The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a major forest pest of pines in western North America. Beetles typically undergo a one-year life cycle with larval cold hardening in preparation for overwintering. Two-year life cycle beetles have been observed but...

Bioconversion of Lignin and Glycerol to Polyhydroxyalkanoates Using Pseudomonas putida KT2440 Under Nutrient Limited Conditions
DownloadFall 2023
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a type of bioplastic synthesized by several bacterial species using various carbon sources. PHAs are biocompatible, sustainable, and biodegradable, making them attractive alternatives to traditional petroleum-based plastics. However, the price of PHAs is currently...

Gene expression analysis of overwintering mountain pine beetle larvae suggests multiple systems involved in overwintering stress, cold hardiness, and preparation for spring development

Robert, Jeanne A., Bonnett, Tiffany R., Pitt, Caitlin, Spooner, Luke J., Fraser, Jordan D., Yuen, Macaire M. S., Keeling, Christopher I., Bohlmann, Jorg, Huber, Dezene P. W.
Cold-induced mortality has historically been a key aspect of mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), population control, but little is known about the molecular basis for cold tolerance in this insect. We used RNA-seq analysis to monitor gene expression...

IL-6 indirectly modulates the induction of glyceroneogenic enzmes in adipose tissue during exercise
Download2012
Wan, Zhongxiao, Beaudoin, Marie-Soleil, Castellani, Laura, Wright, David C., Ritchie, Ian, Chan, Catherine B.
Background Glyceroneogenesis is an important step in the control of fatty acid re-esterification with PEPCK and PDK4 being identified as key enzymes in this process. We have previously shown that glyceroneogenic enzymes such as PDK4 are rapidly induced in white adipose tissue during exercise....

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...

Forbes, J. F., Law, G. K., Weiss, A. D., Scheuerman, A., McGann, L. E., Elliott, J. A., Jomha, N. M.
Long-term biologic storage of articular cartilage has proven elusive due to cellular degradation over time or acute damage during attempts at cryopreservation. Vitrification is one option that may result in successful cryopreservation but difficulty with cryoprotective agent (CPA) toxicity at...

The Effects of Hydraulic Fracturing Flowback and Produced Water on Exercise Capacity and Metabolic Fuel Selection in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
DownloadFall 2022
Hydraulic fracturing is an increasingly popular technique for unconventional hydrocarbon extraction in Canada. As its popularity continues to grow, concerns are being raised regarding its waste product, hydraulic fracturing flowback and produced water (FPW), and its effects on the environment....
