Informing Marine Protected Area Designation and Management for Nesting Olive Ridley Sea Turtles Using Satellite Tracking

Understanding the horizontal and vertical habitat of olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea), a threatened species, is critical for determining regions for protection and relevant gear modifications that may effectively reduce bycatch, the largest threat to this species.Satellite transmitters were used to determine the movement and dive be

Pectin methylesterase 31 is transcriptionally repressed by ABI5 to negatively regulate ABA-mediated inhibition of seed germination

Pectin methylesterase (PME), a family of enzymes that catalyze the demethylation of pectin, influences seed germination.Phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits seed germination.However, little is known about the function of PMEs in response to ABA-mediated seed germination.In this study, we found the role of PME31 in response to ABA-mediated inhi
