Genetic control of cell fate specification in Caenorhabditis elegans germline.
(East Carolina University, 2015)The precise regulation of germ cell fates (sperm or oocyte) lies at the heart of reproduction and fertility. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites produce a discrete number of sperm during larval development ... -
Genetic deletion of skeletal muscle Cox6a2 (Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit 6a polypeptide 2) delays regeneration in preclinical model of Peripheral Artery Disease
(East Carolina University, 2023-12-04)Chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) is the most severe clinical manifestation of peripheral artery disease (PAD). There are no current therapeutic options for CLTI outside of surgical intervention and it remains the ... -
Genetic regulation of maize floral development - insights from the transcriptome and translatome
(East Carolina University, 2022-06-24)Flowers are produced by floral meristems, groups of stem cells that give rise to floral organs. In grasses, including the major cereal crops, flowers (florets) are contained in spikelets, which contain one to many florets, ... -

Genome wide identification of ARF transcription factor gene family and their expression analysis in sweet potato
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-15)Auxin response factors (ARFs) are a family of transcription factors that play an important role of auxin regulation through their binding with auxin response elements. ARF genes are represented by a large multigene family ... -
Genome-Wide Identification And Expression Analysis Of TCP Transcription Factors In Cotton
(East Carolina University, 2015)TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors known to perform a variety of physiological functions during plant growth and development. In the current study, we performed for the first time the comprehensive ... -
GENRE FLUIDITY AND WRITING IDENTITY: ACTIVIST WRITERS, QUEER FEMINIST RHETORICS, WORKING FOR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)My dissertation proffers genre fluidity as a term to describe the rhetorical acts of shifting across and moving among genre conventions by blending and/or transgressing genre boundaries. Genre fluidity is defined as two ... -
Geochemistry and Genesis of Late Paleoproterozoic Banded Iron Formations and Metamorphosed Chemical Precipitates Spatially Associated with Pb-Zn Broken Hill-type Mineralization near the Broken Hill Deposit, Curnamona Province, Australia
(East Carolina University, 2014)Banded and massive iron formations (IFs) and garnet- and gahnite-quartz rocks are spatially associated with the giant, late Paleoproterozoic, Pb-Zn-Ag Broken Hill sulfide deposit and hundreds of minor Broken Hill-type ... -
Geographic Differences in Emergency Management Decision-Making : A Case Study of Severe Weather in the Midwest
(East Carolina University, 2014)Tornadoes are one of the most dangerous meteorological hazards on a local scale. While tornadoes can occur virtually anywhere, response--and the processes that lead to it--can vary based on location. It is the task of an ... -
GEOGRAPHIC PATTERNS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION PARTICIPATION AND BMI PERCENTILES : HAVE LEGAL MANDATES MADE A DIFFERENCE?
(East Carolina University, 2010)Childhood obesity in the United States of America has become a widespread epidemic. Over 30% of children ages 2 to 19 are overweight as classified by their Body Mass Indexes (BMI) (Ogden, Carroll, & Flegal, 2008). Prevention ...
