Larvae of the Pacific Oyster, Crassostrea gigas, at Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery (WCH) in Netarts Bay, Oregon, are negatively impacted by high-CO₂ water and exposure during the initial shell formation period appears to be particularly damaging. To investigate the mechanism of this early susceptibility, several cohorts of larvae at WCH...
The field performance of genetic containment technologies–considered important for
certain uses of transgenic trees in forestry–are poorly known. We tested the efficiency of a
barnase gene driven by the TA29 tapetum-dominant promoter for influencing growth rate and
inducing male-sterility in a field trial of transgenic hybrid poplar (Populus tremula x...
