Knox genes are the main genes involved in the regulation of development in compound leaves.
Whereas abiotic stress is the nonorganic type of stress.
This presentation ill help to get a brief idea about both the topics in a compressed form.
Biological stress is not easily defined but it implies adverse effects on an organism. Like all other living organisms, the plants are subjected to various environmental stresses such as water deficit and drought, cold, heat, salinity and air pollution etc.
The concept of stress is associated with stress tolerance. Degree of tolerance differs with different plant species.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Cold stress: Plant Responses and Adaptation

2. CHILLING STRESS
Plants may develop physiological disorders when exposed to low
but non-freezing temperatures.
The German plant physiologist Molisch suggested the term
‘chilling injury’ as long ago as 1897 to describe this phenomenon
The international "star of plant physiology" Hans MOLISCH.
He studied at the university of Vienna. In 1894, he
became professor in Prague and in 1909, in Vienna,
he began research into "frost-resistance" at the cellular
level.
As a microbiologist, he was working with purple and luminescent
bacteria, and has been innovative in photosynthesis research and
chemotaxonomy.
3. How do plants perceive cold?
• As a result of exposure to low temperatures, many physiological and biochemical
cell functions have been correlated with visible symptoms (wilting, chlorosis, or
necrosis) (Ruelland and Zachowski 2010).
• Often, these adverse effects are accompanied by changes in cell membrane
structure and lipid composition (Uemura and Steponkus 1999; Matteucci et al.
2011)
• Cellular leakage of electrolytes and amino acids, a diversion of electron flow to
alternate pathways (Seo et al. 2010), alterations in protoplasmic streaming and
redistribution of intracellular calcium ions (Knight et al. 1998)
• They also involve changes in protein content and enzyme activities (Ruelland and
Zachowski 2010) as well as ultrastructural changes in a wide range of cell
components, including plastids, thylakoid membranes and the phosphorylation of
thylakoid proteins, and mitochondria (Zhang et al. 2011).
. However, prolonged exposure to stress causes plant necrosis or death.
4. Symptoms of Chilling
• Cellular changes : Changes in membrane structure and composition, decreased
protoplasmic streaming, electrolyte leakage and plasmolysis.
• Altered metabolism : Increased or reduced respiration, depending on severity of
stress, production of abnormal metabolites due to anaerobic condition.
• Common Symptoms
– Reduced plant growth and death
– Surface lesions on leaves and fruits
– Abnormal curling, lobbing and crinkling of leaves
– Water soaking of tissues
– Cracking, splitting and dieback of stems
– Internal discolouration (vascular browning)
– Increased susceptibility to decay
– Failure to ripen normally
– Loss of vigour (potato lose the ability to sprout if chilled)
5. A model to explain symptoms of chilling injury in chilling-sensitive plants. Membranes are the primary site of
cold-induced injury, leading to a cascade of cellular processes with adverse effects on the plant. When exposure
to low temperature is brief, the effects may be transitory and plants survive. However, the plant will exhibit
necrosis or die if exposure is maintained (Lyons 1973; Raison and Lyons 1986)
6.
7. Affects on plants
• Cellular Membranes
• The first symptom of chilling injury is the phase transition from liquid crytalline
phase to solid gel state
• Increase in permeability of plasmalemma results in leakage of organic and
inorganic substances
8. Affects on plants
Cellular Membranes(contd..)
• Plasmolysis: Plasmolemma- pressed against the
tonoplast and deleted into the vacuole as sac like
intrusions
• Formation of crystalline deposits in root cells,
epidermal, mesophyll and vascular cells of leaves
-leading to tonoplast disruption.
• Tonoplast injury is irreversible
• During hardening at low or above zero temp the
lipid bodies accumulate in cytoplasm in close
association with plasmalemma.
Lipid composition
– Ratio of Unsaturated to saturated fatty acids is
higher in chilling resistant plants
– Increase in activity of fatty acid de-saturases was
found in chilling resistant plants
9. Cytological Changes
• Swelling of plastid membranes and mitochondrial membranes
• Swelling of chloroplast thylakoids
• Decrease in size and no. of starch grains
• Grana disintegration and increase in size and no.of plastoglobules
• Mitochondria with reduced cristae and transparent matrix
• Mitochondria – double the volume
• Extensive dilation and vesiculation of smooth ER cisternae

11. Freezing stress
When plants are exposed to a low temperature below 00
c. Freezing damage occurs
primarily due to the formation of ice crystals, which damage cell structure when the
temperature falls below 00
C.
12.
13. Freezing stress
Freezing injury in plants can be from two sources:
1.Freezing of soil water
The soil water that is available to plants is found in
the porous regions between soil particles. It freezes at
about -2°C, depriving the plant of its source of water.
2. Freezing of the fluids within the plant.
Freezing of water within the plant can cause
disruption of structure and function of cells and tissues.
Ice usually forms first in the cell walls and intercellular
spaces. Damage occurs when ice crystals grow and
puncture into the cytoplasm.
14. Symptoms of Freezing injury
• Desiccation or burning of foliage
• Water-soaked areas that progress to necrotic spots on
leaves, stems or fruit and death of sections of the plant
or the entire plant.
• Close examination of woody plants several days or weeks
after freezing may reveal a dead or weakened root
system or split bark on stems or branches.
• Obvious symptoms on plant foliage may not be present
until after the plant has been stressed by warm
temperatures.
• Wilting and/or desiccation, as caused by direct drought
stress.
15. Formation of ice intracellularly may be due to
•By internal nucleation (certain large polysaccharides /proteins
serve as nucleating agents to form ice)
•By penetration of external ice crystals into the cells
•Intracellular ice formation is very lethal which causes
immediate disruption of cells.
•It spreads from cell to cell through plasmodesmata
•Formed in the cell wall adjacent to the intercellular spaces
•Originates spontaneously from centers of nucleation in the
cytoplasm.
16. Signal
transduction
Fundamental responses of plants
during cold stress exposure. Cold stress
exposure causes various
physiochemical disturbances, leading to
growth inhibition. Cold stress response
is perceived by plants through a signal
transduction that leads to the
activation of transcription factors and
cold-responsive genes. Such
transcription factors and genes control
the damage due to cold stress and help
in providing tolerance to plants.
17. Chilling tolerance
• The acquisition of chilling tolerance is associated with huge changes in metabolite
contents, such as the accumulation of soluble sugars, dehydrins, RNA-chaperones,
and an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification activities.
• These changes in cellular components are due to a transcriptome rearrangement.
They mean that chilling has been perceived and transduced to the nucleus.
• Chilling is not perceived by a single mechanism in plants but at different sensory
levels, that are the very biological processes disturbed by the temperature
downshift. Once perceived, chilling stress is transduced.
• An increase in cytosolic calcium is the major transducing event that will then
regulate the activity of many signalling components, including phospholipases and
protein kinases. This will end in changes in gene expression.
• The best-documented pathway leading to gene induction in response to cold is the
CBF (C-repeat binding factor) pathway.
18. A Transcription Factor Regulates
cold-Induced gene Expression
Involvement of various transcription
factors in the induction of cold-responsive
genes during cold stress. Many cold
stress–induced genes are activated by
transcriptional activators called C-repeat
binding Factors.
19. Accumulation of antifreeze proteins
(AFPs) in cold-acclimated
plants with antifungal activity
(adapted from Yeh et al. 2000;
Huang and Duman 2002; Griffith
and Yaish 2004; Yaish et al. 2006).
By accumulating PR proteins during
cold acclimation, overwintering
plants may acquire a systemic, non-
specific, pre-emptive defence
against pathogens and exhibit
greater disease resistance
20. SURVIVAL STRATEGIES
Anti freeze proteins (AFP)
- Declines rate of ice crystal growth
- Lowers the efficiency of ice nucleation sites
- Lowers temp. at which ice forms
Osmoprotectants
- Osmolytes- quarternary amines, amino acids, sugar alcohols
- Balances the osmotic potential of externally increased osmotic
pressure
ABA
- Plants develop freezing resistance when treated with
exogenous ABA
21. Ca2? and reactive oxygen species (ROS) responses to chilling in sensitive plants. ROS are not simply toxic by-products of
metabolism; they also act as signalling molecules by modulating the expression of various genes, including those encoding
antioxidant enzymes and modulators of H2O2 production. Changes to the plasma membrane can cause actin cytoskeletal
rearrangements that may be followed by the activation of Ca2? channels and increased cytosolic Ca2? concentrations, triggering a
series of reactions such as the expression of cold-regulated genes
22. COR/LEA and Dehydrins
• The accumulation of hydrophilic proteins predicted to form an amphipathic a-helix
is one of the best documented responses of plants to cold treatment (Eriksson et al.
2011).
Most of these proteins have therefore been named COR (cold responsive), LTI (low
temperature induced), RAB (responsive to abscisic acid), KIN (cold induced) or
ERD (early responsive to dehydration). These proteins include the dehydrins, which
belong to group II of the late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins (Bies-Etheve
et al. 2008).
• The accumulation of one particular dehydrin (WCO R410) is correlated with the
capacity to develop freezing tolerance in wheat. However, the overexpression of
single dehydrins does not necessarily lead to enhanced freezing tolerance.
• For instance, the overexpression of RAB18, a cold-induced dehydrin, has no effect
on freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis (Lang and Palva 1992).
23.
24. ICE1 and CBFs. The CBF genes play important roles in cold acclimation and are regulated by multiple
pathways. They activate the transcription of CBFs and repress MYB15. ICE1, a constitutively expressed
gene, is activated by cold stress via sumoylation and phosphorylation.
HOS1 is a RING-type ubiquitin E3 ligase that negatively regulates cold-induced DREB1/CBF expression.
The constitutive HOS9 and HOS10 regulons have a role in the negative regulation of CBF-target genes.
CBFs regulate the expression of COR genes that confer freezing tolerance.
The expression of CBFs is negatively regulated by MYB15 and ZAT12. HOS1 mediates the ubiquitination
and proteosomal degradation of ICE1 and, thus, negatively regulates CBF regulons. Transcription of
CBFs might be cross-regulated.
Transcription factor binding sites are represented at the bottom of the diagram, with the representative
promoters listed below. Yellow arrows indicate post-translational regulation; solid arrows indicate
activation, whereas broken lines show negative regulation; small circles indicate post-transcriptional
modification, such as phosphorylation; question marks indicates unknown ciselements.
