Caging the blob: using a slime mold to teach concepts about barriers that constrain the movement of organisms
(University of California Press, 2011-11-01)Few laboratory exercises are designed to teach biology students about barriers that may constrain the movement of organisms. We describe a unique inquiry-based exercise involving Lego mazes (the barrier) and the plasmodial ... -

Canadian Hemlock, Tsuga canadensis
(Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2018-10-31)Provides information about the physical characteristics, growth requirements, and landscape functions for Canadian Hemlock, Tsuga canadensis. -
Candidate Gene Sequence Analyses toward Identifying Rsv3-Type Resistance to Soybean Mosaic Virus
(Crop Science Society of America, 2016-05-13)Rsv3 is one of three genetic loci conferring strain-specific resistance to Soybean mosaic virus (SMV). The Rsv3 locus has been mapped to a 154-kb region on chromosome 14, containing a cluster of five nucleotide-binding ... -

Cellular and Transcriptional Responses of Resistant and Susceptible Cultivars of Alfalfa to the Root Lesion Nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans
(2019-07-31)The root lesion nematode (RLN), Pratylenchus penetrans, is a migratory species that attacks a broad range of crops, including alfalfa. High levels of infection can reduce alfalfa forage yields and lead to decreased cold ... -
The Central Negative Regulator of Flooding Tolerance, the PROTEOLYSIS 6 Branch of the N-degron Pathway, Adversely Modulates Salinity Tolerance in Arabidopsis
(MDPI, 2020-10-23)Seawater intrusion in coastal regions and waterlogging in salinized lands are serious constraints that reduce crop productivity under changing climate scenarios. Under these conditions, plants encounter flooding and salinity ... -
Cetylpyridinium chloride direct spray treatments reduce Salmonella on cantaloupe rough surfaces
(2018-08)Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) solutions (0, 0.5, or 1.0%) were applied to cantaloupe (Athena and Hale's Best Jumbo cultivars) rind plugs, either before or after inoculation with a broth culture of Salmonella Michigan ... -
Changes in belowground biodiversity during ecosystem development
(2019-04-02)Belowground organisms play critical roles in maintaining multiple ecosystem processes, including plant productivity, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Despite their importance, however, we have a limited understanding ... -
Changes in RNA Splicing in Developing Soybean (Glycine max) Embryos
(MDPI, 2013-11-21)Developing soybean seeds accumulate oils, proteins, and carbohydrates that are used as oxidizable substrates providing metabolic precursors and energy during seed germination. The accumulation of these storage compounds ... -
Characterization and silencing of the fatty acid- and retinol-binding Pp-far-1 gene in Pratylenchus penetrans
(2017-09)Fatty acid-and retinol-binding proteins (FARs) are unique to nematodes, and are implicated in a wide range of metabolic and parasitic related functions. Along with the in silico analyses performed in this study, three ... -
Characterization of chitinase activity and gene expression in muskmelon seeds
(Cambridge University Press, 2003-05)Chitinase is often produced in higher plants as a general defence response after wounding or pathogenic attack. Since germinating seeds are exposed to soil pathogens, the activity and expression of chitinase in muskmelon ... -
Characterization of Glutamate-Mediated Hormonal Regulatory Pathway of the Drought Responses in Relation to Proline Metabolism in Brassica napus L.
(2020-04)Proline metabolism influences the metabolic and/or signaling pathway in regulating plant stress responses. This study aimed to characterize the physiological significance of glutamate (Glu)-mediated proline metabolism in ... -
Characterization of Lilium longiflorum cv. 'Nellie White' Infection with Root-lesion Nematode Pratylenchus penetrans by Bright-field and Transmission Electron Microscopy
(2017-03)Lilium longiflorum cv. Nellie White, commonly known as Easter lily, is an important floral crop with an annual wholesale value of over $26 million in the United States. The root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans, is ... -
Characterization of the F Locus Responsible for Floral Anthocyanin Production in Potato
(Genetics Society of America, 2020-08-27)Anthocyanins are pigmented secondary metabolites produced via the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway and play important roles in plant stress responses, pollinator attraction, and consumer preference. Using RNA-sequencing ... -
Characterization of the inositol monophosphatase gene family in Arabidopsis
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-01-09)Synthes is of myo-inositol is crucial in multicellular eukaryote for production of phosphatidylinositol and inositol phosphate signaling molecules. The myo-inositol monophosphatase (IMP) enzyme is required for the synthesis ...
