One fern-specific gene that we identified, recently shown to confer high insect resistance, seems to have been derived from bacteria through horizontal gene transfer. Here, we report on the genomes of Azolla filiculoides and Salvinia cucullata (Salviniales) and present evidence for episodic whole-genome duplication in ferns - one at the base of 'core leptosporangiates' and one specific to Azolla. These genomic resources will help in exploring the biotechnological potential of Azolla and address fundamental questions in the evolution of plant life.Ībstract = "Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes other than that they are generally colossal. Furthermore, the Azolla genome lacks genes that are common to arbuscular mycorrhizal and root nodule symbioses, and we identify several putative transporter genes specific to Azolla-cyanobacterial symbiosis. Azolla coexists in a unique symbiosis with N 2-fixing cyanobacteria, and we demonstrate a clear pattern of cospeciation between the two partners. “It's remarkable to have research that seeks to illuminate Indigenous women's power, as defined by Indigenous knowledge, be financially supported so generously.Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes other than that they are generally colossal. “It's important when Indigenous gender research, based on Indigenous methodologies for Indigenous peoples, is acknowledged and supported,” she says. It will infuse an analysis of Anishinaabe women’s contemporary power, or lack thereof, in a colonial, heteropatriachal, capitalist society. The narrative she generates will reveal Anishinaabeg worldview and interests, elucidate women’s relationship with the ecology of the sugar bush and maple sugar, illuminate the historical shifts created through various colonizing forces leading to transformations in women’s centrality at this place and in this economy, and contribute to transnational and borderlands literature. Her methods and sources include Anishinaabemowin (language) oral histories Elder and land-based practitioner knowledge lived experience working the sugar bush traditional Anishinaabeg stories and various archives about specific women and sugar bush work, production, and trade. She draws on multiple methods that are distinct yet interdependent their relationship to each other is accentuated when she weaves them together and in doing so they reveal a narrative of women as leads in sugar bush work. Sy’s research is notable for her utilization of Anishinaabe methodology. “It’s also about affirming and asserting our sovereignty in our lands, in our relationships with each other and within our ecological systems including spirit-all the pieces that inform our economic well-being.” It’s for Anishinaabeg it’s about generating knowledge that will benefit us, using our research methods,” Ms. “I locate my research in an Indigenist research agenda. Her decision to pursue graduate studies was prompted by her workplace experience. Sy was a counsellor for almost a decade after completing her undergraduate degree in psychology before deciding to return to academia. Sy, who was presented with the award at a luncheon on Januin Manhattan, New York, was honoured for her groundbreaking research into the economic history of Anishinaabe women’s sugar bush work in the Great Lakes Region in both Canada and the United States.Ī fitting choice for the award, Ms. This was the reaction of Waaseyaa’sin Christine Sy, a PhD Candidate in Indigenous Studies at Trent University and pre-doctoral dissertation fellow at Michigan State University, when she learned she had won the Catherine Prelinger Award – a prestigious $20,000 prize given annually by the Coordinating Council for Women in History in recognition of scholars who have taken non-traditional paths in their academic careers. That word commonly refers to a warrior call, but I use it as a shout-out to the spirits.” Once I was sure it was, I let out a zaasaakwe.
