Interactive effects of inbreeding and endocrine disruption on reproduction in a model laboratory fish
Inbreeding depression is expected to be more severe in stressful environments. However, the extent to which inbreeding affects the vulnerability of populations to environmental stressors, such as chemical exposure, remains unresolved. Here we report on the combined impacts of inbreeding and exposure to an endocrine disrupting chemical (the fungicide clotrimazole) on zebrafish (Danio rerio). We ...
متن کاملDisruption of amylase genes by RNA interference affects reproduction in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas.
Feeding strategies and digestive capacities can have important implications for variation in energetic pathways associated with ecological and economically important traits, such as growth or reproduction in bivalve species. Here, we investigated the role of amylase in the digestive processes of Crassostrea gigas, using in vivo RNA interference. This approach also allowed us to investigate the ...
متن کاملDefining the role of pollutants in the disruption of reproduction in wildlife.
Although chemical exposure has been associated with reduced reproduction in certain North American fish, reptiles, and mammals, definitive cause-and-effect data are lacking in many instances. Because the increasing use and global transport of industrial chemicals pose significant risk to successful reproduction, methods should be developed that can define the geographic extent and magnitude of ...

conditions throughout the test. The hens were provided nutrients to meet the needs of all the hens based upon compilation of the breeder recommendations. The eggs from these strains were collected every 28 days from the previous 24 hrs production. Once collected the quality and compositional properties of the eggs such as pH, solids, whipping height, Haugh units and angel food cakes were evalua...
متن کاملGene disruption in Salmonella typhimurim by modified λ Red disruption system
There are many techniques to knock out directed genes in bacteria, some of which have been described in Salmonella species. In this study, a combination of SOEing PCR method and the λ Red disruption system were used to disrupt phoP gene in wild type and standard strains of Salmonella typhimurium. Three standards PCR and one fusion PCR reactions were performed to construct a linear DNA including...
