Project description:Cropping soils vary in extent of natural suppression of soil-borne plant diseases. However, it is unknown whether similar variation occurs across pastoral agricultural systems. We examined soil microbial community properties known to be associated with disease suppression across 50 pastoral fields varying in management intensity. The composition and abundance of the disease-suppressive community were assessed from both taxonomic and functional perspectives.

DNA Methylation profiles of self-reported Hispanic subjects in the Northern Manhattan Study

Project description:The Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS) is a community-based cohort designed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of stroke, dementia, and other vascular outcomes. DNA methylation profiles were generated using the Illumina MethylationEPIC v1.0 BeadChip, which assays about 850k CpGs, from blood samples of self-reported Hispanic adults. Eligible participants were stroke-free, aged ≥40 years, and had resided in the Northern Manhattan community for at least three months.

Genetic compensation rather than genetic assimilation drives the evolution of plasticity in response to mild warming across latitudes in a damselfly

Project description:Global warming is causing plastic and evolutionary changes in the phenotypes of ectotherms. Yet, we have limited knowledge on how the interplay between plasticity and evolution shapes thermal responses and underlying gene expression patterns. We assessed thermal reaction norm patterns across the transcriptome and identified associated molecular pathways in northern and southern populations of the damselfly Ischnura elegans. Larvae were reared in a common garden experiment at the mean summer water temperatures experienced at the northern (20 °C) and southern (24 °C) latitudes. This allowed a space-for-time substitution where the current gene expression levels at 24 °C in southern larvae are a proxy for the expected responses of northern larvae under gradual thermal evolution to the predicted 4 °C warming. Most differentially expressed genes showed fixed differences across temperatures between latitudes, suggesting that thermal genetic adaptation will mainly evolve through changes in constitutive gene expression. Northern populations also frequently showed plastic responses in gene expression to mild warming, while southern populations were much less responsive to temperature. Thermal responsive genes in northern populations showed to a large extent a pattern of genetic compensation, i.e. gene expression that was induced at 24 °C in northern populations remained at a lower constant level in southern populations, and were associated with metabolic and translation pathways. There was instead little evidence for genetic assimilation of an initial plastic response to mild warming. Our data therefore suggest that genetic compensation rather than genetic assimilation may drive the evolution of plasticity in response to mild warming in this damselfly species.
