Overall Declines In Child Poverty Mask Relatively Stable Rates Across States, Andrew P. Schaefer, Jess Carson, Marybeth J. Mattingly

Carsey Publications

In this brief, authors Andrew Schaefer, Jessica Carson, and Marybeth Mattingly use Census data released on September 15, 2016, from the American Community Survey--the only regular source for estimating yearly child poverty rates at, and below, the state level--to examine child poverty rates across the United States by place type, region, and state. They report that between 2014 and 2015, child poverty declined nationwide across rural areas, suburbs, and cities. As before, cities had the highest child poverty, followed closely by rural areas. Suburbs had the lowest rates. In thirteen states, child poverty declined since 2014; only Mississippi saw an …

Symbiotic Performance Of Diverse Frankia Strains On Salt-Stressed Casuarina Glauca And Casuarina Equisetifolia Plants, Mariama Ngom, Krystelle Gray, Nathalie Diagne, Rediet Oshone, Joel Fardoux, Hassen Gherbi, Valerie Hocher, Sergio Svistoonoff, Laurent Laplaze, Louis S. Tisa, Mame Oureye Sy, Antony Champion

Molecular, Cellular & Biomedical Sciences

Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing associations between Casuarina trees and the actinobacteria Frankia are widely used in agroforestry in particular for salinized land reclamation. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of salinity on the establishment of the actinorhizal symbiosis between C. glauca and two contrasting Frankia strains (salt sensitive; CcI3 vs. salt tolerant; CeD) and the role of these isolates in the salt tolerance of C. glauca and C. equisetifolia plants. We show that the number of root nodules decreased with increasing salinity levels in both plants inoculated with CcI3 and CeD. Nodule formation did not occur in seedlings …

Roles Of Mechanistic Target Of Rapamycin And Transforming Growth Factor-B Signaling In The Molting Gland (Y-Organ) Of The Blackback Land Crab, Gecarcinus Lateralis, Ali M. Abuhagr, Kyle S. Maclea, Megan R. Mudron, Sharon A. Chang, Ernest S. Chang, Donald L. Mykles

Life Sciences Faculty Scholarship

Molting in decapod crustaceans is controlled by molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), an eyestalk neuropeptide that suppresses production of ecdysteroids by a pair of molting glands (Y-organs or YOs). Eyestalk ablation (ESA) activates the YOs, which hypertrophy and increase ecdysteroid secretion. At mid premolt, which occurs 7–14 days post-ESA, the YO transitions to the committed state; hemolymph ecdysteroid titers increase further and the animal reaches ecdysis ~ 3 weeks post-ESA. Two conserved signaling pathways, mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), are expressed in the Gecarcinus lateralis YO. Rapamycin, an mTOR antagonist, inhibits YO ecdysteroidogenesis in vitro. In this …

Fewer Than Half Of Wic-Eligible Families Receive Wic Benefits, Kristin Smith

Carsey Publications

Research has shown that the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a successful and cost-effective program. Numerous studies find that WIC participation improves pre- and postnatal health outcomes; families’ overall nutrition; access to prenatal care, health care for children, and immunizations; and children’s cognitive development and academic achievement. Despite these important benefits, author Kristin Smith--using data from the 2015 Current Population Survey---reports that fewer than half of WIC income-eligible families with young children received WIC nutrition benefits in 2014. Among eligible families, receipt of WIC benefits was more likely among families in which the head …

Genetic Manipulation Of Putrescine Biosynthesis Reprograms The Cellular Transcriptome And The Metabolome., Andrew Francis Page, Leland J. Cseke, Rakesh Minocha, Swathi A. Turlapati, Gopi K. Podila, Alexander V. Ulanov, Zhong Li, Subhash C. Minocha

Faculty Publications

With the increasing interest in metabolic engineering of plants using genetic manipulation and gene editing technologies to enhance growth, nutritional value and environmental adaptation, a major concern is the potential of undesirable broad and distant effects of manipulating the target gene or metabolic step in the resulting plant. A comprehensive transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis of the product may shed some useful light in this regard. The present study used these two techniques with plant cell cultures to analyze the effects of genetic manipulation of a single step in the biosynthesis of polyamines because of their well-known roles in plant growth, …
