A Putative PAMP-Induced Peptide Family Member is Associated with Symptom Severity to the Necrotic Strain NTN of Potato Virus Y in Potato

Creator:: Combest, Max M.
Abstract:: Potato Virus Y (PVY) is an enduring problem for potato production worldwide. Potato varieties that resist the “ordinary” strain PVYO were developed by breeders, but in recent years, recombinant strains of PVY have been able to circumvent this strain-specific resistance and evade growers and seed certification officials by causing fewer...

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...

Molecular fingerprinting, rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequence, and karyotype analysis of Ustilago hordei and related smut fungi

Creator:: Abdennadher, Mourad
Abstract:: Inbreeding of the avirulent physiologic race 8 strains of Ustilago hordei was purported to have increased its pathogenicity in a stepwise manner that led to a highly pathogenic race, designated race 14. The analysis of electrophoretic karyotypes and restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles detected with a telomere-specific probe (TelomereRFLP) in...

Establishing Larval Zebrafish as an In Vivo Model Organism for Characterizing the Roles of Otoferlin, a Sensory Hair Cell Protein Essential for Hearing

Creator:: Chatterjee, Paroma
Abstract:: Auditory defects and disorders are prevalent at all ages and affect 8% of the population in developed nations including newborns and children. Congenital hearing loss is the most common birth defect and it is estimated that 1 in 1000 children are affected by deafness at birth or before the onset...

Understanding Host-Pathogen Interactions in the Sphaerulina musiva-Populus Pathosystem

Creator:: Dunnell, Kelsey Liann
Abstract:: Host-parasite interactions between the pathogen, Sphaerulina musiva, and its host, Populus spp., were examined in a series of studies. In the first study, variation in resistance of Populus nigra from 7 locations in Europe was differentiated based on the parameters cankers per cm and disease severity score. The analysis evaluated...

Chlamydiae Enhance Self-Antigen Presentation in a Mechanism that is Dependent on Biosynthesis of Lipooligosaccharide

Creator:: Cram, Erik D.
Abstract:: Chlamydia is a genus of obligate intracellular bacteria that undergo a unique, biphasic developmental cycle. The infectious and metabolically inert Elementary Bodies (EBs) begin the cycle of infection by attaching and invading a host cells. Once inside, the EBs differentiate into the metabolically active, dividing Reticulate Bodies (RBs) within their...

Effects of DNA mismatch repair inhibition in Arabidopsis thaliana

Creator:: Wilcox, Buck W. L.
Abstract:: Genomic instability underlies diseases of unregulated cell growth that result in cancers and developmental abnormalities in humans. Similar genome destabilizing mechanisms are used to create genetic variety in crops for use in breeding and trait development. Errors that occur during DNA replication may cause mutations if they are not corrected...

Generation of full-length cDNA clone and functional analysis of leader proteases of grapevine leafroll-associated virus-2

Creator:: Liu, Yu-Ping
Abstract:: Papain-like leader proteases are found in diverse families of human, animal, plant, and fungal positive-strand RNA viruses. In addition to autocatalytic processing, these proteases play a variety of roles in the virus life cycle. In particular, the leader protease (L-Pro) of a prototype member of the Closterovirus genus, Beet yellows...

Characterization of vaccinia virus A12L protein : its proteolysis and functional analyses in virus replication

Creator:: Yang, Su Jung
Abstract:: In order to produce infectious virus progeny, vaccinia virus (VV) undergoes morphogenic proteolysis to regulate the structural rearrangements of virus particles. Several of the major structural precursor proteins of VV are cleaved at a conserved Ala-Gly-X (where X is any amino acid) motif by the VV I7L core protein proteinase...

Gluten protein polymeric composition and allelic variation as related to bread-making quality in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum)

Creator:: Ammar, Karim
Abstract:: Attempts to develop dual-purpose durum wheat cultivars for both pasta and bread-making have been unsuccessful. To better understand this limitation, thirty durum genotypes, selected based on their diverse geographical origin, and five bread wheat cultivars were compared as to their flour mixing properties, dough physical characteristics and baking performance. The...
