DNA Double Strand Break Repair Is Important for the Longevity of Primed Seeds
1 Introduction Seed germination performance is central to agriculture and plant survival in the natural environment. High seed vigour, defined as rapid, uniform germination and robust seedling establishment, tolerant of adverse environmental conditions, is a major determinant of successful crop yields (Finch-Savage and Bassel 2016; Rehmani et al. 2023).
Cardiac neuromodulation with acute intermittent hypoxia in rats with spinal cord injury
Introduction Humans (and animals) with spinal cord injury (SCI) suffer from numerous physiological sequelae, including respiratory, metabolic and endocrine, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and urogenital dysfunction (Bauman & Spungen, 2000; Cardozo, 2007; Ebert, 2012; Hagen, 2015). Of these, cardiovascular complications are now one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in individuals with SCI (Cragg et al., 2013; DeVivo et al., 2022; Peterson et al., 2021).
