TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to measure the mRNAs for the four estrogen receptor isoforms in the liver and ovary of adult, female rainbow trout over the course of an annual reproductive cycle and to provide important insights into the unique function and importance of each.

TL;DR: Pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants were transformed in planta by injection/electroporation of axillary meristems with a chimeric pea enation mosaic virus (PEMV) coat protein gene contruct to show delayed or transient PEMV multiplication and attenuated symptoms as compated to control inoculated individuals.

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to characterize a putative sex-determining gene (“sexually dimorphic on the Y-chromosome” [sdY] gene) in Chinook Salmon and develop a method to test genomic DNA (gDNA) samples for genetic sex assignment.

TL;DR: The molecular pathways in embryonic vertebrates leading to gonad formation in each sex are incompletely understood as discussed by the authors, and the purpose of this study was to identify novel genes that could be associated with these pathways.

TL;DR: Comparisons of the binding affinity of the natural ligand estradiol-17β to the four rainbow trout ER isoforms with that of three known environmental estrogens suggest that bisphenol A binds less strongly to all four receptors, 17α-ethinylestradiol binds more strongly, and raloxifene has a high affinity for the α subtype only.
