Crop biotechnology: prospects and opportunities [PDF]
SUMMARYThis paper is a brief review summarizing some of the important areas of activity in crop biotechnology likely to be exploited over the medium term (10–20 years), with an emphasis on agronomic traits.

Leaf transcriptome differences between diploid and tetraploid bahiagrass
Abstract Polyploid individuals of the subtropical forage grass Paspalum notatum Flüggé (bahiagrass) exhibit distinct phenotypes, including apomixis, enhanced vigor, gigas effects, and increased stress tolerance. While apomixis‐based breeding programs supported by molecular tools have improved agronomic traits such as growth habit, forage dry matter ...

Catch of Reesa vespulae in Heritage Environments
The skin beetle Reesa vespulae is regularly found beyond North America where it originated. The larvae cause considerable concern in museums, as they damage hides or furs in addition to being a special source of damage to collections of dried plants in ...

PARTHENOGENESIS IN DROSOPHILA [PDF]
Most of the work to be reported in this paper was done with strains of Drosophila purthenogenetica STALKER originally derived from a single strain established by the University of Texas workers from a collection made in Atlixco, Mexico (PATTERSON and MAINLAND 1944) and generously supplied by the Texas laboratory.

Androlaelaps fahrenhoizi, a potential vector of zoonotic diseases, is widely distributed in southwest China, predominantly infesting A. agrarius mice. The mite infestation is aggregated, and has environmental heterogeneity and age bias of hosts. Abundant A.

The endosymbiont Wolbachia promotes homogenisation and delays the microbial community response of the parasitic wasp Asobara japonica after a significant environmental change. This suggests that key microbial taxa can mediate community shifts and has important implications for experimental design in microbial ecology, particularly in translating lab ...

Establishment of Efficient Microinjection System in the Porcine Embryos
Transcription activator like effector nucleases (TALENs) are artificial restriction enzymes generated by fusing a TALE DNA binding domain to a DNA cleavage domain which remove and introduce specific genes to produce transgenic animals. To investigate the

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.
