Changes in physiology and reproductive success in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) exposed to pulp and paper mill effluent / by Jacob D. Ouellet.
(2008)As part of their manufacturing process, pulp and paper mills release effluent into waterways that may affect the fecundity, morphology, and physiology of invertebrates and vertebrates in the receiving ecosystem (Kovacs et ... -
Characterization of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) cell lines as models to study pulp and paper effluent effects in fish
(2012-11-10)The effects of aquatic toxicants on fish growth and development have been well-documented, in contrast to the changes in gene expression that necessarily precede them. Many of these toxicants are exogenous compounds that ... -
The effect of metformin on absolute telomere length
(2018)In this study, the relationship between average absolute telomere length and metformin use was examined. Human blood samples were obtained from 106 participants ranging from 42-100 years old. Samples were split into four ... -
Identification of genes involved in early endodormancy break in potato tubers
(2013)The growth and harvest of potato tubers for agricultural purposes is important both in Canada and worldwide, and the agronomic importance of this crop is steadily growing. A major issue affecting the storage and transport ... -
Long term DNA storage evaluation and methodology
(2021)DNA preservation over the long term is a considerable problem for many fields that still lack a viable, cost-effective, long-term solution. The considerable amount of genetic material that is currently aging in facilities ... -
Tissue culture system facilitates examination of gene expression during breakage of vegetative dormancy in the potato tuber shoot apical meristem
(2008)While the shoot apical meristem's role during dormancy emergence in seeds is relatively well-understood, molecular factors governing vegetative endodormancy and sprouting in tuberous plants have not been well studied. A ...
