The role of the putative transcription factor DIS10 in PRC2-mediated gene silencing

Creator:: Jackson, Kendra K.
Abstract:: PRC2 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 2) mediated gene silencing plays an important role in cell differentiation, stem cell plasticity, and tumor suppression. In fungi, it is also involved in pathogenicity. The catalytic subunit, KMT6, trimethylates lysine 27 on histone h3 (H3K27me3) at loci targeted for silencing. In animals, PRC1 and PRC2...

Pollen fidelity of Apis mellifera L. during pollination of Limnanthes alba Hartw. ex Benth. ssp. alba, Limnanthaceae

Creator:: Watkins, Ann J.
Abstract:: Limnanthes alba, commonly known as meadowfoam is a popular commercial crop because its seed oil is composed of long carbon chains that provide it with high oxidative stability and consequently make it a desirable ingredient in cosmetic products. As a commercial pollinator, the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, may be...

Evaluating larval size and survival after probiotic addition in Pacific oyster larvae

Creator:: Grant, Ian
Abstract:: Oysters are a large part of the American aquaculture market, and the oyster farming industry was valued at over 1 billion dollars in 2021. However, oyster farmers often face issues surrounding the mortality rates of their stock. One cause of this is infections caused by Vibrio coralliilyticus (Vcor), a bacterium...

Arsenic and Zinc Deficiency Induced Changes in Pancreatic Beta Cells

Creator:: Cao, Annie L.
Abstract:: Pancreatic beta cells produce and release insulin, a vital hormone that regulates blood glucose levels, and their dysfunction contributes to the development of diabetes mellitus. Dietary zinc deficiency and exposure to the toxicant inorganic arsenic have both independently been associated with diabetes, although the effects of their combination on pancreatic...
