A primitive triatomine bug, Paleotriatoma metaxytaxa gen. et sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae), in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar

Creator:: Poinar, George, Jr.
Abstract:: The present study describes a primitive kissing bug (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar. The fossil, which is described as Paleotriatoma metaxytaxa gen. et sp. nov., contains a predominance of features of the Triatominae as well as some characters of the Reduviinae and is considered an intermediate...

Bacterio-opsin gene overexpression fails to elevate fungal disease resistance in transgenic poplar (Populus)

Creator:: Mohamed, Rozi, Meilan, Richard, Ostry, Michael E., Michler, Charles H., and Strauss, Steven H.
Abstract:: Overexpression of the bacterio-opsin (bO) gene in tobacco had previously been shown to induce hypersensitiveresponse- like lesions, increase viral and bacterial disease resistance, and stimulate pathogenesis-related gene expression. To see if this gene enhanced resistance to fungal pathogens of poplar, we generated a total of 35 transgenic lines in two...

"AmaRosa," a Red Skinned, Red Fleshed Fingerling with High Phytonutrient Value

Creator:: Brown, Charles R., Vales, Isabel, Yilma, Solomon, James, Steven, Charlton, Brian, Culp, Darrin, Hane, Dan, Shock, Clinton, Feibert, Eric, Pavek, Mark, Knowles, Richard, Novy, Richard, Whitworth, Jonathan, Stark, Jeff, Miller, J. Creighton, Jr., Holm, David, Quick, Richard, and Navarre, Roy
Abstract:: The diversity of traits in varieties of potato outside of its South American birthplace is a small subset of that available in the Andean center of origin. Among the traits that evoke most interest are skin and flesh pigments. Recent studies have pointed to the high antioxidant activity and potential...

Columbia Basin Heritage Fish Consumption Rates

Creator:: Harper, Barbara L. and Walker, Deward E., Jr.
Abstract:: The distinction between contemporary Native American fish consumption rates and original baseline heritage rates is important as heritage rates have long been recognized as a baseline relevant to the fishing tribes of the Pacific Northwest, and are generally protected by Treaties and case law. This paper reviews two approaches to...

Ethanol and High-Value Terpene Co-Production from Lignocellulosic Biomass of Cymbopogon flexuosus and Cymbopogon martinii

Creator:: Joyce, Blake L., Zheljazkov, Valtcho D., Sykes, Robert, Cantrell, Charles L., Hamilton, Choo, Mann, David G., Rodriguez, Miguel, Mielenz, Jonathan R., Astatkie, Tess, and Stewart, C. Neal, Jr.
Abstract:: Cymbopogon flexuosus, lemongrass, and C. martinii, palmarosa, are perennial grasses grown to produce essential oils for the fragrance industry. The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate biomass and oil yields as a function of nitrogen and sulfur fertilization, and (2) to characterize their utility for lignocellulosic ethanol compared...

Effects of Aerosols on the Radiative Properties of Clouds

Creator:: Taylor, Jonathan P., Glew, Martin D., Coakley, James A., Jr., Tahnk, William R., Platnick, Steven, Hobbs, Peter V., and Ferek, Ronald J.
Abstract:: The influence of anthropogenic aerosols, in the form of ship exhaust effluent, on the microphysics and radiative properties of marine stratocumulus is studied using data gathered from the U.K. Met. Office C-130 and the University of Washington C-131A aircraft during the Monterey Area Ship Track (MAST) experiment in 1994. During...

Forest calcium depletion and biotic retention along a soil nitrogen gradient

Creator:: Perakis, Steven S., Sinkhorn, Emily R., Catricala, Christina E., Bullen, Thomas D., Fitzpatrick, John A., Hynicka, Justin D., and Cromack, Kermit, Jr.
Abstract:: High nitrogen (N) accumulation in terrestrial ecosystems can shift patterns of nutrient limitation and deficiency beyond N toward other nutrients, most notably phosphorus (P) and base cations (calcium [Ca], magnesium [Mg], and potassium [K]). We examined how naturally high N accumulation from a legacy of symbiotic N fixation shaped P...

Relationships between Marine Stratus Cloud Optical Depth and Temperature: Inferences from AVHRR Observations

Creator:: Chang, Fu-Lung and Coakley, James A., Jr.
Abstract:: Studies using International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) data have reported decreases in cloud optical depth with increasing temperature, thereby suggesting a positive feedback in cloud optical depth as climate warms. The negative cloud optical depth and temperature relationships are questioned because ISCCP employs threshold assumptions to identify cloudy pixels...

A mid-Cretaceous ambrosia fungus, Paleoambrosia entomophila gen. nov. et sp. nov. (Ascomycota: Ophiostomatales) in Burmese (Myanmar) amber, and evidence for a femoral mycangium

Creator:: Poinar, George O., Jr. and Vega, Fernando E.
Abstract:: An ambrosia fungus is described from filamentous sporodochia adjacent to a wood-boring ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Platypodinae) in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Yeast-like propagules and hyphal fragments of Paleoambrosia entomophila gen. nov. et sp. nov. occur in glandular sac mycangia located inside the femur of the beetle. This is the first...

Limits to the Aerosol Indirect Radiative Effect Derived from Observations of Ship Tracks

Creator:: Coakley, James A., Jr. and Walsh, Christopher D.
Abstract:: One-kilometer Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) observations of the effects of ships on low-level clouds off the west coast of the United States are used to derive limits for the degree to which clouds might be altered by increases in anthropogenic aerosols. As ships pass beneath low-level clouds, particles...
