Life Science Research; New Findings from University of Cordoba in Developmental Biology Provides New Insights (Hyphal chemotropism in fungal pathogenicity) Publication info: Life Science Weekly ; Atlanta [Atlanta]06 Sep 2016: 2066.

a quote from the research from the University of Cordoba "How fungi sense and process this chemical information to steer hyphal growth is poorly understood. Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Neurospora crassa have served as genetic models for the identification of cellular components functioning in chemotropism." ( Hey Alan I didn't no how to phrase that into our own wors properly without sounding like an idiot so ill leave that sentence to you)

A recent study in Fusarium oxysporum showed MAPK pathways governing hyphal growth towards nutrients, sex pharamones and signals from plants, suggesting unanticipated complexity of chemosensing during host and fungus interaction.

We could write something along the lines of:

"In the research done by the University of Cordoba on how fungi sense and process chemical information to steer hyphal growth, it is noted that the drivers of this response are poorly understood. Recent research has Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Neurospora crassa as genetic models for the identification of cellular components functioning in chemotropism."

I found this article that talks about how chemtropism is used by fungi in various ways as well as ideas on how it all works. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2728830/

From that article we could add:

The ability to orient the axis of growth of hyphae is vital to the physiology of fungal cells. The molecular machinery that regulates hypha orientation can be distinguished from induced polarised growth since mutants and growth conditions can be made so that the direction of the fungal hyphae is influenced without blocking their apical growth. This orientation seems to involve calcium signalling, GTPase signalling modules and protein complexes that influence the sites of actin recruitment and microtubule-tethering at the hyphal apex

original:

The ability to orient the axis of growth of hyphae is a vital aspect of the physiology of fungal cells. Recent work has demonstrated that the molecular machinery that regulates hypha orientation can be distinguished from that inducing polarised growth since mutants and growth conditions can be generated, in which the trajectory of fungal hyphae is influenced without blocking the ability of hyphae to undergo apical growth. This orientation apparatus apparently involves calcium signalling, GTPase signalling modules and protein complexes that orchestrate sites of actin recruitment and microtubule-tethering at the hyphal apex. These components orchestrate the growth, morphogenesis and various lifestyles of filamentous fungi.

Hi Emily, I was told to review your article so I guess I'm supposed to put it here so you can read it? IDK. Anyway the information you put up is good however as you already know you need the citings. I know its a pain to add them in properly but I remember some kind of tutorial being in the site to show you. Also one way you might be able to tell if a site is more reliable is if it's .gov or .edu. that usually means its run through the government or an educational establishment which is usually more strict about correct information. also if you can find references on the site in regards to any academic journals or research from universities (the encyclopedia is usually good but may not be up to date.) Finally as to your concern about adding more on carl linneaus, I'd so go ahead and add more about him. just because he has his own page doesn't mean everyone will know the connection. a reference to him would be a good idea along with a little information and will help fill out the information.

PEER REVIEW:

3/18/18

By Ken

( I am numbering the sections of my peer review so you know which sections I am referring to in the peer review assignment.)

Hi Shane and Alan,

First of all, can you add a link you to your article? it would be easier to navigate to and make it easier for you to navigate to the page itself.

1.Having examined the article, it could use a moderate size contribution and a bit more than what you have in terms of adding in a picture or two and a small explanation. wit h one or two section headers and some examples of different plant species and how they differ in terms of chemotropism

2. Next, It seems like you have a good contribution in your own words, however it seems like you need help with adding citations. These can easily be added by going into the edit sandbox and then the Large cite button in the middle of the screen. Then the correct format would be to cite your source at the end of what you are contributing. The wiki takes care of the rest and leave them formatted and numbered at the bottom. You have a part of what is needed for the article but could use a bit more to what you are adding. As well as adding citations to the end of what you are adding as I had stated earlier how to do. Overall its a strong contribution that has some good examples and a bit more depth to the article, just needs a picture or two, and to add some sections to it.

3. So as far as advice goes, your article is a bit stubby so you could try adding some sections to it so its more organized as Adding a Process section, and a few examples of chemotropism from 2-3 different plant species would help readers understand the differences and similarities of different plant species chemotropism.

Another Peer Review?

Hi Shane and Alan,

I am super confused because I was told to review your article, but apparently somebody already did?

Anyways, my biggest suggestion is to work on the organization of your article. By splitting it into sections and forming headers, it not only will flow more easily, but may also help you to add additional information (I like the above idea about a Process section, and sections for similarities and differences of species). Also, as the person above said, your citation's could use some work. Make sure that you cite your sources, even if you put information into your own words. Paraphrasing without citation is still plagiarism. Overall, great additional information though, and good start. go

RESPONSE TO PEER REVIEW:

By Ken,

Hi again Alan and Shane,

Thank you for critiquing my contribution to my article. I had not noticed that Beach Starvation was even mentioned in this article.

As well as the article not talking about any of the impacts that land reclamation has on the environment at all.

I will add that to my article when I get the chance and appreciate the helpful advice.

( I am also posting this on my sandbox as the response to the peer review is a part of the assignment)

'''Chemotropic guidance of developing axons in the mammalian central nervous system.

Axon guidance depends partly on the recognition of cell-surface and extracellular matrix cues derived from cells along the pathways. It has also been proposed that neuronal growth cones are guided by gradients of chemoattractant molecules emanating from their intermediate or final cellular targets. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3205306 (Alan, just gonna let you read the article to see if it's something you wanna add seems almost like theory than fact unless I'm misreading)

I'm reviewing the article bioinformatics workflow management system. it seems to have a basic explanation but doesn't really give a good understanding of what it is. its missing more content and could use examples of the graphs or models it speaks of along with sources from which theve pulled the information.

Biomedical potential of chitin and chitosan based PU materials

Chitin and chitosan have a wide range of uses in the biomedical field ranging from: wound healing and dressings, antibacterial covering, drug delivery systems, tissue engineering scaffolding, membrane separation and stent coating. the NHCOCH3 in chitin resembles the peptide bonds in proteins therefore the incorporation of chitin and chitosan increases the biocompatibility and reduce cytotoxicity of the material.

____________________ peer review by Shannon

HI Shane, I think the contribution is good overall but could use some citations, you have a lot of information here. Also check the grammar and acronyms you have some words that should be capitalized but aren't or that you use acronyms for that aren't spelled out prior to the acronym. being used (PU)

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

I will do what you said --- peer reviewed by Hallie hi Shane I peer reviewed your article but I forgot to save it! as Shannon said your article is very good, I think just adding a few more citations would be great! and I like how you have it set up, it goes very smoothly through it.
