  • Expression Properties of Two Promoters During Callus and Shoot Development in Transgenic Poplar

    Creator:
    Brousseau, Anna G.
    Abstract:
    The Arabidopsis thaliana developmental promoters of WUSCHEL (WUS) and COLD SHOCK DOMAIN PROTEIN 3 (CSP3) were tested for their suitability as potential control elements for the Cre-Lox recombination system in poplar cells. To remove the integrated transgene after CRISPR machinery has modified the genome, timely control of Cre is required....

  • Biological considerations for a new approach to regulating genetically modified crops in the United States

    Creator:
    McDonough, Ashley
    Abstract:
    The debate over GM crops is one of the most controversial issues of recent decades. The debate has many dimensions, including environmental impacts, benefits and risks to human health, intellectual property rights, adequacy of biosafety regulations, and fundamental ethical acceptability. The potential benefits of GM crops are numerous, including improved...

  • Ethical Considerations of Transgenic Biotechnology as a Tool to Address Global Food Insecurity : Implementation and Regulation in Developing Countries

    Creator:
    Stepper, Shelby Ann
    Abstract:
    Transgenic biotechnology holds enormous potential as a tool to address global food insecurity. Transgenic food crops have been shown to increase food availability and food system security by incorporating disease, pesticide and drought resistance. Production costs of transgenic crops are lower due to the reduced need for costly pesticides and...

  • A Comparative Study of Chinese and American Musical Traditions

    Creator:
    Fine, Sarah
    Abstract:
    Music is a global tradition. Different cultures around the word have different musical traditions and histories, but all people create music for the same reason: the love of music and expressing oneself. In the spring of 2011, the Oregon State University Music Department entered into a cultural exchange program with...

  • A Novel Elysium

    Creator:
    Anderson, Evan Crichton
    Abstract:
    As a metafictional work of science fiction literature, A Novel Elysium explores the timelessness of both the human mind and its literary surroundings, comparing the self-awareness of its characters to the sometimes tragic or empowering metaphysical realizations of human beings. Within this framework, any concrete place or time is unimportant;...

  • EBB1, an AP2/ERF Transcription Factor, Promotes Transgenic Shoot Development in Populus

    Creator:
    Ree, Joseph
    Abstract:
    Recalcitrance to transformation makes genetic engineering of many valuable plants infeasible for practical use. Transitory host modification during transformation using transgenes offers a possible means of overcoming this obstacle. In prior work in our laboratory, the genes GA20ox7 and EBB1 were found to increase regeneration in vitro. In this project,...

  • A Metabolomics Driven Investigation of Polyamine Metabolism During Adipogenesis

    Creator:
    Hughes, Taylor Neil
    Abstract:
    Obesity is achieved at the point where fat accumulation begins to exert deleterious effects on an organism. The human body accrues fat when there is an energy imbalance occurring, where caloric intake exceeds expenditure.Many anti-obesity drugs used in the past have had undesirable side effects, and currently there is a...

  • Xanthohumol derivatives improve insulin sensitivity in obese mice

    Creator:
    Hay, Joshua
    Abstract:
    Metabolic syndrome, characterized by a collection of risk factors including abdominal obesity, insulin insensitivity, elevated plasma triglycerides, hypertension and low plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), is a major contributing factor to the development of cardiovascular diseases and type II diabetes (T2D). Xanthohumol (XN), a flavonoid isolated from Humulus lupulus cones, has...

  • Effects of Xanthohumol on Biomarkers of Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Rats

    Creator:
    Moreno Luna, Arlyn Y.
    Abstract:
    Flavonoids are a large family of compounds synthesized by plants that have a common chemical structure. It is believed that the health effects of fruits and vegetables are primarily due to dietary flavonoids content. Current research indicates that dietary flavonoids show promise for mitigating and/or preventing chronic conditions associated with...
