DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TECHNIQUES TO DISSECT THE GENETIC BASIS OF POPULATION-LEVEL VARIATION OF RECOMBINATION RATES IN THE DAPHNIA MODEL SYSTEM
Neupane, Swatantra (2021-12-20)We know very little about the determining genetic factors that control the recombination events within a genome. Moreover, the cause of recombination rate variation in population-level remains poorly understood, especially ... -
EFFECTS OF A N2-FIXING BIOFERTILIZER ON THE RHIZOSPHERE MICROBIOME AND THE INFLUENCE OF BIOCHAR ON SOIL FERTILITY AND MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES
Niraula, Sarbjeet; 0000-0002-8425-4782 (2021-12-20)The rhizosphere microbiota and endosymbionts are the major contributors to biogeochemical cycling and significantly impact the associated host plant. Their association with plant roots is inevitable for plant health and ... -
INVESTIGATING GENE EXPRESSION CHANGES IN DAPHNIA: THE ROLE OF EMS-INDUCED MUTATIONS AND REPRODUCTIVE MODES
Snyman, Marelize; 0000-0002-1051-3008 (2022-08-03)Gene expression variation is a common source of phenotypic variation between species. Understanding how changes in gene expression are associated with a particular phenotype will aid in understanding the molecular basis ... -
TRANSCRIPTOMIC SIGNAL OF REPRODUCTIVE MODES AND EARLY SPECIATION IN DAPHNIA PULEX-PULICARIA SYSTEM
Huynh, Trung Viet; 0000-0003-3878-2151 (2022-12-16)Daphnia have been gaining recognition as a key model system for studies of evolution, ecology, toxicology, and more recently genomics. The defining characteristic of this particular model system is its phenotypic plasticity ...
