  • EBB1, an AP2/ERF Transcription Factor, Promotes Transgenic Shoot Development in Populus

    Creator:
    Ree, Joseph
    Abstract:
    Recalcitrance to transformation makes genetic engineering of many valuable plants infeasible for practical use. Transitory host modification during transformation using transgenes offers a possible means of overcoming this obstacle. In prior work in our laboratory, the genes GA20ox7 and EBB1 were found to increase regeneration in vitro. In this project,...

  • 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...

  • Enzyme-Mediated Conversion of Glucolimnanthin to Bioherbicidal Breakdown Products

    Creator:
    Bratton, Daniel
    Abstract:
    The oilseed crop Limnanthes alba (white meadowfoam) is grown in Oregon. Methods were developed for the production of a liquid-based bioherbicide from meadowfoam seed meal (MSM). It was determined that glucosinolate-containing extracts of MSM can be combined with active-enzyme-containing liquid extracts of meadowfoam seed to form a fermented product rich...

  • Effects of Xanthohumol on Biomarkers of Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Rats

    Creator:
    Moreno Luna, Arlyn Y.
    Abstract:
    Flavonoids are a large family of compounds synthesized by plants that have a common chemical structure. It is believed that the health effects of fruits and vegetables are primarily due to dietary flavonoids content. Current research indicates that dietary flavonoids show promise for mitigating and/or preventing chronic conditions associated with...

  • DNA Mismatch Repair-Dependent Suppression of Genotoxicity of Benzo[a]pyrene Diol Epoxide

    Creator:
    Kernan, Casey P.
    Abstract:
    DNA mismatch repair (MMR) plays an important role in preserving genomic stability and reducing cancer risk. Environmental exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are believed to contribute significantly to carcinogenesis. PAHs are found in food, air, water and soil and upon bioactivation can form diol epoxides which are electrophilic in...
