Natural Antioxidants, Oybek Zufarov, Kamar Serkayev

Technical science and innovation

Antioxidants sourced from nature play a pivotal role in maintaining human health. Enzymatic antioxidants like catalase and peroxidase, alongside high-molecular-weight non-enzymatic antioxidants such as albumin and ferritin, bolster cellular defense mechanisms. Phenolic compounds, plentiful in plants, act as antioxidants and fall into different categories like phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, lignans, and lignin. These compounds showcase antioxidant prowess by neutralizing free radicals and binding metals, with their efficacy influenced by structural nuances and environmental factors. Moreover, flavonoids, tannins, lignans, diterpenes, and carotenoids stand out for their antioxidant prowess. Carotenoids like lycopene, present in tomatoes, display notable antioxidant potency, contributing to health …

Identification Of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria For Ballona Wetlands Restoration, Caroline Ehren, Michelle Lum

Honors Thesis

The Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve (BWER) is home to many California native plant species which contribute to ecosystem services of flood and erosion mitigation, water quality improvement, carbon sequestration, and habitat provisions for threatened and endangered species. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) improve plant tolerance to abiotic stressors and suppress pathogens through the alteration of nutrient absorption, water uptake, and enzymatic activity, and have potential in conservation strategies by aiding revegetation methods. Eight bacterial strains were isolated from native Frankenia salina and Baccharis pilularis in the BWER to determine whether these microbes act as PGPR. The strains were characterized using …

Amplon: Amplifying Dna With Multiarm Priming And Looping Optimization Of Nucleic Acid, Mert Tunca Doganay, Ethan Roman, Andrea M. Hujer, Robert A. Bonomo, Mohamed S. Draz

Faculty Scholarship

Nucleic acid amplification, the bedrock of biotechnology and molecular diagnostics, surges in applications—especially isothermal approaches—heightening the demand for advanced and precisely engineered methods. Here, a novel approach for amplifying DNA with multiarm priming and looping optimization of nucleic acid (AMPLON) is presented. AMPLON relies on a novel polymeric material with unique set of multiarm polyethylene glycol–DNA primers for efficient DNA amplification under isothermal conditions. Each arm carries single-stranded DNA complementing the sense or antisense sequence of the target DNA. The amplification reaction begins with antisense arms binding to the target DNA, forming a template for sense-carrying arms to direct multiarm …

Callaghan, Mariana Cárdenas, Matthew W. Chmielewski, Nicole J. Fenton, Hannah Holland-Moritz, Samantha Hopkins, Mélanie Jean, Bier Ekaphan Kraichak, Zoë Lindo, Amelia Merced, Tobi Oke, Daniel Stanton, Julia E. Stuart, Daniel Tucker, Kirsten K. Coe

Michigan Tech Publications

Bryophytes, including the lineages of mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, are the second-largest photoautotroph group on Earth. Recent work across terrestrial ecosystems has highlighted how bryophytes retain and control water, fix substantial amounts of carbon (C), and contribute to nitrogen (N) cycles in forests (boreal, temperate, and tropical), tundra, peatlands, grasslands, and deserts. Understanding how changing climate affects bryophyte contributions to global cycles in different ecosystems is of primary importance. However, because of their small physical size, bryophytes have been largely ignored in research on water, C, and N cycles at global scales. Here, we review the literature on how bryophytes …

Buying Revenue Protection (Rp) Versus Buying The Rp With Harvest Price Exclusion (Rphpe) Version Of Multi-Peril Crop Insurance, Matthew Stockton, Shannon Sand

Cornhusker Economics

In a conversation with one of the TAPS participants about Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) he suggested that you would never recommend RPHPE, due to the risk associated with a higher fall harvest price compared to the spring or predicted price. Since the year 2000, this has occurred about one-third of the time. This price reversal may alter indemnity size considerably, depending on which insurance is selected and if one qualifies for an indemnity. The discussion with the TAPS participant focused on the concern of risk exposure from pre-selling uninsured grain due to an unexpected increase in harvest price. This relates …

Exploring Leaf Anthocyanin Concentrations And Light Effects On Lettuce Growth, Peyton Lou Palsha, Marc W. Van Iersel, Ryan Dickson, Lynn Seymour, Melanie Yelton, Rhuanito Soranz Ferrarezi

Horticulture Faculty Publications and Presentations

Anthocyanins are secondary metabolites classified as water-soluble, non-photosynthetic pigments with the potential ability to shield chloroplasts from excess light energy. This study investigated the morphological and physiological responses of six lettuce (Lactuca sativa) cultivars with different leaf anthocyanin contents grown in a greenhouse under different supplemental photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD). Cultivars ‘Cherokee’, ‘Teodore’, ‘Rex’, and ‘Rouxai’ decreased in specific leaf area with increasing PPFD, respectively. We observed that growth in cultivars with higher leaf anthocyanin content (‘Cherokee’ and ‘Rouxai’) increased with increasing PPFD. Light use efficiency (LUE) is an important physiological parameter affecting biomass accumulation, and cultivars ‘Cherokee’, ‘Rex’, …

Effective Dispersal Patterns In Prairie Plant Species Across Human-Modified Landscapes., Elizabeth C. Hendrickson, Mitchell B. Cruzan

Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Effective dispersal among plant populations is dependent on vector behaviour, landscape features and availability of adequate habitats. To capture landscape feature effects on dispersal, studies must be conducted at scales reflecting single-generation dispersal events (mesoscale). Many studies are conducted at large scales where genetic differentiation is due to dispersal occurring over multiple generations, making it difficult to interpret the effects of specific landscape features on vector behaviour. Genetic structure at the mesoscale may be determined by ecological and evolutionary processes, such as the consequences of vector behaviour on patterns of gene flow. We used chloroplast haplotypes and nuclear genome SNP …

Development And Structure Of Spinal Interneuron Connectivity In Larval Zebrafish, Saul Bello Rojas

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

In vertebrates, spinal interneurons are essential for the initiation and propagation of locomotor activity with each class of interneurons serving its own unique role. Ipsilateral interneurons function to control locomotor speed; whereas, commissural interneurons aid in left – right alternation. To date, most studies have been aimed at studying the impact of each individual class of interneurons onto motor neurons. However, not much work has revolved around studying interneuron – interneuron connectivity among the various cardinal classes. Furthermore, it remains unknown how the connectivity of interneurons changes along their entire axonal reach. This thesis aims to address the developmental patterns …

The Swi/Snf Atp-Dependent Chromatin Remodeling Complex In Cell Lineage Priming And Early Development, Dhurjhoti Saha, Srinivas Animireddy, Blaine Bartholomew

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

ATP dependent chromatin remodelers have pivotal roles in transcription, DNA replication and repair, and maintaining genome integrity. SWI/SNF remodelers were first discovered in yeast genetic screens for factors involved in mating type switching or for using alternative energy sources therefore termed SWI/SNF complex (short for SWItch/Sucrose NonFermentable). The SWI/SNF complexes utilize energy from ATP hydrolysis to disrupt histone-DNA interactions and shift, eject, or reposition nucleosomes making the underlying DNA more accessible to specific transcription factors and other regulatory proteins. In development, SWI/SNF orchestrates the precise activation and repression of genes at different stages, safe guards the formation of specific cell …

Spatial Distribution Of Soil Nutrients And Properties As A Function Of Vegetation Distribution, Fire, And Rodent Activity, Nathan O. Jones

Theses and Dissertations

Fires are becoming larger and more frequent in the deserts of North America, driven largely by the expansion of invasive annual grasses. Rodent consumers can curb invasive grass expansion through plant herbivory, but the top-down effects of this pressure on soil resources are understudied. In shrub dominated deserts, islands of fertility under shrub canopies are surrounded by nutrient poor interspace soils that dictate patterns of vegetative growth. Little is known of how top-down controls from rodents and fire may interact with fertile island topography. These studies explore the effects of fire, rodent activity, and fertile island topography on plant available …

The basal breast cancer subtype is enriched for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and displays consistent large chromosomal deletions. Here, we characterize evolution and maintenance of chromosome 4p (chr4p) loss in basal breast cancer. Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas data shows recurrent deletion of chr4p in basal breast cancer. Phylogenetic analysis of a panel of 23 primary tumor/patient-derived xenograft basal breast cancers reveals early evolution of chr4p deletion. Mechanistically we show that chr4p loss is associated with enhanced proliferation. Gene function studies identify an unknown gene, C4orf19, within chr4p, which suppresses proliferation when overexpressed-a member of the PDCD10-GCKIII kinase module …

Assessment Of Thermal Preferences And Critical Temperature Tolerance Polygons On Mangrove Fish And Invertebrates From South Florida, Jailynn Konkler

All HCAS Student Capstones, Theses, and Dissertations

Mangroves serve as important nursery habitats for several species of subtropical fishes and invertebrates. Southeastern Florida mangrove environments have experienced an increasing frequency of strong hot and cold weather front systems, but little information is known about the temperature thresholds for mangrove-associated prey species that lethally disrupts homeostasis. To assess the vulnerability of mangrove-associated prey species to these short-duration temperature fluctuations, critical thermal methodology (CTM) was used to determine thermal tolerances for two fishes and two invertebrates, using loss of equilibrium (LOE) as the endpoint to determine CTmax and CTmin values as a survivable proxy for death. Physiological tolerances were …
