Genomic organization of the rat Clock gene and sequence analysis in inbred rat strains
Genomics, 2006 While mutations in genes that function in the core molecular clock may disrupt circadian periodicity, their relevance to diurnal variation in metabolic, cardiovascular, and respiratory function is unknown. The circadian Clock gene product is an essential regulator of central and peripheral circadian rhythms in mammals.

International Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.Abstract The present article presents an integrative review related to stewardship in all the business and management disciplines, from its initial development in 1980 to the present. Specifically, we applied a latent Dirichlet allocation‐based topic modelling analysis to almost 1200 articles, seeking to creatively synthesize the concept of stewardship

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.

Maternal immune activation and strain specific interactions in the development of autism-like behaviors in mice. [PDF]
, 2013 It is becoming increasingly apparent that the causes of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are due to both genetic and environmental factors. Animal studies provide important translational models for elucidating specific genetic or environmental factors ...

Empowering Regional Conservation: Genetic Diversity Assessments as a Tool for Eelgrass Management
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To halt the loss of biodiversity, collaboration among scientists, managers and decision‐makers is vital. Although biodiversity loss is a global problem, management actions influencing diversity are often on a local to regional scale. Our study is an example of a regional conservation genomic assessment developed in collaboration between ...

Sex differences in corneal neovascularization in response to superficial corneal cautery in the rat.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Sex-based differences in susceptibility have been reported for a number of neovascular ocular diseases. We quantified corneal neovascularization, induced by superficial silver nitrate cautery, in male and female inbred albino Sprague-Dawley, inbred ...
