Birth outcome in relation to licorice consumption during pregnancy.

, 2001
A role for glucocorticoids is suspected in the etiology of low birth weight. The authors tested whether maternal consumption of glycyrrhizin (an inhibitor of cortisol metabolism) in licorice affects birth weight in humans. A sample of 1,049 Finnish women

SETDB1 enables development beyond cleavage stages by extinguishing the MERVL-driven two-cell totipotency transcriptional program in the mouse embryo

eLife
Loss of maternal SETDB1, a histone H3K9 methyltransferase, leads to developmental arrest prior to implantation, with very few mouse embryos advancing beyond the eight-cell stage, which is currently unexplained. We genetically investigate SETDB1’s role in

Simulated catch and release angling of Atlantic salmon before spawning alters activity, exploratory behaviour and aggression of offspring

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Recreational catch and release (C&R) is increasingly adopted as a conservation measure during the spawning migration of wild salmon, yet its impacts on their reproduction are little known.

Agrestal Environments and Maternal Genetic Effects Weaken the Ecological Barriers for Crop to Wild Introgression in Sunflower

Ecology and Evolution
Admixture between crops and their wild relatives may lead to the evolution of aggressive weeds in agricultural and natural habitat. As many crops and their wild relatives belong to the same species, admixture is common, and the low fitness of crop‐wild ...
