Reproductive Toxicity of Diazinon on Caenorhabditis elegans
Cobb, Juliana (East Carolina University, 2017-07-17)Worldwide, pesticide usage is on the rise. From 2006-2007, the global market saw a 1% increase in overall pesticide usage (Environmental Protection Agency 2012), a small percentage until you consider that one percent ... -
Selection of Reliable Reference Genes in for Analysis of Nanotoxicity
Zhang, Yanqiong; Chen, Dongliang; Smith, Michael A.; Zhang, Baohong; Pan, Xiaoping (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 ... -

Species-Specific Expansion and Molecular Evolution of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase (HMGR) Gene Family in Plants
Li, Wei; Liu, Wei; Wei, Hengling; He, Qiuling; Chen, Jinhong; Zhang, Baohong; Zhu, Shuijin (2014)Kazakh dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz, Tk) is a rubber-producing plant currently being investigated as a source of natural rubber for industrial applications. Like many other isoprenoids, rubber is a downstream product ... -
The Effects of Nicotine on Histone Modifications in Carnorhabditis Elegans
Parker, Daniel H. (2017-07-13)Early development stages have been known to be very susceptible to certain types of stress. Tobacco smoke is one of these major stresses that will affect them during this stage and can increase how likely they are to become ... -
Three Generations, One Future: A Systematic Analysis on Nicotine's Effect across generations in C. elegans.
Taki, Faten Ahmad (East Carolina University, 2013)Tobacco smoking is a worldwide epidemic that is responsible for diseases and death rates that surpass those attributed to a combination of other causes (e.g. cancer, HIV, accidents). A major mediator of tobacco-smoke related ... -
TITANIUM DIOXIDE NANOPARTICLES AFFECT THE GROWTH AND MIRNA EXPRESSION OF SWITCHGRASS (PANICUM VIRGATUM)
Boykov, Ilya N. (East Carolina University, 2017-06-28)Nanoparticle TiO2 is a common chemical used in paint, plastic, paper, ceramics, coated fabrics, floor coverings, printing ink, roofing granules, cosmetics, dyes and even food and drugs. As increasing usage of TiO2, it is ... -
