ABSTRACT Brassica napus (canola) is a significant contributor to the world's oil production and is cultivated across continents, yet acidic soils with aluminium (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+) toxicities limit its production. The genetic determinants underlying natural variation for acidic soil tolerance in canola are unknown and need to be determined ...

ABSTRACT Background Male preconception health remains a critically under‐addressed area of family planning. While research suggests air pollution may harm semen quality, downstream impacts on pregnancy, particularly for more vulnerable infertility treatment populations, are understudied.

Voltage‐gated potassium channels mediate thyroid hormone control of skeletal muscle excitability
Abstract figure legend Thyroid hormone (TH)‐dependent remodelling of potassium (K+) channel networks regulates skeletal muscle (SkM) excitability. Triiodothyronine (T3), locally generated from thyroxine (T4) by type 2 deiodinase (D2), binds thyroid hormone receptors (TRα/β) and modulates transcription via thyroid response elements (TREs).

Impaired Motor Function in a Zebrafish Stathmin‐2 Knockout Model
ABSTRACT Stathmin‐2 (STMN2) is a microtubule‐associated protein that plays a role in the stability of microtubules in axons of the nervous system of animals. In this study, we generated a novel zebrafish STMN2 knockout (KO) model. STMN2 is represented by two genes in the zebrafish genome: stmn2a and stmn2b.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Azoospermia, defined as the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate, is a major cause of male infertility and is classified into obstructive and non‐obstructive forms. While obstructive azoospermia is primarily mechanical in origin, non‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is characterized by impaired spermatogenesis and is ...
