Plant pathogenic Rhodococcus species are persistent pathogens able to cause severe growth deformities on a large range of hosts. The most well studied species, R. fascians is predicted by current models to synthesize a mixture of cytokinins that act to directly perturb the hosts' hormone balances, which results in abnormal...
Plant litter decomposition plays an important role in the global carbon cycle, and contributes large amounts of carbon to soils, which store more carbon than any other terrestrial pool of organic matter. Decomposition plays a fundamental role in nutrient cycling and alters soil properties that shape plant community composition and...
Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is important in the production of wines as it reduces acidity through the conversion of malic acid to lactic acid. However, successful MLF can be difficult to achieve due to yeast antagonism of the bacterium responsible for
the secondary fermentation, Oenococcus oeni. In particular, yeast produced sulfur...
This report summarizes information obtained from groundfish surveys conducted by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife from 1971 through 1974. The program was a comprehensive marine resource survey of the continental shelf and upper continental slope off Oregon between the Columbia River and Cape Blanco. Major goals were: (1)...
Many plant-associated Gram-negative bacteria, such a Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000 (PtoDC3000), use a type III secretion system (T3SS) to establish a host-microbe relationship with compatible plants. The T3SS resembles a molecular injection mechanism that allows the bacteria to deliver type III effectors (T3Es) directly into the cell of the...

Abstract
Stressful environmental conditions affect the adrenocortical function of developing animals, which can have consequences
for their fitness. Discovery of the avian stress hormone corticosterone (CORT) in feathers has the potential to broaden the
application of endocrine research in ecological and evolutionary studies of wild birds by providing a long-term measure...
