ABSTRACT The plant vascular system transports water and nutrients, but also regulatory molecules that function in short- and long-distance mechanisms to pattern surrounding tissues. As such, the development of the vascular system is tied to the overall patterning and development of the plant...

The continuing use of crude oil and development of the oil industry have resulted in complex hydrocarbon mixtures becoming common environmental contaminants. These contaminants, such as oil sands process affected water (OSPW) and crude oil, are especially of concern in aquatic ecosystems. OSPW...

Retinoic acid prevents alteration of neuronal morphology and locomotion of zebrafish embryos induced by ethanol exposure during gastrulation
DownloadFall 2018
Ethanol (EtOH) exposure during development has been shown to lead to deficits in fine and gross motor control. In this study I used zebrafish embryos in the gastrulation stage to determine the developmental effects of a brief, 5-hour exposure to EtOH. I treated fertilized zebrafish eggs from 5.25...

Calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase 2 (CaMKII) is a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase that is highly abundant in the central nervous system. It plays important roles in many neuronal functions, including neurite extension and maturation, activity-dependent synaptic plasticity and...

DEAD Box 1 (DDX1) is a member of the DEAD box protein family of RNA helicases involved in all aspects of RNA metabolism. Although several DEAD box proteins have been well characterized, the biochemical activity of the majority of DEAD box proteins remains to be studied. DDX1 is mostly localized...

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare, neurodevelopmental disorder with multiple features caused by hypothalamic deficiency, including infantile failure to thrive, hyperphagia leading to obesity, growth hormone deficiency, hypogonadism, and central adrenal insufficiency. Other features of PWS...

Hope is tied to better outcomes across development; however, quantitative studies have shown that girls experience a significant decrease in their hope during early adolescence. Research that has been done on hope in early adolescence uses adult conceptualizations of hope and applies them to an...

Spatio-temporal characterization of retinal opsin gene expression during thyroid hormone-induced and natural development of rainbow trout
Download2006
Allison, W. T., Helbing, C. C., Anholt, B. R., Hawryshyn, C. W., Veldhoen, N., Veldhoen, K.
Abstract: The abundance and spatial distribution of retinal cone photoreceptors change during thyroid hormone (TH)-induced and natural development of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). These changes are thought to allow the fish to adapt to different photic environments throughout its life...

Structural and Biochemical Changes in Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Seeds during Germination and Early Seedling Growth. II. Storage Triacylglycerols and Carbohydrates
Download1999
Abstract: Triacylglycerols (TAGs) comprised 59% of the total storage reserve in mature loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seeds; 80% of these TAGs were stored in the megagametophyte. The TAG breakdown in the seedling was initiated before radicle emergence (during germination), while in the...

Technology Stewardship and the Capabilities Approach: Assessing a Leadership Training Program for Agricultural Communities of Practice in Sri Lanka and Trinidad
Download2020-06-01
Gow, Gordon A., Dissanayeke, Uvasara, Jayathilake, Chandana, Chowdhury, Ataharul, Ramjattan, Jeet, Ganpat, Wayne, Isuri Kumarasinghe, Kumudu Ariyawanshe, Sanduni Rathnayake
This poster summarizes early results of a technology stewardship training program introduced with agricultural extension practitioners in Sri Lanka and the Caribbean. Technology stewardship is an approach adapted from the communities of practice literature that recognizes the importance,...
