The Domesticated Gene

open access: yesThe American Biology Teacher, 2011
Enough of the “selfish gene,” already. It was a clever mental game, once, to imagine that genes are the ultimate units of evolution. That organisms are no more than a gene’s way of making more genes. The concept fundamentally confuses levels in biology. It implies that genes can have intent and moral perspective.

Analysis of grain nutrient accumulation and filling characteristics across quinoa varieties with different inflorescence types on the Qinghai plateau

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the changes in total sugar, starch, crude protein, and crude fat content in three quinoa cultivars—Tianma HX, Qingli NO.12, and Qingli NO.9—across various inflorescence types and ripening stages during the filling phase.

Sustainability of organic zucchini in Mediterranean environment: an on‐farm experimentation

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Excess inputs are commonly applied to high‐value crops to ensure high performance. This study hypothesizes that farmers can reduce inputs without compromising yields and aims to investigate the effects of varying irrigation and fertilization strategies on two zucchini genotypes (‘Logos’ and ‘Atlantis’) organically grown under ...

Evaluating the theranostic potential of ferumoxytol when combined with radiotherapy in a mammary dual tumor mouse model

open access: yesMedical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The radiation‐induced abscopal effect (RIAE) is a desirable phenomenon involving radiation‐induced activation of the immune system and regression of metastatic disease after local radiotherapy. However, the majority of patients undergoing radiotherapy do not experience abscopal responses.

Population genomic analyses reveal extensive genomic regions within selective sweeps associated with adaptation and demographic history of a wheat fungal pathogen

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Applying population genomics, this study revealed that Pst exhibits slower linkage disequilibrium decay compared to rust fungi with known sexual reproduction, identified extensive hard and soft sweeps linked to Pst adaptation, and demonstrated that crop domestication and breeding programs have significantly influenced pathogen population sizes ...
