Microarray-Based Method For Detection Of Unknown Genetic Modifications, Torstein Tengs
Microarray-Based Method For Detection Of Unknown Genetic Modifications, Torstein Tengs
Dr. Torstein Tengs
Background
Due to the increased use of genetic modifications in crop improvement, there is a need to develop effective methods for the detection of both known and unknown transgene constructs in plants. We have developed a strategy for detection and characterization of unknown genetic modifications and we present a proof of concept for this method using Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa (rice). The approach relies on direct hybridization of total genomic DNA to high density microarrays designed to have probes tiled throughout a set of reference sequences.
Results
We show that by using arrays with 25 basepair probes covering both …

Life History And Courtship Behavior Of Black Perch, Embiotoca Jacksoni (Teleostomi: Embiotocidae), From Southern California, Bridgette Froeschke, Larry Allen, Daniel Pondella
Daniel Pondella
The black perch, Embiotoca jacksoni Agassiz, 1853, is a common reef fish associated with nearshore marine habitats of California, with the majority of the population occurring within the Southern California Bight. Black perch were collected throughout southern California from Santa Barbara to Carlsbad, including Santa Catalina Island, to determine their physical characteristics, growth, sex ratio, periodicity of reproduction, and length of gestation. Courtship observations were conducted using scuba along the King Harbor Breakwater in Redondo Beach, California, from January 2004 to December 2005 to verify periodicity of courting and associated reproductive behaviors. Specimens captured ranged from 75 to 220 mm …

Structure And Function Of Haemocytes In Two Marine Gastropods, Megathura Crenulata And Aplysia Californica., Gary Martin, Christopher Oates, Heather Tousignant, Heather Crabtree, Rachel Yamakawa
Gary Martin
Aplysia californica is an important mollusc for neurobiological research and Megathura crenulata is becoming valuable as the source of keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH) which shows promise in treating cancer, allergy and immunosuppression. The culture of these animals provides opportunities to assess their physiological responses to stress and disease. Molluscan haemocytes are known to be involved in a variety of physiological responses, yet the haemocytes of this opisthobranch and vetigastropod have not been characterized. The purpose of this study is to describe the morphology of these cells and summarize their functions based on a suite of assays previously developed on other …

Med19(Rox3) Regulates Intermodule Interactions In The Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Mediator Complex., Shamara Baidoobonso, Benjamin Guidi, Lawrence Myers
Shamara M Baidoobonso, PhD
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mediator is a 25-subunit complex that facilitates both transcriptional activation and repression. Structural and functional studies have divided Mediator subunits into four distinct modules. The Head, Middle, and Tail modules form the core functional Mediator complex, whereas a fourth, the Cyc-C module, is variably associated with the core. By purifying Mediator from a strain lacking the Med19(Rox3) subunit, we have found that a complex missing only the Med19(Rox3) subunit can be isolated under mild conditions. Additionally, we have established that the entire Middle module is released when the Deltamed19(rox3) Mediator is purified under more stringent conditions. In …
Dna Extraction From Resting Eggs Of The Clam Shrimp Eulimnadia Texana (Branchiopoda : Spinicaudata : Limnadiidae), R. Joel Duff, Chiara Benvenuto, Traci L. Branch, Stephen C. Weeks
Dna Extraction From Resting Eggs Of The Clam Shrimp Eulimnadia Texana (Branchiopoda : Spinicaudata : Limnadiidae), R. Joel Duff, Chiara Benvenuto, Traci L. Branch, Stephen C. Weeks
R. Joel Duff
Large branchiopod crustaceans inhabiting ephemeral ponds are well adapted to their highly unpredictable habitat with a life cycle that includes a short-lived adult stage and a long-lived, desiccation-resistant egg stage. One well studied large branchiopod is the clam shrimp Eulimnadia texana, an androdioecious species with populations comprised of males and self-compatible hermaphrodites. Likely due to the harsh environments in which the eggs are found, e.g., dry areas with high heat and high irradiation, extraction of DNA from individual eggs for genetic analyses can be problematic. Here we report a number of modifications that we have tested allowing for increased efficiency …

Water Uptake By Older Roots: Evidence From Desert Succulents, Gretchen North, E. Baker
Water Uptake By Older Roots: Evidence From Desert Succulents, Gretchen North, E. Baker
Gretchen North
Desert succulents are renowned for their rapid recovery of shoot function after periods of drought as a result of shoot succulence, root–shoot interactions, and key root properties. Near the base of the shoot, the proximal (generally older) roots appear to play a major role in the rapid uptake and delivery of water, especially after a period of soil drying when the rest of the root system has a lower hydraulic conductance. In all of the cacti, agaves, and yuccas examined to date, hydraulic conductance for the proximal root zone is unexpectedly high. Substantial water uptake by older roots of cacti …

Behavioral Avoidance Of Ultraviolet-B Radiation By Two Species Of Neotropical Poison-Dart Frogs, Barbara Han, Lee Kats, Rachel Pommerening, Ryan Ferrer, Marcia Murry-Ewers, Andrew Blaustein
Lee Kats
Many animals, plants, and microorganisms are harmed by ultraviolet-B radiation. In particular, several members of class amphibia are negatively affected by exposure to ultraviolet-B radiation. Exposure to ultraviolet-B radiation can cause death or various types of sublethal damage in amphibians. One mechanism to lessen the effect of harmful ultraviolet-B radiation is to limit exposure to sunlight behaviorally. Few studies have examined the behavioral sensitivity of adult amphibians to ultraviolet-B radiation. Using both field experiments and field observations, we found that two species of diurnal poison-dart frogs in Costa Rica (Dendrobates pumilio, D. auratus) consistently preferred areas in the field and …

Leaf Traits And Leaf Life Spans Of Two Xeric-Adapted Palmettos, Warren Abrahamson
Leaf Traits And Leaf Life Spans Of Two Xeric-Adapted Palmettos, Warren Abrahamson
Warren G. Abrahamson, II
Plants of nutrient-poor, arid environments often have leaf traits that include small size, sclerophylly, long life span, low nutrient concentration, and low photosynthetic rate. Hence, the success of two large-leaved palmettos in peninsular Florida’s seasonally xeric, nutrient-impoverished uplands seems anomalous, given that their leaves are orders of magnitude larger than the leaves of co-occurring species. An examination of leaf traits and leaf life spans across four vegetative associations differing in available light using a 16-yr data set showed that leaves of Serenoa repens and Sabal etonia had low rates of leaf production coupled with long leaf life spans reaching 3.5 …
