Pvps And Qsas Opportunities To Addvalue To South Dakota Cattle, Russ Daly

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

The opening of the export market to Japan for cattle less than 20 months of age is a potential opportunity for South Dakota cattle raisers to add value to their calf crop. In order to qualify for this market, calves need to be age verified through programs already in place through the USDA. In most cases, when cattle are age verified through birth dates, they are also verified to a particular source (or farm), thus the term “age and source verified.” Cattle that have been age and source verified may bring a premium in certain markets, but premiums are subject …

Feeding Camelina Sativa And Enhancing Omega-3 Fatty Acid Levels In Market-Age Turkey Hens, David Frame, Matt Palmer, Robert Ward, Silvana Martini

All Current Publications

Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz (camelina) is an oilseed producing plant in the Family Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) originating from the Mediterranean to Central Asia. There is increasing interest in converting waste cooking oil and oil produced from oilseed crops, such as camelina, into biofuels in order to decrease dependence on petroleum products for fuel sources. The interest for growing oilseed crops in Utah is growing as well. Camelina sativa is a low input oilseed-producing crop adapted to climates similar to central Utah. Central Utah is also home to the Utah commercial turkey industry.

Clinical And Microbiological Aspects Of Linezolid Resistance Mediated By The Cfr Gene Encoding A 23s Rrna Methyltransferase, Jaime Moreno, John P Quinn

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

The cfr (chloramphenicol-florfenicol resistance) gene encodes a 23S rRNA methyltransferase that confers resistance to linezolid. Detection of linezolid resistance was evaluated in the first cfr-carrying human hospital isolate of linezolid and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (designated MRSA CM-05) by dilution and diffusion methods (including Etest). The presence of cfr was investigated in isolates of staphylococci colonizing the patient's household contacts and clinical isolates recovered from patients in the same unit where MRSA CM-05 was isolated. Additionally, 68 chloramphenicol-resistant Colombian MRSA isolates recovered from hospitals between 2001 and 2004 were screened for the presence of the cfr gene. In addition to erm(B), …

Activation Of Heat Shock And Antioxidant Responses By The Natural Product Celastrol: Transcriptional Signatures Of A Thiol-Targeted Molecule, Richard B Silverman

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Stress response pathways allow cells to sense and respond to environmental changes and adverse pathophysiological states. Pharmacological modulation of cellular stress pathways has implications in the treatment of human diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The quinone methide triterpene celastrol, derived from a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, has numerous pharmacological properties, and it is a potent activator of the mammalian heat shock transcription factor HSF1. However, its mode of action and spectrum of cellular targets are poorly understood. We show here that celastrol activates Hsf1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae at a similar effective concentration seen in mammalian cells. Transcriptional …

Broadly Sampled Multigene Trees Of Eukaryotes, Hwan Su Yoon, Jessica Grant, Yonas I. Tekle, Min Wu, Benjamin C. Chaon, Jeffrey C. Cole, John M. Logsdon, David J. Patterson, Debashish Bhattacharya, Laura A. Katz

Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Background. Our understanding of the eukaryotic tree of life and the tremendous diversity of microbial eukaryotes is in flux as additional genes and diverse taxa are sampled for molecular analyses. Despite instability in many analyses, there is an increasing trend to classify eukaryotic diversity into six major supergroups: the 'Amoebozoa', 'Chromalveolata', 'Excavata', 'Opisthokonta', 'Plantae', and 'Rhizaria'. Previous molecular analyses have often suffered from either a broad taxon sampling using only single-gene data or have used multigene data with a limited sample of taxa. This study has two major aims: (1) to place taxa represented by 72 sequences, 61 of which …

Variation In Molybdenum Content Across Broadly Distributed Populations Of Arabidopsis Thaliana Is Controlled By A Mitochondrial Molybdenum Transporter (Mot1), Ivan Baxter, Balasubramaniam Muthukumar, Hyeong Cheol Park, Peter Buchner, Brett Lahner, John Danku, Keyan Zhao, Joohyun Lee, Malcolm J. Hawkesford, Mary Lou Guerinot, David E. Salt

Dartmouth Scholarship

Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential micronutrient for plants, serving as a cofactor for enzymes involved in nitrate assimilation, sulfite detoxification, abscisic acid biosynthesis, and purine degradation. Here we show that natural variation in shoot Mo content across 92 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions is controlled by variation in a mitochondrially localized transporter (Molybdenum Transporter 1 - MOT1) that belongs to the sulfate transporter superfamily. A deletion in the MOT1 promoter is strongly associated with low shoot Mo, occurring in seven of the accessions with the lowest shoot content of Mo. Consistent with the low Mo phenotype, MOT1 expression in low Mo accessions …

Altogether Governed By Humors: The Four Ancient Temperaments In Shakespeare, Caitlin Jeanne Fahey

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Hippocrates, and later Galen, hypothesized that a person's character was influenced by a combination of four humors that governed the body: black bile, phlegm, yellow bile, and blood. Centuries later, the Elizabethans adopted these ideologies to their medical practices, and associated each humor with one of four temperaments: melancholy, phlegmatic, choleric, and sanguine. References to the four temperaments may be found embedded in a number of William Shakespeare's texts, most notably Hamlet, Henry IV, Part 1, Macbeth, and Twelfth Night. While many figures in Shakespeare embody many humoral traits, allowing for character development throughout the play, …

Enkephalin-Encoding Herpes Simplex Virus-1 Decreases Inflammation And Hotplate Sensitivity In A Chronic Pancreatitis Model, Hong Yang, Terry A. Mcnearney, Rong Chu, Ying Lu, Yong Ren, David C. Yeomans, Steven P. Wilson, Karin N. Westlund

Physiology Faculty Publications

Background: A chronic pancreatitis model was developed in young male Lewis rats fed a high-fat and alcohol liquid diet beginning at three weeks. The model was used to assess time course and efficacy of a replication defective herpes simplex virus type 1 vector construct delivering human cDNA encoding preproenkephalin (HSV-ENK).

Results: Most surprising was the relative lack of inflammation and tissue disruption after HSV-ENK treatment compared to the histopathology consistent with pancreatitis (inflammatory cell infiltration, edema, acinar cell hypertrophy, fibrosis) present as a result of the high-fat and alcohol diet in controls. The HSV-ENK vector delivered to the pancreatic surface …
