Molecular genetic analysis of fruit development in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, Mill.)

Creator:

Balbi, Virginia

Abstract:

Plant hormones regulate progression through the different phases of plant development in response to endogenous and environmental cues. Gene expression studies, as well as genetic and molecular analysis of mutants with altered hormonal responses, are two common approaches to elucidate hormone response pathways. This dissertation compares ovary and fruit development...

Regulation by male-specific fruitless of neural circuitry used during courtship and copulation behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:

Latham, Kristin Lynn

Abstract:

Courtship and copulation behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster males are regulated by sex-specific products from the gene fruitless (fru). Male-specific FRU proteins (FRU[superscript M]) are putative transcription factors of the BTB-ZnF family that likely act by controlling development and maintenance of the neural circuitry used during male sexual behavior. However, which...
