The Fragile Fiber1 Kinesin Contributes To Cortical Microtubule-Mediated Trafficking Of Cell Wall Components, Chuanmei Zhu, Anindya Ganguly, Tobias I. Baskin, Daniel D. Mcclosky, Charles T. Anderson, Cliff Foster, Kristoffer A. Meunier, Ruth Okamoto, Howard Berg, Ram Dixit

Biology Faculty Research

The cell wall consists of cellulose microfibrils embedded within a matrix of hemicellulose and pectin. Cellulose microfibrils are synthesized at the plasma membrane, whereas matrix polysaccharides are synthesized in the Golgi apparatus and secreted. The trafficking of vesicles containing cell wall components is thought to depend on actin-myosin. Here, we implicate microtubules in this process through studies of the kinesin-4 family member, Fragile Fiber1 (FRA1). In an fra1-5 knockout mutant, the expansion rate of the inflorescence stem is halved compared with the wild type along with the thickness of both primary and secondary cell walls. Nevertheless, cell walls in fra1-5 …

Air Quality And Agriculture, Rhonda Miller

All Current Publications

There are many human factors that contribute to poor air quality, and agriculture is no exception. Best management practices such as the immediate incorporation of manure, nutrient conservation,reduced fertilizer use, reduced tillage, keeping silage covered, covers on manure storage structures,and alternatives to burning can help minimize emissions of air pollutants. Although livestock production is a significant contributor of greenhouse gases, long-term cropping systems can sequester carbon which reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Fundamental Formulae For Wave-Energy Conversion, J Falnes, A Kurniawan Mar 2015

Fundamental Formulae For Wave-Energy Conversion, J Falnes, A Kurniawan

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

The time-average wave power that is absorbed from an incident wave by means of a wave-energy conversion (WEC) unit, or by an array of WEC units—i.e. oscillating immersed bodies and/or oscillating water columns (OWCs)—may be mathematically expressed in terms of the WEC units' complex oscillation amplitudes, or in terms of the generated outgoing (diffracted plus radiated) waves, or alternatively, in terms of the radiated waves alone. Following recent controversy, the corresponding three optional expressions are derived, compared and discussed in this paper. They all provide the correct time-average absorbed power. However, only the first-mentioned expression is applicable to quantify the …

Role For Endogenous Bdnf In Endocannabinoid-Mediated Long-Term Depression At Neocortical Inhibitory Synapses, Eric S. Levine, Liangfang Zhao, Mason Li-Wen Yeh Feb 2015

Role For Endogenous Bdnf In Endocannabinoid-Mediated Long-Term Depression At Neocortical Inhibitory Synapses, Eric S. Levine, Liangfang Zhao, Mason Li-Wen Yeh

UCHC Articles - Research

The endogenous cannabinoid (endocannabinoid) system is an important regulator of synaptic function. Endocannabinoids acutely modulate inhibitory and excitatory transmission, and also mediate long-term depression at GABAergic and glutamatergic synapses. Typically, endocannabinoid synthesis and release is stimulated by depolarization-induced calcium influx and/or activation of phospholipase-C (PLC) signaling triggered by mGluR activation. Recently it has been shown that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can also induce endocannabinoid release. Although there is growing evidence for cross-talk between BDNF and endocannabinoid signaling, little is known about the functional relevance of these interactions. In the present studies, we examined BDNF – endocannabinoid interactions in regulating activity-dependent …

Informal, Non(-)Formal, Or Free-Choice Education And Learning? Toward A Common Terminology For Agriscience And Ag-Stem Educators, Kathryn A. Stofer

Journal of Human Sciences and Extension

Education professionals must re-examine the use of labels for education and learning in diverse settings in light of new understandings of how people learn and updated goals for broader interdisciplinary work. The varied use of the terms informal education, nonformal education, and formal education draw distinctions that serve to divide, not unite, those working to support a wide variety of learners for similar agriscience education goals. What in Extension education is nonformal learning is informal learning in science education. Juxtaposing informal learning or nonformal learning with formal learning also serves, in the eyes of some outside the profession, to devalue …
