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 ... -
Lateral Gene Transfer between Bacteria and Trichoderma reesei
(East Carolina University, 2012)Lateral gene transfer (LGT) has played an important role in shaping the `tree of life'. It has promoted evolution by generating gene redundancies, which allow for more freedom in terms of allowed mutations in a genome, ... -
Life History Aspects of the Hickory Shad (Alosa Mediocris) in the Albemarle Sound/ Roanoke River Watershed, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 1998-01)The hickory shad (Alosa mediocris), which supports commercial and recreational fisheries in the Roanoke River and Albemarle Sound, North Carolina, is an anadromous species closely related to the American shad (A. sapidissima). ... -
Listening to Ocean Life
(2019-05-30)By using a remotely controlled autonomous vehicle ("Blackbeard" the Acoustic Wave Glider), the authors made recordings of sounds produced by striped cusk eels, sea robins, oyster toadfish, weakfish, red drum, spotted ... -
Local and Regional Aspects of Habitat Quality Jointly Affect the Biodiversity of Ephemeral Ponds
(East Carolina University, 2012)The biodiversity of local communities is likely affected by both local habitat quality and by the quality of the landscape surrounding the locality. In pond environments, habitat quality may be affected by the kind of leaf ... -
LOCALIZATION AND CHANGES OF NUCLEAR PROGESTERONE RECEPTORS IN ZEBRAFISH OOCYTES AND ADJACENT FOLLICULAR CELLS
(East Carolina University, 2010)The nuclear progesterone receptor (Pgr) is one of the major mediators for progestin signaling during oocyte ovulation in vertebrates. However, any roles Pgr may play in oocyte growth, and especially in the final oocyte ...
