Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-Food Sources of Vitamin A More Effectively Inhibit Female Rat Sexual Maturation, Mammary Gland Development, and Mammary Carcinogenesis than Retinyl Palmitate
Shauntae M. McDaniel,Caitlin O'Neill,Richard P. Metz,Elizabeth Tarbutton,Maria Stacewicz-Sapuntzakis,Jerianne Heimendinger,Pamela Wolfe,Henry J. Thompson,Pepper Schedin +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the amount and source of vitamin A consumed by adolescent female rats can influence the onset of puberty, mammary gland alveolar development, and breast cancer risk and highlight the relevance of utilizing whole-food diets to evaluate the role of dietary factors in cancer prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent vitamin A intake alters susceptibility to mammary carcinogenesis in the Sprague-Dawley rat.
Richard P. Metz,Mark Kaeck,Maria Stacewicz-Sapuntzakis,Terry Mitrenga,Heidi McCarty,Pepper Schedin +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that vitamin A intake during adolescence alters mammary gland differentiation and indicate that a narrow range of vitamin A consumption during adolescence protects against carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome wide identification of QTL associated with yield and yield components in two popular wheat cultivars TAM 111 and TAM 112.
Yan Yang,Smit Dhakal,Chenggen Chu,Shichen Wang,Qingwu Xue,Jackie C. Rudd,Amir M. H. Ibrahim,Kirk E. Jessup,Jason A. Baker,Maria P. Fuentealba,Ravindra N. Devkota,Shannon Baker,Charles D. Johnson,Richard P. Metz,Shuyu Liu +14 more
TL;DR: The saturated genetic map and markers linked to significant QTL from this study will be very useful in developing high throughput genotyping markers for tracking the desirable haplotypes of these important yield-related traits in popular parental cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Pacific Biosciences de novo assembled genome dataset from a parthenogenetic New Zealand wild population of the longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann, 1901.
Felix D. Guerrero,Kylie G. Bendele,Noushin Ghaffari,Joseph Guhlin,Kristene Gedye,Kevin Lawrence,Peter K. Dearden,Thomas W. R. Harrop,Allen C. G. Heath,Yanni Lun,Richard P. Metz,Pete D. Teel,Adalberto A. Pérez de León,Patrick J. Biggs,W.E. Pomroy,Charles D. Johnson,Philip D. Blood,Stanley E. Bellgard,Daniel M. Tompkins +18 more
TL;DR: The longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, feeds upon a wide range of bird and mammalian hosts, and was the vector of a recent serious outbreak of oriental theileriosis in New Zealand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accurate Genomic Predictions for Chronic Wasting Disease in U.S. White-Tailed Deer.
Christopher M. Seabury,David L. Oldeschulte,Eric K. Bhattarai,Dhruti Legare,Pamela J. Ferro,Richard P. Metz,Charles D. Johnson,Mitchell A. Lockwood,Tracy A. Nichols +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that both differential susceptibility to CWD, and natural variation in disease progression, are moderately to highly heritable among farmed U.S. white-tailed deer, providing the necessary foundation for exploring a genomically-estimated CWD eradication program.
