NUTRITION REGULATES REPRODUCTIVE SENESCENCE AND TERMINAL INVESTMENT ACROSS THE REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE OF A LONG-LIVED MAMMAL

Nutrition regulates reproductive senescence and terminal investment across the reproductive cycle of a long-lived mammal

Abstract Deterioration in nutritional condition with aging could reduce reproductive success but coincides with declines in residual reproductive potential, thus invoking opposing expectations for late-life reproduction.Yet, the mechanisms regulating energy accrual and allocation to reproduction and survival throughout the lifetime of long-lived, i

Early Induction of the Arabidopsis GSTF8 Promoter by Specific Strains of the Fungal Pathogen Rhizoctonia solani

The Arabidopsis glutathione S-transferase GSTF8 promoter directs root-specific responses to stress.In this study, the response of this promoter to plant infection with Rhizoctonia solani was investigated using a luciferase reporter system.Arabidopsis seedlings harboring the GSTF8:luciferase construct were monitored in coq-clear 100 ubiquinol vivo f
