Does sex of the jockey influence racehorse physiology and performance (2022)
Journal Article
Schrurs, C., Dubois, G., Van Erck-Westergren, E., & Gardner, D. S. (2022). Does sex of the jockey influence racehorse physiology and performance. PLoS ONE, 17(8), Article e0273310. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0273310

The racing industry is supported by a predominance of female stablehands and work riders, but few become professional jockeys. Female jockeys have recently had notable race success. No study has assessed whether the sex of the rider may subtly influe... Read More about Does sex of the jockey influence racehorse physiology and performance.

Isolation, culturing and 3D bioprinting of equine myoblasts (2022)

Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism (2022)
Journal Article
Fusi, R., Rosignoli, S., Lou, H., Sangiorgi, G., Bovina, R., Pattem, J. K., …Salvi, S. (2022). Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,

Root angle in crops represents a key trait for efficient capture of soil resources. Root angle is determined by competing gravitropic versus anti-gravitropic offset (AGO) mechanisms. Here we report a new root angle regulatory gene termed ENHANCED GRA... Read More about Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism.
