The effects of elevated temperature on preimplantation-stage porcine embryos
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
It was the objective of these experiments to more fully characterize the biochemical and developmental responses of in vitro-produced preimplantation stage porcine embryos to elevated temperatures. In vitro fertilized (IVF) ...
Generation of a reference genome to investigate population fitness and transitional cell carcinoma occurrence in the fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Many species are vulnerable or on the verge of extinction as a result of increased habitat degradation and fragmentation. Conservation genetics has attempted to apply an understanding of species genetics to reduce the risk ...
Temporal effects of fescue toxicosis and heat stress on rat physiology and hepatic gene expression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Fescue toxicosis results from intake of toxins in fescue containing an endophytic fungus, Neotyphodium coenophialum. Time-related changes in rats associated with intake of an endophyte-infected fescue diet (E+) were evaluated ...
