Metabolic engineering of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 for the production of astaxanthin
Plant chitinases have long been implicated in defense responses against invading pests and pathogens. In Oryza sativa cv. Nipponbare (rice), chitinases have been shown to co-localize with disease resistance QTL, and are ... -
Mountain pine beetle-caused lodgepole pine mortality from the 1980's and subsequent fire occurrence in Colorado
A need for understanding the interaction between post-epidemic bark beetle forest stands and subsequent fire occurrence has escalated due to recent (1999-2010) unprecedented epidemic mountain pine beetle in lodgepole pine ... -
Metabolic engineering of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 for the production of astaxanthin
Nearly 5,000 mayfly (Ephemeroptera), stonefly (Plecoptera), and caddisfly (Trichoptera) (EPT) species records collected from the South Platte River Basin (SPRB) were compiled from literature, field surveys, and institutional ... -
Metabolic engineering of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 for the production of astaxanthin
The aquatic species Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) and sago pondweed (Stuckenia pectinata) can act in an invasive manner, and when present can negatively impact wildlife habitat. Eurasian watermilfoil is a ... -
Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjomov), ecology and reproduction on five noncultivated grass hosts in high elevation environments
Russian wheat aphid ecology, occurrence, movement, and reproduction on five noncultivated grass hosts was examined in high elevation environments. The objectives of the first study were to: 1) identify Russian wheat aphid ... -
Relative ranking of ornamental flower plants to foraging honey bees (with notes on favorability to bumble bees)
Observations were made during the 2007-2009 growing seasons on the relative attractiveness of various flowering ornamental plants to honey bees (Apis mellifera). This information was collected so that honey bee favorability ...
