The role of innate immunity in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

Creator:: Poole, Angela Z.
Abstract:: Cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones serve as hosts to a variety of organisms including symbiotic dinoflagellates, bacteria, virus, and apicomplexans. As corals are vital to the health and productivity of the reef ecosystem it is important to understand how these organisms interact with each component of the holobiont....

Perceptions on Spalted Wood: The Influence of Historic Spalting Patterns and Valuation of Spalted Wood Around the World.

Creator:: Vega Gutiérrez, Patricia T.
Abstract:: During the 1400s – 1600s, spalted wood was an expensive commodity used in marquetry style artworks across primarily Germany and Italy. It fell out of favor during the Industrial Revolution, but is currently experiencing resurgence in popularity with US woodturners. How spalted wood is used, and what types of spalted...

Regulation of the Pantoea agglomerans type III secretion system by plant-exuded sugars

Creator:: Bacher, Daniel
Abstract:: Pantoea agglomerans pathovar betae (Pab) is a bacterium that causes galls on the roots of beet plants, resulting in reduced marketability of beet roots and crop loss. Pab uses a type III secretion system (T3SS) to infect and cause galls on beets. The T3SS is a molecular syringe-like structure that...

Genome-enabled discovery and characterization of type III effector-encoding genes of plant symbiotic bacteria

Creator:: Kimbrel, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: Symbiosis is the close and protracted interaction between organisms. The molecular interactions that occur during symbiosis are complex with multiple barriers that must be overcome. Many Gram-negative, host-associated bacteria use a type III secretion system to mediate associations with their eukaryotic hosts. This secretion system is a specialized apparatus for...

Unraveling the endogenous functions of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and characterizing a novel long non-coding RNA (slincR) that contributes to AHR-mediated toxic responses in zebrafish

Creator:: Garcia, Gloria R.
Abstract:: The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand activated transcription factor that is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix PER-ARNT-SIM (bHLH/PAS) protein family of cellular sensors. The AHR is conserved across multiple animal phyla and is required for proper vertebrate development. A structurally diverse group of chemicals, including polycyclic aromatic...

Analyses of noncanonical DNA structures

Creator:: Khuu, Patricia A.
Abstract:: The structural polymorphic nature of DNA has been long been recognized since the model of the right-handed B-DNA duplex proposed by James Watson and Francis Crick was accepted. Its malleability is thought to be critical in protein recognition and manipulation. In particular, it can form Holliday junctions, four-way DNA structural...

Chlamydiae Enhance Self-Antigen Presentation in a Mechanism that is Dependent on Biosynthesis of Lipooligosaccharide

Creator:: Cram, Erik D.
Abstract:: Chlamydia is a genus of obligate intracellular bacteria that undergo a unique, biphasic developmental cycle. The infectious and metabolically inert Elementary Bodies (EBs) begin the cycle of infection by attaching and invading a host cells. Once inside, the EBs differentiate into the metabolically active, dividing Reticulate Bodies (RBs) within their...

Developmental toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : defining mechanisms with systems-based transcriptional profiling

Creator:: Goodale, Britton C.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in the environment as components of fossil fuels and by-products of combustion. Defining toxicity mechanisms for this large family of multi-ring structures and substituted derivatives is a substantial challenge. Several PAHs, such as benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), are mutagenic, toxic to wildlife, and classified as probable...

Towards Resolving Functional and Evolutionary Mysteries of the Large and Heterozygous Genome of Hop (Humulus lupulus) and the Cannabaceae Family Using Genomic Data Science

Creator:: Padgitt-Cobb, Lillian K.
Abstract:: Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var. lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with an extensive history of cultivation and use in brewing, as a textile, and for its therapeutic properties. Hop is prized for its ability to produce a variety of aromatic and flavor compounds, as well as compounds with anti-microbial...

Characterization of the pathogenicity and phylogeny of members of the Rhodococcus genus

Creator:: Creason, Allison L.
Abstract:: Plant pathogenic Rhodococcus species are persistent pathogens able to cause severe growth deformities on a large range of hosts. The most well studied species, R. fascians is predicted by current models to synthesize a mixture of cytokinins that act to directly perturb the hosts' hormone balances, which results in abnormal...
