Characterizing the role of ATP-binding cassette transporters in triterpenoid wax bloom production
Some plants have developed lineage-specific mechanisms to increase water retention during drought conditions, including thick epicuticular wax coatings called wax blooms. However, the process underlying synthesis and especially the transport of wax bloom compounds to the leaf surface have yet to be …

Temporal Change in Community Composition, Ecological Niche, and Phenotypic Selection in Minnesota’s Rare Arctic Relict Plants
Rare, arctic relict plant populations of Minnesota, found in the cool and moist microclimate produced along the cold waters of Lake Superior, face an uncertain future due to anthropogenic climate change. In this study, we used a variety of approaches to examine the contemporary impacts of climate …

Use Of Multi-Gear Sampling To Improve Abundance Estimates Of Demersal Coregonids In The Laurentian Great Lakes
… clupeaformis) and Round Whitefish (Prosopium cylindraceum) play a vital role in both the Laurentian Great Lakes food webs and the commercial fishing industry. Hydroacoustic sampling has proven useful when performing stock assessments because hydroacoustics provide rapid spatial coverage as well …

Drivers of reproductive variability in Vaccinium cespitosum and vaccinium vitis-idaea in northeastern Minnesota
… factors affect reproductive variability within a population, and understanding these factors is important for making informed land management decisions. I investigated how clonality impacts reproductive variability in Vaccinium cespitosum and Vaccinium vitis-idaea (Ericaceae), and how the …

Fibronectin and Laminin, extracellular matrix proteins, have an origin in mesoderm tissue and promote anterior neural tube closure in zebrafish
… nervous system, forms through the process of neurulation. During neurulation, a flat neural plate folds and the lateral edges bind to form a closed tube. Failure of neurulation results in neural tube defects (NTD). In humans, NTD causes life-threatening birth defects such as anencephaly, …
