Bread Wheat Landraces Adaptability to Low-Input Agriculture
Plants, 2023 Bread wheat landraces were an important source of biodiversity used in agriculture before the widespread adoption of high-yielding commercial cultivars adapted to high inputs. Could future agriculture exploit these landraces in different cropping systems

High outcrossing rates in fields with mixed sorghum landraces: how are landraces maintained? [PDF]
Heredity, 2008 The effect of mating system on genetic diversity is a major theme in plant evolutionary genetics, because gene flow plays a large role in structuring the genetic variability within and among populations. Understanding crop mating systems and their consequences for gene flow can aid in managing agricultural systems and conserving genetic resources.

Randomized preclinical study of machine perfusion in vascularized composite allografts
BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020 This study was designed to identify the optimum machine perfusion parameters for preservation of limbs before transplantation, and determine whether this was better than cold storage. Normothermic machine perfusion at a pressure of 70 mmHg (NMP‐70) provided superior preservation to cold storage after transplantation.
