  • Synthesis and assembly of Fucus zygote cell walls with an emphasis on alignate and fucans

    Creator:
    Doubet, Scott
    Abstract:
    Fucus distichus L. Powell zygotes were used to investigate cell wall synthesis and development and to construct a model of cell wall structure. Alginate synthesis was investigated. Zygotes were cultured in seawater containing ¹⁴C-bicarbonate. Alginate represented 12%, 37%, and 1.7% of the label recovered from whole zygotes, wall, and cytoplasm,...

  • Analysis of putative elements of plant signal transduction chains

    Creator:
    Verhey, Steven D.
    Abstract:
    The thesis begins with an introduction to signal transduction and an analysis of current understanding of plant signal transduction. There are similarities between plants and animals, but also key differences, including lack of protein kinase C and of a cAMP signaling pathway in plants, and presence in plants of calcium...
