Circadian Orchestration of Symbiotic Genes in Photosynthetic Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria
(2018-05-04)
Rhizobia have long been known for their symbiotic association with the roots of legumes where they perform nitrogen fixation in specialized organs called nodules. The photosynthetic strains of Bradyrhizobia are of particular ...
Role Of Repetitive DNA In Apicomplexan Genome Evolution
(Biology, 2010-07-19)
The Apicomplexa represent a phylum of obligate intracellular parasites that impart significant medical, veterinary, and socioeconomic burdens worldwide. The opportunistic, AIDS-associated, pathogen Toxoplasma gondii for ...
A Study Of The Function Of Two Nuclear Transport Retrogenes (dntf-2r And Ran-like) In Drosophila Melanogaster
(Biology, 2014-12)
The genetic information, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), is the hereditary material that forms the basis for the origin and evolution of life. These molecules encode and store information that can ...
The Interplay Of Environmental Stressors On The Life History Traits In Daphnia lumholtzi
(Biology, 2014-12)
In natural environments, organisms face multiple stressors that threaten their persistence. Aquatic organisms respond to a change in environmental conditions by adaptively modifying the expression of traits (i.e., ...
Evolution Of Sex Ratios And Sex Determination Mechanisms: Lessons From Nematodes With Three Genders
(Biology, 2014-12)
In sexually reproducing species, the decision to allocate resources towards male and female reproductive function is called sex allocation. Although theoretical and empirical work has been largely successful, the underlying ...
Biological Evaluation Of Membrane-active Compounds As Treatment For Clostridium Difficile Infection
(Biology, 2015)
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), which is caused by a spore-forming, gram-positive anaerobe, named C. difficile, is the leading cause of the hospital-acquired antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Hospitalized elderly ...
Thermal Transgenerational Plasticity and Its Effect on Competitive Ability and Consumer-Resource Dynamics in a Population of Daphnia ambigua
(2015-12-08)
Global temperature increases are predicted to quicken in pace this century, and with them so will the likely impact on natural populations. The extent to which organisms will be able to keep pace with and adapt to these ...
The Influence Of Thermal Effluent On Life History Evolution In The Western Mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis
(Biology, 2015)
The evolutionary consequence of heated effluent on the Western mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis, was studied at Lake Fairfield, in Freestone County, Texas. The Lake Fairfield reservoir receives heated effluent from Luminant’s ...
