THE NANOS1 GENE WAS DUPLICATED IN EARLY VERTEBRATES AND THE TWO PARALOGS SHOW DIFFERENT GONADAL EXPRESSION PROFILES IN A SHARK

The nanos1 gene was duplicated in early Vertebrates and the two paralogs show different gonadal expression profiles in a shark

Abstract Nanos are RNA-binding proteins playing crucial roles in germ cell development and maintenance.Based on phylogenetic and synteny analyses, this study reveals that nanos1 gene has undergone multiple duplications and gene copies losses in Vertebrates.Chondrichthyan species display two nanos1 genes (named nanos1A/1B), which were read more both

Cascading Effects of Cover Crops on the Subsequent Cash Crop Defense against the Polyphagous Herbivore Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)

Recent studies have started to show that the benefits of cover crops can cascade to the cash crop growing seasons.However, the impact of cover crops on the subsequent cash crop defense against herbivores is not well understood.To test this, we conducted a field and laboratory study to assess the possible cascading effects of cover crops such as Vig
