2008 journal article
Olfactomedin-2 mediates development of the anterior central nervous system and head structures in zebrafish
MECHANISMS OF DEVELOPMENT, 125(1-2), 167–181.
author keywords: olfactomedin-2; Pax6.1; zebrafish; islet-1; branchiomotor neurons; cranial neural crest; crestin
MeSH headings : Animals; Body Patterning; Central Nervous System / embryology; Extracellular Matrix Proteins / genetics; Extracellular Matrix Proteins / physiology; Eye Proteins / genetics; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Glycoproteins / genetics; Glycoproteins / physiology; Homeodomain Proteins / genetics; PAX6 Transcription Factor; Paired Box Transcription Factors / genetics; RNA, Messenger / genetics; Repressor Proteins / genetics; Zebrafish / embryology
TL;DR:
It is shown in zebrafish that olfactomedin-2 (OM2) is a developmentally regulated gene, and that knockdown of protein expression by morpholino antisense oligonucleotides leads to perturbations of nervous system development.

2008 journal article
Expression of a harpin-encoding gene in rice confers durable nonspecific resistance to Magnaporthe grisea
PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY JOURNAL, 6(1), 73–81.
author keywords: appressorium; defence-related genes; durable nonspecific resistance; hrf1 gene; Magnaporthe grisea; rice
MeSH headings : Bacterial Outer Membrane Proteins / genetics; Bacterial Outer Membrane Proteins / metabolism; Gene Expression; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Magnaporthe / immunology; Magnaporthe / physiology; Oryza / genetics; Oryza / immunology; Oryza / microbiology; Plant Diseases; Plant Leaves / metabolism; Silicon / metabolism; Xanthomonas / genetics
TL;DR:
It is shown that the expression of a harpin-encoding gene (hrf1) confers nonspecific resistance in rice to the blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea, and it is suggested that harpins may offer new opportunities for generating broad-spectrum disease resistance in other crops.

2008 review
Diverse and conserved roles of CLE peptides
[Review of ]. CURRENT OPINION IN PLANT BIOLOGY, 11(1), 75–81.
MeSH headings : Animals; Arabidopsis / metabolism; Arabidopsis / parasitology; Arabidopsis / physiology; Arabidopsis Proteins / metabolism; Meristem / metabolism; Meristem / physiology; Multigene Family; Peptides / metabolism; Protein Interaction Domains and Motifs / physiology; Tylenchoidea / genetics; Tylenchoidea / metabolism
TL;DR:
This discovery demonstrated an unprecedented adaptation of an animal gene product to functionally mimic a plant peptide involved in cellular signaling for parasitic benefit.

2008 journal article
Broadening the application of evolutionarily based genetic pest management
EVOLUTION, 62(2), 500–510.
author keywords: applied evolutionary biology; gene drive; genetic pest management; selfish DNA
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Genetically Modified; Biological Evolution; DNA / metabolism; Drosophila / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Genetic Techniques; Genetic Variation; Insect Control; Insecta / genetics; Mice; Models, Genetic; Pest Control; Pest Control, Biological; Rats
TL;DR:
Research efforts in the developing field of Genetic Pest Management could lead to new insights about the evolution of selfish genetic elements in natural systems and will provide students with the opportunity to develop a more sophisticated understanding of the role of evolutionary biology in solving societal problems.

2008 review
The movement of proteins across the insect and tick digestive system
[Review of ]. JOURNAL OF INSECT PHYSIOLOGY, 54(2), 319–332.
author keywords: digestive system; protein movement; protein insecticide
MeSH headings : Animals; Digestive System / metabolism; Insect Proteins / metabolism; Insecta / metabolism; Protein Transport; Ticks / metabolism
TL;DR:
Protein movement was observed for both normal dietary and xenobiotic proteins, which suggest that the mechanism for transfer is not substrate specific and could be highly significant to the future of protein and nucleic acid-based insecticide development as well as traditional chemical insecticidal technologies.

Temperature and precipitation affect seasonal patterns of dispersing tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca, and onion thrips, Thrips tabaci (Thysanoptera : Thripidae) caught on sticky traps
ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 37(1), 79–86.
author keywords: insect dispersal; tomato spotted wilt virus; epidemiology
TL;DR:
Effects of temperature and precipitation on the temporal patterns of dispersing tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca, and onion thrive, Thrips tabaci, caught on yellow sticky traps were estimated in central and eastern North Carolina and eastern Virginia from 1997 through 2001.

Is it live or is it memorex? Students' synchronous and asynchronous communication with scientists
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENCE EDUCATION, 30(4), 495–514.
TL;DR:
Students in the asynchronous group asked significantly more inquiry and interpretation questions of scientists and fewer questions about the scientists than students in the synchronous group, and both groups showed significant gains in knowledge of virus types and morphology.
