In C. elegans, the glutamate receptor GLR-1 functions in the nervous system to decode environmental stimuli and sensory experiences, and to regulate locomotion and the formation of long-term memory. C. elegans GLR-1 is homologous to mammalian glutamate receptors, and we can use this simple organism as a system to better understand the life cycle of human receptors (1). Because GLR-1 is a membrane protein, it is first assembled in the interior of a neuron, and then it is transported to the membrane at the surface of the cell so that it can receive chemical signals (glutamate) from the environment. Currently, …

Meeting demands for livestock products which are predicted to more than double during the next 20 years, is central to the challenge of feeding the world sustainably. Smallholders will play a key role in achieving global security in animal protein. However, this requires a shift from subsistence to market-oriented farming where production efficiency not the number of livestock is the key focus with the aim of producing ‘more from less’. For grassland-based ruminant production, reducing stocking rate from current unsustainable levels under subsistence management is an essential first step to producing more production and profit from fewer animals. This is …

Germplasm enrichment in major tropical grasses and their characterization for emerging environmental challenges have been major focussed area in the recent past. Breeding efforts in tropical grasses are still limited to few selected species viz. Panicum spp, Cenchrus spp, Pennisetum spp and Bracharia spp and all other grasses use of land races for varietal development through selection have been major source of improvement. The pace of breeding efforts in the tropical grasses have been slowed because of many inherent characteristics viz. apomixis, poor seed set, high photo and thermo sensitivity often creating problem in designing and implementing an effective breeding …
