  • The Gut Microbiome Drives Benzo[a]pyrene's Impact on Zebrafish Behavioral Development

    Creator:
    Sieler, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a common environmental pollutant produced from the incomplete combustion of organic matter, such as fossil fuel emissions. In vertebrates, B[a]P exposure is associated with hyperactivity, though the underlying mechanisms driving this effect are undescribed. Mounting evidence indicates that the gut microbiome, which is the diverse community of...

  • Mutagenic Analysis of Victorin Sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana and Avena sativa

    Creator:
    Seshadri, Rishi S.
    Abstract:
    The fungal pathogen Cochliobolus victoriae, the causal agent of Victoria blight, produces a host-selective pathogenicity factor called victorin. In Arabidopsis thaliana, a dominant gene called "supersense" (SSN) confers constitutive victorin sensitivity at very low concentrations. SSN encodes a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (NB-LRR) protein. In the SSN-carrying Heiligkreuztal 2 ecotype (TAIR Germplasm...
