Examination of the role host-selective toxins play in fungal-plant interactions

Creator:: Andrie, Rachael M.
Abstract:: Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot of wheat, produces multiple host-selective toxins (HSTs), including Ptr ToxA, encoded for by ToxA, Ptr ToxB, encoded for by ToxB, and Ptr ToxC. Variable distribution of these three HSTs among different isolates of P. tritici-repentis, both singularly and in all possible combinations, defines...

Characterization of the molecular foundations and biochemistry of alkane and ether oxidation in a filamentous fungus, a Graphium species.

Creator:: Skinner, Kristin M.
Abstract:: Graphium sp., a eukaryotic alkanotroph, is able to oxidize small-molecular weight gaseous n-alkanes, diethyl ether and the branched ether, methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE). However, information regarding the biochemistry of fungal-mediated alkane and ether metabolism is limited, and questions regarding the identity of alkane oxidation catalysts and the genetic underpinnings...

Plant responses induced by Ptr ToxA and Ptr ToxB, host-selective toxins produced by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis

Creator:: Mankaney, Aakash
Abstract:: Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) is the causal agent of the disease tan spot of wheat, which can be responsible for the destruction of up to 50% of a wheat crop harvest. Tan spot disease results in chlorotic and/or necrotic lesions triggered by the pathogen’s production of one or several host-selective toxins...

Mutagenesis and Crystallization of Ptr ToxB, a host-selective toxin of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis

Creator:: Miles-Rockenfield, Kara B.
Abstract:: Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) is the fungal causal agent of the disease tan spot in wheat and causes necrosis and chlorosis in infected leaves. These symptoms are caused by host-selective toxins (HSTs), molecules that serve as the sole determinants of pathogenicity. Ptr has three known HSTs, the proteinaceous Ptr ToxA and...

Pyrenophora tritici-repentis : investigation of factors that contribute to pathogenicity

Creator:: Holman, Thomas W.
Abstract:: Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) is the necrotrophic fungus responsible for tan spot of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Ptr causes disease on susceptible wheat cultivars through the production and secretion of host-selective toxins (HSTs). HSTs are compounds that are only known to be produced by fungi and considered to be primary determinants of...

Characterization of the response mediated by the plant disease susceptibility gene LOV1

Creator:: Gilbert, Brian M.
Abstract:: Victoria blight, caused by fungus Cochliobolus victoriae, is a disease originally described on oats and recapitulated on Arabidopsis. Victoria blight is used as a model plant disease that conforms to an inverse gene-for-gene interaction. C. victoriae virulence is dependent upon its production of victorin, a host-specific toxin that induces programmed...

Control of alkane monooxygenase activity and expression in Pseudomonas butanovora

Creator:: Doughty, David M.
Abstract:: The regulation of monooxygenase enzymes has been demonstrated in bacteria that grow on methane and long chain-length alkanes (>C10). Less is known about monooxygenase regulation in short chain alkane oxidizing bacteria that grow on intermediate chain-length alkanes C2-C10. This dissertation focuses on the regulation of butane monooxygenase (BMO) expression and...

Biodegradation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and its breakdown products by propane and iso-pentane grown Mycobacterium vaccae and Graphium sp. : cometabolism, inhibition, kinetics, and modeling

Creator:: Martínez-Prado, Maria Adriana
Abstract:: Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5 and Graphium sp. were studied to evaluate their ability to cometabolize methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and its metabolites after growth on two different alkanes, propane and iso-pentane. Both cultures were capable of cometabolizing MTBE and the metabolites, tert-butyl formate (TBF) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA). MTBE, TBF, and...

Genetic dissection of Victoria blight disease susceptibility in Arabidopsis thaliana

Creator:: Sweat, Teresa A.
Abstract:: The fungus Cochliobolus victoriae causes Victoria blight of oats and Arabidopsis and is pathogenic due to its production of a compound called victorin, which induces programmed cell death in sensitive plants. Victorin sensitivity in Arabidopsis is conferred by the dominant gene LOCUS ORCHESTRATING VICTORIN EFFECTS1 (LOV1), which encodes a coiled-coil-nucleotide...

Instructional coaching and disciplinary literacy : an examination of the engagement of secondary content-area teachers in professional development

Creator:: Bamford, Barbara JoAnne Dehm
Abstract:: The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the factors that contributed to the engagement of middle and high school teachers in professional learning with instructional coaches, relative to disciplinary literacy. The study addressed the following question: What factors appear to influence secondary content-area teachers' engagement with instructional coaches,...
