This book chapter provides an overview of the genomics and postgenomic technologies that are likely to have the greatest impacts on agronomy over the next 10-20 years and describes a number of case studies of their application.

Presentation for the 2007 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas. This presentation discusses research on characterizing the changes in tissue morphology occurring in the emu ductus arteriosus during hatching and what role apoptosis plays during the process of the ductus closure.

Article on the detection and quantification of engineered proanthocyanidins in transgenic plants.

Article on different mechanisms for phytoalexin induction by pathogen and wound signals in Medicago truncatula.

Article reporting that transgenic Arabidopsis plants constitutively expressing the Cys2/His2 zinc finger protein Zat7 have suppressed growth and are more tolerant to salinity stress. Findings demonstrate that the EAR-domain of Cys2/His2-type zinc finger proteins plays a key role in the defense response of Arabidopsis to abiotic stresses.

Article on evidence that mono-ADP-ribosylation of CtBP1/BARS regulates lipid storage.

Article on a functional genomics approach to (iso)flavonoid glycosylation in the model legume Medicago truncatula.

This paper discusses a research study on independence and maneuverability related to regular exercise among non-institutionalized elderly adults.

Article on the role of hypoxia in the evolution and development of the cardiovascular system.

Article accompanying a poster presentation for the 2007 Computational Neuroscience Meeting. This article discusses a self-adaptive burst-detection algorithm.

With a current population of just over half a million and a 2030 projected population of approximately one million, expansion throughout Denton County shows no sign of slowing down (NCTCOG). Increasingly, freshwater resources are also facing increased pressure from this urban expansion. Effective assessment and management techniques are necessary to protect the diversity of ecosystem services found within fluvial ecosystems and to mitigate current and future conditions of environmental stressor amplified by urban development. The use of various spatial analysis techniques in environmental assessment present more expedient, cost effective, and broader ranging methods of evaluation than traditional field techniques. One such novel evaluation technique is the Water Quality Corridor Management (WQCM) model, developed by the University of North Texas in cooperation with the Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD). The WQCM model is a geospatial database that utilizes GIS and remote sensing techniques to assess and prioritize stream reaches according to their overall health and sustainability. This project assessed the viability of the WQCM model in reviewing the status of stream systems, and ultimately, established an accurate mechanism for evaluating the stream corridor and surface water quality draining into Lewisville Lake, a popular recreation site and drinking water source for …
