The toxic actions of pyrrolizidine (Senecio) alkaloids

EK McLEAN - Pharmacological reviews, 1970 - ASPET
The pyrrolizidine alkaloids give rise to a large number of toxic effects, many of them apparently
unconnected with each other. They were for a long time regarded principally as liver …

[HTML][HTML] Climate-adjusted provenancing: a strategy for climate-resilient ecological restoration

SM Prober, M Byrne, EH McLean, DA Steane… - Frontiers in Ecology …, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Investments in ecological restoration are estimated at $ US 2 trillion per annum worldwide
and are increasing rapidly (Cunningham, 2008; Williams et al., 2014). These investments are …

Plasticity of functional traits varies clinally along a rainfall gradient in Eucalyptus tricarpa

EH McLean, SM Prober, WD Stock… - Plant, cell & …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Widespread species often occur across a range of climatic conditions, through a combination
of local genetic adaptations and phenotypic plasticity. Species with greater phenotypic …

Genome‐wide scans detect adaptation to aridity in a widespread forest tree species

DA Steane, BM Potts, E McLean, SM Prober… - Molecular …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Patterns of adaptive variation within plant species are best studied through common garden
experiments, but these are costly and time‐consuming, especially for trees that have long …

Instant cirrhosis: an improved method for producing cirrhosis of the liver in rats by simultaneous administration of carbon tetrachloride and phenobarbitone

EK McLean, AEM McLean… - British journal of …, 1969 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
… We have shown that the acute toxicity of CC14 is dependent upon its metabolism by
microsomal hydroxylating enzyme systems of the liver, and toxicity is therefore enhanced by …

Soybean SAT1 (Symbiotic Ammonium Transporter 1) encodes a bHLH transcription factor involved in nodule growth and NH4+ transport

…, EE Fedorova, M Okamoto, E McLean… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
Glycine max symbiotic ammonium transporter 1 was first documented as a putative ammonium
(NH 4 + ) channel localized to the symbiosome membrane of soybean root nodules. We …

The effect of diet and 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) on microsomal hydroxylating enzymes and on sensitivity of rats to carbon tetrachloride …

AEM McLean, EK McLean - Biochemical Journal, 1966 - portlandpress.com
1. Protein-depleted rats are resistant to the lethal effects of carbon tetrachloride. The LD(50)
is 6.4ml./kg. in stock rats and 14.7ml./kg. in rats fed on protein-free diets. 2. Protein-depleted …

Wait or escape? Contrasting submergence tolerance strategies of Rorippa amphibia, Rorippa sylvestris and their hybrid

M Akman, AV Bhikharie, EH McLean… - Annals of …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Background and Aims Differential responses of closely related species to submergence can
provide insight into the evolution and mechanisms of submergence tolerance. Several traits …

Root hydraulic conductance and aquaporin abundance respond rapidly to partial root‐zone drying events in a riparian Melaleuca species

EH McLean, M Ludwig, PF Grierson - New Phytologist, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
• Drying a portion of a root system (partial root‐zone drying (PRD)) can induce partial
stomatal closure, but this response is not always observed. We hypothesized that some of the …

Climate adaptation and ecological restoration in eucalypts

…, AA Hoffmann, R Jordan, EH McLean… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - CSIRO Publishing
Eucalypts are the cornerstone of ecological restoration efforts across the highly modified
agricultural landscapes of southern Australia. ‘Local provenancing’ is the established strategy …
