MicroRNA Expression Analysis in the Cellulosic Biofuel Crop Switchgrass () under Abiotic Stress
(2012)Switchgrass has increasingly been recognized as a dedicated biofuel crop for its broad adaptation to marginal lands and high biomass. However, little is known about the basic biology and the regulatory mechanisms of gene ... -
Responses of Leaf Litter Breakdown Rates and Microbial Enzyme Activity to Salinity in North Carolina Wetlands
(East Carolina University, 2014)Sea-level rise and human activities are causing the increase of salinity in coastal freshwater wetlands. Increased salinity in some wetlands has been found to accelerate leaf litter decomposition, an important driver of ... -
ZOOPLANKTON COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION ACROSS A SALINITY GRADIENT
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-05)Pre and post-colonization factors differentially affect community structure. Sea level rise is mixing formerly isoloted freshwater communities with salt water communities. These ponds have a large range of salinity, which ...
