Understanding Host-Pathogen Interactions in the Sphaerulina musiva-Populus Pathosystem

Creator:

Dunnell, Kelsey Liann

Abstract:

Host-parasite interactions between the pathogen, Sphaerulina musiva, and its host, Populus spp., were examined in a series of studies. In the first study, variation in resistance of Populus nigra from 7 locations in Europe was differentiated based on the parameters cankers per cm and disease severity score. The analysis evaluated...

Enhancement of cold tolerance in tomato plants by genetic engineering of glycinebetaine biosynthesis

Creator:

Park, Eung-Jun

Abstract:

Tomato [Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.] plants are chilling sensitive and do not naturally accumulate glycinebetaine (GB), a metabolite that functions as a stress protectant in plants. While GB can increase tolerance of tomato plants to salt and drought stresses, its effect on chilling tolerance has not been examined. To evaluate whether...
