Molecular cloning and characterization of the diageotropica gene in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)

Creator:: Oh, KwangChul
Abstract:: The auxin-resistant diageotropica (dgt) mutant of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) has a pleiotropic phenotype including a lack of lateral roots and reduced gravitropic response, apical dominance, vascular development, and fruit growth. The dgt mutation reduces the auxin sensitivity of only a subset of auxin responses while levels, metabolism, and transport...

A microscopic and phenological study of pollen development and bloom in selected cultivars of hazelnut (Corylus avellana)

Creator:: Tiyayon, Chantalak
Abstract:: Pollen development is an important process in male flower development, the timing of which may be correlated with time of pollen shed in hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). Early to very late blooming cultivars were identified and the relationship of microsporogenesis and microgametogenesis, and time of pollen shed were studied in...

Antisense down-regulation of 4CL expression alters lignification, tree growth and saccharification potential of field-grown poplar

Creator:: Voelker, Steven L., Lachenbruch, Barbara, Meinzer, Frederick C., Jourdes, Michael, Ki, Chanyoung, Patten, Ann M., Davin, Laurence B., Lewis, Norman G., Tuskan, Gerald A., Gunter, Lee, Decker, Stephen R., Selig, Michael J., Sykes, Robert, Himmel, Michael E., Kitin, Peter, Shevchenko, Olga, and Strauss, Steven H.
Abstract:: Transgenic down-regulation of the Pt4CL1 gene family encoding 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (4CL) has been reported as a means for reducing lignin content in cell walls and increasing overall growth rates, thereby improving feedstock quality for paper and bioethanol production. Using hybrid poplar (Populus tremula 3 Populus alba), we applied this...

Exposure of ionic hyper-regulated artemia to chlorine – 36 in a marine system

Creator:: Shaw, Christopher Glenn
Abstract:: Chlorine – 36 (36Cl) is produced naturally, through neutron activation of stable chlorine during nuclear weapons detonation, or from neutron capture on residual chlorine in graphite piles. It has a half-life of 301,000 years and decays by the means of beta decay with an average energy of 236.33 keV. Due...

Seconds to hour scale photosynthetic responses in marine microalgae

Creator:: Laney, Samuel R.
Abstract:: Our view of phytoplankton has historically revolved around their inability to control their location in space. The term phytoplankton itself underscores this particular difference between phytoplankton and their sessile terrestrial counterparts. Yet there are other differences between land plants and the phytoplankton that are perhaps equally important, beyond this sessile-planktonic...

Cytokinin O-glycosyltransferases : biochemical characteristics in vitro and developmental regulation in transgenic plants

Creator:: Veach, Yeonjin Kim
Abstract:: Cytokinins are plant hormones regulating cell division and differentiation. Most developmental events from germination, vegetative morphogenesis to seed and fruit set are influenced by cytokinins. t,ns-Zeatin is the major natural occurring cytokinin. Its isomer, cis-zeatin, and its derivatives are usually present in low quantities and have traditionally been considered as...

Leaf-level physiology in four subalpine plants in tephra-impacted forests during drought

Creator:: Watt, Abby J., Fischer, Dylan G., Antos, Joseph A., and Zobel, Donald B.
Abstract:: Ecological impacts of climate change in the Pacific Northwest may hinge on acclimation to drier summers, highlighting the importance of plant physiological studies in forests. Evaluating dominant forest plant species under old-growth and managed forest conditions is similarly important as timber harvest might change microclimates and alter drought effects on...

Photoluminescence properties investigation of germanium inserted biosilica generated by bioreactor culture of marine diatom Nitzschia frustulum

Creator:: Qin, Tian
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to investigate the optoelectronic properties of the Ge doped biosilica, mainly focused on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of diatom frustules of N. frustulum that contain metabolically inserted germanium oxide produced by a two-stage photobioreactor cultivation process. In order to explain the observed PL intensity...

The effects of Phytophthora ramorum stem inoculation on aspects of tanoak physiology and xylem function in saplings and seedlings

Creator:: Stamm, Elizabeth A.
Abstract:: Phytophthora ramorum, an oomycete plant pathogen, is the causal agent of sudden oak death, a serious disease of Fagaceous trees in California and Oregon over the last decade. Tanoak (Notholithocarpus densiflorus) is one of the most susceptible host species, but the cause of host mortality is poorly understood. Previous research...

Efficient disruption and replacement of an effector gene in the oomycete Phytophthora sojae using CRISPR/Cas9

Creator:: Fang, Yufeng and Tyler, Brett M.
Abstract:: Phytophthora sojae is an oomycete pathogen of soybean. As a result of its economic importance, P. sojae has become a model for the study of oomycete genetics, physiology and pathology. The lack of efficient techniques for targeted mutagenesis and gene replacement have long hampered genetic studies of pathogenicity in Phytophthora species....

Creator:: Park, Sunhwa
Abstract:: Nitrosomonas europaea (ATCC19718) participates in the biological removal of nitrogen from wastewater by oxidizing ammonia to nitrite, the first step in nitrification. This bacterium is sensitive to heavy metals (Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Hg²⁺) and cyanide, compounds commonly encountered in wastewater treatment plants. Therefore, we characterized physiological and transcriptional responses...

Patterns of stem respiration within tree, with age, and among species in Pacific Northwest trees

Creator:: Pruyn, Michele L.
Abstract:: An increment core-based, laboratory method was used to measure tissue-level respiration under controlled temperature (termed respiratory potential) of eleven tree species from three age classes. Respiratory potential was calculated on a basis of core dry-mass, volume, carbon, or nitrogen content and live bole volume. Methods tests suggested that core carbon...

Impacts of microbial chemical interactions on marine plankton physiology

Creator:: Moore, Eric R.
Abstract:: The bioavailability of chemical compounds in the marine environment fundamentally influences the growth and physiology of microorganisms. Organic and inorganic chemicals that are produced by some marine plankton can be consumed by other plankton for energy production, growth, or to initiate essential physiological processes.
