All reef-forming corals depend on the photosynthesis performed by their algal symbiont, and
such corals are therefore restricted to the photic zone. The intensity of light in this zone …

A gene encoding a fluorescent protein from the stony coral Lobophyllia hemprichii has been
cloned in Escherichia coli and characterized by biochemical and biophysical methods. The …

GFP-like fluorescent proteins (FPs) are the key color determinants in reef-building corals (class
Anthozoa, order Scleractinia) and are of considerable interest as potential genetically …

The transfer of water from phloem into xylem is thought to mitigate increasing hydraulic tension
in the vascular system of trees during the diel cycle of transpiration. Although a putative …

Many studies have examined the evolution of bacterial mutants that are resistant to specific
antibiotics, and many of these focus on concentrations at and above the MIC. Here we ask for …

Reef-building corals harbor an astounding diversity of colorful GFP (green fluorescent
protein)-like proteins. These pigments can easily be detected and thus may serve as intrinsic …

Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments are responsible for the vivid colouration of
many reef-building corals and have been proposed to act as photoprotectants. Their role …

For a variety of coral species, we have studied the molecular origin of their coloration to assess
the contributions of host and symbiont pigments. For the corals Catalaphyllia jardinei and …

Regulation of root cell K + is essential for acclimation to low oxygen stress. The potential roles
of GORK (depolarization-activated guard cell outward-rectifying potassium) channels and …

Using mRNA sequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly, we identified, cloned, and
characterized 9 previously undiscovered fluorescent protein (FP) homologs from Aequorea …
