Abstract:: Skin is the largest organ in the body that protects the organism from environmental, chemical and physical traumas of each passing day. The protective skin epidermal permeability barrier (EPB) is formed within the exterior layers of the epidermis, which are regularly sloughed off and repopulated by movement of inner cells....

Abstract:: The role of viral proteins in the pathogenesis of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) was studied at the molecular level. The expression of the viral genes at the protein and RNA level, and their cellular localization, were characterized to further our understanding of viral pathogenesis. The pathogenic effect of individual...

Abstract:: The level of polymorphisms of many biochemical and DNA markers are low in cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). The number of mapped public DNA markers is limited. Molecular markers have not been developed for the most important diseases of sunflower, such as downy mildew. The objectives of this study were...

Creator:: Toojinda, Theeryut
Abstract:: Molecular tools, coupled with unique germplasm stocks and rigorous phenotyping, are useful for developing a better understanding of qualitative and quantitative disease resistance genes in plants. The identification of molecular markers linked to all types of resistance genes provides opportunities for implementing a range of resistance breeding strategies, ranging from...

Creator:: Harriff, Melanie J.
Abstract:: Environmental mycobacteria are important opportunistic pathogens for many hosts, including humans, cattle, and fish. Two well-studied species are Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium, a significant cause of disseminated bacterial disease in patients with AIDS, and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the cause of Johne’s disease in cattle. Many other species that are...

Creator:: Njuguna, Wambui
Abstract:: This dissertation describes the application and development of molecular tools that have great potential for use in studying variation in strawberry germplasm. The first study evaluated 91 microsatellite (simple sequence repeat, SSR) markers for transferability in 22 Fragaria species and their utility in fingerprinting octoploid strawberries. Out of the transferable...

Abstract:: Vibriosis caused by the bacterial pathogen Vibrio tubiashii is one of several factors contributing to mass larval mortalities of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) in Pacific Northwest shellfish hatcheries in recent years. Genetically improved strains of the Pacific oyster resistant to V. tubiashii would be highly desirable. This study investigates...
