Litter Quality of Populus Species as Affected by Free-Air CO2 Enrichment and N-Fertilization [PDF]

, 2009
The effect of elevated CO2 and nitrogen fertilization on the molecular chemistry of litter of three Populus species and associated soil organic matter (SOM) was investigated by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

WFS1 Deficiency Impairs PIAS4‐Associated SUMOylation and Increases Ubiquitin‐Mediated Spermatogenesis‐Related Protein Degradation Leading to Testicular Male Infertility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The findings establish a critical role for WFS1 in human male fertility. Mechanistically, WFS1 interacts with PIAS4 to promote the SUMOylation of key spermatogenesis‐associated proteins, which in turn competitively inhibits their K48‐linked ubiquitin‐mediated degradation during spermatogenesis.

Post-fire litter microsites: Safe for seeds, unsafe for seedlings [PDF]

, 1993
We explore the effect of post—fire microsites on seed and seedling distribution and hence their potential role in community restoration. A summer wildfire and control burn in a sclerophyll shrubland in mediterranean Australia produced mosaics of ...

Structural Control of Stromal‐Immune Coupling by COL24A1 Underlies Pregnancy Maintenance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
COL24A1 emerges as a collagen‐associated regulator of maternal‐fetal interface homeostasis. Its deficiency promotes a maladaptive TIMP1‐high stromal state, impaired ECM turnover, collagen accumulation, and stromal–immune dysregulation, contributing to pregnancy loss.

Correlated Response to Selection for Litter Size Residual Variability in Rabbits’ Body Condition

Animals, 2020
A divergent selection experiment for residual variance of litter size at birth was carried out in rabbits during twelve generations. Residual variance of litter size was estimated as the within-doe variance of litter size after pre-correction for year ...

Analysis of reproductive performances during the formation of a synthetic rabbit strain [PDF]

, 2005
[EN] In 1995, a synthetic rabbit strain ('2666') was formed at INRA for commercial meat purposesby crossing the INRA '2066' strain and the 'V' strain from the Polytechnical University of Valencia (Spain).The development of some reproductive traits and ...

ELF5‐Mediated Enhancer–Promoter Interaction Regulates LALBA Expression in Ovine Mammary Gland

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the study, we systematically investigate the epigenetic mechanisms underlying lactation traits in sheep by integrating transcriptomic, chromatin accessibility, histone modification, and functional analyses. We identify a super‐enhancer at the LALBA locus and demonstrate that enhancer E4 functions as its core regulatory element.

The impact of parity, litter size and birth weight variations within a litter on piglet pre-weaning performance

Sows are selected for their prolificacy. Therefore, assessing difficulties that can be associated with large litters is crucial. This review aims to highlight the factors that can affect reproductive performance such as breed, parity, litter size ...

Maternal Hyperglycemia Disrupts Cerebral Cortex Development Through the Foxp1‐Dll1‐Notch Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Maternal hyperglycemia disrupts offspring cortical development through a Foxp1–Dll1–Notch signaling axis. In a PGDM mouse model, intrauterine hyperglycemia decreases cortical thickness and perturbs neuronal layering by downregulating Foxp1, which transcriptionally regulates the Notch ligand Dll1.
