Vernalization gene architecture as a predictor of growth habit in barley

Creator:: Heckart, Douglas
Abstract:: Winter hardiness in barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a trait targeted by breeding programs in order to expand the potential area of adaptation of fall-sown cereals. Vernalization requirement is an important factor in winter hardiness. A vernalization requirement is an extended period of low temperature required for transition from the vegetative...

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...

Use of sheep in the control of an invasive bunchgrass

Creator:: Scholz, Ryan
Abstract:: Studies were conducted to assess influencing the effectiveness of sheep for grazing control of false brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum) an invasive grass species. Orphan lambs were exposed to false brome via grass extract in their milk and naturally reared lambs were exposed by grazing dense stands of false brome with their...

Urban Business Rodent Control Behavior and Attitudes Toward Rodents and Impact on Non-target Wildlife (Presentation), Urban business attitudes regarding rodents, rodent control methods, and impact on wildlife

Creator:: Arndt, Eva
Abstract:: Birds of prey and carnivorous mammals feed on small birds, rodents and other small mammals. Humans perceive many of the prey animals of these predators as well as the predators themselves, as “pests”, and seek to control them. Control methods for these unwanted pests, particularly rodents, have the potential to...

Toxicological Investigations of Two Poisonous Plants, Tansy Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) and Summer Dandelion (Hypochaeris radicata) with Potential Therapeutic Agents, Quillaja and Milk Thistle

Creator:: Trejo, Elyssa A.
Abstract:: Stringhalt is a disorder in horses characterized by high stepping with hyperflexion of the hind limbs. This disorder has been reported from the US, Australia, Chile, and Brazil. In most instances, the disease manifests itself in horses exposed to summer dandelion (Hypochaeris radicata). Stringhalt has been induced by feeding summer...

Toxicity and Mutagenicity of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Contaminated Soils using Mammalian In Vitro Assay

Creator:: Luker, George W.
Abstract:: There exists a growing need to establish a better in vitro model for evaluating PAH toxicity and carcinogenicity and to improve assessments of risk to human health, especially to the complex mixtures that exist in the environment. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants due to the incomplete combustion...

The Release of Nickel from Stainless Steel into Cooked Foods

Creator:: Kamerud, Kristin L.
Abstract:: Toxicological studies show that oral doses of nickel can cause allergic contact dermatitis, and routes of exposure, such as nickel leached from stainless steel cookware are not well characterized. In this study, four variables: grade of stainless steel, cook time, stainless steel seasoning or cooking cycles, and commercial tomato sauces,...

The Effect of Sucrose on the Stability of Respiratory Syncytial Virus

Creator:: Redmond, Jillian
Abstract:: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a major concern in infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. There is currently no vaccine available. While it causes a significant number of hospitalizations and complications, RSV is a thermo labile virus and not very stable in the environment. This matter complicates the creation of...

The Effect of Intracellular Zinc Concentration on Immune Activation and Proinflammatory Response in THP-1 Monocytes

Creator:: Rinaldi, Nicole A.
Abstract:: Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for many cellular functions, including the development and function of the immune system. The biological consequences of zinc deficiency illustrate the significance of zinc in human health. Zinc deficiency has been shown to cause the dysregulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses, as...

Telomere Binding Protein Antagonists for Stem Cell Therapy

Creator:: VanGarde, Aurora
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanisms through which stem cells self-renew is important for the development of new therapies to repair and restore damaged tissue. This research explores possible mechanisms of telomere mimic action and seeks to validate a new assay for evaluating telomere binding antagonists and studying the effects of telomere binding...
