Error Propagation in Sap Flow Measurements Using the Heat Ratio Method

Creator:: Miller, Jackson T.
Abstract:: Accurate estimation of the amount of water used by trees is important for a variety of agricultural applications. There are several current methodologies for measuring sap flow and water use in trees, however the heat ratio method has been identified as the ideal due to its ability to measure low...

Metagenomics and metatranscriptomics of the leaf- and root-associated microbiomes of Zostera marina and Zostera japonica

Creator:: Wojahn, John Michael Adrian
Abstract:: A great deal of research has been focused on the microbiomes of terrestrial angiosperms (flowering plants), but much less research has been performed on the microbiomes of aquatic angiosperms (Turner et al. 2013). Eelgrass beds are extremely productive ecosystems that provide habitat for many marine organisms, such as fish, shellfish,...

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....

Geographic variation in the seed mycobiome of Coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii)

Creator:: Bergmann, Gillian E.
Abstract:: Seeds are an essential component of plant life histories, and seed endophytes have the potential to influence germination, seedling establishment and development. That said, seed endophytes are a relatively new area of study, both in the factors that influence which taxa are present and how these microbes alter plant function....

Genotyping Cytochrome P450 1B1*3(Phase I) and Glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 null (Phase II), Metabolizing Enzymes in a [14C]Benzo[a]pyrene Human Micro Dosing Study

Creator:: Luo, Yun L.
Abstract:: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been studied for their carcinogenic toxicity. PAHs are formed by incomplete carbon combustion. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is an IARC classified Class 1 Human carcinogenic PAH. New studies are conducted to gain a better understanding of PAHs and how to reduce exposure. Glutathione S-transferase M 1 (GSTM1...

Relationship between parasite load and diet quality in two desert bighorn sheep metapopulations in southern California

Creator:: Gibson, Sarah
Abstract:: The increased severity of unseasonal drought conditions in the American Southwest have resulted in herbivorous species, like the desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni), receiving lower quality forage in their diet at less reliable frequency. The Mojave Desert and the Peninsular Mountain ranges also contain large variations in elevation, which...

Development of Simple, Rapid, and Sensitive qPCR Assay for the Detection of Pseudocapillaria tomentosa in Danio rerio Tissue Samples

Creator:: Ramras, Monique A.
Abstract:: Pseudocapillaria tomentosa is a nematode that parasitizes Danio rerio, causing major disease that affects the economic commodities of fish industries and destroys experimental results at research facilities. There is a critical need for a rapid and sensitive diagnostic assay to test for P. tomentosa in D. rerio populations. PCR primers...

New Strategies to Develop Hidden Markov Models Combining KEGG and Pfam

Creator:: Gupta, Sonica
Abstract:: Profile Hidden Markov Models utilize the information stored in a multiple sequence alignment such as its residues and conserved regions to assign probabilities at each column. This indicates areas in the sequences where similar functionality is observed. These probability weights are then combined to assign a sequence score, which is...

A Holistic Model: A risk assessment model for internal conflict and case study of the Democratic Republic of Congo

Creator:: Gharib, Camron I.
Abstract:: Internal conflicts are detrimental to a country’s development for a number of reasons. Therefore, it is beneficial to identify the factors that lead to internal conflict. The three perspectives used to understand why internal conflicts occur are the systemic lens, the individualist perspective, and an interpretation that emphasizes the role...

Testing noninvasive methods for extracting DNA from degraded wildlife scat

Creator:: Tweten, Abigail R.
Abstract:: Genetic sampling is used in many wildlife fields to gather data on populations or individuals. In noninvasive genetic sampling, animals do not need to be captured. DNA can be gathered from hair, scat, or other residue shed into the environment. However, this can result in degraded DNA, so it is...
