Characterization of cytoplasmic diversity in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr) using mitochondrial markers
… maintains the soybean germplasm collection. Mitochondrial DNA sequences have been used as markers of diversity at the cytoplasmic level. This project included three objectives. The first was a classification of the 208 varieties of the USDA's 'old domestic collection' of soybean varieties …

The genetics of glucosamine in yeast : cytoplasmic determinants conferring resistance
… or not the lesions involved were located on mitochondrial DNA. Detailed investigation of crosses of GR6 and GR10 or their derivatives to strains bearing known mitochondrial markers demonstrated that: 1. the frequency of glucos~~ine resistance in diploids was independent of factors influencing …

The phylogeography of Cheracebus species located in the Rio Negro basin and its implications for our understanding of the historical biogeography of Amazonia
… of these different species. We use three mitochondrial markers (COI, Cytochrome B, D-Loop) and one nuclear marker (RAG1). We constructed haplotype networks and preferred phylogenetic analysis to analyse their genetic differences.Our results show genetic differences for these markers …

A Phylogenetic and Environmental Analysis of Brazilian Placosoma Lizards
… these morphologically similar lizards. Using mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences, genus-wide phylogenies were inferred through Bayesian inference and a species tree approach, and reconciled with geographical and climate data. I generated DNA sequences for the nuclear markers DNAH3, PRLR, …

Mitochondrial genomics and Northwestern Atlantic population genetics of marine annelids
… and the increasing diversity of available markers have allowed more complex and fine-scale questions to be asked at a variety of taxonomic levels. At the phylogenetic level, whole mitochondrial genome sequencing of two polychaetes (the deep-sea tubeworm Riftia pachyptila and the intertidal …

Comparative Analysis of Microsatellite and Mitochondrial Genetic Variation in <em>Ixodes Scapularis</em>
… Earlier molecular studies utilizing nuclear and mitochondrial genetic markers have revealed the occurrence of two distinct lineages: a genetically diverse southern clade found in the southern-half of the distribution area of <em>I. scapularis</em>, and a more genetically homogeneous American …

The decline of Fowler's Toad (Bufo fowleri) in southern Louisiana: molecular genetics, field experiments and landscape studies
… successfully demonstrated the use of nuclear and mitochondrial markers to identify cryptic hybrids and their maternal lineage. Three hybrids were detected using nuclear introns and a morphologically cryptic hybrid was identified using mitochondrial DNA as the progeny of a cross that was previously …

The Geographic Mosaic of Wolbachia Infection in Melanitis leda Butterfly Populations
… phylogenies of the host with nuclear and mitochondrial markers, and by inferring relationships among the <em>Wolbachia</em> strain (sequence type, ST) that we detected in different populations. Geographic variability was apparent on two levels: prevalence of infection and ST of infection. …

Mitochondrial function in sepsis - Temporal evolvement of respiratory capacity in human blood cells
… been described as part of the septic syndrome. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been suggested to be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of these alterations and restoration of mitochondrial function has been implicated as a prerequisite for the recovery from sepsis. Further, platelets have …

Whole-Body Metabolic Flexibility is Discordant with Skeletal Muscle Metabolism
… and inflexible participants did not differ in mitochondrial function. Taken together, this indicates that metabolic flexibility is an innate component of SkM and can be seen prior to any clinical evidence of metabolic disruption, and metabolic flexibility is not associated with either muscle …

African elephant conservation and population genetics
… (1) Phylogeographic patterns between nuclear and mitochondrial DNA in African elephants are often incongruent, which has been attributed to sex-biased dispersal and variance in reproductive success. To examine this, we sequenced the mitochondrial genome of two African forest elephants and examined …

Evolution of reproductive mode in the scaly-winged bark louse Echmepteryx hageni
… eastern Kentucky. There is a strong disparity in mitochondrial genetic diversity between the reproductive forms of E. hageni, with the parthenogenetic form exhibiting very high haplotypic and nucleotide diversity while the sexual populations are virtually homogenous. In Chapter 1, I show that the …
