Rac1 is a small GTPase that belongs to the Rho family. Like other Rho family GTPases, it mediates a plethora of cellular effects, including regulation of cytoarchitecture, cell size, cell adhesion, cell polarity, cell motility, proliferation, apoptosis/survival, and membrane trafficking. The...

Cilia are microtubule-based structures that project from nearly every cell in the vertebrate body. While cilia in different contexts can have either sensory or motile functions, all cilia rely upon a core set of genes. When these genes are mutated either singly or in various combinations, a...

Investigation of transcriptional and translational regulation of the Neurospora crassa alternative oxidase
DownloadFall 2018
Mitochondria are organelles found in most eukaryotes and supply the cell with the majority of its energy needs in the form of ATP. Most of the proteins needed for mitochondrial function are nuclear encoded. Therefore, mitochondria communicate their functional status to the nucleus, resulting in...

Lifestyles of sourdough lactobacilli – Do they matter for microbial ecology and bread quality?
Download2018-01-01
Gänzle, Michael G., Zheng, Jinshui
Sourdough is used in production of (steamed) bread as leavening agent (type I sourdoughs) or as baking improver to enhance flavour, texture, and shelf life of bread (type II sourdoughs). The long-term propagation of sourdoughs eliminates dispersal limitation and consistently leads to sourdough...

Mandibles and labrum-epipharynx of tiger beetles: Basic structure and evolution (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Cicindelitae)
Download2011
Acorn, J. H., Ball, G. E., Shpeley, D.
Abstract: Using for comparison with, and as outgroups for, supertribe Cicindelitae, we describe and illustrate the mandibles and labrum-epipharynx of the basal geadephagans Trachypachus gibbsii LeConte, 1861 (family Trachypachidae), and family Carabidae: Pelophila rudis (LeConte, 1863)...

Manipulation of Seed Carbon Flow from Cellulose to Lipid and Protein Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis to Accelerate the Characterization of Protein-Related Genes in Canola
DownloadFall 2023
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is the major oilseed crop in Canada. After oil extraction, the protein-rich seed meal (around 40% protein) serves as a nutritious feedstock for animals and the protein fraction has potential for human consumption. However, excess fiber in the seed meal (about 33%) can...

Mathematical modeling of nitrous oxide emissions from an agricultural field during spring thaw
Download1999
Confidence in regional estimates of N2O emissions used in national greenhouse gas inventories could be improved by using mathematical models of the biological and physical processes by which these emissions are known to be controlled. However these models must first be rigorously tested against...

We present a literature survey and analysis of the profile of mites (Acari, exclusive of Ixodida) in recent literature and on the World Wide Web, and compare their prominence to that of spiders (Araneae). Despite having approximately the same number of described species, spiders outshine mites on...
