Investigating the role of soil legacy effects and community engagement in the management of Lespedeza cuneata, an invasive legume
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-23)Invasive plant species present a growing threat to biodiversity. Many invasive plants are able to recruit microbial symbionts in their novel range and establish plant-soil feedbacks that influence growth and fitness. These ... -
Investigating the role of transcription factor, Trl, during germline development in the Drosophila ovary
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-22)Oogenesis is the process by which an egg develops from undifferentiated cells in the ovary. The Drosophila melanogaster ovary is an assembly line for egg production, making it a great system to investigate initial oocyte ... -
IS PREDATION BY TURTLES SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TO AFFECT BIODIVERSITY WITHIN FISHLESS PONDS?
(East Carolina University, 2011)Ecologists have long known that predation can have a strong effect on the diversity and abundance of prey in ecological communities. Much evidence on the importance of predation in aquatic systems has stemmed from studies ... -
KNOWLEDGE AND PERCEPTION OF TYPE 2 DIABETES PREVALENCE AND TREATMENT AMONG STUDENTS AT EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-03)The present study will investigate the basic understanding of type 2 diabetes treatment and prevalence among college students in Eastern North Carolina. The data gathered could promote programs that more effectively educate ... -
Lack of K-Dependent Oxidative Stress in Cotton Roots Following Coronatine-Induced ROS Accumulation
(2015-05)Coronatine [COR] is a novel type of plant growth regulator with similarities in structure and property to jasmonate. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between increased root vitality induced by ... -
Large-scale genome modifications in Arabidopsis thaliana using TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)Due to the world becoming over populated, it is becoming increasingly difficult to supply food for everyone. The only believed solution to this issue is to find ways to make plants more productive so that less land will ... -
The largest subunit of RNA polymerase II from the Glaucocystophyta: functional constraint and short-branch exclusion in deep eukaryotic phylogeny
(East Carolina University, 2005-12)Background: Evolutionary analyses of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB1) have yielded important and at times provocative results. One particularly troublesome outcome is the consistent inference of independent ...
