However, the thought 0066-4219/08/0218-0177$20.00 that humans can undergo a severe hypometabolic state analogous to hibernation borders on science fiction. Some mammals can enter a severe hypothermic state during hibernation in which metabolic activity is extremely low, and yet full viability is restored when the animal arouses from such a state. To date, the underlying mecha- nism for hibernation or similar behaviors remains an enigma. The beneficial effect of hypothermia, which reduces cellular metabolic demands, has many well-established clinical applications. However, severe hypothermia induced by clinical drugs is extremely difficult and is associated with dramatically increased rates of cardiac arrest for nonhibernators. The recent discovery of a biomolecule, 5-AMP, which allows nonhibernating mammals to rapidly and safely enter severe hypothermia could remove this impediment and enable the wide adoption of hypothermia as a routine clinical tool. 177 ANRV334-ME59-12 ARI 16 December 2007 14:50 INTRODUCTION ing mammals.

  • Modelling the Timing of Betula Pubescens Budburst. I. Temperature and Photoperiod: a Conceptual Model
    Vol. 46: 147–157, 2011 CLIMATE RESEARCH Published online March 8 doi: 10.3354/cr00980 Clim Res Modelling the timing of Betula pubescens budburst. I. Temperature and photoperiod: a conceptual model Amelia Caffarra1,*, Alison Donnelly2, Isabelle Chuine3, Mike B. Jones2 1Research and Innovation Centre, Agriculture Area, Fondazione Edmund Mach, San Michele all’Adige, 38100 Trento, Italy 2Department of Botany, School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland 3CEFE-CNRS, 1919 route de Mende, 34293 Montpellier, France ABSTRACT: The main factors triggering and releasing bud dormancy are photoperiod and tempera- ture. Their individual and combined effects are complex and change along a transition from a dor- mant to a non-dormant state. Despite the number of studies reporting the effects of temperature and photoperiod on dormancy release and budburst, information on the parameters defining these rela- tionships is scarce. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects and interaction of tem- perature and photoperiod on the rates of dormancy induction and release in Betula pubescens (Ehrh.) in order to develop a conceptual model of budburst for this species. We performed a series of con- trolled environment experiments in which temperature and photoperiod were varied during different phases of dormancy in B. pubescens clones. Endodormancy was induced by short days and low tem- peratures, and released by exposure to a minimal period of chilling temperatures. Photoperiod dur- ing exposure to chilling temperatures did not affect budburst. Longer exposure to chilling increased growth capability (growth rate at a given forcing temperature) and decreased the time to budburst. During the forcing phase, budburst was promoted by photoperiods above a critical threshold, which was not constant, but decreased upon longer chilling exposures.

A statistical method using a partial least square regression for daily temperatures has been applied to study the chilling and heat requirements over a continuous period. Background and Objectives: The olive is one of the main causes of pollen allergy for the population of Mediterranean cities. The physiological processes of the reproductive cycle that governs pollen emission are associated with temperature, and thermal requirements strongly regulate the different phases of the plant’s life cycle.
