description: Variable susceptibility pattern of Striga hermonthica populations from East and West Africa, to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. strigae (Fos) isolates, Foxy-2 and FK3. Study employed Striga phenotyping, genotyping with 22 SSR markers, DNA sequencing, and computational phylogenetics. Study revealed that genomic variation in Striga explained the variable susceptibility pattern of Foxy-2 and FK3, rather than sampling zones of the Striga

title: Radioprotective effect of ethanolic extract of <i>Alocasia indica</i> on γ-irradiation-induced reproductive alterations in ovary and uterus

description: Evaluation of the modulatory effect of ethanolic extract of <i>Alocasia indica</i> tuber (EEAIT) against γ-irradiation induced ovarian and uterine toxicity. Extract preparation was done by 80% hydro-ethanol using Soxhlet apparatus. EEAIT was administered to female Swiss albino mice (<i>n =</i> 5) daily (200 and 400 mg/kg body weight/d) for 7 days before γ-irradiation exposure (2.9 Gy). FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, cytokine levels, and oxidative stress parameters were measured after 24 hours of γ-irradiation. Histology, folliculogenesis, viability of granulosa cells, ROS measurement by flow cytometry, western blot of P450scc, P45017A1, 3β HSD and SF 1 were also performed. In addition, fertility status was assessed by fecundability and fecundity. The results showed that EEAIT exhibit a strong radioprotective activity by reducing the oxidative stress and thereby restored the ovarian and uterine alterations. EEAIT also improved the abnormality in follicle development, restored altered gonadal hormones and cytokines levels, increase the fertility status, reducing ROS level of granulosa cells with increasing granulosa cells viability and steroidogenic enzyme activity as compared to control. So EEAIT showed a radioprotective effect on γ-irradiation induced ovarian and uterine damage. Our results suggested that <i>Alocasia indica</i> tuber can be a potential radioprotector to prevent female infertility.

title: CYRI/ Fam49 Proteins Represent a New Class of Rac1 Interactors

description: Fam49 proteins, now referred to as CYRI (CYFIP-related Rac Interactor), are evolutionarily conserved across many phyla. Their closest relative by amino acid sequence is CYFIP, as both proteins contain a domain of unknown function DUF1394. We recently showed that CYRI and the DUF1394 can mediate binding to Rac1 and evidence is building to suggest that CYRI plays important roles in cell migration, chemotaxis and pathogen entry into cells. Here we discuss how CYRI proteins fit into the current framework of the control of actin dynamics by positive and negative feedback loops containing Rac1, the Scar/WAVE Complex, the Arp2/3 Complex and branched actin. We also provide data regarding the interaction between Rac1 and CYRI in an unbiassed mass spectrometry screen for interactors of an active mutant of Rac1.

title: Student participation in the development of interprofessional education courses: Perceptions and experiences of faculty members and the students

description: <b>Introduction:</b> Student participation has shown positive effects on the curriculum development process for a single health profession. This qualitative study explores faculty members’ and students’ perceptions and experiences regarding student participation in interprofessional course development. <b>Methods:</b> Interprofessional courses were developed and implemented by interprofessional teams of faculty members and students. Two focus group discussions were carried out: one with faculty members and one with students. <b>Results:</b> Students contributed to both the process and the results of interprofessional course development in a complementary manner. Student participation was facilitated via motivation for and through work on interprofessional education, a balance between clarity on tasks and students’ autonomy, and a low-hierarchy team atmosphere. Students developed professionally, and faculty members saw them as future ambassadors for interprofessional collaboration. <b>Conclusions:</b> This study provides multiple qualitative evidence for a positive, complementary role of student participation in interprofessional course development. A number of factors were identified that should be nurtured to facilitate this effect. Our findings may stimulate and guide other schools to actively involve students in the development of interprofessional education.

title: Writing skills development in an engineering geology course through practice and feedback on report submissions using a rubric

description: Technical writing skills are widely considered to be critical for geologists and engineers. Iterative practice with technical writing throughout the undergraduate curriculum represents a common mode by which students develop their skills. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of an iterative practice and feedback model in the context of a senior-level engineering geology class. Particular focus is paid to student performance improvement over the course of the semester and the factors that predict the efficacy of peer reviews in helping students to improve their reports. After validation of a report assessment rubric with students and TAs, students completed seven consulting-style technical reports covering seven different topics related to engineering geology. Quantitative data from rubric-based self- and peer assessments of draft reports and TA assessments of final reports were analyzed using regression to identify trends in technical writing performance. The increase in student writing performance beyond the first four reports was found to be limited. Students saw the greatest improvement in four specific rubric categories: transparency, completeness, style, and graphics. Although reviewer GPA was not found to be predictive of peer-review quality, reviewer performance on the assigned writing tasks was. Overall, this study finds that the iterative practice and feedback model is effective in promoting students’ technical writing skills, and that the quality of peer reviews provided on report drafts influences student skill development.

title: Dataset from When resistance is futile, tolerate instead: silicon promotes plant compensatory growth when attacked by above- and belowground herbivores

description: Plants have evolved numerous herbivore defences which are resistance- or tolerance-based. Resistance involves physical and chemical traits that deter and/or harm herbivores whereas tolerance minimizes fitness costs of herbivory, often via compensatory growth. The Poaceae frequently accumulate large amounts of silicon (Si) which can be used for herbivore resistance, including biomechanical and (indirectly) biochemical defences. To date, it is unclear whether Si improves tolerance of herbivory. Here we report how Si enabled a cereal (<i>Triticum aestivum</i>) to tolerate damage inflicted by above- and belowground herbivores. Leaf herbivory increased Si concentrations in the leaves by greater than 50% relative to herbivore-free plants, indicating it was an inducible defensive response. In plants without Si supplementation, leaf herbivory reduced shoot biomass by 52% and root herbivory reduced root biomass by 68%. Si supplementation, however, facilitated compensatory growth such that shoot losses were more than compensated for (+14% greater than herbivore-free plants) and root losses were minimized to −16%. Si supplementation did not improve plant resistance since Si did not enhance biomechanical resistance (i.e. force of fracture) or reduce leaf consumption and herbivore relative growth rates. We propose that Si-based defence operates in wheat via tolerance either in addition or as an alternative, to resistance-based defence.

The data are from experiments that investigated the role of first- and second-order motion cues to prey detection and depth perception during prey capture by mantises (<i>Sphodromantis lineola</i>) in different experiments as detailed in the paper. The data files detail the occurrence and number of behaviours (tracks, strikes and tensions) in response to different disparity and motion conditions.
