Comparative Genomics of Different Races of Columbia Root-knot Nematode and Development of Molecular Markers Linked to Corky Ringspot Resistance in Potato

Creator:: Hu, Shengwei
Abstract:: On a global scale, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plays an important role in tackling the threat of food insecurity due to its high yield and broad global acceptance. However, pathogens threaten potato production, causing direct yield loss and rendering potatoes tubers unmarketable. Breeding new cultivars that carry multiple resistances is...

Dispersed repetitive sequences in the chloroplast genome of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)

Creator:: Tsai, Ching-Hsiu
Abstract:: Chloroplast genomes of conifers are unusual in a number of respects, including the possession of much repetitive DNA. By studying the distribution and sequences of dispersed repetitive DNA, I hoped to gain insight into the mechanisms of chloroplast genome evolution. I used restriction mapping and DNA sequencing to characterize dispersed...

Electrophoretic karyotypes and molecular genetic analysis of Tilletia caries and T. controversa

Creator:: Russell, Brian W.
Abstract:: Electrophoretic karyotypes were obtained from intact cells of four wild type strains of Tilletia caries and T. controversa, and 5 inter specific hybrid progeny using clamped homogeneous electric field, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (CHEF PFGE). Each karyotype was polymorphic and unique relative to the other strains. However, the relative size...

Environmental Sustainability During the Early Design Phase: Understanding the Uncertainty in the Use Phase, Visualization, and Automating Design Repository Curation

Creator:: Tensa, Melissa
Abstract:: The objective of this research is to support DfX considerations in the early phases of design, particularly Design for the Environment. In order to include DfX considerations, especially early in the design process, there needs to be access to knowledge and information that is usually only applicable further downstream in...

Fingerprinting and genetic stability of Rubus using molecular markers

Creator:: Castillo, Nina Rosa F.
Abstract:: Two studies used DNA markers to assess their usefulness in germplasm identification and evaluation of genetic stability in four cryopreserved Rubus accessions that were stored for over 10 years in liquid nitrogen. In the first study, 12 robust Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers were developed from two microsatellite-enriched libraries of...

Growth of Staphylococcus aureus of enterotoxin production in pre-cooked tuna meat

Creator:: Wu, Xulei
Abstract:: Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen capable of producing enterotoxins causing staphylococcal food poisoning, one of the most economically important foodborne diseases in the U.S. This pathogen may be introduced to pre-cooked tuna meat used for the production of canned tuna because significant manual handling occurs after cooking of the...

Identification of novel immune molecular pathways and response markers to OmniGen-AF® supplementation in a rat model

Creator:: Branson, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: OmniGen-AF® (OG; Prince Agri Products, Inc., Quincy, IL) is a feed additive containing brewers dehydrated yeast and B-vitamins that supports immune function in ruminant livestock. Targeted profiling of immune-associated genes in whole blood is an effective platform for identification of a) novel molecular pathways and b) immune response markers to...

Illuminating Patterns in Dark Microbial Matter: Diversity and Distribution of Fungi and Actinobacteria in Deep-sea Methane Seep Sediments

Creator:: Ardor Bellucci, Lila
Abstract:: Fungi and Actinobacteria are essential actors in global biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nutrients, and have both been recently appreciated for their roles in marine ecosystems. However, the diversity and distribution of these ubiquitous, but low-abundance microbes in deep-sea habitats remains poorly understood, particularly in chemosynthetic habitats such as methane...

Influence of supplement composition on utilization of low-quality, cool-season forages by beef cattle

Creator:: McGuire, Dustin L.
Abstract:: Two studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of supplement composition on intake and digestibility of a low-quality (< 6% CP), cool-season forage, as well as cow performance. Treatments included a non-supplemented control (CON), corn (approximately 8% CP), corn and urea (LU = corn + 0.09 mg/kg BW urea, approximately...

Investigation of film forming properties of beta-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and improvement of water solubility of beta-chitosan, Investigation of film forming properties of β-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and improvement of water solubility of β-chitosan

Creator:: Chen, Jeremy L.
Abstract:: The objectives of this project were to investigate the critical factors impacting the physicochemical and antibacterial properties of β-chitosan based films derived from jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) pens, and to evaluate the feasibility of improving water solubility of β-chitosan through Maillard reaction. The studies examined the effect of molecular weight...
