Characterization of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from Oregon and Washington coastal water and development of improved methods for Vibrio parahaemolyticus detection

Creator:

Duan, Jingyun

Abstract:

Distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Oregon and Washington oystergrowing areas was studied between November 2002 and October 2003. V. parahaemolyticus was detected in 14.3% of oyster, 23.0% of seawater, and 44.4% of sediment samples with very low levels (≤7.4 MPN/g) of pathogenic strains being detected in oysters. Occurrence of V....

Enhancement of cold tolerance in tomato plants by genetic engineering of glycinebetaine biosynthesis

Creator:

Park, Eung-Jun

Abstract:

Tomato [Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.] plants are chilling sensitive and do not naturally accumulate glycinebetaine (GB), a metabolite that functions as a stress protectant in plants. While GB can increase tolerance of tomato plants to salt and drought stresses, its effect on chilling tolerance has not been examined. To evaluate whether...
