Quality of a fished resource: Assessing spatial and temporal dynamics. by Sarah J Teck, Julio Lorda, Nick T Shears, Tal Ben-Horin, Rebecca E Toseland, Sarah T Rathbone, Dave Rudie, Steven D Gaines

“…Understanding spatio-temporal variability in the demography of harvested species is essential to improve sustainability, especially if there is large geographic variation in demography. Reproductive patterns commonly vary spatially, which is particularly important for management of "roe"-based fisheries, since profits depend on both the number and reproductive condition of individuals. …”

Integrated Physiological, Transcriptomic, and Metabolomic Analysis Reveals Mechanism Underlying the <i>Serendipita indica</i>-Enhanced Drought Tolerance in Tea Plants by Gaojian Shen, Hongli Cao, Qin Zeng, Xiaoyu Guo, Huixin Shao, Huiyi Wang, Liyong Luo, Chuan Yue, Liang Zeng

“…Metabolome analysis showed that <i>S. indica</i> promoted the accumulation of flavonoid metabolites, including naringin, (-)-epiafzelechin, naringenin chalcone, and dihydromyricetin, while inhibiting the content of amino acids and derivatives, such as homoarginine, L-arginine, N6-acetyl-L-lysine, and N-palmitoylglycine, during water deficit. The expression patterns of <i>S. indica</i>-stimulated genes were investigated using transcriptome analysis. …”
