Quantitative trait loci analysis to identify modifiers genes of the gene opaque2 in maize endosperm Gutierrez Rojas, Libardo Andres (2009-05-15)The protein quality of maize can be improved by replacing normal Opaque2 alleles with non-functional recessive alleles opaque2 (o2). The allele o2 produces a severe phenotype with soft endosperm enhancing its protein quality ...

Krishnareddy, Srirama R. (2012-07-16)Light is the fundamental source of energy and information throughout the plant life cycle. Light signals regulate plant architecture and branching, key processes that determine biomass production and grain yield. Low red ...

Thomas, Beth Elene Armstrong (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Phosphate is an essential but limited macronutrient for all plants. In response to limited levels of phosphate, plants have developed highly specialized developmental, biochemical, and molecular responses. To further expand ...

Suescún Torres, Ana Victoria (2014-07-29)Meiotic silencing refers to the mechanism of silencing genes or chromosomes without a homologous counterpart (unpaired) during meiotic prophase I. Meiotic silencing has been described in several eukaryotes, including humans. ...

Filippi, Marta Cristina (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)We identified a synthetic hexapeptide that blocks Magnaporthe grisea appressorium formation, in artificial hydrophobic surface. The results suggest that peptides interfere with surface recognition. M. grisea non pathogenic ...

Hammer, Ricky Lee (2011-08-08)Taxonomic boundaries and systematic relationships in the grass subspecific complex Dichanthelium acuminatum were investigated with both morphological and molecular methods. Circumscription of subspecific taxa comprising ...
-
Beytebiere, Joshua Robert (2019-10-25)The mammalian molecular circadian clock is composed of a transcriptional-translational feedback loop. The positive arm of this loop is composed of the transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 which activates the transcription of ...

Nelson, Andrew (2012-10-19)Telomeres form a nucleoprotein cap at the end of eukaryotic chromosomes. The telomere protein constituents repress the DNA damage response (DDR) and facilitate maintenance of terminal sequences by a specialized ribonucleoprotein ...
-
Watson, James M. (2009-05-15)Telomeres are the nucleoprotein structures that protect the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes from being recognized as DNA double-strand breaks. Telomeres are recognized by the ribonucleoprotein telomerase, a reverse transcriptase ...
-
Daugherty, Mckensie Nicole (2017-11-15)Karenia brevis is a toxic, marine phytoplankton that forms harmful algal blooms in the Gulf of Mexico. This toxicity is due to the production of ladder-frame polyketides known as brevetoxins, for which the production pathway ...
