Rinkenberger, Nick (2013-02-04)RHD3, an integral membrane protein with active GTPase activity found in plants, has been recently highlighted as an ER remodeling protein. While the function of this protein is unknown, it is proposed that RHD3 acts in the ...

Maynard, Sara Nicole (2017-04-24)The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in Arabidopsis thaliana is the source of the calcium signal produced by high-fluence blue light sensed by the junction between the ER and chloroplast, the ER-chloroplast nexus. Photostimulation ...

Adeniji, Opeyemi 1989- (2011-05-04)To study the effect of hyperosmolarity on the dynamic morphology of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) form change, Nicotiana benthamiana seedlings with ER-labeled GFP-HDEL were put in a culture chamber and gradually infused ...

Pharmacological Identification of a Calcium Release Channel in the Endoplasmic Reticulum of Plants Connolly, Meghan E (2018-04-25)Whenever we contract our muscles, we do so because there is an ion channel in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that releases calcium from within the ER in response to an action potential. Plants do not have the genes for the ...

Elston, Katherine Marie (2015-11-11)The goal of this project is to analyze the effect that the components of the cytoskeleton have the on the movement, morphology, and function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and subsequent tip growth in Arabidopsis thaliana ...

Mehta, Kinjal Mukesh (2013-09-29)The endoplasmic reticulum operates in a larger reticular network via membrane fusion of ER tubules. Root Hair Defective 3 (RHD3) is a membrane-bound GTPase, similar to mammalian atlastin GTPases, which may be involved in ...
