Genome-wide comparative analysis of flowering-related genes in arabidopsis, wheat, and barley
Download2015
Hu, Zhiqiu, Yang, Rong-Cai, Peng, Fred Y.
Early flowering is an important trait influencing grain yield and quality in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in short-season cropping regions. However, due to large and complex genomes of these species, direct identification of flowering genes and their molecular...

Dennis, Jonathan J., Stothard, Paul, Lynch, Karlene H.
Background The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is comprised of at least seventeen Gram-negative species that cause infections in cystic fibrosis patients. Because BCC bacteria are broadly antibiotic resistant, phage therapy is currently being investigated as a possible alternative treatment...

Glucose-regulated glucagon secretion requires insulin receptor expression in pancreatic α-cells
Download2005
Chan, Catherine B., Wheeler, Michael B., Asghar, Zeenat, Diao, Jingyu
The insulin receptor (IR) and its signaling appear to be essential for insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. However, much less is known about the role of the IR in α-cells. To assess the role of the IR in glucagon and insulin secretion, we engineered adeno-viruses for high efficiency small...

Glutamine supplementation improves intestinal barrier function in a weaned piglet model of Escherichia coli infection
Download2011
Johnson, Ian R., Ewaschuk, Julia B., Murdoch, Gordon K., Field, Catherine J., Madsen, Karen L.
The weaning period is associated with an increased prevalence of gastrointestinal infection in many species. Glutamine (Gln) has been shown to improve intestinal barrier function and immune function in both in vivo and in vitro models. The objective of the present study was to determine the...

Teixeira, Januana S., Seeras, Arisha, Sanchez-Maldonado, Alma Fernanda, Zhang, Chonggang, Su, Marcia Shu-Wei, Gänzle, Michael G.
This study aimed to determine whether glutamine deamidation improves acid resistance of Lactobacillus reuteri, and to assess whether arginine, glutamine, and glutamate-mediated acid resistance are redundant or complementary mechanisms of acid resistance. Three putative glutaminase genes, gls1,...

Glycomacropeptide from camel milk inhibits the adhesion of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88 to porcine cells
Download2022-11-01
Althnaibat, Rami M., Koch, Mandy, Bruce, Heather L., Wefers, Daniel, Gänzle, Michael G.
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are a major cause of childhood diarrhoea and of diarrhoea in piglets and calves. This study compared the anti-adhesive activities against ETEC of glycomacropeptide (GMP) from Bactrian camels and dromedaries with that of bovine GMP. GMP was purified by ion...

Harnessing cross-species alignment to discover SNPs and generate a draft genome sequence of a bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis)
Download2015
Moore, Stephen S., Miller, Joshua M., Coltman, David W., Liao, Xiaoping, Stothard, Paul
Background Whole genome sequences (WGS) have proliferated as sequencing technology continues to improve and costs decline. While many WGS of model or domestic organisms have been produced, a growing number of non-model species are also being sequenced. In the absence of a reference, construction...

Nimalaratne, Chamila, Wu, Jianping
Intake of antioxidants through diet is known to be important in reducing oxidative damage in cells and improving human health. Although eggs are known for their exceptional, nutritional quality, they are not generally considered as antioxidant foods. This review aims to establish the importance...

Heterologous expression of flax PHOSPHOLIPID:DIACYLGLYCEROL CHOLINEPHOSPHOTRANSFERASE (PDCT) increases polyunsaturated fatty acid content in yeast and Arabidopsis seeds
Download2015
Weselake, Randall J., Mietkiewska, Elzbieta, Pan, Xue, Singer, Stacy D., Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Wickramarathna, Aruna D.
Background Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an agriculturally important crop with seed oil enriched in α-linolenic acid (18:3 cisΔ9, 12, 15; ALA). This polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) is the major determinant for the quality of flax seed oil in food, nutraceuticals and industrial applications....

High adiposity is associated cross-sectionally with low self-concept and body size dissatisfaction among indigenous Cree schoolchildren in Canada
Download2013
Raine, Kim D., Ridley, Denise, Maximova, Katerina M., Willows, Noreen D.
Background Obesity and mental health problems are prevalent among indigenous children in Canada and the United States. In this cross-sectional study the associations between adiposity and body size satisfaction, body image and self-concept were examined in indigenous children in grades four to...
