Key message Three independent experiments with different genetic backgrounds mapped the resistance gene Pm7 in the oat genome to the distal part of the long arm of chromosome 5D. Abstract Resistance of oat to Blumeria graminis DC. f. sp. avenae is an important breeding goal in Central and Western Europe. In this study, the position of the effective and widely used resistance gene Pm7 in the oat genome was determined based on t...
Citizen science’s transformative impact on science, citizen empowerment and socio-political processesNARA Subscribed
Citizen science (CS) can foster transformative impact for science, citizen empowerment and socio-political processes. To unleash this impact, a clearer understanding of its current status and challenges for its development is needed. Using quantitative indicators developed in a collaborative stakeholder process, our study provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of CS in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Our onl...
Nematode biphasic ‘boom and bust’ dynamics are dependent on host bacterial load while linking dauer and mouth‐form polyphenismsNARA Subscribed
Cross‐kingdom interactions involve dynamic processes that shape terrestrial ecosystems and represent striking examples of co‐evolution. The multifaceted relationships of entomopathogenic nematodes with their insect hosts and symbiotic bacteria are well‐studied cases of co‐evolution and pathogenicity. In contrast, microbial interactions in soil after the natural death of insects and other invertebrates are minimally understood....
Future generations of global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) can benefit from optical technologies. Especially optical clocks could back-up or replace the currently used microwave clocks, having the potential to improve GNSS position determination enabled by their lower frequency instabilities. Furthermore, optical clock technologies—in combination with optical inter-satellite links—enable new GNSS architectures, e.g., by...
Genetic variations affecting the course of depressive symptoms in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have not yet been well studied. Therefore, we set out to investigate whether distinct haplotypes of the two insertion/deletion polymorphisms in the serotonin-transporter-linked polymorphic region ( 5-HTTLPR ) and the angiotensin I-converting enzyme ( ACE ) gene located on chromosome 17 can be identified as risk factors...
EPMA-World Congress 2015NARA Subscribed
Pristionchus pacificus, recently established as a model organism in evolutionary biology, is a cosmopolitan nematode that has a necromenic association with scarab beetles. The diverse array of host beetle species and habitat types occupied by P. pacificus make it a good model for investigating local adaptation to novel environments. Presence of P. pacificus on La Réunion Island, a young volcanic island with a dynamic geologica...
Hermaphroditism has evolved several times independently in nematodes. The model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and Pristionchus pacificus are self‐fertile hermaphrodites with rare facultative males. Both species are members of different families: C. elegans belongs to the Rhabditidae and P. pacificus to the Diplogastridae. Also, both species differ in their ecology: C. elegans is a soil‐dwelling nematode that is often found i...
