Identification of maternal-effect genes in zebrafish using maternal crispants. [PDF]
Development, 2021 ABSTRACT In animals, early development is dependent on a pool of maternal factors, both RNA and proteins, which are required for basic cellular processes and cell differentiation until zygotic genome activation. The role of the majority of these maternally expressed factors is not fully understood.

Evolution of maternal effect senescence. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016 SignificanceEvolutionary theory underpins our understanding of the aging process. The many aspects of reproduction that decline with maternal age in animals include number of offspring born, offspring size, and neonatal survival. Current theories of aging ignore potential differences in the evolutionary pressures on these traits.

Roles of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific competition between two floating plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Parental effects can influence offspring fitness, which may further impact interspecific competition. However, few studies have tested the role of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific interactions and examined the underlying mechanisms. We

Life, 2023 Recent research revealed that dietary genistein supplementation for breeder hens can improve the immune function of offspring chicks. However, it remains unknown whether this maternal effect could improve the intestinal health of offspring.

Problems in estimating maternal effects [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 1980 Abstract The basic problems inherent in the estimation of maternal effects are considered. A maternal effect is defined as an effect contributed to the phenotypic value of an offspring by his dam. The two most important problems are the confounding of the maternal effect of the dam and her genetic contribution to the genotypic value of her offspring ...

Animals, 2020 Prickly pear cactus peels (Opuntia ficus-indica, PPCP) are sustainable byproducts available in arid regions and a rich source of antioxidants. Fifteen multiparous Barki ewes (2–3 years old, 46.94 ± 0.59 kg body weight, BW) at postpartum were individually

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 One of the key aims of global change studies is to predict more accurately how plant community composition responds to future environmental changes. Although interspecific relationship is one of the most important forces structuring plant communities, it

Dietary habits and children's family lives [PDF]
, 2005 Purpose : To investigate associations between 'less healthy eating' and 'unhealthy snacking' at age 11, and family life (family structure, meals and maternal employment status) together with potential socio-economic confounders and gender.
