Background Cereal crops dominate arable agriculture and underpin global food supply. Cereal grain yield is closely related to crop nitrogen (N) uptake. However, excessive inputs of N fertiliser in cereal production systems can have negative environmental consequences and represent high financial risk for farmers. Scope This review explores opportunities to reduce the current reliance of the global staples, wheat ( Triticum aes...
Muscle fat infiltration (i.e., myosteatosis) is an important index of muscle health and pathology in disease states, such as chronic liver disease (CLD). However, it is unknown whether myosteatosis differs due to anatomical location. Further, the mechanistic implications of divergent intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) deposition remain unknown in patients with CLD. Thirty-three patients with CLD (55.0 ± 10.5 years) and 17 hea...
Phycotoxins Along Two New Jersey Estuaries—Limitations of Passive Samplers in a Complex SystemNARA Subscribed
As a state with high shellfish aquaculture production in the USA, it is essential that New Jersey (NJ) managers identify the phycotoxins of concern and their spatiotemporal distribution. However, to date, there are no publications on phycotoxin presence or concentrations in NJ estuaries. Passive samplers are valuable for assessing emerging threats and long-term trends in phycotoxins, but high levels of phenolic compounds from...
Influence of magmatic and magmatic-hydrothermal processes on the lithium endowment of micas in the Cornubian Batholith (SW England)NARA Subscribed
The Cornubian Batholith (SW England) is an archetypal Variscan rare metal granite with potential for Li-mica mineralization. We present a petrographic, trace element and multivariate statistical study of micas from the Cornubian Batholith granite series and related hydrothermally altered units to assess the role of magmatic vs subsolidus processes and of fluxing elements (F and B) on the Li cycle during the evolution of the sy...
Immunogenicity testing and characterization is an important part of understanding the immune response to administration of a protein therapeutic. Neutralizing antibody (NAb) assays are used to characterize a positive anti-drug antibody (ADA) response. Harmonization of reporting of NAb assay performance and results enables efficient communication and expedient review by industry and health authorities. Herein, a cross-industry...
In situ X-ray and IR probes relevant to Earth science at the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley LaboratoryNARA Subscribed
Access to synchrotron X-ray facilities has become an important aspect for many disciplines in experimental Earth science. This is especially important for studies that rely on probing samples in situ under natural conditions different from the ones found at the surface of the Earth. The non-ambient condition Earth science program at the Advanced Light Source (ALS), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, offers a variety of too...
Characterisation and mapping of a Globodera pallida resistance derived from the wild potato species Solanum spegazziniiNARA Subscribed
Key message A new resistance locus acting against the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida was mapped to chromosome VI in the diploid wild potato species Solanum spegazzinii CPC 7195. Abstract The potato cyst nematodes (PCN) Globodera pallida and Globodera rostochiensis are economically important potato pests in almost all regions where potato is grown. One important management strategy involves deployment through introgress...
