Green leaf volatiles (GLV) have been mostly associated with the regulation of defense responses. in particular defense priming. in plants. However. we found that GLV are also regulators of abiotic stress responses and for example protect against cold stress damage. Plants that were treated with GLV at physiological concentrations showed less cold damage and retained normal growth while untreated plants showed severe damage and growth reduction under the same conditions. We have further identified GLV- and cold-inducible sets of genes. which appear to be involved in carbohydrate metabolism.

The goal of this project is to guide the investigation of the effects of the experimental drug on male fertility in male marmosets. Marmoset fertility will be assessed via sperm collection and testicular biopsy to determine whether the drug effectively ends the production of live sperm.

Preterm Infants: Up to 5 pregnant baboons will be moved indoors to single caging. They will have a healthcheck with blood collection as well as an ultrasound to confirm gestational age of pregnancy. The blood will be processed for a CBC and routine chemistry by the SNPRC Clinical Pathology Laboratory. Upon approval by both the SNPRC veterinarian and PI, three animals will be selected to receive two injections of antenatal steroids followed by a C-section for preterm delivery. Unselected dams will be released back to the SNPRC colony.
