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 the urbanizing Dallas and Fort Worth metropolitan area.</p>Improved forage digestibility of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) by transgenic down-regulation of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase2014-12-19T16:08:48-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc485922/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc485922/"><img alt="Improved forage digestibility of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) by transgenic down-regulation of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase" title="Improved forage digestibility of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) by transgenic down-regulation of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc485922/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Article on improved forage digestibility of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) by transgenic down-regulation of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase.</p>Functional analysis of members of the isoflavone and isoflavanone O-methyltransferase enzyme families from the model legume Medicago truncatula2015-01-22T09:04:02-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc488190/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc488190/"><img alt="Functional analysis of members of the isoflavone and isoflavanone O-methyltransferase enzyme families from the model legume Medicago truncatula" title="Functional analysis of members of the isoflavone and isoflavanone O-methyltransferase enzyme families from the model legume Medicago truncatula" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc488190/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Article on a functional analysis of members of the isoflavone and isoflavanone O-methyltransferase enzyme families from the model legume Medicago truncatula.</p>Beyond Structural Genomics for Plant Science2015-02-06T09:38:11-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc499074/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc499074/"><img alt="Beyond Structural Genomics for Plant Science" title="Beyond Structural Genomics for Plant Science" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc499074/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>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.</p>Genome-wide mutagenesis of Zea mays L. using RescueMu transposons2012-03-09T14:17:36-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc77168/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc77168/"><img alt="Genome-wide mutagenesis of Zea mays L. using RescueMu transposons" title="Genome-wide mutagenesis of Zea mays L. using RescueMu transposons" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc77168/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>This article discusses genome-wide mutagenesis of Zea mays L. using RescueMu transposons.</p>Bacterial Cyanide Oxygenase Is a Suite of Enzymes Catalyzing the Scavenging and Adventitious Utilization of Cyanide as a Nitrogenous Growth Substrate2014-03-31T08:53:33-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc279691/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc279691/"><img alt="Bacterial Cyanide Oxygenase Is a Suite of Enzymes Catalyzing the Scavenging and Adventitious Utilization of Cyanide as a Nitrogenous Growth Substrate" title="Bacterial Cyanide Oxygenase Is a Suite of Enzymes Catalyzing the Scavenging and Adventitious Utilization of Cyanide as a Nitrogenous Growth Substrate" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc279691/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Article on bacterial cyanide oxygenase as a suite of enzymes catalyzing the scavenging and adventitious utilization of cyanide as a nitrogenous growth substrate.</p>BOV -
