Enhancing farmers’ access to neglected crop seeds for healthy diets in a changing climate: six recommendations for policy actionNARA Subscribed
Food insecurity and poor diets undermine human health, livelihoods, and aspirations. Climate change further exacerbates the problem of achieving zero hunger. Promoting the production of a diverse portfolio of nutrient-dense, climate-resilient crops enables food supply for healthy diets in the coming years and decades. Many are underutilized even though they are considered opportunity crops, with an unrealized potential to impr...
Dune Russet (COTX08063-2Ru) is the first French fry russet potato cultivar released by the Texas A&M Potato Breeding Program. It derives from a cross made by the Colorado State University Potato Program between Premier Russet and A99073-1 and was subsequently selected and advanced by the Texas Program. Dune Russet has oblong potato tubers with light russet skin texture and white flesh. It is characterized by having excellent F...
Homothallic or Heterothallic? A Genomic Investigation Into the Sexual Capabilities of the Ascomycete Fungus Clonostachys roseaNARA Subscribed
Modes of reproduction and sexual strategies strongly influence the genetic diversity and evolutionary potential of a species. The ascomycete fungus Clonostachys rosea is reported to be homothallic (sexually self‐fertile), although a rapid decay of genome‐wide linkage disequilibrium is also reported, something that is not in line with an obligate homothallic mode of reproduction. To investigate this phenomenon, we identified th...
Although plasma pTau181 has been shown to accurately discriminate patients with Alzheimer’s disease from healthy older adults, there are few studies of plasma biomarkers among middle-aged populations. Given the potential utility of plasma AD biomarkers such as pTau181 in screening for disease risk, examining pTau181 in a middle-aged cohort without AD is important for future implementation. The objectives of this study were to...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
From bathing standards to lived waterscapes: Why we need to rethink inland blue space qualityNARA Subscribed
Currently, the main way that recreational blue space quality is monitored and communicated to potential users is through designated bathing water status, which is evaluated via microbiological standards and epidemiological evidence; however, our experiences of blue spaces extend beyond bathing and microbiology. Interactions across sensory and ecological dynamics are central to recreation in blue spaces where perceived cleanlin...
