  • Characterization of Neurospora crassa and Fusarium graminearum mutants defective in repeat-induced point mutation

    Creator:
    Pomraning, Kyle R.
    Abstract:
    Mutation of repetitive DNA by repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a process that occurs in many filamentous fungi of the Ascomycota during the sexual cycle. Concurrently, direct DNA repeats are often deleted by homologous recombination at high frequency during the sexual cycle. Thus, the processes of RIP and deletion compete...

  • Molecular and physiological aspects of maize embryo maturation

    Creator:
    White, Constance N.
    Abstract:
    Experiments were performed to assess regulatory factors governing maize embryo maturation and vivipary. Both visual and molecular markers of embryo development were used to examine the roles of the hormones abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GAs), as well as water stress in governing transit from early embryogeny to maturation-phase development....

  • Analysis of the maize TOUSLED-LIKE KINASE gene family

    Creator:
    Yoon, Elizabeth S.
    Abstract:
    Protein kinases are an abundant class of enzymes which play important roles in numerous signal transduction systems. Arabidopsis TOUSLED kinase is a serine/threonine kinase which is essential for cell-cell communication within the shoot meristem. TOUSLED is encoded by a single gene in Arabidopsis. Recessive mutants in this gene show mild...
