Seminal root angle is associated with root system architecture in durum wheat

This study examines the relationship between seminal root angle and root system architecture in durum wheat, showing distinct RSA patterns in wide and narrow genotypes at later growth stages.

Newly Sequenced Genomes Reveal Patterns of Gene Family Expansion in select Dragonflies (Odonata: Anisoptera)

This study identifies gene family expansions in two dragonfly families, linking them to ecological and life history traits, and finds Odonata has lower gene turnover than other insects.

A Markovian dynamics for C. elegans behavior across scales

This paper develops a Markov model of C. elegans foraging behavior that captures dynamics across scales, revealing new behavioral states and a trade-off between local and global search strategies.

Escherichia coli isolated from commercial layer hens in Australia remain susceptible to critically important antimicrobials

This study assesses antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli from Australian layer hens, finding low resistance rates likely due to strict antimicrobial use controls.

Anatomical drivers of stomatal conductance in sorghum lines with different leaf widths grown under different temperatures

The paper examines how leaf width and temperature affect stomatal conductance and anatomical traits in sorghum, finding narrower leaves have lower stomatal conductance and higher water use efficiency.

Antimicrobial Resistance, Genomic, and Public Health Insights into Enterococcus spp. from Australian Cattle

This study examines antimicrobial resistance in enterococci from Australian cattle and finds low resistance prevalence, with bovine isolates clustering with non-vancomycin-resistant human isolates.

Machine Learning Informs RNA-Binding Chemical Space

This study introduces ROBIN, a large RNA-binding small molecule library, and uses machine learning to model RNA-binding chemical space.

Genetic diversity analysis and characterization of Ugandan sorghum

This study characterizes Ugandan sorghum genetic diversity using whole genome SNPs and identifies genomic regions associated with juvenile cold tolerance for breeding improvement.

Proximity to human settlement is directly related to carriage of critically important antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in Silver Gulls

This study finds that Silver Gulls near human settlements carry more critically important antimicrobial-resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae than those in remote areas.

Validation of selective agars for detection and quantification of Escherichia coli resistant to critically important antimicrobials

This study identifies optimal selective agars and antimicrobial combinations for detecting and quantifying resistant Escherichia coli using designed experiments and statistical analysis.

Maximally predictive ensemble dynamics from data

This paper introduces a method to infer macroscopic dynamics from data by maximizing predictive information, applied to both physical systems and the movement of C. elegans.

Robotic Antimicrobial Susceptibility Platform (RASP): A Next Generation Approach to One-Health Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance.

The paper introduces a robotic platform for high-throughput antimicrobial resistance surveillance, showing it matches human performance and identifies diverse AMR phenotypes in gut E. coli.

The Orsay Virus as a model for population-wide viral infection dynamics

This paper uses C. elegans infected with Orsay Virus to study population-wide viral infection dynamics, showing host genetics and behavior influence viral spread.

Examination of Australian Streptococcus suis Isolates From Clinically Affected Pigs in a Global Context and the Genomic Characterisation of ST1 as a Predictor of Virulence

The paper analyzes 148 Australian Streptococcus suis isolates from pigs, comparing their genomic features and virulence genes to global isolates, identifying ST1 as a virulence predictor.

A domestication history of dynamic adaptation and genomic deterioration in sorghum

This study analyzes archaeogenomes of sorghum to show a decline in genetic diversity and mutation load over time, with dynamic selection pressures and introgression shaping domestication.
