The Impact of Self-Cycling Fermentation on the Production of Shikimic Acid in Populations of Engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae
DownloadFall 2015
Shikimic acid is an intermediary metabolite in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids in plants and microorganisms. It is also a precursor for the production of specialty chemical ingredients used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and healthcare products. However, the current commercial method of...

The Oxa2 protein of Neurospora crassa plays a critical role in the biogenesis of cytochrome oxidase and defines a ubiquitous subbranch of the Oxa1/YidC/Alb3 protein family
Download2004
Herrmann, J.M., Nargang, F.E., Neupert, W., Funes, S.
Proteins of the Oxa1/YidC/Alb3 family mediate the insertion of proteins into membranes of mitochondria, bacteria, and chloroplasts. Here we report the identification of a second gene of the Oxa1/YidC/Alb3 family in the genome of Neurospora crassa, which we have named oxa2. Its gene product, Oxa2,...

The role of auxin and indole glucosinolates in defense against clubroot infection in Brassica napus
DownloadFall 2023
Abstract Clubroot, caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most damaging diseases of the Brassicaceae. Glucosinolates (GSLs) are a group of defense-related secondary metabolites in cruciferous plants that have been associated with clubroot disease. The breakdown of...

Type-1 Brassica napus Diacylglycerol Acyltransferases: Enzyme Characterization and Molecular Tools for Increasing Storage Lipid Production in Yeast
DownloadFall 2015
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the final step in the acyl-CoA- dependent biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG). The level of DGAT activity may have a substantial effect on the flow of carbon into TAG in many organisms. In plants, yeast, and animals, two families of...

Uncovering the Molecular Mechanisms behind Triacylglycerol Biosynthesis in Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)
DownloadFall 2015
Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) seed oil contains approximately 45%-65% of α-linolenic acid (ALA) and 15-29 % of linoleic acid (LA), and is one of the richest natural sources of these polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Due to its high amounts of PUFAs, especially ALA, flax oil has a number of...

Understanding the role of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on postpartum reproductive function and embryo development in dairy cows
DownloadSpring 2016
The objectives of this work were to investigate the influence of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on feed intake, calf birth weight, maternal and neonatal fatty acid profiles, milk production, postpartum reproductive function, early embryonic development and its transcriptome profile in...

Use of Rutabaga (Brassica napus var. napobrassica) for the Improvement of Canadian Spring Canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadSpring 2016
Spring-type oilseed Brassica napus L., commonly known as canola, has become the cornerstone of agricultural production in Western Canada, with the total acreage seeded increasing in each production year over the past two decades. However, the narrow genetic base of spring B. napus canola coupled...

Use of Turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapifera) and Rutabaga (B. napus var. napobrassica) for the Improvement of Clubroot Resistance in Spring B. napus Canola
DownloadFall 2022
Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most serious threats to spring Brassica napus canola production in Canada. Growing of clubroot-resistant cultivars is the key to control this disease. The genetic base of the Canadian spring B. napus canola for clubroot...
