Creator:: Jogdeo, Sanjuro
Abstract:: The Pentatricopeptide Repeat (PPR) gene family produces RNA-binding proteins that target organellar transcripts. The PPR family is expanded in land plants, with nearly 450 genes identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. In plants with a Cytoplasmic Male Sterility (CMS) phenotype, members of the PPR family can act as a RESTORER OF FERTILITY...

Creator:: Sathuvalli, Vidyasagar R.
Abstract:: European hazelnut, Corylus avellana L., is the only economically important nut crop in the family Betulaceae. One of the threats to the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is the fungal disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the pyrenomycete Anisogramma anomala. Host genetic resistance to EFB identified in the...

Creator:: Fahlgren, Noah
Abstract:: Eukaryotic small RNA (~20-30 nucleotides) are diverse regulatory molecules that repress gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels, defend hosts against invading viruses and defend genomes against selfish DNA elements. Small RNA populations are studied by high-throughput sequencing of the total small RNA fraction isolated from cells, however, the...

Creator:: Bao, Yanghuan
Abstract:: Vegetative propagation allows the amplification of selected genotypes for research, breeding, and commercial planting. However, efficient in vitro regeneration and genetic transformation remains a major obstacle to research and commercial application in many plant species. Our aims are to improve knowledge of gene regulatory circuits important to meristem organization, and...
