Genetic factors in hypertension

TL;DR: The current status of hypertension and blood pressure gene mapping strategies are described, the key evidence for rare and common variants in the causation of hypertension are summarised and intermediate phenotypes and pharmacogenetics are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Broad-sense heritability and genetic gain for powdery mildew resistance in multiple pseudo-F2 populations of flowering dogwoods (Cornus florida L.)

TL;DR: Using these parental lines and understanding the gene flow of resistance to powdery mildew in dogwoods will help researchers to develop a targeted breeding approach in generating new generation of resistant cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diseases determined by major genes.

TL;DR: Tharae rise of genetic epidemiology, its development from inspection of data to analysis of major loci, applications to recurrence risks, and the countercurrent of ideological opposition are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Foraging Relationships Between Elephants and Lantana camara Invasion in Mudumalai Tiger Reserve, India

TL;DR: Lantana camara appears capable of modifying feeding rates of elephants, likely through a loss of grass areas due to L. camara invasion, and experimental work is needed to test for causal relationships among the variables, to enhance the understanding of how invasive weeds modify elephant behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional genomics of parental care of insects

TL;DR: It is argued that natural selection appears to be rewiring existing gene networks to produce parental care, that the epigenetic mechanisms influencing parental care are not well understood, and, as an interesting early consensus, that genes strongly associated with carer/offspring interactions appear biased towards proteins that are secreted.
