Image_2_The Effect of Drought on Transcriptome and Hormonal Profiles in Barley Genotypes With Contrasting Drought Tolerance.png by Amal Harb (9911961)

“…The major differences that emerged from the transcriptome analysis are; (1), the overall number of differentially expressed genes was relatively low in drought-tolerant Otis compared to drought-sensitive Baronesse; (2), a wax biosynthesis gene (CER1), and NAC transcription factors were specifically induced in Otis but not in Baronesse; (3), the degree of upregulation of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase and a homeobox transcription factor (genes with proven roles in imparting drought tolerance), was greater in Otis compared to Baronesse; (4) the extent of downregulation of gene expression profiles for proteins of the reaction center photosystem II (PSII) (D1 and D2) was low in Otis compared to Baronesse; and, (5), alternative splicing (AS) was also found to differ between the genotypes under drought. …”

Caesarean section association with chronic immune disorders by Maria Francetic (796315)

“…The frequencies of allergies are increasing in prevalence in countries around the world (specifically western countries) and has no specific identification of a source (5-6).One of the predominate theories explaining the correlation between CD and higher rates of asthma, obesity, allergens during childhood is the hygiene hypothesis, insinuating that the introduction and growth of microbial flora in the intestines during prenatal and postnatal development correlates to faster developing immune system which decrease probability of developing allergic diseases.…”
