Abstract: <p>This thesis presents a case of the aquatic plant species Fanwort (Cabomba caroliniana) significantly naturalizing in Kasshabog Lake in bays where it had been invasive. This significant naturalization presents major implications for invasive species management and invasion biology because the naturalization of invasive species is a phenomenon that has been largely omitted from study… more

Abstract: <p>Using Drosophila deficiency (Df) and Over Expression (OE) (GAL4/UAS&gt;dCas9-VPR; sgRNA) gene systems, it was demonstrated that Dmel_CG31381 and Dmel_CG11089 are functional tRNA isopentenyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.8) genes (tRNA IPT1 and IPT2) critical to the first committed step in insect cytokinin biosynthesis. IPT Df mutants showed significant decreases in total CK levels and IPT1/… more
