Accounting for Genotype-by-Environment Interactions and Residual Genetic Variation in Genomic Selection for Water-Soluble Carbohydrate Concentration in Wheat
G3-GENES GENOMES GENETICS, 8(6), 1909–1919.
Contributors: B. Ovenden *, A. Milgate *, L. Wade *, G. Rebetzke * & J. Holland n
author keywords: Genomic Selection; residual genetic variation; genotype-by-environment interaction; factor analytic model; relative accuracy; GenPred; Shared Data Resources
MeSH headings : Breeding; Carbohydrates / analysis; Databases, Genetic; Gene-Environment Interaction; Genetic Variation; Genome, Plant; Genotype; Inheritance Patterns / genetics; Models, Genetic; Reproducibility of Results; Selection, Genetic; Solubility; Triticum / genetics; Water / chemistry
TL;DR:
This study evaluated the potential of genomic selection to predict water-soluble carbohydrate concentration (WSCC) in wheat under field conditions and found that GEBVs were not accurate predictors of genotypic values of the extant lines, but should be reliable selection criteria to choose parents for intermating to produce new populations.

The ecosystem services of animal microbiomes
MOLECULAR ECOLOGY, 27(8), 2164–2172.
Contributors: E. McKenney n, K. Koelle *, R. Dunn n & A. Yoder *
author keywords: ecosystem services; host-microbiome; microbial ecology; microbiome
MeSH headings : Biological Evolution; Ecology; Ecosystem; Host Microbial Interactions / genetics; Microbiota / genetics
TL;DR:
It is argued that ecosystem services are a useful framework with which to consider the value of microbes to their hosts, providing a context from which to develop new hypotheses and to evaluate microbial functions in future studies and novel systems.

The Lactobacillus Bile Salt Hydrolase Repertoire Reveals Niche-Specific Adaptation
MSPHERE, 3(3).
Ed(s): C. Ellermeier
author keywords: Lactobacillus; bile acid; bile salt hydrolase; gastrointestinal tract; niche; penicillin V acylase; probiotic; therapeutic
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Biological; Amidohydrolases / genetics; Genetic Variation; Genotype; Lactobacillus / classification; Lactobacillus / enzymology; Lactobacillus / genetics; Penicillin Amidase / genetics; Phylogeny; Sequence Homology
TL;DR:
The BSH repertoire across 170 sequenced species revealed that BSH-encoding lactobacilli primarily adopt the vertebrate-adapted lifestyle but not the environmental or plant-associated subsets, and will guide future mechanistic studies of BSH activity and contribute to the development and selection of Lactobacillus strains with therapeutic potential.

Mining for novel bacterial defence systems
Barrangou, R., & Oost, J. (2018, May). NATURE MICROBIOLOGY, Vol. 3, pp. 535–536.
MeSH headings : Bacteria; Genome, Bacterial
TL;DR:
Through the analysis of metagenomic dark matter, several novel defence systems were identified, some of which were engineered and characterized in vivo, showing that they provide resistance against viruses and plasmids.

Economics- and policy-driven organic carbon input enhancement dominates soil organic carbon accumulation in Chinese croplands
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 115(16), 4045–4050.
author keywords: soil organic carbon; Chinese cropland; crop residue management; carbon sequestration
MeSH headings : Agriculture / economics; Agriculture / methods; Agrochemicals / chemistry; Carbon / analysis; Carbon Sequestration; China; Composting; Conservation of Natural Resources / economics; Conservation of Natural Resources / legislation & jurisprudence; Conservation of Natural Resources / statistics & numerical data; Crops, Agricultural / chemistry; Farms; Human Activities; Humans; Organic Chemicals / analysis; Plant Dispersal; Plant Roots / chemistry; Plant Stems / chemistry; Plants / chemistry; Policy; Social Change; Soil / chemistry; Soil Microbiology
TL;DR:
The results indicate that cropland SOC sequestration can be achieved through effectively manipulating economic and policy incentives to farmers and offer some guidance for soil C management in many developing countries that are going through the similar economic and social transformations.

Development and use of a piggyBac-based jumpstarter system in Drosophila suzukii
ARCHIVES OF INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY, 97(3).
author keywords: germline transformation; Minos; mutagenesis; piggyBac; transgenesis
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Genetically Modified; DNA Transposable Elements; Drosophila / genetics; Genetic Engineering / methods; Mutagenesis; Transposases
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that there is a dramatic increase in transformation rates when germline transformation is performed in a transposase-expressing background, and it is shown that these jumpstarter strains could be used in conjunction with a piggyBac-based donor strain for genome-wide mutagenesis of D. suzukii.

Contributors: M. Leong*, R. Dunn n & M. Trautwein*
author keywords: luxury effect; biodiversity; socioeconomics; urban ecology
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Cities; Ecosystem; Humans; Plants; Socioeconomic Factors
TL;DR:
The ecological dynamics of cities are influenced not only by geophysical and biological factors, but also by aspects of human society, and a pattern of higher biodiversity in affluent neighbourhoods has been termed ‘the luxury effect'.

A case for comprehensive analyses demonstrated by evaluating the yield benefits of neonicotinoid seed treatment in maize (Zea mays L.)
CROP PROTECTION, 110, 171–182.
author keywords: Agronomic practice; Clothianidin; Corn; Decision tree analysis; Imidacloprid; PROC GLMSELECT; SAS enterprise miner work station; Thiamethoxam
TL;DR:
The contrast in these results highlights the need for future carefully designed studies that target to minimize inter- and intra-site variation; and include measurements of additional factors that may influence yield, such as seeding rate, tillage, and herbicide applications, as input variables that are largely lacking in current approaches on the subject.

The ecology of insect–yeast relationships and its relevance to human industry
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 285(1875), 20172733.
Contributors: A. Madden n, M. Epps*, T. Fukami *, R. Irwin n, J. Sheppard n, D. Sorger n, R. Dunn n
author keywords: diffuse mutualism; dispersal; Ascomycota
MeSH headings : Animals; Ascomycota / physiology; Biological Evolution; Ecosystem; Food Industry; Humans; Insecta / microbiology; Plant Nectar / metabolism; Symbiosis
TL;DR:
This work proposes a ‘dispersal–encounter hypothesis' whereby yeasts are dispersed by insects between ephemeral, spatially disparate sugar resources, and insects, in turn, obtain the benefits of an honest signal from yeasts for the sugar resources.
