Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions in a Cnidarian Model System

Creator:: Gregory, Dylan B.
Abstract:: The symbiotic sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (Aiptasia) is a model organism used to better understand cnidarian-algal symbiosis and coral bleaching (dysbiosis). Many biological processes are hypothesized to be involved in coral dysbiosis, and the innate immunity is a key area of interest. Rab proteins are small proteins with GTPase domains,...

The effect of animal size on the carbonic anhydrase activity of the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima

Creator:: Tep, Allison P.
Abstract:: The sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima is a model organism for the study of temperate symbiosis. Anthopleura elegantissima can engage in symbiosis with two different algal symbionts: the dinoflagellate Breviolum muscatinei and the chlorophyte Elliptochloris marina. One host enzyme that has been shown to be important in cnidarian-algal symbioses is carbonic...

Population structure and genetic variation in the Hawaiian Opakapaka (Pristipomoides filamentosus): Evidence of a genetic bottleneck in offspring of a captive broodstock

Creator:: Meltvedt, Ariana
Abstract:: The Hawaiian Archipelago is a biologically diverse environment with dynamic interactions between human and biological populations. Political, social, and scientific communities are placing importance on sustainable management of fisheries resources throughout the islands. Many economically important bottomfish in Hawaii have declined in population size due to anthropogenic and environmental pressures....

Is there a change in expression of apoptosis and autophagy genes in Aiptasia sp. after thermal stress?

Creator:: Flesher, Jessica L.
Abstract:: Corals form the foundation for coral reef ecosystems and contain symbiotic dinoflagellates which greatly contribute to reef primary productivity. Loss of dinoflagellates from animal (host) cells results in cnidarian bleaching which leads to decreased coral fitness, and reef deterioration. Elevated temperature, caused by global warming, is the primary environmental stressor...

Characterization of the Plasmids of the Pathogenic Plant Bacterium Erwinia amylovora in Washington and Oregon

Creator:: Carey, Alyssa B.
Abstract:: Erwinia amylovora is a plant pathogenic bacterium that causes the destructive disease fire blight of apple and pear. We examined the plasmid content of a collection of 305 isolates of E. amylovora from Washington and Oregon with PCR assays and RFLP. Nearly all isolates of E. amylovora carried plasmid pEA29,...

Effects of parent size and initial lacerate size on development of Exaiptasia diaphana

Creator:: Glennon, Ryan
Abstract:: As coral reefs continue to experience decline from human-related stressors, the countless species that depend upon them for food and shelter are likely to follow, constituting a loss of one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Though laboratory studies of corals remain difficult, promising model organisms may hold...

Contributions of photoautotrophy and heterotrophy to the carbon and nitrogen nutrition of Anthopleura elegantissima in three symbiotic states

Creator:: Hampton-Wonder, Kathryn Anne
Abstract:: The Pacific coast sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima is an excellent model organism for the study of temperate symbiosis due to its unique relationship with two microalgal symbionts, Elliptochloris marina and Symbiodinium spp. In addition to hosting one or both of these symbionts, A. elegantissima can live aposymbiotically, allowing for the...

Induction of apple defense genes by Erwinia amylovora and biological control agents

Creator:: Bauer, Lisa M.
Abstract:: Fire blight is a serious disease of apple and pear trees caused by the bacterium, Erwinia amylovora. This bacterium harbors a pathogenesis mechanism known as the Hrp secretory operon which induces some resistance genes and suppresses other resistance genes in the host plant following invasion. While previous researchers analyzed expression...

Gene expression of four carbonic anhydrase paralogs across the symbiotic states of the model temperate sea anemone, Anthopleura elegantissima (Brandt 1835)

Creator:: Meier, Emily K.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic CO₂ emissions are shifting the global climate equilibrium, causing widespread losses in biodiversity. Anthozoan cnidarians are some of the species most vulnerable to environmental change. Environmental stress causes corals and sea anemones to expel their endosymbiotic algae, which constitute a primary source of nutrition for some Anthozoa. Carbonic anhydrase...

Contribution of native plasmids to fitness of Pantoea vagans C9-1, a biological control agent for fire blight of apple and pear

Creator:: Klein, Jeannie M.
Abstract:: Pantoea vagans C9-1 (C9-1) is a biological control agent sprayed onto apple and pear trees during bloom for suppression of fire blight, a devastating bacterial disease caused by Erwinia amylovora. Prior bioinformatics studies of C9-1 focused on predicted phenotypes associated with the three native megaplasmids, pPag1, pPag2, and pPag3, and...
