Transcriptional plasticity buffers genetic variation in zinc homeostasis (2019)
Journal Article
Pita-Barbosa, A., Ricachenevsky, F. K., Wilson, M., Dottorini, T., & Salt, D. E. (2019). Transcriptional plasticity buffers genetic variation in zinc homeostasis. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 19482. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-55736-0

In roots of Arabidopsis thaliana, Zn can be either loaded into the xylem for translocation to the shoot or stored in vacuoles. Vacuolar storage is achieved through the action of the Zn/Cd transporter HMA3 (Heavy Metal Atpase 3). The Col-0 accession h...

Developing and evaluating threshold-based algorithms to detect drinking behavior in dairy cows using reticulorumen temperature (2019)
Journal Article
Vázquez-Diosdado, J., Miguel-Pacheco, G., Plant, B., Dottorini, T., Green, M., & Kaler, J. (2019). Developing and evaluating threshold-based algorithms to detect drinking behavior in dairy cows using reticulorumen temperature. Journal of Dairy Science, 102(11), 10471-10482. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2019-16442

© 2019 American Dairy Science Association In this study, we assessed for the first time the use of a reticuloruminal temperature bolus and a thresholding method to detect drinking events and investigated different factors that can affect drinking beh...

Evolution of gene expression levels in the male reproductive organs of Anopheles mosquitoes (2019)
Journal Article
Izquierdo, A., Fahrenberger, M., Persampieri, T., Benedict, M. Q., Giles, T., Catteruccia, F., …Dottorini, T. (2019). Evolution of gene expression levels in the male reproductive organs of Anopheles mosquitoes. Life Science Alliance, 2(1), Article e00191. https://doi.org/10.26508/lsa.201800191

Modifications in gene expression determine many of the phenotypic differentiations between closely related species. This is particularly evident in reproductive tissues, where evolution of genes is more rapid, facilitating the appearance of distinct...
