Innate immunity in Arabidopsis : molecular mechanisms of HOPA1 and AVRRS4 - specific disease resistance signaling pathways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Plants have evolved several layers of predetermined defenses, collectively called the innate immune system. Because of its effectiveness effector-triggered immunity (ETI) is a highly valuable agronomic trait. However, ETI ...
The effects of structural modifications on sigma receptor binding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The sigma receptor is a unique receptor family that has two subtypes: sigma1 and sigma2. Sigma1 receptors are involved in several physiological functions such as psychosis and depression. Sigma2 receptors are expressed in ...
An ecological systems approach to reduce children's encounters with obscenity on the internet

and waiting of the truck on its route to recover drones. A MILP model is formulated to optimize the management of this setting of facilities and delivery operations. Finally, extensive computational experiments are conducted in this dissertation for the four...
Simulating prehistoric population dynamics and adaptive behavioral responses to the environment in Long House Valley and Black Mesa, Arizona
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
This project contributes to our understanding of human adaptability to environmental stress and climate change in Long House Valley and Black Mesa, Arizona from AD 800-1350. This was accomplished through the development ...
Celsr1 suppresses WNT5A-mediated chemoattraction to prevent incorrect rostral migration of facial branchiomotor neurons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
As the nervous system develops, neurons often migrate from where they originate to their functional locations prior to them contributing to the circuits that drive cognitive and motor function. Within the vertebrate ...
