Transcriptional and post-translational upregulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in Arabidopsis thaliana (L. Heynh) under cadmium stress
(Elsevier, 2019-08-01)Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a tightly controlled anaplerotic enzyme that replenishes organic acids that have been withdrawn from the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Organic acid anions are important chelators of ... -
EDTP/MTMR14: A novel target for improved survivorship to prolonged anoxia and cellular protein aggregates
(Elsevier, 2019-07-13)Drosophila egg-derived tyrosine phosphatase (EDTP), a lipid phosphatase that removes 3-position phosphate at the inositol ring, has dual functions in oogenesis and muscle performance in adults. A mammalian homologous gene ... -
Rapid cold hardening and octopamine modulate chill tolerance in Locusta migratoria
(Elsevier, 2019-08-01)Temperature has profound effects on the neural function and behaviour of insects. When exposed to low temperature, chill-susceptible insects enter chill coma, a reversible state of neuromuscular paralysis. Despite the ... -
Extra-pair offspring are less heterozygous than within-pair offspring in American redstarts (Setophaga ruticilla)
(2019-03-20)The vast majority of bird species are socially monogamous; however, extra-pair paternity is nearly ubiquitous and a number of theories have been proposed to explain the prevalence of this mixed mating strategy. Here, we ... -
Correlates of alternative migratory strategies in western bluebirds
(2019-03-08)Partial migration occurs when only some animals in a population migrate. While evidence suggests that migratory strategies are partially controlled by genes, individual and environmental conditions which alter the cost-benefit ...
