The neuromolecular mechanisms that coordinate food availability with C. elegans male sexual behavior (2009-05-15)Organisms must coordinate behavioral and physiological responses to changingenvironmental conditions. In the nematode C. elegans, the presence or absence of foodin the environment affects many metabolic and behavioral ...

(2011-08-08)Heat stress adversely affects wheat production in many regions of the world and is particularly detrimental during reproductive development. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) ...
-
(2012-02-02)In the wake of rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, and declining ground water table, breeding for drought tolerance in food crops has become a top priority throughout the world. Phenotyping a large population of breeding ...
