Chromatin-level regulation of the maize purple plant1 gene
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
In eukaryotes, gene expression is controlled at the chromatin level by mechanisms that are not yet well understood. This study addressed some of the unanswered questions about chromatin-level gene regulation. In maize, the ...
Coupling, membrane conductance, and ion channel mRNA profiles in the establishment and maintenance of network activity in the crustacean cardiac ganglion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Neural networks produce critical rhythmic behaviors throughout an animal's lifespan, despite growth, differing environments, and changes in physiological state. This requires networks which balance stability in their ...
Mating systems in Nicotiana longiflora and N. Plumbaginifolia : the effect of interspecific interactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The research presented here was focused on the effects of interactions between Nicotiana longiflora and N. plumbaginifolia on their mating systems. First, I conducted a series of observations and pollination experiments ...
Ecological genomics of divergence, admixture, and fitness in the smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) is one of the most highly targeted sport fishes in the world. Anglers vie for the opportunity to catch Smallmouth Bass recreationally and competitively, spending billions of dollars ...
