Hybridization between yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis) and meadow knapweed (Centaurea x moncktonii)

Creator:: Miskella, John
Abstract:: Centaurea solstitialis L. (yellow starthistle) and C. × moncktonii Britt. (meadow knapweed) are members of the genus Centaurea in the Asteraceae family. Both species have become serious management concerns as invasive species in North America, often displacing native vegetation and costing land managers millions of dollars to eradicate. Seven plants...

Comparative seedling growth of diffuse knapweed and bluebunch wheatgrass under altered moisture and temperature regimes

Creator:: Grammon, Arnold A.
Abstract:: In many areas of the Western U.S., diffuse knapweed (Centaurea diffusa Lam.) has invaded into plant communities dominated by bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudomegnaria spicata [Pursh] A. Love). The objectives of this study were to compare growth response of both species when grown under altered moisture and temperature regimes while in the...

Protein Disorder in the Evolution of Dynein Regulation

Creator:: Jie, Jing
Abstract:: Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP) are a class of proteins that lack a three-dimensional structure and their prevalence and diverse functions in the cell have only been discovered relatively recently. The intermediate chain (IC) subunit of the microtubule motor protein complex dynein contains an N-terminal disordered region, N-IC, which is central...

Frost hardiness of buds, flowers and fruit of pear (Pyrus communis L.)

Creator:: Strang, John George
Abstract:: Spring frost damage to pears in the Pacific Northwest frequently results in substantial crop losses. This research was undertaken to investigate the effects of frost on pear buds, flowers, and fruit through controlled freezing tests and field studies in order to better understand the frost phenomenon and refine frost protection...

Human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : global cancer risk and metabolism

Creator:: Motorykin, Oleksii
Abstract:: In recent decades, there has been increased attention on human exposure to, and subsequently toxicity of, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are widespread organic pollutants and some have been shown to be toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. This research was focused on understanding the link between global PAH emissions and lung...

What is killing the corals? Viral and bacterial interrogations using metagenomics and microscopy

Creator:: Soffer, Nitzan
Abstract:: Corals have multiple roles in maintaining ocean health and are some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. The coral animal is host to a multitude of taxa, including symbiotic dinoflagellate algae, fungi, bacteria, protists, and viruses. Environmental stressors and disease agents can perturb the delicate balance of the coral host...

Biophysical basis of macromolecular assembly in the dynein cargo attachment complex

Creator:: Hall, Justin Daniel
Abstract:: Cytoplasmic dynein is an ATP-dependent, microtubule-based molecular motor involved in the positioning and trafficking of cellular cargo. The cargo binding sub-domain of dynein contains the natively disordered intermediate chain (IC) and the homodimeric light chains (Tctex1, LC8 and LC7). The structure and stoichiometry of this complex, how the light chains...

Functional and Structural Analyses of Three Distinct proteins by Biochemical and Biophysical Techniques

Creator:: Codding, Sara Jone
Abstract:: The focus of this dissertation was to understand protein function and structure ona molecular level. To do this successfully, a variety of biochemical and biophysicaltechniques were employed. A wide variety of techniques were applied to study theproteins of interest in this dissertation to probe protein-protein interactions, proteinfunction, protein structure, and...

Chronic exposure of rodents to indole-3-carbinol and 3,3'-diindolylmethane : implications for drug metabolism, chemoprevention and human health

Creator:: Leibelt, Dustin A.
Abstract:: Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a naturally occurring plant alkaloid, found in significant concentrations in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts. I3C is an unstable compound that undergoes rapid oligomerization in an acidic environment to form higher order condensation products (I3C-ACPs), such as 3-3'-diindolylmethane (DIM). Both I3C and DIM are...
