Genetic variation of Renibacterium salmoninarum genes in infected salmonids

Creator:: Burnett, Jeffrey R.
Abstract:: Renibacterium salmoninarum is the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease in both wild and farmed salmonid species worldwide. The genome of this pathogen has significant synteny to the ubiquitous, soil-dwelling Arthrobacter spp. though it is 1.9 Mb smaller, suggesting that reductive evolution has occurred. Recently, our group finished sequencing and...

A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

Creator:: Esposito, Madison L.
Abstract:: Modifications of histone tail amino acid residues are necessary for many reactions involving chromatin. These processes can produce transcriptionally active, euchromatic, or inactive, heterochromatic, segments of DNA. The formation and maintenance of facultative heterochromatin is critical for the proper growth and development of many eukaryotes. Euchromatin can be changed into...

Testing the effectiveness of the λ insulator in hybrid poplar

Creator:: Feng, Mu
Abstract:: Genetic engineering techniques allow scientists to create plants with desired traits. However, there is unwanted variability in transgene expression due to enhancer-promoter interactions and the influence from genetic elements near the insertion site of the transgene, which integrates into a random location in the genome. In an attempt to reduce...

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...

Development of a Antibacterial Disc Diffusion Assay to Differentiate Fusarin C from Non-Fusarin C activity in Early Screening of Mutant Fusarium graminearum Extracts

Creator:: Svendsen, Molly, Luelling, Sarah, Adpressa, D., Godbey, Aly, Belizi, Peter, Carlson, Caleb, Loesgen, S., Freitag, M., Smith, Kristina, and Gautschi, Jeff
Abstract:: The discovery of novel compounds with antibacterial properties continues to be critically important.3 One potential source of such compounds is the cryptic genome of fungi known to produce biologically active molecules. A kmt6 mutant of the cereal pathogen Fusarium graminearum was previously developed through a histone H3 lysine 27 methyltransferase...

Characterizing the symbiotic interactions between Rhodococcus and plants

Creator:: Stevens, Danielle M.
Abstract:: Bacteria are critical to the health of eukaryotes and the ecosystems in which they persist. Some symbiotic interactions are mutualistic in which both microbe and host benefit from the partnership. Other interactions are parasitic, and the microbe typically benefits at a cost to the host. Rhodococcus is a genus of...

Development of a diagnostic assay for Phytophthora ramorum lineage detection

Creator:: Roig-Paul, Mireia
Abstract:: Phytophthora ramorum is the causal agent of Sudden Oak Death (SOD), which is an economically and environmentally important disease causing up to 80% mortality of tanoaks in Pacific Northwest coastal forests (LeBoldus et al., 2022). There are currently four clonal lineages in the United States and Europe, named North America...

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...

Developing a hemp dihaploid protocol

Creator:: Murphy, Sean K.
Abstract:: Cannabis production has gained popularity over the last 10 years. There is a growing demand for true-to-type grain, fiber, and resin crops. Breeding for homozygous trait development with traditional methods can take as long as 8 years. With dihaploid breeding, homozygosity can be achieved in 2 generations saving breeders time...
