In agreement with our findings, the correlation between intracellular trehalose content and resistance to multiple stresses has been reported.
Improving the tolerability of the cassava plant to multiple stresses has therefore, become a major objective of cassava breeders, especially in subtropical regions [ 4],[ 5].
In addition, previous screening or selection studies for tolerant S. cerevisiae yeasts have been targeted mainly at individual stresses, such as high temperature [ 19], or resistance to weak acids or furans and to phenolics [ 15, 17], whereas finding and identifying yeasts with tolerance to multiple stresses has apparently received little attention.
Barua et al. (2008) further found that variation in induced tolerance and Hsps was related to temperature variability, in that populations that are more likely to experience multiple heat stresses had higher tolerance and Hsp accumulation.
The crosstalk between multiple pathways in response to different stresses has been shown in many studies on vegetative development [ 41].
Manipulating proteins that regulate gene expression or the signal transduction of multiple metabolic pathways involved in abiotic stresses has proven to be useful for improving the stress tolerance of crops (Table 1).
Under DoubleX rules, women will neither have to create an entertaining contrast with the men nor need to prove themselves as gender neutrals -- multiple stresses that have often distorted what might be a distinctly female voice.
This combination of multiple stresses can have a great adverse impact on plants (Zhang et al. 2010); high temperature strongly affects water retentions when water is limiting (Machado and Paulsen 2001).
Although only a slight difference was observed, the increased VEGF secretion invoked by combined stress compared to tension alone/thermal alone suggests that exposing cells to multiple stresses may have an enhanced effect over individual stress.
However, because mitochondria can also contribute to cell death in response to multiple stresses, cardiac myocytes have developed special strategies to achieve strict control over the intrinsic apoptotic pathway.
