Integrating hydrogeology and water justice for more effective and equitable groundwater planningNARA Subscribed
Groundwater management plans are an essential tool for groundwater sharing. To be equitable and effective, groundwater management plans must explicitly consider water justice. This is especially important as the impacts on groundwater intensify, such as the impacts from climate change and overextraction. This article summarizes key considerations for groundwater management planning in the context of climate change and identifi...
Identification of two mutant JASON-RELATED genes associated with unreduced pollen production in potatoNARA Subscribed
Key message Multiple QTLs control unreduced pollen production in potato. Two major-effect QTLs co-locate with mutant alleles of genes with homology to AtJAS, a known regulator of meiotic spindle orientation. Abstract In diploid potato the production of unreduced gametes with a diploid (2 n ) rather than a haploid ( n ) number of chromosomes has been widely reported. Besides their evolutionary important role in sexual polyploid...
Nonsense mutation in the novel PERCC1 gene as a genetic cause of congenital diarrhea and enteropathyNARA Subscribed
Congenital diarrheas and enteropathies (CODEs) constitute a heterogeneous group of individually rare disorders manifesting with infantile-onset chronic diarrhea. Genomic deletions in chromosome 16, encompassing a sequence termed the ‘intestine-critical region (ICR)’, were recently identified as the cause of an autosomal recessive congenital enteropathy. The regulatory sequence within the ICR is flanked by an unannotated open r...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Key message In polyploids, linkage mapping is carried out using genotyping with discrete dosage scores. Here, we use probabilistic genotypes and we validate it for the construction of polyploid linkage maps. Abstract Marker genotypes are generally called as discrete values: homozygous versus heterozygous in the case of diploids, or an integer allele dosage in the case of polyploids. Software for linkage map construction and/or...
Quantifying denitrification in rippled permeable sands through combined flume experiments and modelingNARA Subscribed
We measured denitrification in permeable sediments in a sealed flume tank with environmentally representative fluid flow and solute transport behavior using novel measurements. Numerical flow and reactive transport models representing the flume experiments were implemented to provide mechanistic insight into the coupled hydrodynamic and biogeochemical processes. There was broad agreement between the model results and experimen...
