The Influence of Microbial Communities on Spatiotemporal Elemental Cycling in Coastal Margins Revealed by Community- and Population-level Genomics and Proteomics

Creator:: Kieft, Brandon P.
Abstract:: Biotic and abiotic processes at continent-ocean interfaces cycle a disproportionate mass of carbon and nutrients relative to their global surface area, and microbial activity is a principal determinant of organic and inorganic matter flux in these transition zones. Most studies using modern high-throughput ‘omics techniques to link microorganisms with costal...

The Role of Algal Cellular Physiology on the Onset and Maintenance of a Model Cnidarian-Algal Symbiosis

Creator:: Maruyama, Shumpei
Abstract:: Coral reefs form vast ecosystems in tropical oceans that are hotspots for biodiversity and are economically valuable. The ecological success of coral reefs is made possible by the symbiotic relationship between corals and dinoflagellate algae from the family Symbiodiniaceae. In this symbiosis, the algae are found within host gastrodermal cells...

An Investigation into the Functional Properties of the Deafness Causing Protein Otoferlin

Creator:: Manchanda, Aayushi
Abstract:: Otoferlin is a C2-domain, transmembrane protein whose mutated form is responsible for the DFNB9 subtype of prelingual hearing impairment. Mutations in otoferlin cause an autosomal recessive, non-syndromic form of deafness that is characterized by auditory neuropathy/ auditory dissynchrony (AN/AD), meaning that the outer hair cells (OHCs) are normal, and the...

Multiple Stressors Drive Changes in Coral Microbiome Diversity and Composition Demonstrating the Role of a Bacterial Symbiont in Microbial Community Sensitivity and Resilience

Creator:: Maher, Rebecca L.
Abstract:: On coral reefs, disturbances rarely occur in isolation. Global stressors such as increasing seawater temperature often coincide with local stressors like nutrient pollution. In the face of increasing anthropogenic stress, corals can function as environmental sentinels, although little is known about how multiple stressors interact to disrupt their associated bacterial...

Host-Induced Gene Silencing in Black Cottonwood for Control of Septoria Canker: Efficacy and Non-Target Impacts

Creator:: Gordon, Michael I.
Abstract:: Septoria canker remains the most important disease of poplars in intensively managed forest plantations. Genetic resistance has long been considered the best way to manage for this disease. Transgenic resistance mediated by RNA silencing against pathogens and pests (HIGS: host-induced gene silencing) has shown promise in other pathosystems but has...

Investigating Transcriptional Control of Specialized Gene Expression in Plants

Creator:: Fraser, Valerie N.
Abstract:: Specialized or secondary metabolism is a collection of pathways and small molecules that, while beneficial to an organism, are not strictly necessary for survival. Plants use secondary metabolites to, among other things, attract pollinators, defend against biotic and abiotic stressors, and form symbioses. Natural products from plants have seen an...

Urea release from sulfur-coated urea and nitrogen utilization by tall fescue

Creator:: Pettygrove, G. Stuart
Abstract:: Sulfur-coated urea (SCU), a slow release nitrogen fertilizer, may be economically competitive with conventional fertilizers, but little is known of the mechanism of urea release from SCU and the environmental factors which affect the urea release rate. Objectives of this thesis were: (1) to determine factors which affect the rate...

Systematics and ecology of chubs (Gila : Cyprinidae) of the Alvord Basin, Oregon and Nevada

Creator:: Williams, Jack Edward
Abstract:: Seventeen populations of Gila Baird and Girard are identified from the Alvord Basin of southeastern Oregon and northwestern Nevada. Gila in the Alvord Basin occupy a wide range of habitats, including warm springs, cool springs, creeks, reservoirs, and a thermal lake. These populations became isolated in remnant habitats when waters...

Statistical analysis of RNA sequencing count data

Creator:: Mi, Gu
Abstract:: RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) has rapidly become the de facto technique in transcriptome studies. However, established statistical methods for analyzing experimental and observational microarray studies need to be revised or completely re-invented to accommodate RNA-Seq data's unique characteristics. In this dissertation, we focus on statistical analyses performed at two particular stages in...
