Identification and Functional Characterization of Genes that Regulate Biomass Production, Floral Development, and Leaf Senescence in Populus Species using Genetic Engineering and Bioinformatics Tools

Creator:

Lu, Haiwei

Abstract:

This dissertation is comprised of four studies on different elements of Populus biotechnology and genomic science: 1) growth improvement by recombinant DNA (rDNA) modification of gibberellin (GA) metabolism; 2) gene editing using zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs); 3) induction of floral sterility by RNA interference (RNAi) of AGAMOUS (AG) gene homologs; and...

Functional Characterization and Classification of Genes Essential to Flower Induction, Flower Development, and Seed Development in Populus and Eucalyptus

Creator:

Elorriaga, Estefania

Abstract:

This dissertation consists of four studies of Populus and Eucalyptus biotechnology and genomic science: 1) induction of floral sterility by tapetal expression of the ribonuclease Barnase in Populus; 2) CRISPR Cas9-mediated gene editing targeting LEAFY (LFY) and AGAMOUS (AG) homologs in Populus; 3) induction of floral sterility by CRISPR Cas9...
