Functional characterisation of Target of Rapamycin (TOR) signalling in PhyscomitrellaNARA Subscribed
Key message The evolutionary conserved TOR kinase positively controls growth and development of the moss Physcomitrella, development and function of its chloroplasts, its protein synthesis, and cell-cycle progression. Abstract Target of Rapamycin (TOR) is a conserved protein kinase and an important signalling hub in eukaryotes. The moss Physcomitrella ( Physcomitrium patens ) is a model organism for plant physiology, developme...
Expression–environment associations in transcriptomic heat stress responses for a global plant lineageNARA Subscribed
The increasing frequency and severity of heatwaves will intensify stress on plants. Given regional variation in heatwave exposure and expected differences in thermal tolerance between species it is unlikely that all plant species will be affected equally by climate change. However, little is currently known about variation in the responses of plants to heat stress, or how those responses differ among closely related species ad...
Phenotypic Characterization of Larval Zebrafish (Danio rerio) with Partial Knockdown of the cacna1a GeneNARA Subscribed
The CACNA1A gene encodes the pore-forming α1 subunit of voltage-gated P/Q type Ca 2+ channels (Ca v 2.1). Mutations in this gene, among others, have been described in patients and rodents suffering from absence seizures and episodic ataxia type 2 with/without concomitant seizures. In this study, we aimed for the first time to assess phenotypic and behavioral alterations in larval zebrafish with partial cacna1aa knockdown, plac...
The hypothesis that effective population sizes are low in hatchery‐reared catla ( Catla catla ) from Bangladesh, possibly leading to inbreeding and loss of variation, was tested. The study was based on analysis of seven microsatellite loci in three samples of hatchery‐reared catla and four samples representing wild populations. Pair‐wise estimates of genetic differentiation between samples were low between wild samples (θ rang...
Widespread hybridization among species of Indian major carps in hatcheries, but not in the wildNARA Subscribed
Twenty‐one allozyme loci in samples of wild‐caught and hatchery‐reared Indian major carps from Bangladesh were analysed. Bayesian model‐based clustering analysis revealed the presence of four taxa, corresponding to the three known species along with a fourth unknown taxon present in two hatchery samples. Individual admixture coefficients showed that 24% of all hatchery‐reared fishes were hybrids, whereas a single hybrid was ob...
