Loss-Of-Function Of Constitutive Expresser Of Pathogenesis Related Genes5 Affects Potassium Homeostasis In Arabidopsis Thaliana, Monica Borghi, Ana Rus, David E. Salt

Biology Faculty Publications

Here, we demonstrate that the reduction in leaf K+ observed in a mutant previously identified in an ionomic screen of fast neutron mutagenized Arabidopsis thaliana is caused by a loss-of-function allele of CPR5, which we name cpr5-3. This observation establishes low leaf K+ as a new phenotype for loss-of-function alleles of CPR5. We investigate the factors affecting this low leaf K+ in cpr5 using double mutants defective in salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) signalling, and by gene expression analysis of various channels and transporters. Reciprocal grafting between cpr5 and Col-0 was used to determine the relative importance of …

Winter Squash, Brianne Sherwood

USU Student Organic Farm Newsletter

Winter squash is one of the most fun vegetables of the season because there are so many shapes and sizes! Butternut is probably the most popular winter squash and is a very delicious one, but there are so many more. Hubbard, Buttercup, Sqaghetti, Delicata, and Banana squash are a few to try this season. Winter squash is named as such because it keeps over the winter months, not because it becomes ripe in winter (even though summer squash becomes ripe in summer).

Corn, Brianne Sherwood, Amanda Hawks

USU Student Organic Farm Newsletter

We have so much corn right now it's coming out of our ears (great pun, right?). And it's SO incredibly cheap! This is probably because the US produces 42% of the world's corn! Most of it is used for animal feed, but other uses include exporting to other countries, human food, seed, and industrial uses such as ethanol production. Because there is so much corn available here in the U.S. You can find it in a lot more foods than you think. It's in peanut butter, snack foods, soft drinks, multivitamins, ketchup, mustard, ground beef, and frozen yogurt just to …

Educational Policies Committee Program Proposal, Emma Eccles Jones College Of Education And Human Services, September 16, 2011 – Heath Science Emphasis Request, Utah State University

Educational Policies Committee

The Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation in the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services has for many years offered a program in Health Education and Promotion (previously named Health Education Specialist) to prepare students to either work in public and private school systems as health teachers (School Health Education emphasis) or to work as health education specialists in public health departments, medical care settings, corporate wellness programs, and non-profit agencies (Community Health emphasis). In recent years students have expressed an interest in this degree who intend to pursue further study in a health or medical …

Using High Intensity Ultrasound As A Tool To Change The Functional Properties Of Interesterified Soybean Oil, Yubin Ye, Ashwini Wagh, Silvana Martini

Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

High intensity ultrasound (HIU) was used to change the crystallization behavior, generate small crystals, and improve the texture of a low saturated shortening (interesterified soybean oil). Samples were crystallized at different temperatures (26, 28, 30, and 32 °C) without and with the application of HIU. Different acoustic power levels (110, 72, 61, 54, and 44 W) were used. Results show that higher acoustic powers had a greater effect on crystal size reduction, induced crystallization, and generated harder, more elastic and viscous materials. These effects were more significant when HIU was applied in the presence of crystals and when the sample …

Eggplant, Elisabeth Inman

USU Student Organic Farm Newsletter

Eggplants come in many different colors, shapes and sizes. Although we most often see the dark purple oblong ones, the eggplant was actually named for a white, egg-shaped variety. Each type has a little different texture and flavor and can range from very small to quite large. Generally, larger eggplants with more seeds are more bitter than smaller ones. Eggplants belong to the nightshade family and are related to tomatoes, sweet peppers, and potatoes. They grow similarly to tomatoes, hanging from a vine on a plant near the ground.

Economic And Social Impacts Of Wildfires And Invasive Plants In American Deserts: Lessons From The Great Basin, Mark W. Brunson, John Tanaka

Articles

Research on the impacts of wildfire and invasive plants in rangelands has focused on biophysical rather than human dimensions of these environmental processes. We offer a synthetic perspective on economic and social aspects of wildfire and invasive plants in American deserts, focusing on the Great Basin because greater research attention has been given to the effects of cheatgrass expansion than to other desert wildfire/invasion cycles. We focus first on impacts at the level of the individual decision-maker, then on impacts experienced at the human community or larger socio-political scales. Economic impacts of wildfire differ from those of invasive grasses because …

Comercializacion Directa De Alimentos Locales: Diferencias Entre Los Consumidores De Los Csa Y Los Consumidores De Los Mercados De Granjeros Y Agricultores, Kynda Curtis

Los programas de extensión enfocados en asistir a los agricultores en movilizar o expandir sus esfuerzos de mercadeo directo a menudo consideran todos los mercados de comercialización directa (mercado de agricultores, programas de agricultura sustentada por la comunidad (CSA por sus siglas en inglés), puestos de granja, etc.) y consumidores asociados como una canal o grupo de comercialización general.

Cabbage, Elisabeth Inman, Keenen Crummitt

USU Student Organic Farm Newsletter

The cabbage varieties we have on the farm this year are Bilko cabbage (which is similar to Napa cabbage), tatsoi, pak choi (a type of Chinese cabbage), and Red Express cabbage (which is a red cabbage variety). Cabbage is a relative of Brussels sprouts, which are almost identical in form, as well as broccoli, kohlrabi, cauliflower, collard greens and kale. Winter cabbage (another cabbage variety) can withstand winter conditions in mild regions such as in the southern United States, so cabbage can be enjoyed all year long in many parts of the world.

Green Beans, Brianne Sherwood, Elizabeth Inman

USU Student Organic Farm Newsletter

Green beans are thought to have originated in Peru and spread through South and Central America by Indian tribes. Spanish explorers introduced them into Europe in the 16th century. Surveys indicate that 60% of commercially grown green beans are produced in the United States. Particularly, Illinois, Michigan, New York, and Wisconsin produce the greatest amount of green beans in the United States.

Cucumbers, Brianne Sherwood

USU Student Organic Farm Newsletter

There is a reason for the saying "cool as a cucumber." Cucumbers can be 20 degrees cooler on the inside than the outside temperature. It loves sunshine and is one of summer's favorite fruits (yes, it is a fruit because it has seeds. Interesting). Cucumbers are a member of the gourd family, which also includes pumpkins, zucchini, watermelon, and other squashes. Cucumbers are available year round, but honestly I wouldn't touch a cucumber until summertime, which is about August in Logan. If you think you don't like cucumbers, try a local one. It may change your mind. It certainly changed …
