Tasco (R), a Product of Ascophyllum nodosum, Imparts Thermal Stress Tolerance in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2011-11)Tasco (R), a commercial product manufactured from the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum, has been shown to impart thermal stress tolerance in animals. We investigated the physiological, biochemical and molecular bases of ... -
Detecting Bare Spots in Wild Blueberry Fields using Digital Color Photography
(2010-09)Wild blueberry fields are developed from native stands on deforested land by removing competing vegetation The majority of fields are situated in naturally acidic and non-fertile sods that have high proportions of bare ... -
Automated, Low-Cost Yield Mapping of Wild Blueberry Fruit
(2010-03)The presence of weeds, bare spots, and variation in fruit yield within wild blueberry fields emphasizes the need for yield mapping for site-specific application of agrochemicals. An automated yield monitoring system ... -
Delineating Management Zones for Site Specific Fertilization in Wild Blueberry Fields
(2012-01)The concept of management zones has been proposed as a solution to the problems associated with the soil variability to more efficiently apply agricultural inputs on a site-specific basis. This study was designed to ... -
Emergent Properties of Patch Shapes Affect Edge Permeability to Animals
(2011-07)Animal travel between habitat patches affects populations, communities and ecosystems. There are three levels of organization of edge properties, and each of these can affect animals. At the lowest level are the different ... -
Nitric oxide reductase-targeted real-time PCR quantification of denitrifier populations in soil
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-07)The quantification of denitrifying bacteria is a component in the further understanding of denitrification processes in the environment. Real-time PCR primers were designed to target two segments of the denitrifier ... -
Controlled release fertilizer product effects on potato crop response and nitrous oxide emissions under rain-fed production on a medium-textured soil
(2012-08)Zebarth, B. J., Snowdon, E., Burton, D. L., Goyer, C. and Dowbenko, R. 2012. Controlled release fertilizer product effects on potato crop response and nitrous oxide emissions under rain-fed production on a medium-textured ... -
Changes in bacterial denitrifier community abundance over time in an agricultural field and their relationship with denitrification activity
(2008-10)This study measured total bacterial and denitrifier community abundances over time in an agricultural soil cropped to potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) by using quantitative PCR. Samples were collected on 10 dates from ... -
Permeable Synthetic Covers for Controlling Emissions from Liquid Dairy Manure
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2010-03)Liquid manure storages emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) and ammonia (NH(3)), which can have negative effects in the atmosphere and ecosystems. Installing a floating cover on liquid manure storages is one approach for ... -
Effect of pH and Temperature on Denitrification Gene Expression and Activity in Pseudomonas mandelii
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-06)Pseudomonas mandelii liquid cultures were studied to determine the effect of pH and temperature on denitrification gene expression, which was quantified by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. Denitrification was ... -
Effect of Nitrate and Acetylene on nirS, cnorB, and nosZ Expression and Denitrification Activity in Pseudomonas mandelii
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-08)Nitrate acts as an electron acceptor in the denitrification process. The effect of nitrate in the range of 0 to 1,000 mg/liter on Pseudomonas mandelii nirS, cnorB, and nosZ gene expression was studied, using quantitative ... -
Nitric Oxide Reductase Gene Expression and Nitrous Oxide Production in Nitrate-Grown Pseudomonas mandelii
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-11)Pure cultures of Pseudomonas mandelii were incubated with or without nitrate, which acts as a substrate and an electron acceptor for denitrification. Nitric oxide reductase (cnorB) gene expression was measured using a ... -
