Evolutionary Instability Of Genomic Mutation Rate In Rapidly Adapting Asexual Mutator Escherichia Coli Populations
… higher mutation rates (mutators) can fix in asexual populations through a process called ‘mutator hitchhiking’. Theory predicts that repeated mutator hitchhiking can occur in an adapting asexual mutator population. I tested this prediction in two settings: a mutL- population under lethal …

Bases fisiológicas y moleculares de la reproducción sexual y asexual en el gametofito de helechos
… para estudios de reproducción tanto sexual como asexual. La expresión sexual en plantas tiene un gran interés por importantes razones económicas ya que, por ejemplo, los fenotipos sexuales de especies de cosecha dictan cómo se mejoran y cultivan las especies. Estudios recientes sobre los …

Functional Characterization of Serine Hydrolases Mediating Lipid Metabolism and Protein Depalmitoylation in Asexual Stage Plasmodium Falciparum
… to identify SHs important for the pathogenic asexual stage growth of P. falciparum parasites. We mainly focused on a depalmitoylase essential for merozoite invasion and lysophospholipases (LPLs) essential for acquiring fatty acids (FAs) from the host. Identifying essential metabolic enzymes …

The effects of heavy metals on the asexual reproduction of the annelid Aeolosoma headleyi Beddard (1888)
… to determine the effects of heavy metals on asexual reproduction. Bioassays were conducted with the chloride and sulfate salts of zinc, copper, cadmium, cobalt, and nickel. Additionally, chromium, as potassium dichromate, was tested. Of these metals, only two, zinc chloride and copper …

The Role That Asexual Reproduction Plays in the Regeneration of Tropical Piper Shrubs: Habitat Differences and Genetic Consequences
Asexual reproduction is a common, but little explored characteristic of many tropical plants with a variety of life-histories and habitat requirements. My dissertation research examined the ecological correlates and population genetic consequences of asexual reproductive success in five …

Examining the personal and societal factors that inform the development of an asexual identity: a qualitative and quantitative enquiry
… need for research to fully uncover the nature of asexuality and the experiences of asexual people. The asexual community, allies and researchers alike, are becoming increasingly concerned with discovering the processes that surround asexual identity development and in doing so, gain a more nuanced …

Propagacion sexual y asexual de las especies Verbesina crassiramea y Montanoa quadrangularis con fines de restauración en el bosque andino Las Mercedes
… con arena 1:1 y turba. Para la reproducción asexual por medio de estacas, se evaluó la parte del árbol de donde fue tomada la muestra y se emplearon diferentes concentraciones de auxinas: 1500 ppm, 3000 ppm, 6000 ppm y 0 ppm. Aunque la reproducción asexual de las especies no generó los …

Genomic evidence of long-term asexuality at the northern range limit of wetland plant, Decodon verticillatus (Lythraceae)
Many plant species shift from sexual to asexual reproduction at geographic range edges, but the impact of asexual reproduction on range expansion is largely unknown. If asexuality allows genotypes well-adapted to range edge conditions to persist long-term without recombination, this may allow plant …

Improvement of asexual propagation and Anisogramma anomala detection protocols to facilitate applied breeding of new Corylus avellana and C. americana x C. avellana germplasm
… layering techniques are the primary method for asexual propagation of Corylus selections during the breeding cycle. While effective, that technique is relatively archaic and yields of successful cuttings are low. Propagation by cuttings provides an alternative with a higher production potential; …

Clinical decision-making and client sexual orientation
Asexual clients anticipate negative interactions in therapy and fear being pathologized by their therapists (Flanagan & Peters, 2020; Foster & Scherrer, 2014); however, there is a dearth of information regarding the decisions therapists are making when working with asexual clients and how these …

Asexual Propagation of Four Cultivars of Vaccinium Corymbosum and Weed Management in an Established Orchard of Vaccinium Corymbosum 'Bluejay' (Highbush Blueberry) in South Central Kentucky
… at Western Kentucky University investigated asexual propagation of four commercially significant cultivars of Vaccinium corymbosum, highbush blueberry, 'Jersey', 'Elliot', 'Bluecrop', and 'Bluejay'. The study was a randomized complete block design with four replications. Cuttings were taken …

Making Something Out of Nothing: Asexuality and Narrative
<p>The existence of asexuality, the non-experience of sexual attraction, forces us to reconsider a great deal of received wisdom about sexuality, subjectivity, and narrative, which are all closely bound together in modernity. These discourses, whose interactions we find in distilled form in the …

Psychoanalysis and Asexuality: An Exploration of The Phenomenon and Implications for Therapeutic Work Using A Psychoanalytic Theoretical Framework
… an apparent rise in individuals who identify as Asexual. Asexuality has been defined as the lack of sexual attraction to anyone or anything. The current thesis explores this phenomenon from a psychoanalytic perspective and considers the possible implications for therapeutic work with Asexual …

Evolution of reproductive mode in the scaly-winged bark louse Echmepteryx hageni
… the relationship between genetic diversity and asexuality has received recent attention, the precise nature of this relationship is dependent on the physiological mechanism (e.g. automixis vs. apomixes) and the details of the origin (e.g. endosymbiont infection or hybridogenesis) of asexual …

Evolution of the brown algae Fucus radicans and F. vesiculosus in the Baltic Sea
… to the brackish water conditions by evolving asexual reproduction and faster growth in low compared to high salinity. Noticeably, Fucus radicans was more extremely adapted than the Baltic Sea population of F. vesiculosus, which may be due to its endemism and lack of gene flow from populations …
