Identification of heat tolerant upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) germplasm utilizing chlorophyll fluorescence measurement
(2013-07-16)
Heat stress adversely affects upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in the U.S.. A low level of genetic variability in domesticated upland cotton is one of the major constraints for cotton germplasm improvement. ...
Identification of Individual Contributions to Total Flicker Levels in Electric Power Systems
(2010-04-02)
Total flicker levels in an electric power system can be contributed to from multiple sources of flicker. Methodologies for allocating portions of this total flicker level to the responsible loads are studied. The representation ...
Identification of Molecular Biomarkers for Male Reproductive Success in Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus)
(2022-04-27)
The overall objective of this project was to understand the underlying physiological and
molecular processes that are associated with sperm production and function. The primary
objective was to identify RNA biomarkers ...
Identification of new components involved in shoot gravitropism in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2015-07-24)
Plants can reorient their growth according to environmental cues such as light, water, nutrients, gravity etc. Shoots (hypocotyls and inflorescence stems) of the plants exhibit negative gravitropism. Germinating seeds are ...
Identification of novel biosynthetic gene clusters and bacterial taxa from a soil microbiome using metagenomic approaches
(2021-04-21)
