The development of a new bread wheat genotype carrying two loci for endosperm softness by A. V. Simonov, A. K. Chistyakova, E. V. Morozova, L. V. Shchukina, A. Börner, T. A. Pshenichnikova

“…Furthermore, these traits, especially vitreousness, are strongly influenced by the growth conditions. Earlier, the Ha-Sp locus was introgessed into chromosome 5A of the bread wheat line 84/98w from Aegilops speltoides Tausch., which reduces endosperm hardness and vitreousness, like the dominant allele of the Ha locus. …”

Heterogeneities in infection outcomes across species: sex and tissue differences in virus susceptibility by Roberts, Katherine E, Longdon, Ben

“…Here, we first take a comparative approach to examine sex differences in susceptibility across 31 species of Drosophilidae infected with Drosophila C Virus (DCV). We found a strong positive inter-specific correlation in viral load between males and females, with a close to 1:1 relationship, suggesting that susceptibility to DCV across species is not sex specific. …”
