Abstract:: Seed dormancy is defined as the inability of viable seeds to germinate under conditionsotherwise favorable for germination. Dormancy provides a strategy for seeds to germinateat an appropriate time. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a major hormone involved in the regulationof seed dormancy. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of dormancy, the twoexperimental...

Abstract:: Studies using the pluripotent embryonic carcinoma cell line, P19, as a retinoic acid (RA)-responsive model system have been instrumental towards our understanding of the RA-dependent signaling pathways in development and homeostasis. Grp1-associated scaffold protein (GRASP; also known as Tamalin) was first identified by our group, as a gene robustly induced...

Creator:: Wood-Charlson, Elisha M.
Abstract:: Mutualistic associations between cnidarians, such as corals, and photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae provide the trophic and structural foundation of coral reef ecosystems. In many cases, this intracellular mutualism is highly specific and must be established anew for each generation of host corals. The ability to maintain partner specificity across generations implies...

Creator:: Harriff, Melanie J.
Abstract:: Environmental mycobacteria are important opportunistic pathogens for many hosts, including humans, cattle, and fish. Two well-studied species are Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium, a significant cause of disseminated bacterial disease in patients with AIDS, and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the cause of Johne’s disease in cattle. Many other species that are...
