An In Vitro Experimental System of Muscle Formation
Get PDFOverview: Muscle Regeneration
Muscle formation occurs at two points in time: Embryonic development Adult Muscle regeneration Muscle is one of few tissues capable of robust regeneration Due to the presence of quiescent stem cells known as satellite cells Muscle regeneration is an intricate process with multiple transitions that must take place These transitions can be regulated by many factor
Fungal Endophytes in Native Prairie Plants vs. Lespedeza cuneata
Get PDFFungal leaf endophytes(FLE) are microorganisms that live in the leaf tissues of plants, influencing plant health, growth, and stress resistance. The prairie ecosystem, with its diverse flora, provides an ideal environment for studying the symbiotic relationships between endophytes and plants.
In recent years, the invasive species Lespedeza cuneata has become increasingly prevalent, continuously invading native prairie communities. The Phillips Tract Research Area (PHRE), a prairie established in 2018 for research purposes, has also been invaded by L. cuneata. PHRE was designed to investigate the impact of pesticide drift on prairie restoration. Despite various management efforts, L. cuneata has persistently invaded the area.
This invasion presents an opportunity to study the interactions between invasive and native species. Our research focuses on comparing the fungal leaf endophytes of L. cuneata and native prairie plants to understand the differences in fungal endophyte communities. This understanding may shed light on the ecological impact of the invasive species and its reasons for success
Diversity of Squash Plant Floral Volatiles Mediating Beetle Attraction
Get PDFWhy do beetles like some squash flowers more than others? Flowers emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are integral for defensive and communicative plant abilities. Certain floral volatiles of squash plants have been known to attract pests like cucumber beetles, while others appear more immune. This study expands on the observation that some squash plants are more infested with pests than others. It aims to decipher which specific floral volatiles are influential in this phenomenon and reveal which squash varieties of Cucurbita maxima have higher/lower levels of these important floral volatiles
The Impact of Long-Term Nitrogen Addition on Legume-Rhizobia Symbiosis
Get PDFIntroduction Soybean-Bradyrhizobium symbiosis enables natural nitrogen fixation in the nodules of a legume\u27s root system. Long-term application of nitrogen fertilizer, commonly used in traditional agriculture, can causes microevolution in soil microbiomes that impact mutualism (Weese et al. 2015). Reduced mutualism often decreases plant performance and productivity. This study examines how soybean- Bradyrhizobium symbiosis is impacted by fertilization history, by examining nodule health and legume productivity
Reduced Iron as an Indicator of Nitrous Oxide Production
Get PDFIntroduction Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas, accounting for 6% of net radiative forcing2 Cropland nitrous oxide emissions primarily result from denitrification, an anerobic process3 Iron redox status could be a useful proxy for soil microsite anoxia, and thus might be useful predictor of denitrificationdriven soil N2O emissions
