Invasive non-native species (INS) are found in every city around the globe, but their impacts in urban settings as biological agents of visual pollution that block views of natural landscapes and disconnect citizens from nature are not as often addressed as comprehensively as their impacts in natural areas or agricultural settings. The multiple impacts of INS in cities make them ideal candidates for aspects of Civic Ecology Practice, where local environmental stewardship action is taken to enhance green infrastructure and community well-being in urban and other human-dominated systems. We present details of a community driven program focused on removal of …
The Role Of Light In Mnium Cuspidatum Hypersensitive Response Defense Mechanisms To Pythium Irrequlare Pathogen Infection, William Andrew Weldon
The Role Of Light In Mnium Cuspidatum Hypersensitive Response Defense Mechanisms To Pythium Irrequlare Pathogen Infection, William Andrew Weldon
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Moss, and all plants in general, are constantly defending themselves against pathogenic infections from viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Defense mechanisms require energy from compounds such as ATP and thus, are driven in part by photosynthesis. However, mosses typically grow in low light areas. Therefore, I investigated the extent of light dependency of the HR defense mechanisms of Mnium cuspidatum in response to infection by the pathogen Pythium irregulare. First, I conducted a field study on the Butler University campus in order to identify the typical light environment for growth of.M. cuspidatum '[vPl]interms of both photometric and infrared/far-infrared light readings. After …
