Genetic engineering of disease resistance in poplar : effects of bacterio-opsin over-expression and analysis of a copper-based system for resistance-gene activation

Creator:

Mohamed, Rozi

Abstract:

We tested a synthetic bacterio-opsin (bO) gene derived from Halobacterium halobium for its effect on disease resistance in transgenic poplar hybrids, and assessed a genetic system for controlling expression of this gene. In tobacco the bO gene caused necrotic lesions similar to an induced hypersensitive response (HR), increased levels of...

Expression and Function of Populus Homologs to TERMINAL FLOWER 1 Genes: Roles in Onset of Flowering and Shoot Phenology

Creator:

Mohamed, Rozi

Abstract:

We isolated and characterized the expression of two genes from Populus trichocarpa that are homologous to the TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1) gene from the model annual plant Arabidopsis. In Arabidopsis, overexpression of the TFL1 gene extends the vegetative growth phase, and the homozygous mutant tfl1 allele causes early flowering and...
