The genetic paradox of biological invasions is complex and multifaceted. In particular, the relative role of disparate propagule sources and genetic adaptation through postintroduction hybridization has remained largely unexplored. To add resolution to this paradox, we investigate the genetic architecture responsible for the invasion of two invasive Asian carp species, bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (H. molitrix) (bigheaded carps) that experience extensive hybridization in the Mississippi River Basin (MRB). We sequenced the genomes of bighead and silver carps (~1.08G bp and ~1.15G bp, respectively) and their hybrids collected from the MRB. We found moderate‐to‐high …

Inhibition Of Mitochondrial Permeability Transition By Deletion Of The Ant Family And Cypd, Jason Karch, Michael J. Bround, Hadi Khalil, Michelle A. Sargent, Nadina Latchman, Naohiro Terada, Pablo M. Peixoto, Jeffery D. Molkentin

Publications and Research

The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) has resisted molecular identification. The original model of the MPTP that proposed the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) as the inner membrane pore-forming component was challenged when mitochondria from Ant1/2 double null mouse liver still had MPTP activity. Because mice express three Ant genes, we reinvestigated whether the ANTs comprise the MPTP. Liver mitochondria from Ant1, Ant2, and Ant4 deficient mice were highly refractory to Ca2+-induced MPTP formation, and when also given cyclosporine A (CsA), the MPTP was completely inhibited. Moreover, liver mitochondria from mice with quadruple deletion of Ant1, Ant2, Ant4, and Ppif (cyclophilin …

Glioma Mimics: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Characteristics Of Granulomas In Dogs, Lauren Diangelo, Aaron A. Cohen-Gadol, Hock Gan Heng, Margaret A. Miller, Devon W. Hague, John H. Rossmeisl, Robin T. Bentley

Purdue University Libraries Open Access Publishing Fund

Granulomas can “mimic” gliomas on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in human patients. The goal of this retrospective study was to report canine brain granulomas that were consistent with glioma based upon MRI, report their histologic diagnosis, and identify MRI criteria that might be useful to distinguish granuloma from glioma. Ten granulomas, initially suspected to be glioma based on MRI, were ultimately diagnosed as granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis (n = 5), infectious granulomas (n = 3) or other meningoencephalitis (n = 2). Age was 1.6–15.0 years and two dogs were brachycephalic breeds. MRI characteristics overlapping with glioma included intra-axial, heterogeneous, …

Effects Of Leucine And Α-Ketoglutarate On The Weight, Serum, Visceral Organ Of Mice, Jin Shunshun, Yao Kang, Yin Yulong, Kang Baoju, Li Yuying, Wang Peng

Food and Machinery

Forty male C57BL/6 mice aged 4 weeks were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups. Mice in control groups drank normal water, while those in the experimental groups were treated 1.0% α-ketoglutarate acid (group Ⅰ), or 1.8% leucine (group Ⅱ), or 1.8% leucine and 1.0% α-ketoglutarate acid (group Ⅲ) via drinking water. The experimental lasted 35 days. The results showed as follows: ① The growth performance of group Ⅲ was 8.7%, 10.1%, and 10.4% lower than that of the groups control,ⅠandⅡ, respectively； ② Serum albumin in group Ⅲ was significantly higher than that of the groups control,ⅠandⅡ(P<0.05)； ③ The cardiac index of group Ⅲ increased by 19.3%, 13.6%, and 15.2%, respectively, compared with groups control,ⅠandⅡ； ④ The abdominal fat index of group Ⅲ was 24.1%, 10.0%, and 6.7% lower than that of groups control,ⅠandⅡ, the cross-sectional area of the gastrocnemius muscle of group Ⅲ was 46.9%, 20.2%, 27.9% higher than that of groups control,ⅠandⅡ, respectively. In summary, the combination of leucine and α-ketoglutaric acid can reduce the body weight of mice, strengthen the use of fat by organs, and increase the cross-sectional area of gastrocnemius muscle fibers.

Background: Thecaphora frezii Carranza and Lindquist causes smut disease in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) resulting in up to 35% yield losses. Fungicides have shown ineffective in controlling the disease; whereas research on the molecular basis of that fungicide resistance has been hindered because of the lack of genetic information about T. frezii. The goal of this work was to provide molecular information about fungicide-target loci in T. frezii, including its mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) and critical nuclear-encoded genes.

Results: Here we report the complete annotated mitogenome of T. frezii, a 123,773 bp molecule containing the standard 14 genes that form part …

Comparative Genomics Of Antibiotic-Resistant Uropathogens Implicates Three Routes For Recurrence Of Urinary Tract Infections, Robert Thänert, Kimberly A Reske, Tiffany Hink, Meghan A Wallace, Bin Wang, Drew J Schwartz, Sondra Seiler, Candice Cass, Carey-Ann D. Burnham, Erik R Dubberke, Jennie H Kwon, Gautam Dantas

Open Access Publications

The rise of antimicrobial resistance in uropathogens has complicated the management of urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly in patients who are afflicted by recurrent episodes of UTIs. Antimicrobial-resistant (AR) uropathogens persistently colonizing individuals at asymptomatic time points have been implicated in the pathophysiology of UTIs. The dynamics of uropathogen persistence following the resolution of symptomatic disease are, however, mostly unclear. To further our understanding, we determined longitudinal AR uropathogen carriage and clonal persistence of uropathogenic

Examining The Chronic Effects Of Indirect And Direct Cannabinoid Receptor Agonists On Dopamine Transmission In The Nucleus Accumbens Of Mice, Kevin Michael Honeywell

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

A major problem with current anxiolytic medications is abuse liability; thus, new pharmaceutical targets are being explored. Cannabinergic and vanilloidergic signaling is of interest in the modulation of anxiety through cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R) activation and transient vanilloid type 1 channel (TRPV1) inhibition. Arachidonoyl serotonin (AA-5-HT), a dual fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and TRPV1 inhibitor, and arachidonyl-2-chloro-ethylamide (ACEA), a direct CB1R agonist, are drugs of interest in modulating these two systems. The current study explored the addictive potential of chronic AA-5-HT or ACEA administration in the open field (OF), during in vivo fixed potential amperometry (FPA), during conditioned …

Transnational Environmental Law's Missing People, Natasha Affolder

All Faculty Publications

Legal scholars rely heavily on vocabularies of ‘actors’, ‘agents’, and ‘experts’ to account for the fact that law does not develop by itself. However, the identities, idiosyncrasies, and individual professional contributions of law’s people are rarely illuminated. This article suggests that the relative absence of people in transnational legal scholarship helps to explain some of its gaps. The task of bringing ‘human actors back on stage’ creates some new opportunities for transnational environmental law scholarship. It invites attention to both dominant and excluded voices. It offers a way of bridging the gap between the bureaucratic language of law and its …

Multiscale Collection And Analysis Of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Spectral Profiles For Eurasian Watermilfoil Detection, Colin Brooks, Amanda Grimm, Amy Marcarelli, Richard Dobson

Michigan Tech Publications, Part 1

The ability to differentiate a non-native aquatic plant, Myriophyllum spicatum (Eurasian watermilfoil or EWM), from other submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) using spectral data collected at multiple scales was investigated as a precursor to mapping of EWM. Spectral data were collected using spectroradiometers for SAV taken out of the water, from the side of a boat directly over areas of SAV and from a lightweight portable radiometer system flown from an unmanned aerial system (UAS). EWM was spectrally different from other SAV when using 651 spectral bands collected in ultraviolet to near-infrared range of 350 to 1000 nm but does not …

Observations On Habitat Use Of Age-0 Rio Grande Blue Sucker (Cycleptus Sp. Cf. Elongatus), Stephanie D. George, Amanda K. Pinion, Kevin W. Conway, Thomas C. Heard, Joshuah S. Perkin

Western North American Naturalist

During April 2018, we collected 23 age-0 (33–55 mm total length) Rio Grande Blue Sucker (Cycleptus sp. cf. elongatus) from 3 locations in the Rio Grande near the confluence with the Rio Conchos where the species is rarely reported. Age-0 Rio Grande Blue Suckers occurred in habitats ranging from 6 to 81 cm deep, with current velocities ranging from 0 to 1.03 m/s over silt, sand, gravel, cobble, and bedrock substrates. There was limited evidence for greater detection in slower-velocity habitats with bedrock, silt, and sand substrates, but the habitats we sampled were not unique from habitats sampled …
