Identification and functional characterization of the first molluscan neuromedin U receptor in the slug, Deroceras reticulatum

Scientific Reports, 2020
Neuromedin U (NmU) is a neuropeptide regulating diverse physiological processes. The insect homologs of vertebrate NmU are categorized as PRXamide family peptides due to their conserved C-terminal end. However, NmU homologs have been elusive in Mollusca,

The effects of day and night temperature on Chrysanthemum morifolium: investigating the safe limits for temperature integration [PDF]

, 2009
The impact of day and night temperatures on pot chrysanthemum (cultivars ‘Covington’ and ‘Irvine’) was assessed by exposing cuttings, stuck in weeks 39, 44, and 49, to different temperature regimes in short-days. Glasshouse heating setpoints of 12°, 15°,
