Investigating Protein-lipid-membrane Interactions in Plant Cells using Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation

Creator:: Tao, Kai
Abstract:: The overall focus of this thesis is on the distribution of specific lipids and membrane proteins of the external and internal membranes of plant cells, in the context of the roles that those lipids and proteins may play in microbe-plant interactions. The work includes the development of several new tools,...

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...

Developmental differences in Vitis vinifera berries and the impact of GLRaV3 on the transcriptome during ripening

Creator:: Vondras, Amanda M.
Abstract:: In the study of any developmental process, whether in plants, animals, or other models, it is prudent to consider the developmental position of the subjects being measured. This is generally not taken into consideration in grapevine studies despite a growing body of literature documenting that fruits within clusters develop and...

Transcriptomic analysis using high-throughput sequencing and DNA microarrays

Creator:: Fox, Samuel E.
Abstract:: Transcriptomics and gene expression profiling enables the elucidation of the genetic response of an organism to various environmental cues. Transcriptomics enables the deciphering of differences between two closely related organisms to the same environment and in contrast, enables the elucidation of genetic responses of the same organism to different environmental...

Homeodomain Transcription Factor Pitx2 is Required for Muscle Maintenance and Energy Homeostasis

Creator:: Lattier, Vera C.
Abstract:: Skeletal muscle, the largest organ in the body in mass, is composed by 600 specialized muscles in humans with unique biochemical, physiological and metabolic identities. Skeletal muscles control body movement, locomotion, and nutrient balance. Muscle formation requires precisely orchestrated environmental signals and regulatory gene networks in time and space. Gene...

Interactions of auxin with ethylene and gravity in regulating growth and development in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, Mill.)

Creator:: Madlung, Andreas
Abstract:: Plant growth, development, and environmental responsiveness are dependent on hormone-induced gene expression. This dissertation reports multiple interactions between the plant hormones auxin and ethylene and investigates their contribution to the gravitropic response, elongation growth, adventitious root formation, callus and tracheary element initiation and growth, and flower development. Four mutants of...

Transactivational activity of the tumor suppressor protein p53 is dependent on thioredoxin reductase activity in mammalian cells

Creator:: Merwin, Jason R.
Abstract:: Reporter gene transactivation by human p53 is inhibited in budding yeast lacking the TRR1 gene encoding thioredoxin reductase. Thioredoxin reductase specifically catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of thioredoxin. Thioredoxin provides a source of electrons for disulfide reduction in various cellular processes. Reduction of disulfides within the cell can be accomplished by...

Comparative Transcriptomics in Stress-Induced Rice

Creator:: Al-Bader, Noor M.
Abstract:: Rice is an important crop that feeds almost half the world population. As climate change models predict floods, drought and extreme temperatures in rice production areas, the need to better understand the genetic basis of adaptation and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses is vital to sustain our food supply....

A role for maize ROP2 GTPase in the male gametophyte

Creator:: Carroll, Kirstin Arthur
Abstract:: ROP GTPases are crucial regulators of pollen tube growth. The Rop GTPase family in maize consists of nine known rop genes, ropl-rop9. A subset of these genes (rop2, rop8, and rop9) are expressed in pollen. The rop2 and rop9 genes are a highly conserved duplicate gene pair of ancient origin....

Regulation by male-specific fruitless of neural circuitry used during courtship and copulation behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Latham, Kristin Lynn
Abstract:: Courtship and copulation behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster males are regulated by sex-specific products from the gene fruitless (fru). Male-specific FRU proteins (FRU[superscript M]) are putative transcription factors of the BTB-ZnF family that likely act by controlling development and maintenance of the neural circuitry used during male sexual behavior. However, which...
