Conservation challenges and opportunities for native apple (Malus) species in Canada

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Apple, one of the world's most widely cultivated and economically important fruit crops, has two wild relatives native to Canada. In this review, we describe the importance of these native apple species to Indigenous heritage and the current threats the species faces due to pests, diseases, and habitat loss.

Preliminary genetic barcodes for ash (Fraxinus) species and generation of new wide hybrids

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement The world‐wide diversity of ash trees includes genetic information encoding resistance to the ash dieback fungus and the emerald ash borer beetle, which are currently devastating ash populations in Europe and North America. In order to mobilise this genetic diversity in conventional breeding programmes, we need to be able to ...

Insights into ALS‐inhibiting herbicide resistance in Poa annua in an arable cropping system

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Variable cross‐resistance to ALS inhibitors in five Poa annua populations from wheat fields in Ireland caused by different TSR mutations. Abstract BACKGROUND Dependence on a single herbicide type to control a broad‐spectrum of weeds has resulted in cases of resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors in weeds normally considered lower priority

Transcriptional profiles underlying parent-of-origin effects in seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana

BMC Plant Biology, 2010
Background Crossing plants of the same species but different ploidies can have dramatic effects on seed growth, but little is known about the alterations to transcriptional programmes responsible for this.

Molecular phylogeny, genome sizes and chromosome numbers in melic grasses and its relatives (Pooideae, Poaceae) with a revised classification of the genus Melica

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Melica comprises around 90 species, which are widespread throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the world. In contrast to numerous species complexes in the grass subfamily Pooideae, the genus Melica forms a very homogeneous group of mainly diploid species with a uniform basic chromosome number of x = 9.

In Vivo Fast Induction of Homogeneous Autopolyploids via Callus in Sour Jujube (Ziziphus acidojujuba Cheng et Liu)

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2016
Polyploidization has been demonstrated as a very effective approach in fruit tree improvement. Sour jujube (Ziziphus acidojujuba Cheng et Liu) is a promising diploid wild, traditional fruit species (2n = 2x = 24) that is rich in vitamin C, which is the ...

Multiple pregnancy with complete hydatidiform mole and coexisting normal fetus: systematic review and meta‐analysis of clinical outcomes from non‐randomized studies

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Complete hydatidiform mole and coexisting normal fetus (CHMCF) is a rare condition for which there is significant heterogeneity in diagnosis, counseling and management of complications. The objective of this study was to summarize the prevalence of clinical outcomes in reported cases of CHMCF.

Interventional oncology in children: Where are we now?

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Abstract Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in ...

A Rare Hematopoietic Stem Cell‐Derived Megakaryocyte Progenitor Accumulates via Enhanced Survival and Contributes to Exacerbated Thrombopoiesis Upon Aging

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
Manso et al. developed strategies for isolating and testing the functional mechanisms regulating age‐specific megakaryocyte progenitors derived from hematopoietic stem cells. ABSTRACT Distinct routes of cellular production from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have defined our current view of hematopoiesis.
