Genetic characterization and mapping of the major powdery mildew resistance gene Plbj from Malus baccata jackii

, 2009
Powdery mildew, caused by the obligate biotrophic ascomycete fungus Podosphaera leucotricha, is one of the main fungal diseases in commercial apple production. Only a few major resistance sources are currently used in apple breeding programmes to include

Herbarium‐based measurements are reliable predictors of fresh plant traits in Neotropical Myrtaceae

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Herbarium specimens are increasingly used to extract morphological traits for ecological and evolutionary studies, yet the effects of tissue desiccation on trait measurements remain poorly understood. Here, we tested two hypotheses: (H1) whether higher tissue water content leads to greater measurement changes after herborization and ...

A project to identify and map scab and powdery mildew resistance genes in apple

Apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) and powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha) are the two most important fungal pathogens in apple orchards. To control these pathogens, a lot of plant protection treatments are applied per season in commercial fruit ...

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

Exploration of new sources of sweet cherry genetic diversity prospected in Azerbaijan, Caucasus, supposed center of origin of Prunus avium L.

Sweet cherry breeding is an active field of research with an increasing number of private and public actors involved. Nevertheless, the genetic basis of the majority of parental materials used is rather narrow.

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

First reports on the relationship between the eggshell and bone mineralization in Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia embryos

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Composed of various minerals, the eggshell provides ideal conditions for embryonic development, and understanding its composition and structure is essential for clarifying its relationship with bone formation. This study characterized the structure and mineral profile of the Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia eggshell in relation to ...

Ursolic Acid Alleviates Orchitis via Modulating Ferroptosis in Peritubular Myoid Cells of Testis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Ursolic acid modulates key ferroptosis‐related pathways in the peritubular myoid cells of the testis in forest musk deer. ABSTRACT Chronic stress adversely affects reproductive health, increasing susceptibility to pathologies such as orchitis. Additionally, the maintenance of iron homeostasis is essential for preserving the function of the testicles ...
