Effects of Heterodera Glycines Population Densities on Fusarium Solani F. Sp. Glycines Colonization of Soybean Roots and Development of Sudden Death Syndrome
… was explored, relative quantification with real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR), to estimate fungal colonization of soybean roots. QPCR was more sensitive than the plating bioassays at detecting the fungus: Fsg DNA was detected in 371 out of 372 root samples with QPCR, while CFU were only …

The effect of phosphorus and nitrogen limitation on viral infection in microcystis aeruginosa NIES298 using the cyanophage Ma-LMM01
<p>Throughout different times in freshwater cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHAB), the availability of specific nutrients from the environment varies, causing fluctuations in the severity and species composition of a bloom. In addition to nutrient regulation of blooms, the cyanobacteria are …

The rumen microbial ecosystem during the transition period in dairy cows
… haylage. Ruminal digesta were collected at five times: -14, -7, 10, 20, and 28 days around parturition. Total DNA from ruminal digesta was isolated and real-time quantitative PCR was used to determine the relative abundance of bacterial species. Eubacterium ruminantium and Selenomonas ruminantium …

Vimentin Overexpression Contributes To the Biological Properties of Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer Cells
… this study, we confirmed this difference using real-time quantitative PCR, western blot analysis, and immunostaining. Furthermore, EGF and TGF-β, growth factors that induce migration and invasion of HN12 cells, produced synergistic increases in vimentin expression. To assess the contribution of …

Effect of Chinese Knotweed Extract on HSV-1 Infection of Vero Cells
… decreased. Furthermore, molecular analysis from real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays suggest that 0.1% CKs concentrations are able to inhibit >98% of HSV-1 viral entry when compared to untreated HSV-1 positive controls. Overall, CKs ability to prevent in vitro HSV-1 infection may provide …

Enhancement of Protective Immune Responses in Chickens against Marek's Disease Virus
The work presented in this thesis is an investigation of the use of toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists to induce or enhance immunity in chickens against Marek’s disease virus (MDV). Initially, synthetic double-stranded (ds) RNA, polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic (poly(I:C)) was administered via …

A Study of Antibiotic Resistance Plasmids in Fresh Produce and In Wastewater Environments Using Functional Approaches, Comparative Genomics and Abundance Analysis
… pPIMR and pFEMG. Using enrichment culture and real-time quantitative PCR approaches respectively, it was determined that conventional wastewater treatment processes markedly reduced the abundance of plasmids encoding ciprofloxacin resistance genes and incF family incompatibility genes. …

Immunotoxicity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and Diethylstilbestrol (DES) in the Fetal Mouse Thymus and Liver
… basophilia and more prominent nucleoli. Real time quantitative PCR demonstrated that DES decreased c-jun, Bcl-2, and PKCalpha mRNA expression. These results suggest a shift away from proliferative activity and may reflect alterations noted predominantly in the hematopoietic population. …

Investigation of the Genetic Basis of Antibiotic Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
… of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, coupled with the time it takes to perform phenotypic drug susceptibility testing of this organism, makes the treatment of tuberculosis increasingly difficult. Several genotypic assays for the rapid detection of drug resistance in M. tuberculosis have been developed, …
