Molecular Identification of Plant Pathogens Affecting Cannabis sativa Crops in Nevada
… diseases, morphological, pathological, and molecular approaches were used. This thesis emphasizes molecular approaches, i.e., DNA barcoding, to identify species based on rDNA sequences and analyzing viral capsid protein gene sequences, which enabled the successful identification of every …

N-Acylethanolamine Metabolism During Seed Germination: Molecular Identification of a Functional N-Acylethanolamine Amidohydrolase
… and seedlings, and efforts were directed toward identification of DNA sequences encoding this enzyme. Mammalian tissues metabolize NAEs via an amidase enzyme designated fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). Based on the characteristic amidase signature sequence in mammalian FAAH, a candidate …

Morphological and molecular identification, pathogenicity characterization of colletotrichum species on soybean, and the resistance of soybean genotypes
Colletotrichum species are filamentous fungi. Many species are important pathogens causing economic losses on a wide range of crop plants. Diseases caused by Colletotrichum species often are referred to as anthracnose. The species associated with soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] have not been …

Molecular identification of silk proteins in the gumfooted lines and attachment discs of the black widow spider, latrodectus hesperus
… for material scientists, biochemists, and molecular biologists. Mechanical properties of spider silk such as elasticity, tensile strength, and toughness make the manufacturing of silk for medical sutures, body armor, ropes and other synthetic material applications great possibilities. The …

Molecular identification and antibiogram profiling of Avibacterium Paragallinarum and co-pathogenic bacteria assiciated with respiratory infections in chickens at Groot Aub settlement, Khomas region
… polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and ultimately identification of the bacteria by sequencing analysis. For antibiogram profiling, morphologically distinct, lone standing colonies from the axenic cultures were subjected to antibiotic sensitivity testing using the disc diffusion method. In total, …

Evolutionary Relationships Among Duiker Antelope (Bovidae: Cephalophinae)
… whose recent origin poses a challenge to the molecular identification of taxa and estimation of their phylogeny. I test the ability of DNA barcodes to identify all taxa within this group. I then use mitochondrial and nuclear genes to estimate a multi-locus species tree and to date divergence …

Identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in horses using conventional and molecular techniques
… spa and pvl genes for the rapid and accurate identification of MRSA in horses admitted to the Onderstepoort Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Pretoria. A total of 50 isolates, which consists of isolates from horses and their immediate environment, were included in the study of which …

Proposed Mechanism Explaining Seasonal Biological Foaming in Activated Sludge Systems; Foam-Causing Bacteria Specialize in Consuming Lipids
… rates. Thus, the modeling exercise linked the molecular identification of microbial populations and the determination of their ecological function. Diurnal rRNA profiles were then measured for bacterial populations found in full-scale activated sludge wastewater treatment plants, and the …

Glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis controls C. elegans vulval morphogenesis and is required for the first cell division during embryogenesis
… of chondroitin glycosaminoglycans by molecular identification and characterization of five sqv (uashed vulva) genes. Glycosaminoglycans are known to function in development by binding a large repertoire of ligands involved in morphogenesis and wound healing, in some cases by modulating …

Highly multiplexed molecular mapping of biological samples via integrated experimental and computational technologies
Identification and labeling of diverse molecular identities in biological samples has traditionally come at a price of decreased spatial information. Electron microscopy, with its nanometer spatial resolution and excellent ultrastructure preservation, yet essentially no molecular identification, is …
