The lack of first-hand experience or knowledge about
farming in the general population of the United States is a
concern among scientists as many current environmental
issues are strongly linked to agriculture. Developing
agricultural literacy and an appreciation for our dependance
on limited resources is important for preparing future
generations...
In an effort to understand the basis for sulfite detoxification in S. cerevisiae,
the functions of two genes were analyzed. SSU1, which encodes a plasma membrane
protein, was found to be required for efficient sulfite efflux. FZFl-4, a dominant
allele of a transcriptional activator of SSUl, was also found to...
Size and color are important visual quantity attributes of the fruit of strawberry (Fmgaria x ananassa Duch.). Strawberry cultivars produce fruit of a characteristic size and color, the later being the result of accumulation of particular anthocyanins. This research sought to determine the basis for genotypic differences in fruit size...
A controversy regarding literacy lies at the heart of debates over the

This study explored lesbian identity development and the relationship between
Oregon State University campus climate as reported by 35 lesbian students. Identity
development was measured by using Cass's (1984b) Stage Allocation Measure (SAM)
which is a self-select tool for determining stage of lesbian identity development. The
SAM was then used...
The Mx protein family of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was characterized at the molecular level. With primers derived from a partial sequence of Perch (Perca fluviatis) Mx genomic DNA, a partial rainbow trout Mx genomic DNA sequence was obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. All salmonid fish investigated contained...
