SEASONAL PEAKS. "In October, the highest DHN content was found in chloroplasts and mitochondria; in April, in chloroplasts and cell walls. Chloroplasts and mitochondria contain the largest amount of membrane structures, and a lot of DHN may be accumulated there during unfavorable spring and autumn periods to protect internal membranes of chloroplasts and mitochondria."

PROTECTIVE BOOST. Dehydrin "content in pine needles increases in spring and autumn when moisture availability and temperatures are most unfavorable." https://lnkd.in/etsa67h View in LinkedIn

SUPER-STABILIZERS. "Stabilization of membranes, and protection of proteins from damage caused by moisture loss, is considered to be the key function of DHNs. DHNs also possess a cryoprotective activity and the capability to scavenge metal ions and reactive-oxygen species (ROS)." (DHNs = Dehydrins). https://lnkd.in/etsa67h View in LinkedIn

BIG SWITCH. "Within the last decade, increasing knowledge about the abundance of non-coding RNAs that play important roles in genetic- and epigenetic-regulation processes, has placed the dominant interest in the genetic storage medium DNA. Now RNA is in the driver's seat." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

DEHYDRINS. "DHNs are class II LEA-proteins (late-embryogenesis-abundant proteins) and appear in plants or seeds at a later stage of maturation along with a decrease in intracellular water content in response to cooling or osmotic stress." (DHNs = Dehydrins). https://lnkd.in/etsa67h View in LinkedIn

BACTERIAL MEMORY. "At the current stage of research on RNA-mediated epigenetic processes, we know that, even in prokaryotes, epigenetic imprinting exists, and that bacterial populations can memorize and learn to adapt faster and tailor their behavior to special situations/environmental circumstances." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

ANTIOXIDANTS LINKED TO TEMPERATURE. "The overall accumulation and magnitude of change in antioxidant components in eastern white pine foliage appear to correlate with the annual temperature patterns during the 3 year period the trees were evaluated." https://lnkd.in/eqkRiKP View in LinkedIn

THE IMPLICATION OF EPIGENETICS. "Epigenetic marking signifies a crucial ability of living agents: memory and learning." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

PROGRAMMED SENESCENCE. "The observed reductions in the levels of methionine-related metabolites in the older needles also suggest a role in photosynthesis or responses to oxidative stress consistent with reported reductions in photosynthetic rates in older needles of P. pinaster." https://lnkd.in/evt9GfD View in LinkedIn

NON-MENDELIAN INHERITANCE. "We know that plants can reactivate the genetic features of their grand- or great-grandparents if the genetic content they inherited from their parents does not have the appropriate competence to resist environmental circumstances." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn
