Optimal neuromuscular performance requires motor neuron phosphagen kinases
Abstract figure legend Motor neuron (MN) terminals in fruit flies, mice and humans contain phosphagen kinases, a key enzyme in their energy storage and buffering system. Here we knocked down the primary phosphagen kinase in fruit fly larvae (arginine kinase 1 (ArgK1)) but were surprised to find that MN endurance was unaffected.

Enhancing outcrossing potential in hybrid rice
This article 'Enhancing outcrossing potential in hybrid rice' appeared in the International Rice Research Notes series, created by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) to expedite communication among scientists concerned with the development of improved technology for rice and rice-based systems. The series is a mechanism to help scientists

Abstract Grain characteristics are the cumulative product of growth and development throughout the growing season. In barley (Hordeum vulgare), these traits determine the grain's value for malting purposes. The ability to accurately predict the genetic merit for malting quality is of great interest for barley breeding programs. Same‐season selection on

Red Queen Coevolution on Fitness Landscapes
Species do not merely evolve, they also coevolve with other organisms. Coevolution is a major force driving interacting species to continuously evolve ex- ploring their fitness landscapes. Coevolution involves the coupling of species fit- ness landscapes,

Recent field work in Niue has recognized the terrestrial orchids Calanthe amboinensis (Blume) M.W.Chase, Christenh. & Schuit. and Liparis barbata Lindl. and the epiphytic Aeridostachya robusta (Blume) Brieger as new indigenous records. Liparis L.C.Rich. and Aeridostachya (Hook.f.) Brieger are new genera for the flora of Niue, while Calanthe R.Br.

Predicted genetic consequences of asexuality include high intraindividual genetic diversity (i.e., the Meselson effect) and accumulation of deleterious mutations (i.e., Muller’s Ratchet), among others.

Skim‐sequencing for genomic selection in wheat: a comparison of marker platforms
Abstract The promise of genomics‐assisted breeding relies on efficient, affordable, and abundant molecular markers. Leveraging modern sequencing technology, commercial laboratory products, and open‐source software, we demonstrate how ultra‐low whole‐genome sequencing coverage (skim‐seq, 0.05–0.10x) can be a viable marker platform. The direct generation
