Grafting vigour is associated with DNA de-methylation in eggplant.
In horticulture, grafting is a popular technique used to combine positive traits from two different plants. This is achieved by joining the plant top part (scion) onto a rootstock which contains the stem and roots. Rootstocks...

Towards a Biomarker of Motor Adaptation
We propose an experimental protocol for the integrated study of motor adaptation during target-based movements. We investigated how motor adaptation affects both cerebral activity and motor performance during the preparation and...

Pre-binding prior to full engagement improves loading conditions for front-row players in contested rugby union scrums
We investigated the effect of a ‘PreBind’ engagement protocol on the biomechanics of contested Rugby Union scrummaging at different playing levels. ‘PreBind’ requires front-row props to take a bind on opposing players prior to...
