(2014-01-22)A yeast suppressor screen was employed to identify proteins synthesized by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which suppress the toxicity of C. burnetii effector CBU0041 (CirA). Transformants were serially diluted and spotted onto ...
-
(2013-09-26)Polarized growth at the apex of filamentous fungi produces a unique cell type called a hypha. This form of growth found only in fungi, relies on numerous proteins to direct new growth to the cell apex. Endocytic recycling ...

Mercury (Hg) is a neurotoxin that can cause health issues or even death. In Alaskan Steller sea lion (SSL) populations, Hg concentrations were observed to vary by region and time. These observations are of interest because ...
-
(2013-02-04)Fusarium verticillioides is a major pathogen of a broad range of field crops. Seeds infections lead to contamination by hazardous mycotoxins, such as fumonisin. Fumonisin is known to cause developmental defects in humans ...
-
(2014-09-19)Burkholderia glumae, the primary causal agent of Bacterial Panicle Blight (BPB), results in the abortion of infected rice kernels and grain rot that may result in 75% yield loss. The significance of this disease and finding ...

(1984)Five media were compared for their efficiency in isolation of Ceratocystis fagacearum, the oak wilt fungus. The efficiency of bole and branch samples was also compared. Potato dextrose agar amended with streptomycin was ...
-
(2013-02-04)F-actin, a cytoskeletal component of microfilaments, plays an important role in fungal growth and development. It can be found in different forms, including cables and patches. Lifeact is a fluorescent reporter of actin ...
-
(1998)Three species of the genus Aspergillus (A.) A. nidulans, A. parasiticus, and A. flavus are currently being observed in our lab to determine the effects of seed metabolites on fungal development. A. nidulans reproduces ...
-
(2018-04-27)Tropical tree ring analysis has been a rarity in the field of dendrochronology until recent years. Trees growing along the equator experience minimal limiting growth periods due to a lack of temperature seasonality, and ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one means for inter- and intra-plant signal communication. One such group of volatiles produced in response to insect herbivory are herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), which ...
