Genome-Wide Identification of R2R3-MYB Genes and Expression Analyses During Abiotic Stress in
(2016-03)
The R2R3-MYB is one of the largest families of transcription factors, which have been implicated in multiple biological processes. There is great diversity in the number of R2R3-MYB genes in different plants. However, there ...
Identification, characterization, and gene expression analysis of nucleotide binding site (NB)-type resistance gene homologues in switchgrass
(2016-11-08)
Abstract
Background
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm-season perennial grass that can be used as a second generation bioenergy crop. However, foliar fungal ...
TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL GRADIENTS IN PHYTOPLANKTON PIGMENTS IN THE TAR-PAMLICO RIVER ESTUARY
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)
Phytoplankton form the base of most aquatic food webs, and their biomass and the composition of their communities directly impact upper trophic levels. Phytoplankton chlorophyll a concentrations in aquatic environments ...
CRISPR/CAS9 SYSTEMS FOR PLANT GENOME EDITING
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)
The increasing burden of the world population on agriculture requires the development of
more robust crops. Dissecting the basic biology that underlies plant susceptibility to pathogens
and drives crop loss will inform ...
MCM10 Genetic Screen Using Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)
Genes and the proteins they encode are responsible for virtually every aspect of life. The vast array of biological processes make it difficult to identify genes to study that are relevant to human diseases. MCM10 (short ...
The Effects of Coal Ash on pH and Microbial Respiration in Neuse River Sediments
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)
Coal combustion residuals are by-products of energy production resulting from the burning of coal. The coal combustion residuals, or simply coal ash, are then cleaned from the furnaces and added to water to form a thick ...
Suppression of claudin-7 enhances human lung cancer cell survival
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)
Claudin-7 belongs to a group of tight junction membrane proteins that play vital roles in many human diseases including human lung cancer. Lung cancer is noted to be the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women ...
SEQUENCING AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MITOCHONDRIAL CYTOCHROME B GENE IN THE MARION UPLANDS FLORIDA SAND SKINK (PLESTIODON REYNOLDSI)
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)
The Florida sand skink (Plestiodon reynoldsi)—a small (~10 cm) lizard endemic to the peninsula—is a ‘sand-swimming’ specialist restricted to Florida scrub habitat on the state’s central highland ridges. Florida scrub has ...
Melding Research and Education in a Zoological Setting
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-27)
The first zoo was opened in London in 1828 and was intended for scientific study, but was eventually opened to the public in 1847. Since then, public dogma has dictated the development, role, and standards concerning the ...
Macronutrient Intake of Pregnant Exercisers and Non-Exercisers
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)
With the childhood obesity pandemic, it is vital for pregnant women to focus on healthy habits (i.e. proper nutrition, exercise) in order to ensure a positive in utero environment. Exercise during pregnancy is associated ...
