Increasing the Stimulation Dose of rFSH in Unexpected Poor Responders Is Not Associated with Better IVF Outcome by Levent Tutuncu, Ozgur Dundar

“…The aim of this retrospective study is to determine whether increasing the stimulation dose of rFSH in unexpected poor responders is associated with better in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome or not. A total of forty eligible women who fulfilled our definition of poor responders and who did not achieve an ongoing pregnancy in the first cycle and returned for a second higher rFSH dose IVF cycle with a long-agonist protocol were included to the study. …”

Changes in Number and Weight of Wheat and Triticale Grains to Manipulation in Source-Sink Relationship by E. Ballesteros-Rodríguez, C. G. Martínez-Rueda, E. J. Morales-Rosales, G. Estrada-Campuzano, G. F. González

“…The number of grains was affected by all treatments in both species, while the individual grain weight was increased by thinning and degraining mainly in triticale. A greater number of fertile florets in triticale were associated with their higher rate of abortion compared to wheat. …”

Genetic improvement of cooking time in common bean: the role of dominance by Rita Carolina de Melo, Jefferson Luís Meirelles Coimbra, Luan Tiago dos Santos Carbonari, Paulo Henrique Cerutti, Altamir Frederico Guidolin

“…ABSTRACT: This study aimed to understand how the genetic components involved in cooking time behave from the first generations of self-fertilization to the formation of lines. Two targeted crosses were used, resulting in segregating progenies at different heterozygosity levels (F2, F3, F8, and F9). …”

Maternal environmental enrichment affects the corpora lutea and progesterone levels in pregnant mice by Fernanda Luz De la Cruz Borthiry, Jimena Soledad Beltrame, Julieta Aylen Schander, Aime Florencia Silva, Fernanda Parborell, Ana María Franchi, María Laura Ribeiro

“…As progesterone regulates gestation, we decided to study the effect of maternal environmental enrichment on ovarian physiology during early gestation.MethodsFor this, six-week-old female mice were housed in enriched or control cages for six weeks and then mated with control fertile males. Females with a mucus plug were returned to their respective control or enriched cages. …”

De Novo Transcriptome Sequencing of Olea europaea L. to Identify Genes Involved in the Development of the Pollen Tube by Domenico Iaria, Adriana Chiappetta, Innocenzo Muzzalupo

“…In order to determine compatibility relationships, using next-generation sequencing techniques and a de novo transcriptome assembly strategy, we show that pollen tubes from different olive plants, grown in vitro in a medium containing its own pistil and in combination pollen/pistil from self-sterile and self-fertile cultivars, have a distinct gene expression profile and many of the differentially expressed sequences between the samples fall within gene families involved in the development of the pollen tube, such as lipase, carboxylesterase, pectinesterase, pectin methylesterase, and callose synthase. …”
