Use of sheep in the control of an invasive bunchgrass

Creator:: Scholz, Ryan
Abstract:: Studies were conducted to assess influencing the effectiveness of sheep for grazing control of false brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum) an invasive grass species. Orphan lambs were exposed to false brome via grass extract in their milk and naturally reared lambs were exposed by grazing dense stands of false brome with their...

Developing the Zebrafish (Danio rerio) As a Model to Evaluate the Toxicity of Chlorinated and Non-Chlorinated Solvents

Creator:: Wenning, Matthew
Abstract:: Chlorinated and non-chlorinated solvents are used in a variety of industrial processes and as a consequence, they have become environmental contaminants as well. Because of this, they lead to both occupational and environmental exposures. Exposure to these compounds can potentially result in various forms of neurological damage with a wide...

Degradation of Extracellular Matrix Proteins by Bovine Embryonic Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator

Creator:: Hansen, Lance
Abstract:: The bovine blastocyst is composed of a one-celled layer of trophectoderm surrounding a fluid filled sac called the blastocoel and a ball of cells called the inner cell mass (ICM). On Day 8 (Day 0=fertilization) in bovine embryos, endodermal cells leave the ICM, migrate over the extracellular matrix (ECM) on...

Barley genetics as a model for international collaborative research

Creator:: Osborn, Lauren A.
Abstract:: Collaboration is crucial when advancing in scientific research. One person cannot study all aspects of a system. That is why it is important for the scientific community to communicate with each other and stay updated on research being conducted in other labs around the world. In my research, I was...

“SeW: A Search for Selenosulfide Bonding” and “Severity of Damage Inflicted on Intercellular Disulfide Bonds as a Result of UV Radiation”

Creator:: Dutcher, Kendall
Abstract:: Part 1: White muscle disease (WMD), a degenerative muscle disease brought on by a deficiency of the essential trace nutrient selenium, is thought to be mediated by the protein Selenoprotein W (SeW). In its relationship with WMD, SeW, like many selenoproteins, binds to glutathione, serving some purpose in redox mechanisms...

Method development in in vitro immune response

Creator:: Huber, Jacob
Abstract:: The AhR is a ligand-activated transcription factor that mediates the potent immunosuppressive effects of TCDD. AhR-dependent changes in gene expression appear to alter the differentiation of CD4+ T cells to induce a population of CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells (Tregs) that suppress the immune response. Ascertaining if and how the AhR...

Characterization of a Sporulation-Specific Kinase in Clostridium perfringens

Creator:: Danielson, Bryan
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens type A isolates produce the spore-specific enterotoxin, CPE, upon sporulation in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. Spo0A is a response regulator representing the major transcription factor for sporulation initiation in C. perfringens. In Bacillus subtilis, a multicomponent phosphorelay involving five histidine kinases (KinA-KinE), the intermediate response...

Vernalization gene architecture as a predictor of growth habit in barley

Creator:: Heckart, Douglas
Abstract:: Winter hardiness in barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a trait targeted by breeding programs in order to expand the potential area of adaptation of fall-sown cereals. Vernalization requirement is an important factor in winter hardiness. A vernalization requirement is an extended period of low temperature required for transition from the vegetative...

Production and invasion of butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii) in Oregon

Creator:: Ream, Julie
Abstract:: Butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii), an ornamental native to China, is an invasive species in Oregon and many other areas. In Oregon, butterfly bush invades disturbed areas, particularly riparian areas. The Oregon nursery industry has the highest farm-gate value of all agricultural commodities and butterfly bush is a significant plant to...
