temperatures and increased intensity and frequency of heatwaves as extreme weather events will affect aquatic ecosystems with, yet, unpredictable severity and consequences.Although models suggest increased risk of species extinction up to the year 2050 for series of different climate change scenarios, e

Changes in concentration of protein and nucleic acids in the endosperm during ovule development in Clivia miniata

Changes of protein 141 and nucleic acid concentrations in micropylar and chalazal parts of the endosperm during exponential and stationary phases of embryo growth (Clivia miniata Regel) were examined.The following facts were established: 1.evident two-phase synthesis of protein, DNA and RNA in the endosperm, 2.existence of chalaza-micropyle concent
