DEK Loss Induces Task-specific Deficits in Learning and Memory and Reprograms the Hippocampal Transcriptome in MiceNARA Subscribed
DEK is an estrogen-responsive chromatin-remodeling protein broadly expressed in the murine and human brain, with high expression in memory-relevant regions such as the hippocampus. Prior work from our group and others has linked DEK loss to cellular features associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias. Notably, our group has demonstrated that DEK expression declines with increasing dementia se...
The free‐air CO 2 enrichment (FACE) site at the Birmingham Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR) is situated in a long‐established mature, temperate oak‐dominated forest. Over the past 8 years, these tree species have been exposed to elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 target: 150 ppm above ambient). The observed eCO 2 fertilization effect is significant in the mature oak trees, with sustained increases in photosynthesis and stem dry matter p...
We assembled a European bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) association mapping panel ( n = 480) genotyped using a 90,000 feature single nucleotide polymorphism array, with the aim of identifying genetic loci controlling resistance to four fungal diseases: yellow (stripe) rust (YR), brown (leaf) rust (BR), Septoria tritici blotch (ST) and powdery mildew (PM). Simulations showed our panel to have good power to detect genetic lo...
Tropical forests play a significant role in global carbon sequestration. However, our understanding of how tropical tree species adjust to climate warming remains limited to studies on seedlings grown in pots and highly controlled growth conditions. To reduce this knowledge gap, we used a field experiment with 5‐year‐old juvenile trees of 12 naturally co‐occurring dominant tropical Andean montane and lowland species growing in...
Spawning and larval development of the mesophotic octocoral Swiftia exserta in aquariaNARA Subscribed
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill injured mesophotic and deep-sea environments over a vast area. In order to restore mesophotic and deep-sea coral species impacted by the spill, information on fundamental ecosystem processes such as reproduction is needed. During expeditions in 2021 and 2022, fragments of the mesophotic octocoral Swiftia exserta were collected from the northern Gulf of Mexico and transported to aquaria at f...
