‘Disease‐smart’ outcrossing can enhance individual fitness and increase survival via immune priming against pathogens: New approaches to strengthen genetic rescue efforts

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Our study provides a proof of concept for combining immune priming with assisted migration for insect conservation. Introducing genetically diverse, immune‐primed migrants improves both pathogen resistance and reproductive success in inbred individuals.

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.

Controlled study of autoimmunization against liver in inbred rat strains [PDF]

Gut, 1971
By prolonged immunization of an inbred rat strain with isologous liver homogenate in Freund's complete adjuvant a low grade autoimmune ;cholangitis' with periductular fibrosis has been demonstrated. The lesion could be transferred to isogeneic animals by serial spleen cell injections and was associated with mild but variable delayed skin sensitivity to

DSD1/ZmICEb regulates stomatal development and drought tolerance in maize

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
DECREASED STOMATAL DENSITY 1/INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION b regulates maize stomatal development and drought tolerance, providing a promising target for the genetic improvement of drought tolerance in maize by manipulating stomatal density. ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) growth and yield are severely limited by drought stress worldwide. Stomata play crucial

TaSED interacts with TaSPA synergistically regulating SDS‐sedimentation volume in bread wheat

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Wheat TaSED is a positive regulator of SDS‐sedimentation volume, an indicator of gluten strength and thus baking properties. TaSED interacts with the transcription factor TaSPA regulating wheat storage protein gene expression, altering protein composition and affecting SDS‐sedimentation volume, providing a valuable genetic resource for improving wheat ...

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 ...

Genomic Insights Into the Origin, Decline and Recovery of the Once Critically Endangered Iberian Lynx

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Iberian lynx was at the brink of extinction by the year 2000 but has since then, and thanks to intensive conservation measures, gone through a remarkable recovery, providing a much‐welcomed and encouraging conservation success story.

Effect of graded physical load on the state of the liver from morphometric data and biochemical blood indices of rats against a background of hypokinesia [PDF]

Tests were conducted on 100 sexually immature inbred August and Wistar male rats in order to determine the effects hypokinesia, physical load and phenamine on the liver.

Immunomodulation of salivary gland function due to cancer therapy

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
Abstract Functional salivary glands (SG) are essential for maintaining oral health, and salivary dysfunction is a persistent major clinical challenge. Several cancer therapies also have off‐target effects leading to SG dysfunction. Recent advances highlight the role of SG immune populations in homeostasis, dysfunction and gland regeneration.

Natural variation in ZmNRT2.5 modulates husk leaf width and promotes seed protein content in maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 4, Page 1039-1052, April 2025.
Summary The husk leaf of maize (Zea mays) encases the ear as a modified leaf and plays pivotal roles in protecting the ear from pathogen infection, translocating nutrition for grains and warranting grain yield. However, the natural genetic basis for variation in husk leaf width remains largely unexplored.
