Repeated sequences associated with inversions and length mutations in the chloroplast genomes of Pseudotsuga and Pinus

Creator:: Hipkins, Valerie D.
Abstract:: To help understand the mechanisms of conifer chloroplast genome evolution, we characterized the nucleotide sequences of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesiz) and Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) chioroplast DNA that are associated with a length mutation hotspot and inversion. The chloroplast DNA ofthese two conifers are characterized by shared large inversions that are...

Chloroplast DNA variability and phylogeny in the California closed cone pines

Creator:: Hong, Yong-pyo, 1958-
Abstract:: Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) variability and phylogeny were studied via analysis of restriction site mutations and DNA sequencing in a complex of three closely related species of pines: Pinus radiata D. Don, P. attenuata Lemm., and muricata D. Don. Genomic DNA from 384 trees representing 20 populations in the complex were...

Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA polymorphism and phylogeny in the California closed-cone pines

Creator:: Wu, Junyuan
Abstract:: We studied genetic polymorphism and phylogeny using nuclear random amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPDs) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the three California Closed-Cone Pines: Pinus attenuata Lemm., P. muricata D. Don, and P. radiata D. Don. A total of 343 to 384 trees derived from...

Overexpression of the GROWTH REGULATING FACTOR 4-GRF-INTERACTING FACTOR 1 Transcription Factor Chimera Modifies Transformation and Regeneration Efficiency in Populus and Eucalyptus

Creator:: Ryan, Nathaniel W.
Abstract:: Transformation is a major bottleneck for genetic engineering and gene editing in forest tree species. This includes most genotypes of Populus and Eucalyptus, which are some of the world’s most widely-cultivated genera of plantation forest trees. To provide new tools for transformation, I tested the transcription factor-protein chimera consisting of...

Evaluation of transgenes for stress tolerance, lignin modification, and growth enhancement in poplar

Creator:: Elias, Ani Anna
Abstract:: We evaluated genes previously identified from a large scale functional genomics screen for their potential value to help enhance carbon sequestration in planted trees. We used poplar as a model tree species because of its abundant genetic variation, ease of gene transfer, and availability of large databases for genomic, anatomical,...

Dispersed repetitive sequences in the chloroplast genome of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)

Creator:: Tsai, Ching-Hsiu
Abstract:: Chloroplast genomes of conifers are unusual in a number of respects, including the possession of much repetitive DNA. By studying the distribution and sequences of dispersed repetitive DNA, I hoped to gain insight into the mechanisms of chloroplast genome evolution. I used restriction mapping and DNA sequencing to characterize dispersed...

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...

Functional Characterization and Classification of Genes Essential to Flower Induction, Flower Development, and Seed Development in Populus and Eucalyptus

Creator:: Elorriaga, Estefania
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of four studies of Populus and Eucalyptus biotechnology and genomic science: 1) induction of floral sterility by tapetal expression of the ribonuclease Barnase in Populus; 2) CRISPR Cas9-mediated gene editing targeting LEAFY (LFY) and AGAMOUS (AG) homologs in Populus; 3) induction of floral sterility by CRISPR Cas9...

Identification and Functional Characterization of Genes that Regulate Biomass Production, Floral Development, and Leaf Senescence in Populus Species using Genetic Engineering and Bioinformatics Tools

Creator:: Lu, Haiwei
Abstract:: This dissertation is comprised of four studies on different elements of Populus biotechnology and genomic science: 1) growth improvement by recombinant DNA (rDNA) modification of gibberellin (GA) metabolism; 2) gene editing using zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs); 3) induction of floral sterility by RNA interference (RNAi) of AGAMOUS (AG) gene homologs; and...
