Citrus tristeza virus (CTV; species Closterovirus tristezae ) is ubiquitous in Australia, occurring in all production areas. Stem-pitting disease in white grapefruit varieties caused by CTV is managed by mild strain cross-protection. However, the protective isolate of CTV used for cross-protection, labelled PB61, is not fully characterised at the molecular level, even though most grapefruit budwood is inoculated with this viru...

Rationale Research on psychedelics has recently shown promising results in the treatment of various psychiatric disorders, but relatively little remains known about the psychiatric risks associated with naturalistic use of psychedelics. Objective The objective of the current study was to investigate associations between naturalistic psychedelic use and psychiatric risks. Methods Using a sample representative of the US adult po...

The fundamental goal of a rare plant translocation is to create self‐sustaining populations with the evolutionary resilience to persist in the long term. Yet, most plant translocation syntheses focus on a few factors influencing short‐term benchmarks of success (e.g., survival and reproduction). Short‐term benchmarks can be misleading when trying to infer future growth and viability because the factors that promote establishme...

In the brain neuropil, translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) is a stress response protein that is upregulated in microglia and astrocytes in diverse central nervous system pathologies. TSPO is widely used as a biomarker of neuroinflammation in preclinical and clinical neuroimaging studies. However, there is a paucity of knowledge on the function(s) of TSPO in glial cells. In this study, we explored a putative interaction between...

Tropical forests absorb large amounts of atmospheric CO 2 through photosynthesis, but high surface temperatures suppress this absorption while promoting isoprene emissions. While mechanistic isoprene emission models predict a tight coupling to photosynthetic electron transport (ETR) as a function of temperature, direct field observations of this phenomenon are lacking in the tropics and are necessary to assess the impact of a...
