Application Of Green Fluorescent Protein As A Marker For Selection Of Transgenic Mouse Embryos Before Implantation, Haydar Bağiş, Levent Keski̇ntepe Jan 2001

Application Of Green Fluorescent Protein As A Marker For Selection Of Transgenic Mouse Embryos Before Implantation, Haydar Bağiş, Levent Keski̇ntepe

Turkish Journal of Biology

In this study, we evaluated the application of green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, for efficient selection of possible transgenic and non-mosaic mouse embryos after microinjection. We injected 353 one-cell mouse zygotes with a DNA fragment carrying Gfp gene under the control of \beta-actin gene promoter. Eighty-seven per cent (307 embryos) of the injected embryos survived after microinjection. The surviving embryos were cultured for an additional day and then analysed for detection of GFP expression using a standard fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) filter set attached to a microscope. In this analysis, 34 % of the two-cell stage embryos …


Nitric Oxide Synthase In The Skeletal Muscle And Arterioles Of Rats With Streptozotosin-Induced Diabetes Mellitus, Ci̇han Demi̇rci̇, Kadri̇ye Akgün Dar, İlhan Uyaner Jan 2001

Nitric Oxide Synthase In The Skeletal Muscle And Arterioles Of Rats With Streptozotosin-Induced Diabetes Mellitus, Ci̇han Demi̇rci̇, Kadri̇ye Akgün Dar, İlhan Uyaner

Turkish Journal of Biology

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) that uses NADPH as a cofactor is an enzyme which produces nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. Endothelial-derived (eNOS), inducible (iNOS) and neuronal (nNOS) nitric oxide synthase are 3 known isoforms. Endothelial NO regulates the vascular tonus and causes the dilatation of vessels, while NOS localized in the sarcolemma of striated muscle plays a role in the regulation of muscle hemodynamics. Many authors have found differences in NO production in some pathological conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension and atherosclerosis. In this study, NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d) was histochemically employed to explore any changes in NO production associated …

Effects Of Photoperiod And Melatonin Infusions On Body Weight In Pinealectomized Juvenile Siberian Hamsters (Phodopus Sungorus), Bülent Gündüz, Alper Karakaş Jan 2001

Effects Of Photoperiod And Melatonin Infusions On Body Weight In Pinealectomized Juvenile Siberian Hamsters (Phodopus Sungorus), Bülent Gündüz, Alper Karakaş

Turkish Journal of Biology

We examined the effects of daily melatonin (Mel) infusions in pinealectomized prepubertal male Siberian hamsters in three different conditions. In one study we investigated the body weight maturation response to one hour daily infusions of 10 ng, 25 ng, or 50 ng of Mel in pinealectomized hamsters. Animals received, at day 15 of life, programmed subcutaneous infusions of Mel or vehicle at one of five time points (1900-2000, 2000-2100, 2100-2200, 2400-0100, and 0300-0400 hours) for 30 days. In long-day-born (16L) animals, Mel infusion right after lights off (2000-2100 hours) significantly inhibited body growth; this dose was ineffective at other times. …

Molecular Characterization Of The Gene Encoding For The Salivaricin B Activity And Its Flanking Sequences, Osman Çataloluk Jan 2001

Molecular Characterization Of The Gene Encoding For The Salivaricin B Activity And Its Flanking Sequences, Osman Çataloluk

Turkish Journal of Biology

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce many different antimicrobial proteins, some of which have potential in food preservation. The molecular analysis of bacteriocins has gained much attention and has advanced rapidly in recent years, and it became routine to analyze the way in which bacteriocins are expressed and translocated. Since they are associated with foods of plant and animal origins, the shared interest is that they can be utilized as a vector to deliver the active constituents at the target in the gastrointestinal tract after digestion and be used in therapy. In this respect, the molecular pattern of the expression and …

Faculty Response To The Report Of A Comprehensive Issues Review For The Southeast Research And Extension Center And The Southeast Extension District

Southeast Research and Extension Center: Reports and Administration

A) The Review Team supports the planning process that was utilized by the Faculty/Staff to identify and define issues for this review. We support the continuance of issue teams in Southeast Nebraska. We will not name the teams but leave that to the faculty and Dr. Cantrell to determine. We endorse the identification of program coordinators to head the teams. It is our suggestion that Dr. Cantrell and the identified program coordinators clearly define these roles in job descriptions, and plan for an ongoing communication between the district administration and the teams. It probably goes without saying, but we would …


American Hookworm Antiquity (& Response), Karl Reinhard, Adauto Araújo, Luis Fernando Ferreira, C. E. A. Coimbra Jr., Kathleen Fuller Jan 2001

American Hookworm Antiquity (& Response), Karl Reinhard, Adauto Araújo, Luis Fernando Ferreira, C. E. A. Coimbra Jr., Kathleen Fuller

Karl Reinhard Publications

Kathleen Fuller (Medical Anthropology 17:297-308 [1997]) presents a refutation of the evidence of ancylostomids (hookworms) in the New World. She argues that the life cycle of hookworms limits them to warm, moist environments and, thus, confines their prehistoric distribution to the Old World. Smith (1990) emphasizes that very little is known about the ecological parameters of egg and larval survival and that eggs and larvae can survive in cold environments. Fuller’s hookworm life cycle is oversimplistic and does not address the diverse array of infection modes available to Ancylostoma duodenale. This species is capable of mucosal penetration and, therefore, …


The Non-Indigenous Ant, Solenopsis Invicta, Reduces Loggerhead Shrike And Native Insect Abundance, Craig R. Allen, R. Scott Lutz, Tim Lockley, Sherman A. Phillips Jr., Stephen Demarais Jan 2001

The Non-Indigenous Ant, Solenopsis Invicta, Reduces Loggerhead Shrike And Native Insect Abundance, Craig R. Allen, R. Scott Lutz, Tim Lockley, Sherman A. Phillips Jr., Stephen Demarais

Nebraska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit: Staff Publications

The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren) is an aggressive, non-indigenous species that is a threat to native biota in the southeastern United States. We determined the effect of S. invicta on loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus L.) abundance and investigated a possible mechanism of impact, which is a reduction in insect prey availability. We used a fire ant bait (hydramethylnon) to reduce fire ant populations on one randomly chosen member of each of five pairs of 202-ha study areas in the Texas coastal Bend region, and also measured shrike relative abundance and a volumetric index of insect …

Red Imported Fire Ants: Impact On Biodiversity, Daniel P. Wojcik, Craig R. Allen, Richard J. Brenner, Elizabeth A. Forys, Donald P. Jouvenaz, R. Scott Lutz

Nebraska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit: Staff Publications

The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren (hereafter referred to as imported fire ant), long considered a regional problem, is receiving renewed attention nationwide, with infestations found in Arizona, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, and Virginia (Mitchell 1996). Recently, infestations discovered in several regions of California caused great public concern (Brennan 1999, Schrader 1999). Initially, infestations appeared to be isolated in almond groves in Kern County; presumably these infestations originated from bee hives transported interstate for the purpose of pollinating crops. Separately, ornamental plants arriving in Las Vegas, NV, were infested with fire ants, and records showed that the point …

Climate Change And Extreme Weather Events - Implications For Food Production, Plant Diseases, And Pests, Cynthia Rosenzweig, Ana Iglesius, X. B. Yang, Paul R. Epstein, Eric Chivian

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Publications

Current and future energy use from burning of fossil fuels and clearing of forests for cultivation can have profound effects on the global environment, agriculture, and the availability of low-cost, high-quality food for humans. Individual farmers and consumers are expected to be affected by changes in global and regional climate. The agricultural sector in both developing and developed areas needs to understand what is at stake and to prepare for the potential for change wisely.
Despite tremendous improvements in technology and crop yield potential, food production remains highly dependent on climate, because solar radiation, temperature, and precipitation are the main …


Food Items And Feeding Rates For Wild Whooping Crane Colts In Wood Buffalo National Park, Douglas G. Bergeson, Mark Bradley, Geoffrey L. Holroyd Jan 2001

Food Items And Feeding Rates For Wild Whooping Crane Colts In Wood Buffalo National Park, Douglas G. Bergeson, Mark Bradley, Geoffrey L. Holroyd

Proceedings of the North American Crane Workshop

Food habits of 5 whooping crane (Orus americana) colts in 4 nest ponds were recorded in the days following hatching in Wood Buffalo National Park (WBNP). In total, 93 hours of observations were made from blinds that were 60-80 m away from the nest. Spotting scopes and binoculars were used to identify food items. The adults were observed bringing the following items to the colts: adult dragonflies (Libellula sp., and Aeshna sp.), fish (Culaea inconstans), diving beetles (Rhantus binotatus, Acilius semisulcatus, Oraphoderus occidentalis, and Dytiscus alaskanus), damselflies (Enallagma sp., and Lestes sp.), …


Sandhill Crane Abundance At Grays Lake, Idaho, L J. Ball, Jane E. Austin, Adonia R. Henry Jan 2001

Sandhill Crane Abundance At Grays Lake, Idaho, L J. Ball, Jane E. Austin, Adonia R. Henry

Proceedings of the North American Crane Workshop

We initiated a study on the breeding ecology of greater sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis tabida) in the Grays Lake basin ofIdaho in 1997. Interest in the status of crane populations at Grays Lake is high; consequently, we present preliminary information on estimated size of the population, changes since the 1970s, and potential environmental factors involved. Drewien (1973) counted an average of549 cranes in the spring and estimated 250 nesting pairs in 1970-71. Number of nesting pairs reportedly increased 33% (to 332) by 1982 in response to intensive management, then declined 40-60% by 1996 (Drewien 1997, and Homocker Wildlife …

Nesting Ecology Of Sandhill Cranes At Grays Lake, Idaho, Jane E. Austin, L. J. Ball, Adonia R. Henry

Proceedings of the North American Crane Workshop

We examined the nesting ecology of greater sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis tabida) at Grays Lake, Idaho during 1997-99 to detennine the effects of nest-site characteristics and land use on crane nest success. These are preliminary results from 3 years of a 4-year study. Crane nests were located in portions of the Grays Lake basin from early May through late June each year (n = 131 in 1997; n = 131 in 1998; n = 143 in 1999). Apparent nest success varied among years (54% in 1997, 71% in 1998, and 53% in 1999; overall average of 59%). We …


Translocation Of Florida Sandhill Cranes To Georgia, Wesley A. Abler, Stephen A. Nesbitt Jan 2001

Translocation Of Florida Sandhill Cranes To Georgia, Wesley A. Abler, Stephen A. Nesbitt

Proceedings of the North American Crane Workshop

Wild Florida sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis pratensis) were captured in Florida during 3 years and translocated to Grand Bay Wildlife Management Area (GBWMA), Georgia, in an attempt to establish a resident population of Florida sandhill cranes in a location with suitable habitat but no known population of resident sandhill cranes. Translocated second-year subadult cranes commingled with migratory greater sandhill cranes (G. c. tabida) yet remained on GBWMA each year after the migratory birds left the area. Twenty-one of 35 released cranes were visually identified at least 5 months after release, 3 cranes more than 15 months …

Results Of The Second (1996) Experiment To Lead Cranes On Migration Behind A Motorized Ground Vehicle, David H. Ellis, Brian Clauss, Tsuyoshi Watanabe, R. Curt Mykut, Matt Shawkey, Daniel P. Mummert, Daniel T. Sprague, Catherine H. Ellis, F. Benjamin Trahan

Proceedings of the North American Crane Workshop

Fourteen greater sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis tabida) were trained to follow a specially-equipped truck and 12 were led along a ca 620-Ian route from Camp Navajo in northern Arizona to the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge near the ArizonalMexico border. Ten survived the trek, 380 Ian of which were flown, although only a few cranes flew every stage of the route. Major problems during the migration were powerline collisions (ca 15, 2 fatal) and overheating (when air temperatures exceeded ca 25° C). The tenacity of the cranes in following both in 1995 and 1996 under unfavorable conditions (e.g., …
