Yeo, Incheol (2020-03-26)In most organisms, threonine deaminase (TD) functions as a housekeeping enzyme to convert threonine to α-ketobutyrate and ammonia as the committed step in the biosynthesis of isoleucine (Ile). However, tomato plants have ...
-
Yao, Chi (2013-12-16)Axillary meristem production and activity contribute to the high plasticity of plant development which allows plants to respond to environmental changes. Branches arise from axillary buds that form in the leaf axil. These ...
-
Nelson, Anna (2012-10-19)The AGC group of protein kinases (named for protein kinases A, G, and C) is found in all eukaryotes studied so far, and its members coordinate essential cellular processes including translation, metabolism, hormone response, ...

Kim, Jin Hee (2012-02-14)This dissertation investigates the role of limonoids in inflammation to reduce risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. Radical scavenging activity and apoptotic effects of extracts from lemon seeds were investigated ...
-
Ciomperlik, Jessica J. (2010-01-16)As a defense against viral infection, plants are thought to use RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs) to target and cleave viral RNA. To counteract this, some viruses have evolved proteins to inhibit RISC-mediated activity, ...

Arabidopsis C-Terminal Domain Phosphatase-Like 1 Functions in miRNA Accumulation and DNA Methylation Jeong, In Sil; Aksoy, Emre; Fukudome, Akihito; Akhter, Salina; Hiraguri, Akihiro; Fukuhara, Toshiyuki; Bahk, Jeong Dong; Koiwa, Hisashi; Park, Sunghun (PloS One, 2013)
-
Aksoy, Emre (2014-04-24)The expression of genes that control iron (Fe) uptake and distribution (i.e., Fe utilization- related genes) is under a strict regulation. Fe deficiency strongly induces Fe utilization- related gene expression; however, ...
-
Feng, Yue (2011-10-21)In addition to AtCPL1-4, the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a large number of putative acid phosphatases. The predicted Arabidopsis SCP1-like small phosphatases (SSP) are highly homologous to the catalytic domain ...
-
Shin, Joonhee (2012-07-16)Fusarium verticillioides is a pathogen of maize causing ear rot and stalk rot. The fungus also produces fumonisins, a group of mycotoxins linked to disorders in animals and humans. A cluster of genes, designated FUM genes, ...
-
Park, Yong Soon (2012-07-16)Plant lipoxygenases (LOX) are non-heme iron containing dioxygenases that catalyze the hydroperoxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids resulting in the synthesis of a large number of functionally diverse oxylipins. Although ...
-
Sun, Di (2021-01-11)Posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) involves two kinds of small non-coding regulatory RNAs, miRNA and small interfering RNA (siRNA) that regulate gene expression in diverse biological processes in eukaryotic organisms. ...
-
Christensen, Shawn A. (2011-02-22)Lipoxygenase (LOX)-derived oxylipins are known to play critical roles in defense against herbivores and pathogens. The objective of this study was to determine the biochemical, molecular and physiological roles of a specific ...
-
Manohar, Murli (2012-07-16)Inorganic cations play decisive roles in many cellular and physiological processes and are essential components of plant nutrition. Therefore, the uptake of cations and their redistribution must be precisely controlled. ...

Functions of Arabidopsis C-terminal Domain Phosphatase-like 4 in Global Transcriptional Regulation Fukudome, Akihito (2017-05-02)Phosphoregulation of the carboxyl-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II largest subunit (pol II-CTD) couples transcription and co-transcriptional modification of nascent RNA. Although the molecular mechanisms have been ...
-
Casto, Anna Lynn (2019-03-19)Lignocellulosic biofuels are a promising source of renewable liquid fuel. Sorghum is a drought-resilient C4 grass that is grown for grain, forage, sugar, and biomass. It is a promising lignocellulosic biofuel feedstock ...
-
Reddivari, Lavanya (2009-05-15)The influence of genotype (selection), location, and year on antioxidant activity (AOA), total phenolics (TP), total carotenoids (TC), phenolic and carotenoid composition was studied using specialty (colored) potatoes ...
-
Chen, Wei (2019-08-14)Sterols are crucial membrane components in all eukaryotic cells. Cholesterol is the most common sterol in animals, including insects, and it is the required precursor of the insect steroid hormone that regulates molting ...
-
Nemchenko, Andriy (2009-06-02)Most plant oxylipins, a large class of diverse oxygenated polyunsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives, are produced through the lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway. Recent progress in dicots has highlighted the biological ...
