Eutrophication caused by anthropogenic nutrient pollution has become one of the most severe threats to water bodies. Nutrients enter water bodies from atmospheric precipitation, industrial and domestic wastewaters and ...

My PhD research project focused on membrane-bound inorganic pyrophosphatases (mPPases). mPPases are integral membrane proteins that hydrolyze pyrophosphate (PPi) and transport H+ and/or Na+ ions across membranes thereby ...

In marine benthic communities, herbivores consume a considerable proportion of primary producer biomass and, thus, generate selection for the evolution of resistance traits. According to the theory of plant defenses, ...

Once the seed has germinated, the plant is forced to face all the environmental changes in its habitat. In order to survive, plants have evolved a number of different acclimation systems. The primary reaction behind plant ...
