Heat Inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes on Pecans, Macadamia Nuts, and Sunflower Seeds Open
Listeria monocytogenes is a major concern for the food industry in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods. In recent years, large-scale recalls have occurred with contaminated sunflower seeds and macadamia nuts that triggered product withdrawals.

Salmonella and Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Serogroups O45, O121, O145 in Wheat Flour: Effects of Long-Term Storage and Thermal Treatments Open
Salmonella and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) are of serious concern in wheat flour and its related products but little is known on their survival and thermal death kinetics. This study was undertaken to determine …

DVL1 and DVL3 differentially localize to CYP19A1 promoters and regulate aromatase mRNA in breast cancer cells Open
The CYP19A1 gene encodes aromatase, an enzyme that converts androgens into estrogens and consequently directly contributes to both the depletion of androgens and the synthesis of estrogens in several organs. Aromatase is critical for diver…

Long-Term Survival and Thermal Death Kinetics of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Serogroups O26, O103, O111, and O157 in Wheat Flour Open
Wheat flour has been associated with outbreaks of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), but little is known on EHEC's survival during storage and thermal processing. The objective of this study was to determine long-term viability and…

Comparative Transcriptomics Indicates a Role for <i>SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE</i> (<i>SVP</i>) Genes in <i>Mimulus guttatus</i> Vernalization Response Open
The timing of reproduction in response to variable environmental conditions is critical to plant fitness, and is a major driver of taxon differentiation. In the yellow monkey flower, Mimulus guttatus, geographically distinct North American…
