Variations in abiotic characteristics such as soil water availability and fertility impose different selective pressures on plant populations. This may produce intraspecific variability in functional traits, even at a fine spatial scale. We investigated whether functional traits related to water-use efficiency, resource-retention strategy, soil nutrient acquisition, and fire tolerance differ in species that occur in two different habitats of Brazilian Cerrado: rocky savannas and savanna woodlands. Rocky savannas occur over sandstone, quartzite outcrops and have shallow nutrient-poor and low-moisture rocky soils, while savanna woodlands occur over well-drained and deep soils with frequent fire regimes. We measured nine functional traits of 40 tree species that occur in both habitats. Rocky savanna individuals exhibited a greater water-use efficiency strategy. The resource-retention strategy in rocky savanna individuals was corroborated by lower adult maximum height. However, despite the lower nutrient availability in rocky savanna soils, we only detected lower leaf phosphorus content in individuals from this habitat. Furthermore, individuals from both habitats had equally thick bark, suggesting that the fire-defense strategy is related to a stable, rather than plastic trait. Overall, our results highlight the central role of contrasting soil water availability patterns in driving phenotypic plasticity within species. We conclude that savanna species are responding to water and nutrient availabilities, via plasticity in traits related to the resource-retention strategy, and preparing for future fires, via uniformly thick bark. Wide plant distribution in contrasting habitats is possible for species that can shift ecological strategies to survive in nutrient- and water-limited habitats such as rocky savannas. 相似文献

Background
Set comparisons permeate a large number of data analysis workflows, in particular workflows in biological sciences. Venn diagrams are frequently employed for such analysis but current tools are limited.Results
We have developed InteractiVenn, a more flexible tool for interacting with Venn diagrams including up to six sets. It offers a clean interface for Venn diagram construction and enables analysis of set unions while preserving the shape of the diagram. Set unions are useful to reveal differences and similarities among sets and may be guided in our tool by a tree or by a list of set unions. The tool also allows obtaining subsets’ elements, saving and loading sets for further analyses, and exporting the diagram in vector and image formats. InteractiVenn has been used to analyze two biological datasets, but it may serve set analysis in a broad range of domains.Conclusions
InteractiVenn allows set unions in Venn diagrams to be explored thoroughly, by consequence extending the ability to analyze combinations of sets with additional observations, yielded by novel interactions between joined sets. InteractiVenn is freely available online at: www.interactivenn.net. 相似文献5.

In fishes, arsenic (As) is absorbed via the gills and is capable of causing disturbance to the antioxidant system. The objective of present study was to evaluate antioxidant responses after As exposure in gills of zebrafish (Danio rerio, Cyprinidae). Fish were exposed for 48 h to three concentration of As, including the highest As concentration allowed by current Brazilian legislation (10 μg As/L). A control group was exposed to tap water (pH 8.0; 26 °C; 7.20 mg O2/L). As exposure resulted in (1) an increase (p < 0.05) of glutathione (GSH) levels after exposure to 10 and 100 μg As/L, (2) an increase of the glutamate cysteine ligase (GCL) activity in the same concentrations (p < 0.05), (3) no significant differences in terms of glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase and catalase activities; (4) a significantly lower (p < 0.05) oxygen consumption after exposure to 100 μg As/L; (4) no differences in terms of oxygen reactive species generation and lipid peroxidation content (p > 0,05). In the gills, only inorganic As was detected. Overall, it can be concluded that As affected the antioxidant responses increasing GCL activity and GSH levels, even at concentration considered safe by Brazilian legislation. 相似文献

Background
Exposure of cells to environmental stress conditions can lead to the interruption of several intracellular processes, in particular those performed by macromolecular complexes such as the spliceosome. 相似文献8.

Leprosy is an infectious and contagious spectral disease accompanied by a series of
immunological events triggered by the host response to the aetiologic agent,
Mycobacterium leprae . The induction and maintenance of the
immune/inflammatory response in leprosy are linked to multiple cell interactions and
soluble factors, primarily through the action of cytokines. The purpose of the
present study was to evaluate the serum levels of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and
its soluble receptors (sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2) in leprosy patients at different stages
of multidrug treatment (MDT) in comparison with non-infected individuals and to
determine their role as putative biomarkers of the severity of leprosy or the
treatment response. ELISA was used to measure the levels of these molecules in 30
healthy controls and 37 leprosy patients at the time of diagnosis and during and
after MDT. Our results showed increases in the serum levels of TNF-α and sTNF-R2 in
infected individuals in comparison with controls. The levels of TNF-α, but not
sTNF-R2, decreased with treatment. The current results corroborate previous reports
of elevated serum levels of TNF-α in leprosy and suggest a role for sTNF-R2 in the
control of this cytokine during MDT. 相似文献

Opportunistic infections are an increasingly common problem in hospitals, and the yeast Candida parapsilosis has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen. The aims of this study were to determine and compare (i) the prevalence rate among C. parapsilosis complex organisms isolated from blood in a public children’s hospital in São Paulo state, (ii) the ability of the complex C. parapsilosis species identified to produce biofilm and (iii) the antifungal susceptibility profiles. Forty-nine (49) specimens of isolated blood yeast were analyzed, previously identified as C. parapsilosis by conventional methods. After the molecular analysis, the isolates were characterized as C. parapsilosis sensu stricto (83.7 %), C. orthopsilosis (10.2 %) and C. metapsilosis (6.1 %). All species were able to form biofilm. The species with the highest biofilm production was C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, followed by C. orthopsilosis and further by C. metapsilosis. All of the strains have demonstrated similar susceptibility to fluconazole, caspofungin, voriconazole, cetoconazole and 5-flucytosine. Only one strain of C. parapsilosis was resistant to amphotericin B. Regarding itraconazole, 66.6 and 43.9 % isolates of C. metapsilosis and C. parapsilosis, respectively, have demonstrated to be susceptible dose-dependent, with one isolate of the latter species resistant to the drug. Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto has demonstrated to be the less susceptible, mainly to amphotericin B, caspofungin and “azoles” such as fluconazole. Therefore, C. metapsilosis and C. orthopsilosis are still involved in a restricted number of infections, but these data have become essential for there are very few studies of these species in Latin America. 相似文献
