Don't Shoot the Messenger
<p>My hope is to inform people through my art, thus creating a spark that might motivate people to bring about a change in how corporations do business. My art touches mainly on the issues of corporations polluting the environment, massive layoffs, breaking up unions, controlling the media output …

Cryopreservation of sweet potato shoot tips by vitrification
… (1992) reported that vitrified sweet potato shoot tips exhibited callus formation and that the vitrification protocol developed included high levels of within and between treatment variability for explant survival. The purpose of this study was therefore to, examine the various steps of the …

The role of auxin transport in the control of shoot branching
… to environmental stimuli. In flowering plants, shoot branching is regulated through the activity of axillary buds, which grow into branches. Several classes of plant hormones have been shown to play pivotal roles in regulating bud outgrowth. Auxin derived from the primary shoot apex and active …

Retranslocation and volatilization of shoot nitrogen during drought in perennial prairie grasses
Decreases in shoot nitrogen (N) and increases in root or rhizome N often appear to coincide with drought in several perennial C$\sb4$ grasses native to tallgrass prairie. This suggests that remobilization of shoot N may occur in response to water stress in these species, which would likely have …

The role of strigolactone and auxin in the regulation of shoot branching
Shoot branching is an essential ecological and agronomical trait regulated by the complex interaction of many signals, of which phytohormones are among the main actors. In this thesis I investigate the role of strigolactone and auxin in controlling bud growth dynamics and their effect on plant …

The Control of the Root to Shoot Ratio of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.)
The regulation of the root to shoot ratio of radish was studied with emphasis on the factors controlling assimilate distribution. Analysis of indol-3yl-acetic acid (lAA) and gibberellin levels in radish through its vegetative cycle revealed that shoot hormone levels, initially high, declined with …

The hormonal regulation of PIN protein localisation and its relevance to shoot architecture
Shoot branching plasticity relies on integration of diverse signals to regulate the activity of buds, which is partially mediated through auxin transport by PINs and the regulation thereof. Whilst PIN behaviour has been well characterised, the mechanisms by which PINs sense and respond to auxin, …

"It's just a cross, don't shoot": white Supremacy and Christonormativity in a small midwestern town
This paper, guided by poststructuralist and feminist theories, examines public discourse that emerged in response to a controversy over whether a large cross should be removed from public property in a highly visible location in Grand Haven, Michigan. Situating the controversy within the context of …

Investigating the Roles of Three Aintegumenta-Like Genes In Maintenance of Arabidopsis Shoot Meristem Activity
<p>The shoot apical meristem, a small dome-shaped structure at the shoot apex of higher plants, is established during development of the embryo. After germination, the indeterminate activity of the shoot apical meristem is responsible for the initiation of all aboveground parts of the plant. The …

Shoot Flammability Patterns in Urban Plants at the Wildland-Urban Interface of the Greater Sydney Region
This thesis expanded practical shoot flammability assessments of native and exotic plants within Australia, using a bespoke flammability device. The worsening nature of wildfires on the eastern coast of Australia due to climate change, poses a great risk to populations living at the wildland urban …

Shoot the Messenger or Change the Message: What are African American Men Learning About Choosing College?
This study identified and described the experiences of twelve African American men that influenced the choice to participate in postsecondary education. This qualitative study used a phenomenology framework to determine 1) the formation of predisposition in the college choice process, 2) the …

Effects of elevated carbon dioxide concentration and temperature on needle morphology and shoot growth in Norway spruce
… of [CO2] and T on needle morphology and shoot growth. It was made by using whole-tree chambers around mature trees. In this research the main goal was to find out what effects elevated [CO2] and T had on specific needle area (SNA), needle density, needle length and width, annual shoot …

Natural genetic variation and gene expression patterns underlying lateral shoot (tiller) development in barley (Hordeum vulgare L)
The main shoot and other above-ground tissues develop from the shoot apical meristem (SAM), including axillary meristems (AXM) from which lateral branches develop. In barley, lateral branches called tillers contribute directly to grain yield and define shoot architecture. Two studies were completed …

"Training the Young Idea How to Shoot" : Teaching in Barnes County, the First Thirty Years, 1879-1909
<p>Traditionally women and their role in history has been overlooked or under-represented. This thesis will look at teachers and education in Barnes County, Dakota Territory and North Dakota, from the years 1879 to 1909. By 1879 the feminization of the teaching profession had occurred, and most …

Evaluation of additive and nonadditive genetic variation in elite maize germplasm for root, shoot, and ear characteristics
For the hybrid seed corn industry, corn breeding and research in the public sector ideally would serve the role of identifying novel genes, alleles, and breeding procedures that have promising commercial applications. However, despite increasing research on public germplasm improvement, the role is …
