The practices of yam domestication in Benin and Nigeria [PDF]
, 2008 Guinea yams (Dioscorea cayenensis Lam. D. rotundata Poir) have been described several times as resulting from a process of domestication of wild yams of the Enantiophyllum section, initially by Burkill (1939) and by Miege (1952) and later, on a more ...

Domestication and divergence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae beer yeasts [PDF]
, 2016 Whereas domestication of livestock, pets, and crops is well documented, it is still unclear to what extent microbes associated with the production of food have also undergone human selection and where the plethora of industrial strains originates from ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Rod‐shaped particles outperform spherical particles of the same volume in preventing neutrophil infiltration to inflamed areas, both in vitro and in vivo. This therapeutic effectiveness is attributed to better cell targeting and decreased cell motility, resulting from the geometry‐driven phagocytosis and inhibited actin polymerization.

A Vavilovian approach to discovering crop-associated microbes with potential to enhance plant immunity [PDF]
, 2014 Through active associations with a diverse community of largely non-pathogenic microbes, a plant may be thought of as possessing an “extended genotype,” an interactive cross-organismal genome with potential, exploitable implications for plant immunity ...

Manipulating the Assembly and Architecture of Fibrillar Silk
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.In this study, advanced in situ AFM, PiFM, and Cryo‐EM are leveraged to realize in situ observations of nucleation, growth, and degradation of silk nanofibrils. A clear picture of the assembly and structural evolution of regenerated silk nanofibrils is defined and demonstrates a novel strategy for manipulating their structure and properties, which ...

Flexible Selenium Nanowires with Tuneable Electronic Bandgaps
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Nanotubes serve as effective test tubes for selenium nanowires, as their diameter precisely controls the width of the nanowires and the Se─Se bonding, resulting in a variety of different structures. An electron beam can be used to modify the nanotubes, allowing real‐time observation of the nanowire extrusion process. Additionally, optically transparent

Dogs understand the role of a human partner in a cooperative task
Scientific ReportsHumans are exceptionally flexible in cooperation, partly due to our ability to recognize the roles of cooperative partners. While some non-human animals understand the need for a partner in such interactions, it is unclear whether they grasp the ...

Diversity, genetic mapping, and signatures of domestication in the carrot (Daucus carota L.) genome, as revealed by Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers [PDF]
, 2013 Carrot is one of the most economically important vegetables worldwide, but genetic and genomic resources supporting carrot breeding remain limited. We developed a Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) platform for wild and cultivated carrot and used it to ...
