Nevertheless, the parasite encodes several hemeproteins, including three members of the Type II cytochrome b5 sub-group of electron transport proteins found in anaerobic protist and amitochondriate organisms.… more Full Text: INTERACTOME STUDY OF GIARDIA INTESTINALIS CYTOCHROMES B5 TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Guillem Dayer 2017 Environmental and Life Sciences Ph.D. Graduate Program May 2017 ABSTRACT Interactome study of Giardia intestinalis …

Abstract: <p>To study the Giardia intestinalis cell cycle, counterflow centrifugal elutriation (CCE) was used to separate an asynchronous trophozoite culture into fractions enriched for cells at the different stages of the cell cycle. For my first objective, I characterized the appearance of a third peak (Peak iii) in our flow cytometry analysis of the CCE fractions that initially suggested the… more Full Text: STUDIES OF THE GIARDIA INTESTINALIS TROPHOZOITE CELL CYCLE A Thesis Submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY …

There are four free base types of CKs found in higher plants, trans-zeatin (tZ), N6-(∆2-isopentenyl)adenine (iP), cis-Zeatin (cZ) and dihydrozeatin (DZ). CK biosynthesis is regulated by adenosine phosphate-isopentenyltransferase (IPT), which is encoded by a multi-gene family… more Full Text: THE REGULATION OF CYTOKININS DURING KERNEL DEVELOPMENT IN HIGH AND LOW YIELDING OAT AND BARLEY LINES A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of …
