Phytochemicals as mediators for host range expansion of a native invasive forest insect herbivore.
Download2019-01-01
Mountain pine beetle (MPB, Dendroctonus ponderosae) has recently breached the geo-climatic barrier of the northern Rocky Mountains and invaded novel jack pine (Pinus banksiana) forests in western Canada. This breach signifies an unprecedented climate change-induced invasion of a new plant biome...

Saproxylic Beetles (Coleoptera) Associated With Aspen Deadwood in Broad-Leaved Boreal Mixedwood Stands
DownloadFall 2012
I assessed deadwood-associated (i.e., ‘saproxylic’) beetles (Coleoptera) along a decay gradient of trembling aspen in mature deciduous stands of the boreal mixedwood forest in NW Alberta. Various collection methods were employed to sample saproxylic beetle species. Assemblages differed between...

Seasonal shifts in accumulation of glycerol biosynthetic gene transcripts in mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), larvae

Fraser, Jordie D., Bonnett, Tiffany R., Keeling, Christopher I., Huber, Dezene P.W.
Winter mortality is a major factor regulating population size of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Glycerol is the major cryoprotectant in this freeze intolerant insect. We report findings from a gene expression study on an overwintering...

The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a significant destructive force in the pine forests of western Canada and has the capacity to spread east into a novel host tree species, jack pine (Pinaceae). New populations have been documented in central...

The cytochrome P450 CYP6DE1 catalyzes the conversion of α-pinene into the mountain pine beetle aggregation pheromone trans-verbenol
Download2019-01-01
Chiu, Christine C., Keeling, Christopher I., Bohlmann, Joerg
The recent outbreak of the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae; MPB) has afected over 20M hectares of pine forests in western North America. During the colonization of host trees, female MPB release the aggregation pheromone (−)-trans-verbenol. (−)-trans-Verbenol is thought to...

The role of cytochrome P450 and the protective effect of EETs against isoproterenol-induced cellular hypertrophy in rat H9c2 cell line
DownloadSpring 2013
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes have been identified in the heart and their levels have been reported to be altered during cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Furthermore, CYP enzymes have been shown to metabolize arachidonic acid to cardioprotective epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and...

THE ROLE OF CYTOCHROME P450 AND THEIR ASSOCIATED ARACHIDONIC ACID METABOLITES IN THE INITIATION AND PROGRESSION OF CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY
DownloadSpring 2016
Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of mortality and disability in adults worldwide. Cardiac hypertrophy is an independent risk factor and one of the major hallmarks of HF. Research in cardiac hypertrophy is considered as a research into the early events in the development of HF. The...

The role of cytochrome P450 derived arachidonic acid metabolites against Angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy in Sprague Dawley rats and the RL-14 cell line
DownloadFall 2015
Several cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and their arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites play essential roles in the maintenance of cardiovascular health, and their alteration gives rise to a number of cardiovascular diseases, including cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Recent data demonstrated...
