Studies of non-mevalonate isoprenoid biosynthesis : the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate isomeroreductase (DXR) mediated reaction

Creator:: Woo, Youn-Hi
Abstract:: This dissertation details the investigation of an alternate pathway to isoprenoids that occurs in plants and microorganisms, the non-mevalonate pathway. This exploration of the pathway focuses on the second step, the conversion of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate (DXP) to 2-C-methylerythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) by the enzyme DXP isomeroreductase (DXR). These studies led to an appreciation...

Pheromone mechanisms and behavioral strategies for maximizing courtship success in a terrestrial salamander, Plethodon shermani

Creator:: Vaccaro, Elyse A.
Abstract:: Darwin devised the evolutionary theory of sexual selection to account for the manifold extravagances of courtship behaviors and displays. Mating interactions represent a major evolutionary process driving the elaboration, vibrancy, and peculiarity of these courtship traits. For my dissertation research, I strived to elucidate the dynamics that constitute the complex...

Development and disease of opakapaka (Pristiopomoides filamentosus) larvae in culture

Creator:: Keafer, Briana
Abstract:: Opakapaka (Pristipomoides filamentosus) is a snapper (family Lutjanidae) native to the waters around Hawaii.
