  • Mutagenesis and Crystallization of Ptr ToxB, a host-selective toxin of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis

    Creator:
    Miles-Rockenfield, Kara B.
    Abstract:
    Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) is the fungal causal agent of the disease tan spot in wheat and causes necrosis and chlorosis in infected leaves. These symptoms are caused by host-selective toxins (HSTs), molecules that serve as the sole determinants of pathogenicity. Ptr has three known HSTs, the proteinaceous Ptr ToxA and...

  • Nongenomic Actions of Steroid Hormones in the Ovine Endometrium

    Creator:
    Ireton, Kyle E.
    Abstract:
    The steroid hormone estrogen plays a crucial role in regulating certain mammalian tissues, especially female reproductive systems. Estrogen effects physiological changes in the cell by altering transcription activity for certain target genes, as a consequence of interactions between estradiol-17β (E2) and its nuclear receptor (nER). This mechanism of cellular control...

  • Gene Structure and Expression of the Rice S-Domain Kinase (SD-RLK) Gene Subfamily

    Creator:
    Dikeman, Daemon
    Abstract:
    The S-domain subfamily of receptor-like kinases (SD-RLKs) in plants is poorly characterized and the majority of genes have unknown functions. The goal of this study was to study the expansion of rice (Oryza sativa) SD-RLK subfamily, and characterize gene and protein structure and expression of its members using publicly available...
