Genome-wide comparative analysis of flowering-related genes in arabidopsis, wheat, and barley
Download2015
Hu, Zhiqiu, Yang, Rong-Cai, Peng, Fred Y.
Early flowering is an important trait influencing grain yield and quality in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in short-season cropping regions. However, due to large and complex genomes of these species, direct identification of flowering genes and their molecular...

Dennis, Jonathan J., Stothard, Paul, Lynch, Karlene H.
Background The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is comprised of at least seventeen Gram-negative species that cause infections in cystic fibrosis patients. Because BCC bacteria are broadly antibiotic resistant, phage therapy is currently being investigated as a possible alternative treatment...

Glucose-regulated glucagon secretion requires insulin receptor expression in pancreatic α-cells
Download2005
Chan, Catherine B., Wheeler, Michael B., Asghar, Zeenat, Diao, Jingyu
The insulin receptor (IR) and its signaling appear to be essential for insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. However, much less is known about the role of the IR in α-cells. To assess the role of the IR in glucagon and insulin secretion, we engineered adeno-viruses for high efficiency small...

Glutamine supplementation improves intestinal barrier function in a weaned piglet model of Escherichia coli infection
Download2011
Johnson, Ian R., Ewaschuk, Julia B., Murdoch, Gordon K., Field, Catherine J., Madsen, Karen L.
The weaning period is associated with an increased prevalence of gastrointestinal infection in many species. Glutamine (Gln) has been shown to improve intestinal barrier function and immune function in both in vivo and in vitro models. The objective of the present study was to determine the...

Harnessing cross-species alignment to discover SNPs and generate a draft genome sequence of a bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis)
Download2015
Moore, Stephen S., Miller, Joshua M., Coltman, David W., Liao, Xiaoping, Stothard, Paul
Background Whole genome sequences (WGS) have proliferated as sequencing technology continues to improve and costs decline. While many WGS of model or domestic organisms have been produced, a growing number of non-model species are also being sequenced. In the absence of a reference, construction...

Intake of antioxidants through diet is known to be important in reducing oxidative damage in cells and improving human health. Although eggs are known for their exceptional, nutritional quality, they are not generally considered as antioxidant foods. This review aims to establish the importance...

Heterologous expression of flax PHOSPHOLIPID:DIACYLGLYCEROL CHOLINEPHOSPHOTRANSFERASE (PDCT) increases polyunsaturated fatty acid content in yeast and Arabidopsis seeds
Download2015
Weselake, Randall J., Mietkiewska, Elzbieta, Pan, Xue, Singer, Stacy D., Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Wickramarathna, Aruna D.
Background Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an agriculturally important crop with seed oil enriched in α-linolenic acid (18:3 cisΔ9, 12, 15; ALA). This polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) is the major determinant for the quality of flax seed oil in food, nutraceuticals and industrial applications....

High adiposity is associated cross-sectionally with low self-concept and body size dissatisfaction among indigenous Cree schoolchildren in Canada
Download2013
Raine, Kim D., Ridley, Denise, Maximova, Katerina M., Willows, Noreen D.
Background Obesity and mental health problems are prevalent among indigenous children in Canada and the United States. In this cross-sectional study the associations between adiposity and body size satisfaction, body image and self-concept were examined in indigenous children in grades four to...

High grain diets perturb rumen and plasma metabolites and induce inflammatory responses in early lactation dairy cows
Download2007
Emmanuel, D.G.V., Shanthipoosan, S., Ametaj, B.N.
Immediately after parturition dairy cows are fed diets containing high proportions of grain which are associated with high incidence of metabolic disorders. However, the reason behind these effects is not clear. The goal of this study was to investigate metabolic and immune responses of early...

High-fructose feeding of streptozotocin-diabetic rats is associated with increased cataract formation and increased oxidative stress in the kidney
Download2000
Sivak, J. , Storr, K. C., Carlson, J. C., Bell, R. C., Herbert, K.
We examined the effects of high-fructose (FR) feeding on the development of diabetic complications in the lens and the kidney of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. Male Wistar Furth rats were treated with one of two doses of STZ (HIGH STZ, 55 mg/kg body weight; MOD STZ, 35 mg/kg body weight) or...
