A high-efficiency CRISPR/Cas9 system for targeted mutagenesis in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
(2017-03-03)
The complex allotetraploid genome is one of major challenges in cotton for repressing gene expression.
Developing site-specific DNA mutation is the long-term dream for cotton breeding scientists. The
clustered regularly ...
The Effect of Diet on Venom Gene Expression in Tetragnatha versicolor
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-01)
Tetragnatha versicolor is an orb weaving spider that can be found throughout North America from Alaska to Nicaragua. This along with the fact the T. versicolor is a habitat generalist means that the species encounters a ...
Immune Priming in A. Mellifera
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-13)
Trans-generational immune priming (TgIP) is the transfer of maternal immune experience to progeny, producing offspring pathogen resistance and ultimately survival from infections. In colony-forming insects like the honey ...
A Paleodemographic Study of Mortality in 1st century BC/AD Petra, Jordan
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-19)
The 1st century BC to 1st century AD population of Petra appears to have rarely suffered from infectious diseases based on the low frequency of pathological bone lesions in skeletons recovered from tombs on the site's North ...
A multiproxy paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Late Quaternary marine sediments: Sunda Shelf, Southern South China Sea
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
Two gravity cores were collected from 43 km and 90 km offshore of Kuala Terengganu (western Sunda Shelf, southern South China Sea) at ~60 m water depth to characterize late Quaternary paleoenvironments by using bulk sediment ...
Determining structural and stratigraphic controls on natural gas production of the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone, Catskill delta complex, southern West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-26)
Understanding the controls on natural gas production from the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone may help petroleum geologists and reservoir engineers better develop and implement a plan for reservoir restimulation to recover ...
A Petrologic and Diagenetic Study of the Onondaga Formation, New Jersey
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
A petrologic investigation of the Onondaga Formation in New Jersey has never been conducted, although similar studies have taken place in the surrounding states of New York and Pennsylvania. Thirteen sample sites from the ...
Effects of Urbanization on Stream-Riparian Zone Connection along Low Order Coastal Plain Streams of North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
Headwater stream reaches, vital areas of exchange between upland and aquatic systems, are commonly affected by stream burial because they constitute a large fraction of total stream length and are more economically feasible ...
Sorption of Ibuprofen to Coastal Plain Soils
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
The transport and fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems has become an area of concern in the environmental science community. Due to advances in analytical technology, ...
The Effects of Social Status on Dopaminergic Regulation of Neural Circuit Activation and Behavior
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-19)
Social hierarchies can be observed within communities across many species and allow for proper allocation of resources. When forming social hierarchies, animals that display the most aggressive behaviors generally emerge ...
