From QTL to candidate gene: a genetic approach to alcoholism research [PDF]

, 2009
A major focus of research in alcohol-related disorders is to identify the genes and pathways that modulate alcohol-seeking behavior. In light of this, animal models have been established to study various aspects of alcohol dependence.

OsSAE1 orchestrates the antagonistical regulation of gibberellin and abscisic acid signaling to control rice seed germination

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The AP2 transcription factor SALT AND ABA RESPONSE ERF 1 (OsSAE1) acts as a key regulator in improving rice seed germination rate. OsSAE1 precisely controls the homeostasis of abscisic acid and gibberellin in seeds, and provides a target for breeding rice varieties that are suitable for direct seeding.

Morris Water Maze Learning in Two Rat Strains Increases the Expression of the Polysialylated Form of the Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule in the Dentate Gyrus But Has No Effect on Hippocampal Neurogenesis [PDF]

, 2005
In the current study, the authors investigated whether Morris water maze learning induces alterations in hippocampal neurogenesis or neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) polysialylation in the dentate gyrus.

ClAPRT3‐Mediated Adenine Salvage Pathway Enhances Purine Metabolites to Sustain Seed Vigour During Selfing in Cunninghamia lanceolata

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Selfing often causes inbreeding depression, especially during seed and seedling stages. However, some selfed progeny show low inbreeding depression with enhanced vigour, differing from inbred counterparts. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms maintaining seed vigour during selfing in Cunninghamia lanceolata.

New Wistar Kyoto and spontaneously hypertensive rat transgenic models with ubiquitous expression of green fluorescent protein

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2016
The Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rat and the spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rat inbred strains are well-established models for human crescentic glomerulonephritis (CRGN) and metabolic syndrome, respectively.

Writing biology with mutant mice: the monstrous potential of post genomic life [PDF]

, 2011
Social scientific accounts identified in the biological grammars of early genomics a monstrous reductionism, ‘an example of brute life, the minimalist essence of things’ (Rabinow, 1996, p. 89).

Trans‐QTL Alliance of HKT1 and PHL7 Modulate Salinity Stress Tolerance and Enhance Crop Yield Endurance

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salinity stress can cause significant yield losses in crops because of its major impact on reproductive success. The complexity of salinity stress responses, particularly their tissue‐ and cell‐specific regulation, continues to challenge the translation of molecular insights into tangible crop yield improvements.

Creation of a Computational Pipeline to Extract Genes from Quantitative Trait Loci for Diabetes and Obesity [PDF]

, 2015
Type 2 Diabetes is a disease of relative insulin deficiency resulting from a combination of insulin resistance and decreased beta-cell function. Over the past several years, over 60 genes have been identified for Type 2 Diabetes in human genome-wide ...

Male mice emit distinct ultrasonic vocalizations when the female leaves the social interaction arena. [PDF]

, 2013
Adult male mice emit large number of complex ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) when interacting with adult females. Call numbers and call categories differ greatly among inbred mouse strains.

ZmTH1 Is Vital for Healthy Plant Growth and Promotes Cold/Drought Tolerance by Regulating Thiamin Diphosphate‐Dependent Metabolisms in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin B1 (VB1) plays a crucial role in sustaining plant health and enabling adaptive responses to environmental stress. The complex maize genome implies a sophisticated VB1 synthesis pathway, with the mechanisms by which VB1 benefits plants remaining elusive.
