NR5A family member ftz-f1 is necessary to promote oocyte development
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Gamete production in mammals and insects is intimately tied to nutrition status. Conversion of nutritionally-dependent physiological signals to molecular mechanisms underlying control of oogenesis, however, remains largely ...
Cloning and Characterization of the Classical Maize Mutant, Polytypic1
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Polytypic1 (Pt1) is a semi-dominant mutant in maize that affects inflorescence development. To understand how Pt1 functions in development, I examined the phenotype of Pt1 mutants in multiple inbred backgrounds. Pt1 defects ...
EFFECTS OF SODIUM BENOZATE ON FAT DEPOSITION AND GROWTH IN CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-11)
Clinical observation has proposed the linkage between the occurrence of obesity and slow weight loss with daily exposure to common food additives such as sodium benzoate. However, well-controlled laboratory experiments on ...
The Role of the Melanocortin-1 Receptor Gene in Müllerian Mimic Ranitomeya imitator
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)
The Peruvian poison dart frog Ranitomeya imitator has undergone a Müllerian mimetic radiation, which means that this species has evolved color patterns that mimic three other poison dart frogs in different geographic regions ...

FUNCTIONS OF G-PROTEIN COUPLED ESTROGEN RECEPTOR (GPER) IN FEMALE ZEBRAFISH REPRODUCTION
(East Carolina University, 2019-11-27)
Abstract
Steroid hormones such as estrogen depend on receptors like Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) and Estrogen Receptor (ERβ) to mediate their slow “genomic” functions, and G-Protein coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER) to ...
