Comparison of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnCl₂ induced germ cell apoptosis in Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2014)There is inadequate research data available on manufactured ZnO nanoparticles. Manufactured nanoparticles are widely used in various products and production of manufactured nanoparticles is becoming increasingly abundant. ... -
Effects of Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticles on the Growth, Development, and microRNA Expression of Tobacco ()
(2012)Nanoparticles are a class of newly emerging environmental pollutions. To date, few experiments have been conducted to investigate the effect nanoparticles may have on plant growth and development. It is important to study ... -
A Functional Analysis of microRNAs in Nicotiana tabacum
(East Carolina University, 2012)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a newly discovered class of endogenous post-transcriptional gene regulators that are typically 20-22 nucleotides in length that do not code for proteins. MiRNAs regulate gene expression by either ... -
Selection of Reliable Reference Genes in for Analysis of Nanotoxicity
(2012)Despite rapid development and application of a wide range of manufactured metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), the understanding of potential risks of using NPs is less completed, especially at the molecular level. The nematode ...
