Name(s): Creator (cre): Wagner, Nicole D., Thesis advisor (ths): Frost, Paul C, Degree committee member (dgc): Kapron, Carolyn, Degree committee member (dgc): Brunetti, Craig, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Aquatic consumers frequently face nutritional limitation, caused in part, by imbalances between the nutrients supplied by primary producers and the metabolic demands of the consumers. These nutritional imbalances alter many ecological processes including consumer life-history traits, population dynamics, and food web properties. Given the important ecological role of organismal nutrition… more

Natural antisense transcripts to nucleus-encoded mitochondrial genes are linked to Ustilago maydis teliospore dormancy

Name(s): Creator (cre): Ostrowski, Lauren Anne, Thesis advisor (ths): Saville, Barry J, Degree committee member (dgc): Brunetti, Craig, Degree committee member (dgc): Rafferty, Steven, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Ustilago maydis is a basidiomycete smut fungus and the causal agent of common smut of corn. Disease progression and fungal development in this pathogen occur in planta, terminating in the production of dormant teliospores. Dormant spores of many fungi are characterized by reduced metabolic activity, which is restored during spore germination. The transition out of dormancy requires the… more

The Effect of SP600125 JNK Inhibitor on Cadmium-Treated Mouse Embryo Forelimb Bud Cells In Vitro

Name(s): Creator (cre): Alhoesh, Afnan M., Thesis advisor (ths): Kapron, Carolyn, Degree committee member (dgc): Brenner, Ingrid, Degree committee member (dgc): Brunetti, Craig, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This study investigated the role of the JNK signaling pathway in cadmium-treated mouse embryo forelimb bud cells in vitro. Primary cultures of forelimb bud cells harvested at day 11 of gestation were pre-treated with JNK inhibitor SP600125, and incubated with or without CdCl2 for 15, 30, 60, 120 minutes and 24, 48 hours or 5 days. Endpoints of toxicity were measured through cell… more
