UNDERSTANDING HEAT TOLERANCE IN VEGETABLES: PHYSIOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR INSIGHTS, AND CONTEMPORARY GENOMIC APPROACHES FOR ENHANCING HEAT STRESS RESILIENCE

The increasing threat of heat stress in agriculture, fueled by the relentless rise in global temperatures, presents a formidable challenge for vegetable crops.High-temperature stress instigates intricate morphological, anatomical, and physiological changes in vegetables, resulting in a noticeable decline in yield and an overall compromise in qualit

Future long-term space exploration missions require the implementation of circular life support systems for the supply of water, oxygen and food from mission wastes.Therefore, separation systems dealing with multi-phasic streams need to be addressed.The BioHarvest (BHV) study focused on solid/liquid separation in space with the aim to demonstrate t

Animal and plant eukaryotic pathogens, such as the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and the potato late blight agent Phytophthora infestans, are widely divergent eukaryotic microbes.Yet they both produce secretory virulence and pathogenic proteins that alter host cell functions.In P.falciparum, export of parasite proteins to the host er

A classroom alphaville clothing community agreements activity is described to cultivate a critically compassionate learning community.Reflections on co-developing and implementing these agreements in collaboration with college students are described.By facilitating opportunities for critically reflexive dialogues with students, a set of agreements
