  • Origins and evolution of plant microRNA genes

    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...

  • Genomic Resource Development for European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

    Creator:
    Rowley, Erik R.
    Abstract:
    European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is an important crop Oregon's Willamette Valley, producing 99% of the hazelnuts grown in North America and brings over US $60 million dollars to the region annually. Hazelnuts are rich in fiber and vitamins, as well in demand by consumers due to their popularity as...

  • Genome-enabled discovery and characterization of type III effector-encoding genes of plant symbiotic bacteria

    Creator:
    Kimbrel, Jeffrey A.
    Abstract:
    Symbiosis is the close and protracted interaction between organisms. The molecular interactions that occur during symbiosis are complex with multiple barriers that must be overcome. Many Gram-negative, host-associated bacteria use a type III secretion system to mediate associations with their eukaryotic hosts. This secretion system is a specialized apparatus for...
