Fine-structure QTL mapping of suppressor of plant blotching1 in maize [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
1,500-individual F2 population to achieve greater resolution for pin-pointing the position of the Spb1 loci. Our eventual goal is to clone the Spb1 genes using a map-based cloning strategy. Then we will be able to study in detail how Spb1...
Differential in-gel electrophoresis (DIGE): The key to finding the 4936 factor? [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
There are many species of plants that do not accept their own or closely related pollen. This self-incompatibility (SI), is seen in members of the genus Nicotiana. There are three proteins that are known to be required for ...
Altered nuclear gene expression in response to mitochondrial mutations in maize [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Maize non-chromosomal stripe (NCS) plants are defective plants with mutations within mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) resulting in deficiencies in the electron transfer chain (ETC). It has been shown the cells will synthesize ...
Artificial selection on genes for epigenetic regulation in maize [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Maize (corn) was domesticated from teosinte through a single domestication event in Mexico about nine thousand years ago. This domestication brought about the original landrace maize varieties that were spread though out ...
Design of an Automatic System for the University of Missouri Research Reactor's (MURR) Small Diameter Pneumatic-Tube (P-Tube) System [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The nuclear research facility at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MURR) has proposed a redesign of the process for irradiating the samples with INAA (Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis) in order to increase efficiency (sample throughput...
Determination of conditions for optimum labeling of DOTA-Y3-Octreotate with terbium-161 [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
will have a high specific activity, meaning less drug mass is necessary to deliver the required dose to the neuroendocrine tumor. Radioactive terbium was obtained at the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) via neutron capture on gadolinium-160...
Separation of radiolanthanides by high performance liquid chromatography [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
-Columbia Research Reactor. A good separation of Lu-177/Sm-153 allowed us to decide on the selection and conditions of solvents to be used for other lanthanides. Additionally, studies were also carried out for the separation of promethium-149 (149Pm) from cold...
Evolution of maize defense gene expression altered by Wolbachia [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
to be affected by WCR feeding. Future research will be conducted to compare the affects of WCR without Wolbachia on defense gene expression in these lines....
PPFM to the plant: Just say NO! [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Pink-pigmented commensal bacteria, Methylobacterium spp. are facultative methylotrophs (i.e. they utilize methanol, but they can also use other carbon compounds) commonly referred to as PPFMs. PPFMs associate with seeds ...
Effect of Aluminum (Al) in crystallization of a-SiC for betavoltaic fabrication [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Metal-Induced Crystallization (MIC) technique was used to crystallize hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) films with different Aluminum (Al) thicknesses. Amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) was deposited on ...
Perceived entrepreneurial ability and business relationships among minority business owners in the Midwest [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
This is a study of perceived entrepreneurial ability and perceived obstacles to important business relationships of business managers/owners in the Midwest. It was expected that the self perceived entrepreneurial ability ...
Effect of hydrogen in the crystallization of amorphous silicon carbide for betavoltaic fabrication [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) (Applied Materials P5000, CA) was used to deposit three different types of hydrogenated amorphous Silicon Carbide (a-SiC:H) films on quartz and n-type Si substrates. These ...
Thermal performance of sintered and non-sintered capillary heat pipes [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The current study is being conducted to better understand how interior capillary geometry/design and interior surface treatments may affect the thermal performance of sintered and non-sintered, grooved heat pipes. The ...
The use of lysotracker to label lysosomes in attached cell cultures [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Our overall goal is to develop stem cell therapies to alleviate neurodegenerative diseases. We are focused on a class of hereditary diseases called the neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses (NCLs; often grouped together under the ...
Using Indium-111 labeled radiopharmaceuticals to target the BB2 receptor on human prostate cancer cells [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
retention time allows for more efficacious therapeutic benefits and enhanced diagnostic imaging capabilities. In this study, we seek to determine the pharmacokinetic benefits achieved in altering the linking group using aliphatic and aromatic linking groups...
Peritoneal fluid haptoglobin from women with endometriosis differentially regulates macrophage cytokine production [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The objective of this study was to define mechanisms by which haptoglobin from endometriotic lesions (eHp) which binds to macrophages modulates immune surveillance and inflammation in the peritoneal cavity by characterizing ...
