Characterization Factors to Assess Land Use Impacts on Pollinator Abundance in Life Cycle Assessment
(American Chemical Society, 2023-02)While wild pollinators play a key role in global food production, their assessment is currently missing from the most commonly used environmental impact assessment method, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This is mainly due ... -
Genome sequence, phylogenetic analysis, and structure-based annotation reveal metabolic potential of Chlorella sp. SLA-04
(Elsevier BV, 2023-01)Algae are a broad class of photosynthetic eukaryotes that are phylogenetically and physiologically diverse. Most of the phylogenetic diversity has been inferred from 18S rDNA sequencing since there are only a few complete ... -
Virtually the Same? Evaluating the Effectiveness of Remote Undergraduate Research Experiences
(American Society for Cell Biology, 2023-06)In-person undergraduate research experiences (UREs) promote students’ integration into careers in life science research. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted institutions hosting summer URE programs to offer them remotely, ... -
Residual effect of narasin on feed intake and rumen fermentation characteristics in Nellore steers fed forage-based diet
(Oxford University Press, 2023-01)This study aimed to evaluate the residual effect of narasin on intake and ruminal fermentation parameters in Nellore cattle fed a forage-based diet. Thirty rumen-cannulated Nellore steers [initial body weight (BW) = 281 ± ... -
Effects of lasalocid, narasin, or virginiamycin supplementation on rumen parameters and performance of beef cattle fed forage-based diet
(Oxford University Press, 2023-04)Two experiments were designed to evaluate the impacts of supplementing lasalocid (LAS), narasin (NAR), or virginiamycin (VRM) on rumen fermentation parameters, apparent nutrient digestibility, and blood parameters (Exp. ... -
Different combinations of monensin and narasin on growth performance, carcass traits, and ruminal fermentation characteristics of finishing beef cattle
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023-04)The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different combinations of monensin and narasin on finishing cattle. In Exp. 1, 40 rumen-cannulated Nellore steers [initial body weight (BW) = 231 ± 3.64 kg] were ... -
Cowpea extrafloral nectar has potential to provide ecosystem services lost in agricultural intensification and support native parasitoids that suppress the wheat stem sawfly
(Oxford Academic, 2023-05)The native parasitoids Bracon cephi (Gahan) and B. lissogaster Muesebeck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) reduce populations of Cephus cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), a native grassland species, and major wheat pest on ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of the Co-Evolution of Wheat and Rust Pathogens
(MDPI, 2023-04)Wheat (Triticum spp.) is a cereal crop domesticated >8000 years ago and the second-most-consumed food crop nowadays. Ever since mankind has written records, cereal rust diseases have been a painful awareness in antiquity ... -
Inhibition of Acetylcholinesterase by Novel Lupinine Derivatives
(MDPI AG, 2023-04)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive impairment due in part to a severe loss of cholinergic neurons in specific brain areas. AD is the most common ... -
A microbial bioherbicide for Striga hermonthica control: production, development, and effectiveness of a seed coating agent
(Wiley, 2023-05)Witchweed (Striga hermonthica), also called striga, is a parasitic weed that causes high yield losses in maize on more than 200 000 ha in Kenya alone. A new commercial, biological herbicide developed in Kenya is able to ... -
Historic trends and sources of year‐over‐year stability in Montana winter wheat yields
(Wiley, 2023-04)Producers desire cultivars that consistently perform with high yields and end-use qualities. Unlike easily recognized average yield improvements, yield stability over time is less examined, especially when considering the ... -
Using spatially variable nitrogen application and crop responses to evaluate crop nitrogen use efficiency
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-05)Low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is ubiquitous in agricultural systems, with mounting global scale consequences for both atmospheric aspects of climate and downstream ecosystems. Since NUE-related soil characteristics ... -
Cumulative stressful events and mental health in young adults after 10 years of Wenchuan earthquake: the role of social support
(Informa UK Limited, 2023-03)Background: After a natural disaster, stressful events often continue to accumulate, affecting individuals in a different manner than the original disaster never occurred. However, few studies have examined these associations, ... -
Cardioprotective Effects of a Selective c-Jun N-terminal Kinase Inhibitor in a Rat Model of Myocardial Infarction
(MDPI AG, 2023-02)Activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) is involved in myocardial injury, left ventricular remodeling (LV), and heart failure (HF) after myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects ... -
Intercropping chickpea–flax for yield and disease management
(Wiley, 2023-03)Ascochyta blight (caused by Ascochyta rabiei) is a primary concern of chickpea production worldwide. Intercropping chickpea with a non-host crop has the potential to suppress this disease and improve resource use efficiency ... -
Identification and Prevalence of Seedborne Botrytis spp. in Dry Pea, Lentil, and Chickpea in Montana
(Scientific Societies, 2023-02)otrytis spp. cause gray mold and are significant pathogens of pulse crops (dry pea, lentil, and chickpea). Seedling infection can result in plant stunting and death. In this study, 100 Botrytis isolates were recovered from ... -
Optimized High Throughput Ascochyta Blight Screening Protocols and Immunity to A. pisi in Pea
(MDPI AG, 2023-03)Ascochyta blight (AB) is a destructive disease of the field pea (Pisum sativum L.) caused by necrotrophic fungal pathogens known as the AB-disease complex. To identify resistant individuals to assist AB resistance breeding, ... -
Comparison of Enrichment and Plating Media for Recovery of Virulent Strains of Yersinia enterocolitica from Inoculated Beef Stew
(Elsevier BV, 1983-11)Five plating agar media were evaluated for their ability to recover pure cultures of virulent strains of Yersinia enterocolitica serotypes O:3, O:8 and O:5,27. Cellobiose-arginine-lysine and bismuth sulfite agars were ... -
