Overexpression of antioxidant genes in transgenic tomato tolerant against multiple stresses

Creator:: Wang, Yueju
Abstract:: The effect of increased manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (cAPX) on various abiotic stresses was studied using transgenic tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants. Transformants were selected in vitro based on kanamycin resistance, confirmed by PCR and northern blot analyses. Northern blots showed an enhanced gene expression of Mn-SOD...

Sex differences in vertebral bone characteristic, loading patterns and the factor of risk in prepubertal children

Creator:: Fuller, Arwen A.
Abstract:: Sex differences in bone mass and size are thought to contribute to the greater incidence of vertebral fractures in women. While these sex differences are widely recognized, the relative contributions of bone mass, bone density, and bone size to the differences in vertebral strength and fracture risk between men and...

Legume grains (Phaseolus vulgaris and Pisum sativum) of the Pacific Northwest as an alternative broiler feedstuff

Creator:: Antoine, Sarah-Cate
Abstract:: Increasing commodity and fuel prices can be a deterrent to growing broilers in the Pacific Northwest. One of the most common protein components of the broiler ration is soybean meal derived from soybeans grown in the Midwestern United States. In an effort to reduce the reliance on this product, alternative...

Effects of disability awareness activities on acceptance and knowledge of secondary level students

Creator:: Frese, Erin
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a disability awareness unit implemented into secondary level physical education curricula, on acceptance and knowledge of students without disabilities. One hundred twelve students in the 7th and 8th grades participated in this study. Predetermined classes of students were randomly...

Sources of information, knowledged base, and knowledge needs of dry season vegetable production as identified by women farmers in Ngabu Agricultural Development Division, Malawi, Central Africa

Creator:: Kayuni, Frieda Lucy
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to identify the dry season vegetable production sources of information, technical knowledge base and needs of women farmers expressed by the women farmers themselves in Ngabu Agricultural Development Division, Malawi, Central Africa. The objectives were to identify the following aspects of dry season vegetable...

Early development of the endocrine system in salmonids : regulation of sex differentiation and ontogeny of the stress response

Creator:: Floyd, Donald J.
Abstract:: Sex steroids, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) were measured in monosex and mixed sex populations of rainbow trout during early development. Steroids declined following fertilization, increased at hatch, then fell and remained constant thereafter. Trends toward differences in steroids between males and females...

Evaluation of zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) as a model for carcinogenesis

Creator:: Tsai, Hsi-Wen
Abstract:: Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) are small, freshwater teleost fishes in the family Cyprinidae, the true minnows. They are native to the tropical latitudes of India, but have become widespread through their use as aquarium fish and as models for several branches of biological research. Their ease of rearing, short generation time,...

Interaction and behavior of the redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus) and the steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) in western Oregon : the influence of water temperature

Creator:: Reeves, Gordon H.
Abstract:: Water temperature influenced interactions between redside shiners and juvenile steelhead trout (≥1+) in the field and the laboratory. Distribution of the two species within various habitats was determined in three streams with different water temperature regimes. The range of habitats occupied by trout in allopatry at cool temperatures and at...

Contractile function and calpain activity in mouse skeletal muscle during hypoxia

Creator:: Hu, Hui
Abstract:: Calcium activated proteases, or calpains, are activated in cardiac muscles under conditions of ischemia/reperfusion and hypoxia. Their activity in skeletal muscle under similar conditions is poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that hypoxia elevates calpain-mediated proteolysis in isolated glycolytic (extensor digitorum longus, EDL) and oxidative (soleus, SOL) mouse muscles studied...

Influence of vine vigor and shading in Pinot noir (Vitis vinifera L.) on the concentration and composition of phenolic compounds in grapes and wine

Creator:: Cortell, Jessica M.
Abstract:: In 2003 and 2004 vigor zones were delineated in two commercial vineyard sites based on vine growth variation to assess fruit and wine phenolic chemistry. In 2004, the effects of shading on the accumulation of phenolic compounds were also investigated. Model extractions were done from the shading experiment and the...
