Do strigolactones play a role in the ascent and attachment behavior of Pisum sativum? by Bianca Bonato, Tom Bennett, Silvia Guerra, Sara Avesani, Umberto Castiello

“…They play a crucial role in acting as long-distance signals from root to shoot to coordinate shoot growth with root environmental conditions. Here, we test whether and how SLs play a role in the climbing behavior of pea plants by studying the circumnutation of the tendrils using three-dimensional (3D) kinematical analysis. …”

mTOR Inhibition: From Aging to Autism and Beyond by Matt Kaeberlein

“…The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a highly conserved protein that regulates growth and proliferation in response to environmental and hormonal cues. Broadly speaking, organisms are constantly faced with the challenge of interpreting their environment and making a decision between “grow or do not grow.” mTOR is a major component of the network that makes this decision at the cellular level and, to some extent, the tissue and organismal level as well. …”

Historic Preservation, Complexity, and the Shadow of Monumentality: The Case of Lutyens’ Delhi by Cem Kayatekin

“…In reaction to such calls, arguments of historic preservation and conservation have been recycled in defense of the built environmental status quo within the area. One of the more layered arguments given for such a manner of preservation is that presented by Buch (2003) which pulls from a wide breadth of perspectives, ranging from basic arguments of architectural legacy to those which extrapolate connections between the Vastu Purusha and the masterplan inherent to Lutyens’ Delhi. …”

Habitat Selection and Mating Success in a Mustelid by Thierry Lodé

“…That some habitat types may favour a good reproduction forms a key factor for species conservation and environmental management. Nevertheless, such as in various vertebrates, habitat requirements seem to be based on simple broad features of habitat, suggesting that habitat avoidance rather than habitat preference can explain polecat habitat predilection.…”
