Determining the scale at which variation in a single gene changes population yields
eLife, 2020 Plant trait diversity is known to influence population yield, but the scale at which this happens remains unknown: divergent individuals might change yields of immediate neighbors (neighbor scale) or of plants across a population (population scale).

Phosphorylation via PKC regulates the function of the Drosophila odorant coreceptor
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2011 Insect odorant receptors (ORs) have a unique design of heterodimers formed by an olfactory receptor protein and the ion channel Orco. Heterologously expressed insect ORs are activated via an ionotropic and a metabotropic pathway that leads to cAMP ...
