  • Lysophospholipase of germinating barley seeds

    Creator:
    Fujikura, Yuzo
    Abstract:
    The amylose component of cereal starch contains lysophospholipid, predominantly lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) as inclusion complexes. As starch undergoes degradation by amylases during barley germination, lysophospholipase (LPL) an enzyme which degrades lysophospholipids appears in the starchy endosperms and becomes associated with the starch fraction. The enzyme has been reported to have a...

  • Changes in enzyme activities of the isoprenoid pathway in germinating Pisum sativum

    Creator:
    Green, Terrence Robert, 1944-
    Abstract:
    The nature of the isoprenoid pathway and diversity of biologically significant products suggests that the pathway may be highly regulated, particularly under stress conditions, where the availability of high energy intermediates is limited. It was postulated that germinating seeds suffer from a limited supply of available energy and must therefore...

  • Studies on sterol : UDP glucose glucosyltransferase in germinating pea seedling

    Creator:
    Fang, Ta-Yun
    Abstract:
    Steryl glycoside is synthesized from mevalonate [2- ¹⁴C] in both maturing pea seeds and etiolated pea seedlings. The maturing seed appeared more active than the seedlings for this synthesis. The sugar moiety was identified predominantly as glucose by acid hydrolysis and paper chromatography of the aqueous extract of the hydrolysate....

  • Characterization of different forms of lysophospholipase in barley

    Creator:
    Lundgard, Robert
    Abstract:
    During barley germination, α-amylase and other hydrolases are synthesized in the aleurone layer and secreted into the starchy endosperm. As starch is degraded by amylases, lysophospholipids are released from inclusion complexes with the starch and undergo hydrolysis by a lysophospholipase (LPL) activity. Studies with embryo-free half seeds and isolated aleurone...

  • Indirect effects of fishing on predators and their prey

    Creator:
    Stallings, Christopher Derek
    Abstract:
    Predators are fundamentally important for regulating and driving prey population dynamics as well as structuring ecological communities. Over-exploitation of marine resources has caused dramatic depletions of predatory fish species and shifts in marine community composition, with attendant declines in productivity and diversity of marine ecosystems. Despite the important ramifications of...

  • Moving Towards Academic Success and Life Long Learning

    Creator:
    Becker, Derek R.
    Abstract:
    Early learning skills, such as executive function (EF), are a key component of healthy development and predict long-term academic success. Yet many children are entering kindergarten without the necessary skills (including EF) that are needed to set them on a successful learning trajectory. Early prekindergarten classrooms that encourage a high...

  • Ignition of Fuel Beds by Firebrands

    Creator:
    Bean, Derek R.
    Abstract:
    The severity of wildfires around the globe is increasing. At the same time, urban development is expanding outward into areas where severe fires occur. There is an increased risk of home loss to fires in areas where severe fires and urban expansion meet. Ignition of homes or nearby fuel is...

  • Identification of a mechanism underlying heritable subfertility in roosters homozygous for the rose comb allele

    Creator:
    McLean, Derek J.
    Abstract:
    The overall objective of this research was to define the cellular basis underlying heritable subfertility in roosters homozygous for the rose comb allele (R/R). Fertilization in the hen is preceded by the ascension of motile sperm through the vagina and sperm sequestration within sperm storage tubules (SST). The objective of...

  • Detrital Influences on Soil Carbon Stabilization in Wet Temperate Forest Soils

    Creator:
    Pierson, Derek N.
    Abstract:
    Soils, with their potential to store and stabilize carbon (C), are an essential resource for sustaining forest productivity, as well as for efforts to reduce atmospheric C concentrations. Protecting existing soil C and harnessing the sequestration potential of our soils require an improved understanding of the processes through which soil...

    Creator:
    Byerlee, Derek Ronald
    Abstract:
    The study critically analyzes the implication of various agricultural development policies on urban unemployment and income distribution. More specifically it focuses on the evaluation of agricultural policies at the macro-economic Level in the Nigerian economy. A system science and simulation approach is used to build and test a ten sector...
