Main conclusion Almond trees prioritize C to yield rather than stem growth, and their overall lower NSC stores compared to forest trees may have consequences for resilience under environmental variability. Abstract Perennial tree crops store nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) as energy reserves that can be used to persist during both predictable periods of reduced activity like dormancy and more unpredictable periods associate...
Cold storage, high concentration, and early addition of sperm enhance fertilisation success in Durvillaea potatorumNARA Subscribed
Seaweed aquaculture requires reliable hatchery protocols to ensure a consistent supply of seedstock for cultivation. Durvillaea spp. (order Fucales), are large canopy-forming brown seaweeds native to the cool waters of the southern hemisphere and have been identified as a promising candidate for cultivation. However, components of the hatchery methods remain poorly characterised. This study investigated key factors influencing...
Assessment of two minimally invasive methodologies for sex identification in the European eel, Anguilla anguillaNARA Subscribed
Sex is an important driver of variation in behaviour, ecology and physiology. Sex identification in the Critically Endangered European eel ( Anguilla anguilla ) currently requires fish sacrifice, or the use of morphological differences such as body length, which can be inaccurate in certain habitats and at intermediate body lengths. Non‐lethal tools for accurate sex identification in this species are therefore required. Here,...
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...
Early life-cycle biology and nursery suitability of the southern bull kelp (Durvillaea potatorum)NARA Subscribed
The large fucoid alga Durvillaea potatorum (southern bull kelp) has been identified as a suitable species for offshore seaweed aquaculture due to its large size, preference for wave-exposed sites, and high levels of bioproducts. However, there is a limited understanding of its reproduction and early life-cycle biology and a lack of scalable nursery techniques. We conducted experiments assessing: 1) gamete release, fertilisatio...
Durvillaea spp. (Fucales) occur on wave-exposed coasts in parts of the southern hemisphere. In Tasmania, Australia, a small but economically valuable industry (> US$1.5 million GVP) harvests beach-cast Durvillaea potatorum , primarily for alginates and liquid plant biostimulants. Currently, demand for D. potatorum biomass exceeds supply, prompting interest in aquaculture to sustainably increase production. However, fundamental...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
