Characterizing Multigenerational Effects of Nicotine-Dependent Behaviors in Caenorhabditis Elegans
Sepic, Lucille Rose (East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)This project aims to investigate the effects nicotine, a highly addictive chemical associated with tobacco smoking, have on offspring (F1 and F2) using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). C. elegans is ... -
Investigating the role microRNAs play in the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita’s viability, reproduction, and parasitism in cotton
Shepherd, Jennings (East Carolina University, 2023-04-25)Functions of four microRNAs (miRNAs), min-miR1, min-miR71, min-miR100a, and min-miR-124, were investigated in the parasitic nematode Meloidogyne incognita’s (M. incognita’s) overall behavior and mortality. M. incognita is ... -
