Effects of nickel toxicity on expression of genes associated with nickel resistance in white spruce (Picea glauca): Nickel translocation in plant tissues.
… screened. P. glauca was found to be a nickel avoider, as the bioaccumulation factor as well as translocation factors for roots to aerial tissues were less than 1.0. Expression of SAT, GR, ACC, NAS, Nramp, and AT2G16800 genes in roots and needles were investigated. Expression of ACC and NRAMP …

Applying molecular methods to investigate potential anthropogenic impacts on ageing in a free-living bat species
… a long-lived woodland specialist and urban avoider are consistent with anthropogenic stress exposure. In Chapter 2, DNA methylation at age associated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites was measured to develop and validate an epigenetic ageing model for M. bechsteinii. A CpG-based …
