Assessing wild barley germplasm in multiparent and advanced backcross populations for mapping, gene discovery, and improvement of malting barley
Wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum), the progenitor of cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare), is a rich source of genetic diversity. This diversity is not easily exploited due to challenges inherent in identifying and extracting beneficial alleles from widely unadapted …

Cholinergic Regulation of Circadian Rhythms in the SCN: Characterization of Signaling Mechanisms and the Role of Intracellular Calcium in the Directionality of Clock Resetting
This study shows that stimulus-specific intracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+i) release controls the direction of clock resetting. Direct activation of the InsP3-induced Ca2+ i release (IICR) mimics cholinergic phase advance, while InsP3 , but not ryanodine, receptor antagonists block it. In contrast, selective …
