Fu et al. (2011) found that MH63 was the most tolerant variety to high temperate in a total of frequently-used 39 restorer and maintainer lines at flowering stage.
This reflects the general trend that indica rice varieties are grown in tropical and subtropical regions of low latitude and low altitude with warmer climatic conditions and japonica in high altitudes or temperate regions of high latitudes with cooler climatic conditions.
Five different Asterochloris clades occurred in high alpine and temperate regions (Hochtor, Ruine Homburg and Gynge Alvar) but none at the hot and arid Tabernas field site in SE-Spain.
The operation of these mechanisms has been characterized in high mountain plants in temperate regions of Europe (Ensminger et al. 2004; Porcar-Castell et al. 2012), North America (Zarter et al. 2006) and Australia (Ball et al. 1991); in these cases, a marked thermal seasonality defines a long winter and a short growing period.
In high income countries in temperate parts of the world, the focus in heat and health research has been on clinical health effects during 'heat waves' (6), as it is assumed that most of the year the temperatures are not hot enough to cause heat-related health effects.
The sustainability of rural communities in much of Qinghai Province is premised on the economic and ecological functions of, and the social networks developed in, the high altitude temperate grasslands.
The LD decay distance was much higher in temperate than in tropical and subtropical lines, because tropical and subtropical lines are more diverse and contain more rare alleles than temperate lines.
The LD decay distance differed among chromosomes and ranged between 1 to 10 kb, increased with the increase of MAF and with smaller sample sizes, was much higher in temperate than in tropical and subtropical lines.
One caveat is that the level of immunization is usually higher in temperate zones than in tropical zones.
High-étage clouds form 3000-7600 m in high latitudes, 5000-12000 m in temperate latitudes, and 6100-18000 m in low, tropical latitudes.
