Creator:: Watkins, Ann J.
Abstract:: Limnanthes alba, commonly known as meadowfoam is a popular commercial crop because its seed oil is composed of long carbon chains that provide it with high oxidative stability and consequently make it a desirable ingredient in cosmetic products. As a commercial pollinator, the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, may be...

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....

Vegetative effects of RNAi-suppression of the poplar homolog of LEAFY in the field

Creator:: Jacobson, Jeremy
Abstract:: Due to public and regulatory restrictions, genetic containment technology is critical for research and development of transgenic trees in forestry. A multi-year field trial demonstrated that the RNAi-LFY construct successfully induces sexual sterility in 6K10 poplar (Populus alba) without visible effects on vegetative development. However, its limited number of replicates...

Enzyme-Mediated Conversion of Glucolimnanthin to Bioherbicidal Breakdown Products

Creator:: Bratton, Daniel
Abstract:: The oilseed crop Limnanthes alba (white meadowfoam) is grown in Oregon. Methods were developed for the production of a liquid-based bioherbicide from meadowfoam seed meal (MSM). It was determined that glucosinolate-containing extracts of MSM can be combined with active-enzyme-containing liquid extracts of meadowfoam seed to form a fermented product rich...

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 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;...

Gender Stereotypes in Halloween Costumes

Creator:: Searles, Samantha A. P.
Abstract:: Previous research has shown that gender stereotypes are present in advertisements and in popular culture items. We conducted a content analysis of Halloween costumes to examine the presence of gender stereotypes in the poses of the models, weapons, and costume role (e.g. hero, counter authority, mythical creature, royalty). A sample...
