Evolutionary biology and genetic techniques for insect control [PDF]

, 2015
The requirement to develop new techniques for insect control that minimize negative environmental impacts has never been more pressing. Here we discuss population suppression and population replacement technologies. These include sterile insect technique,

An individual-based model for the Lenski experiment, and the deceleration of the relative fitness [PDF]

, 2016
The Lenski experiment investigates the long-term evolution of bacterial populations. Its design allows the direct comparison of the reproductive fitness of an evolved strain with its founder ancestor. It was observed by Wiser et al.

Seed production of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) in response to time of emergence in cotton and rice [PDF]

, 2012
The spread of herbicide resistance in barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.) poses a serious threat to crop production in the southern United States.

Yearworth v. North Bristol NHS Trust:A Property Case of Uncertain Significance? [PDF]

, 2010
It has long been the position in law that, subject to some minor but important exceptions, property cannot be held in the human body, whether living or dead.

Expression profiles of genes regulating dairy cow fertility: recent findings, ongoing activities and future possibilities [PDF]

, 2008
Subfertility has negative effects for dairy farm profitability, animal welfare and sustainability of animal production. Increasing herd sizes and economic pressures restrict the amount of time that farmers can spend on counteractive management Genetic ...

Occurrence of apomictic conspecifics and ecological preferences rather than colonization history govern the geographic distribution of sexual Potentilla puberula

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The geographic distribution of sexual‐apomictic taxa (i.e., comprising individuals usually reproducing either sexually or asexually via seeds) is traditionally thought to be driven by their ecological preferences and colonization histories. Where sexuals

Gain-of-function p53 protein transferred via small extracellular vesicles promotes conversion of fibroblasts to a cancer-associated phenotype

Cell Reports, 2021
Summary: Tumor and stromal interactions consist of reciprocal signaling through cytokines, growth factors, direct cell-cell interactions, and extracellular vesicles (EVs).

Pollinator probing preference and switching mode-mediated self-interference within a monoecious plant significantly reduced reproductive fitness

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionMonoecy is usually interpreted as an important evolutionary route of the plant sexual system from hermaphroditism to dioecy. This floral mechanism can effectively reduce self-interference during the reproductive process, and the services ...

Role of tissue-factor bearing extracellular vesicles released from ovarian cancer cells in platelet aggregation in vitro and venous thrombosis in mice

Thrombosis Update, 2021
Objective: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) contributes to morbidity and mortality in women with ovarian cancer. Underlying mechanisms of venous thrombosis in ovarian cancer are not well-understood. The aim of this study was to identify the potential role of

Microguards and micromessengers of the genome [PDF]

, 2016
The regulation of gene expression is of fundamental importance to maintain organismal function and integrity and requires a multifaceted and highly ordered sequence of events.
