Unidirectional internuclear transfer of linked genes in heterokaryons of Candida albicans
(Wiley - V C H Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 1989)Nutritionally balanced heterokaryons of the naturally diploid, asexual yeast, Candida albicans are produced by fusing protoplasts of complementing auxotrophic strains. Spontaneous unidirectional internuclear transfers of ... -
Urine screening for opioid and Illicit drugs in the total joint arthropiasty population
(Kansas Journal of Medicine, 2020-04-17)Recent studies have shown an increase in post-operative orthopaedic complications associated with pre-operative opioid use. It is, therefore, important to know if patients use opioids before scheduled surgery. The purpose ... -
Use of fecundity measured directly throughout the breeding season to test a source-sink demographic model
(2011-12-01)Populations of landbirds (bird species that occupy terrestrial habitats for most of their life cycle) are declining throughout North America (north of Mexico) and Europe, yet little is known about how demography is driving ... -
Using high-efficiency mouse germline mutagenesis to investigate complex biological phenomena: genetic diseases, behavior, and development
(Royal Society of Medicine Press, 1995-09)A valuable approach to investigating a biological process is to study the effect of mutations in the involved genes. By studying a diverse set of such mutations, one can gain important insights into the roles that the given ... -
Variation in herbivore-mediated indirect effects of an invasive plant on a native plant
(2007-02)Theory predicts that damage by a shared herbivore to a secondary host plant species may either be higher or lower in the vicinity of a preferred host plant species. To evaluate the importance of ecological factors, such ... -
Variations for susceptibilities to ultraviolet induced cellular inactivation and gene segregation among protoplast fusion hybrids of Candida albicans
(University of Cambridge * Faculty Press, 1988)Hybrids of the naturally diploid, asexual and opportunistically pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans, can be obtained artificially by protoplast fusion. Evidence is presented that gene conversion and reciprocal recombination ... -
VEGF blockade decelerates the growth of a murine experimental osteosarcoma
(Spandidos Publications, 2008-08)Retrovirus-mediated sFlt-1 gene modification was performed to examine the influence of VEGF in controlling the growth of an experimental osteosarcoma in mice. Human osteosarcoma G-292 cells were in vitro infected with ... -

Weaving a tangled web: divergent and reticulate speciation in Boechera fendleri sensu lato (Brassicaceae: Boechereae)
(American Society of Plant Taxonomists, 2015-08)Hybrid speciation is relatively common in plants compared to other well-studied groups. Polyploidy and apomixis are strongly associated with hybrid speciation, presumably due to the opportunities they provide for both ... -
West Nile virus antibodies in permanent resident and overwintering migrant birds in south-central Kansas
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2008-06)We conducted serological studies, using epitope-blocking ELISAs directed at West Nile virus (WNV) and flavivirus antibodies, of wild birds in south-central Kansas, the first for this state, in the winters of 2003-04 through ... -
What is Salvinia molesta (Salviniaceae)? Determining the maternal progenitor and genetic diversity of the clonal invasive fern giant salvinia
(Institute for Ionics, 2023-04-01)The aquatic fern Salvinia molesta D.S. Mitch. is an invasive species that can have devastating effects on the freshwater habitats it colonizes. Currently, a lack of clarity surrounding the genomic composition and genetic ... -
Wichita State University Virtual Herbarium: Filling a critical gap
(Kansas State University. Great Plains Plant Systematics Symposium, 2010-10-08)The Wichita State University (WSU) Herbarium is an active, regional collection with data that fill an important geographical gap in the Great Plains region. Specimens and associated data are essential in the management ... -
Xenogeniates, a new and unusual genus of geniatine scarab (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Geniatini) from Brazil
(Entomological Society of America, 2001-11)A new genus and species of geniatine scarab is described from southeastern Brazil. The genus Xenogeniates is characterized by the unusual shape of the mesosternum, which is strongly invaginated and concave. Unusual ...
