Seedling Uptake And Fate Of Soil-Applied Capsaicin, A Potential Browse Deterrent, Carmen K. Dobbs, Joshua L Sloan, Douglass F. Jacobs
Seedling Uptake And Fate Of Soil-Applied Capsaicin, A Potential Browse Deterrent, Carmen K. Dobbs, Joshua L Sloan, Douglass F. Jacobs
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium
Seedling damage due to browse constitutes a major challenge to afforestation and reforestation efforts in the Central Hardwood Forest region of the USA. Many efforts have been made to deter herbivores, but the costs, implementation methods, and relative ineffectiveness of existing mitigation options often preclude operational implementation. An alternate means of deterring wildlife browse is capsaicin, a hot pepper concentrate, which has been reported to decrease herbivory of tree seedlings and is available in a controlled-release form designed to act systemically following application to the soil and subsequent plant uptake. However, the degree to which seedlings are capable of absorbing …

The Effect Of Transient Hmg-Coa Reductase And 1-Deoxy-D-Xylulose-5-Phosphate Synthase Overexpression On Terpene Production In Transgenic Tomato Fruits, Scott A. Gentry, Michael Gutensohn, Laura Henry, Natalia Dudareva
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium
Isoprenoids are secondary metabolites that control numerous plant functions including signaling, growth, photosynthesis, and membrane structure. The bioengineering of isoprenoid synthesis could produce plants with a variety of beneficial traits. Plants form isoprenoids using two different pathways, the mevalonate (MVA) pathway and the methylerithritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, which cooperate via metabolic cross-talk. Transgenic tomato lines expressing both the plastidic and cytosolic forms of the snapdragon nerolidol/linalool terpene synthase under a fruit ripening specific promoter were transiently transformed to overexpress key enzymes in the two isoprenoid pathways. Hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) is the rate limiting enzyme in the MVA pathway that …

Development Of Electron Microscopy Analysis And Simulation Tools For Nanohub, Mingxuan Lu, Chang Wan Han, Benjamin P. Haley, Volkan Ortalan
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium
Electron microscopy has a crucial role in the field of materials science and structural biology. Although electron microscopy gives lots of important results and findings, some additional simulations and image processing/reconstruction is required to get more information from the data that are collected from the experiments. For this purpose, researchers are using IMOD1 and QSTEM2 for electron microscopy analysis and simulation. IMOD is a set of programs used for tomographic reconstruction and 3D visualization and QSTEM is used for quantitative simulations of TEM and STEM images. However, IMOD and QSTEM are hard to install or use for beginners …

Regulation Of Mor By Different Abiotic Stresses In Arabidopsis Thaliana, Luke Stepan, Rucha Karve, Anjali Iyer-Pascuzzi
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium
The climate is changing and as a consequence the environment is becoming hotter and drier. How different plants will react to these changes is unknown. Identification of genes involved in stress tolerance can help predict plant-environment interactions and lead to stress tolerant plants. The MOR gene (Modulator Of Root ROS, ROS = Reactive Oxygen Species) in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a transcription factor that may regulate stress responses, as mor mutants are drought tolerant. We hypothesized that MOR expression changes in response to different abiotic stress stimuli. We tested MOR expression in response to salt (NaCl), abscisic acid …

Human Dimensions Of Puget Sound Ecosystem Health And Recovery: Social Sciences Scale And Scope, Mary Rozance, Kathleen Wolf
Human Dimensions Of Puget Sound Ecosystem Health And Recovery: Social Sciences Scale And Scope, Mary Rozance, Kathleen Wolf
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
The Puget Sound Basin is surrounded by human settlements that range from small resource-dependent communities, to metropolitan areas that are experiencing rapid population growth. Scientific studies in the biophysical disciplines have documented the Puget Sound's ecological decline, established baseline conditions for recovery, and identified human-based sources of ecosystem impacts. The Puget Sound region is a complex socio-ecological system thus making equal attention to human dimensions an important goal, even a necessity. Social scientists across a variety of disciplines (such as economics, geography, anthropology, sociology, and psychology) can contribute to large-scale ecosystem health and recovery in two general ways. First, studies …
Improving Access To Regional Conservation Assessments Through An Online Encyclopedia, Jeff Rice
Improving Access To Regional Conservation Assessments Through An Online Encyclopedia, Jeff Rice
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
Landscape and watershed-scale conservation assessments provide a foundational understanding of the Salish Sea ecosystem and are important tools for environmental protection and restoration. In recent years, many assessments have been created within the Puget Sound watershed, but there is currently no comprehensive source of information compiling or describing these efforts. In many cases, this information is widely scattered across the Web or is simply not available online. This presentation will describe how the University of Washington Encyclopedia of Puget Sound, in collaboration with the Puget Sound Partnership and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is creating an online compendium …

Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
The Puget Sound Alexandrium Harmful Algal Bloom (PS-AHAB: www.tiny.cc/psahab) program, funded by NOAA/ECOHAB, seeks to understand environmental controls on the benthic (cyst) and planktonic life stages of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella, and disentangle the effects of climate pathways on the timing and location of blooms. Spatially detailed mapping of winter surface sediment cyst distributions in 2011, 2012, and 2013 found the highest cyst concentrations in Bellingham Bay in the north and Quartermaster Harbor in central Puget Sound. However, the viability of cysts at these seed bed areas is low – with fewer than 54% of cysts germinating when incubated …

Salmonid Early Response To Restored Freshwater Floodplain, Erin Morgan, Jeffery R. Cordell, Lauren Rich
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
Shortly after the construction of the Hansen Creek floodplain restoration project in 2010-2011, we conducted a pilot study of the initial use of the site by juvenile salmonids and the early development of invertebrate communities. We found that juvenile Coho salmon collected from the restored floodplain during periodic inundation events had higher instantaneous rations (a measure of feeding intensity) than Coho collected during regular monthly sampling in the creek channels. The floodplain site also had consistently higher insect abundances. Applying the data and lessons learned from the pilot study, we undertook a more comprehensive 13-month study of Hansen creek and …

Adding Texture And Relief To Seattle’S New Seawall, An Application Of Ecological Engineering, Jeffery R. Cordell, Jason David Toft
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
The aftermath of the 2001 Nisqually earthquake revealed that Seattle’s seawall was decaying and in need of replacement. The resulting seawall replacement project presented an opportunity to replace vertical featureless walls with more complex and productive habitat. Several years before the new seawall was designed, the City of Seattle invited University of Washington biologists to participate in developing concepts for improved seawall habitat. This resulted in collaborations with several City of Seattle departments, during which we designed, deployed, and evaluated large habitat panels that tested several types of slopes and textures. Four years of monitoring algae, sessile invertebrates, and epibenthic …

Analysis Of Current Clinical Antiviral Treatment Approaches And Medications And Related Suggestions For Future Research, Daniel Sunderland
CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium
Viral pathogens present researchers, physicians, and public health workers with the challenges of developing new treatments in an every-changing landscape of antiviral drug resistance. This paper outlines the basis of current knowledge in virology, how that knowledge is applied when developing treatments such as integrase and protease inhibitors, neuraminidase inhibitors, nucleotide analogs, and others, and considers the rates of resistance of the target viruses to those treatments. There is also some consideration of immunomodulatory treatments and the potential of viral vectors as a means of understanding different immune responses to viruses and the direct effects that viruses can have on …

Identification Of Water Kefir Microbial Composition And Rapidly Growing Yeast, Wei Ma
CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium
Products of microbial fermentation such as probiotic yogurt have been found to confer health benefits, such as inhibiting fungal and bacterial growth, prevention of oral, mammary neoplasia and multidrug-resistant myeloid leukemia. Water kefir, or tibicos, is a type of symbiotic culture of yeast and bacteria that shows potential to be used as preventative and chemotherapeutic agent against cancer. Here, we study water kefir in terms of its microbial composition to determine the species of microorganism responsible for producing the proposed antineoplastic extracellular polymeric substance, using both culture-dependent and independent techniques. Selective and non-selective media were used to promote the growth …
Don't Drip & Drive- Greasing The Skids With Social Science To Prevent Vehicle Leaks, Stef Frenzl
Don't Drip & Drive- Greasing The Skids With Social Science To Prevent Vehicle Leaks, Stef Frenzl
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
Over 7 million quarts of motor oil are dripped onto streets and highways in the Puget Sound Basin each year, resulting in over $53 million worth of motor oil going down storm drains each year. But it’s not only money that’s lost. Toxic, petroleum-based oil, grease and other fluids such as transmission, power steering, brake and windshield wiper fluids, often leak from vehicles, and these contaminants are carried by stormwater to streams, rivers and Puget Sound, where they accumulate in sediments, harm water quality, and harm or kill aquatic life. The Washington Department of Ecology has identified leaky vehicles as …

Patterns And Drivers Of Nearshore Particulate Organic Matter Composition, Alexander Lowe, Aaron Winson Elias Galloway
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
Suspended particulate organic matter (POM) is a primary food source for benthic and pelagic suspension feeders in aquatic ecosystems. POM is potentially composed of many sources, including phytoplankton, bacteria, zooplankton, and macrophyte (seaweed and seagrass) and terrestrial detritus. The relative importance of these sources to POM consumers is debated, in large part due to differing interpretations of stable isotope and fatty acid biomarkers. We investigated POM composition in the San Juan Archipelago using multiple methods including visual quantification of living and detrital components, multiple stable isotope (MSI) and fatty acid (FA) analyses. Sampling was conducted at multiple temporal and spatial …
The Sound Behavior Index: Tracking Long Term Environmental Behavior Change, Dave Ward
The Sound Behavior Index: Tracking Long Term Environmental Behavior Change, Dave Ward
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
With growing numbers of programs devoted to environmental behavior change, there is a corresponding need for measures of behavior change at a variety of scales. This presentation describes the “Sound Behavior Index”, an ongoing behavior change measure developed for the Puget Sound region. It tracks 28 residential-scale practices that can affect water quality and aquatic habitat. The index is based on a survey conducted every two years among a statistical sample of the region’s 4.5 million residents. It asks about specific, measurable, repetitive behaviors, that are driven by personal choice. The Sound Behavior Index distills the region’s environmental performance into …
