  • Processing and functional diversity of plant microRNA

    Creator:
    Cuperus, Josh
    Abstract:
    RNA interference pathways can involve amplification of secondary siRNAs by RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. In plants, RDR6-dependent secondary siRNAs, including transacting siRNAs (tasiRNAs), arise from transcripts targeted by some microRNAs (miRNAs). In the case of TAS3 tasiRNA formation, ARGONAUTE7 (AGO7)-miR390 complexes interact with primary transcripts at two sites, resulting in recruitment...

  • Small RNA pathways in plants

    Creator:
    Montgomery, Taiowa A.
    Abstract:
    miRNA-guided cleavage initiates entry of primary transcripts into the trans-acting siRNA (tasiRNA) biogenesis pathway involving RNA-DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASE6 (RDR6), DICER-LIKE 4 (DCL4), and SUPPRESSOR OF GENE SILENCING3 (SGS3). Arabidopsis thaliana TAS1 and TAS2 families yield tasiRNA that form through miR173- guided initiation cleavage on the 5’ side of the siRNA-generating...

  • Advances in Freshwater Cyanobacterial Genomics

    Creator:
    Brown, Nathaniel M.
    Abstract:
    Limnology is undergoing a transition to high-throughput -omic analysis of freshwater bacterial communities. An important first step in making the transition is to characterize several genomes that can be used as references to guide metagenome assembly and analysis. Here I characterize four new freshwater cyanobacterial genomes, a pair of lake...

  • The proteomic and transcriptomic responses to iron, sulfur, and nitrogen limitation in the abundant marine bacterium Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique

    Creator:
    Smith, Daniel P.
    Abstract:
    Batch cultures of Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique were grown under iron-, organosulfur-, and nitrogen-limiting conditions to understand how this ubiquitous marine bacterium responds to and interacts with environments where growth is limited by the availability of these nutrients. Global gene expression was monitored using microarrays and quantitative mass spectrometry to observe...

  • Impacts of microbial chemical interactions on marine plankton physiology

    Creator:
    Moore, Eric R.
    Abstract:
    The bioavailability of chemical compounds in the marine environment fundamentally influences the growth and physiology of microorganisms. Organic and inorganic chemicals that are produced by some marine plankton can be consumed by other plankton for energy production, growth, or to initiate essential physiological processes. Cultures of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana,...
