Background Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of plant hormones that control many aspects of plant growth. The SL signalling mechanism is homologous to that of karrikins (KARs), smoke-derived compounds that stimulate seed germination. In angiosperms, the SL receptor is an α/β-hydrolase known as...

Evolution of the New Zealand voluntary carbon market: An analysis of CarboNZero client disclosures
Download2015
Milne, Markus J., Murphy, Maya, Birchall, S. Jeff
Climate change has the potential to dramatically change the world as we know, both in terms of the environment and the way in which societies operate. Public policy responses to climate change continue to evolve, with many western economies proposing mechanisms for emission reductions, for...

eeds are one of the most significant innovations in the land plant lineage, critical to the diversification and adaptation of plants to terrestrial environments. From perspective of seed evo-devo, the most crucial developmental stage in this innovation is seed maturation, which includes...

Evolutionary and biochemical characterization of a Chromochloris zofingiensis MBOAT with wax synthase and DGAT activity

Xu, Yang, Pan, Xue, Lu, Junhao, Wang, Juli, Shan, Qiyuan, Stout, Jake, Chen, Guanqun
Abstract: Wax synthase (WS) catalyzes the last step in wax ester biosynthesis in green plants. Two unrelated subfamilies of WS including the bifunctional acyltransferase and plant-like WS have been reported, but the latter is largely uncharacterized in microalgae. Here, we functionally...

Accounting for the evolutionary origins of morphological novelty is one of the core challenges of contemporary evolutionary biology. A successful explanatory framework requires the integration of different biological disciplines, but the relationships between developmental biology and standard...

Evolutionary origins of sensation in metazoans: functional evidence for a new sensory organ in sponges
Download2014-02-11
Background One of the hallmarks of multicellular organisms is the ability of their cells to trigger responses to the environment in a coordinated manner. In recent years primary cilia have been shown to be present as ‘antennae’ on almost all animal cells, and are involved in cell-to-cell...

Evolving the theory and praxis of knowledge translation through social interaction: A social phenomenological study
Download2009
McWilliam, C., Kothari, A., Leipert, B., Ward-Griffin, C., Forbes, D.
Background: As an inherently human process fraught with subjectivity, dynamic interaction, and change, social interaction knowledge translation (KT) invites implementation scientists to explore what might be learned from adopting the academic tradition of social constructivism and an interpretive...
