Kutil, Brandi Lynn (2009-05-15)LOL is a novel secondary metabolite gene cluster associated with the production of loline alkaloids (saturated 1-aminopyrrolizidine alkaloids with an oxygen bridge) exclusively in closely related grass-endophyte species ...
-
Yang, Qingwu (2009-05-15)Biological patterns are widely used for identifying biologically interesting regions within macromolecules, classifying biological objects, predicting functions and studying evolution. Good pattern finding algorithms will ...

Rerngsamran, Panan (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The fluffy gene of Neurospora crassa is required for asexual sporulation. It encodes an 88 kDa polypeptide containing a typical fungal Zn2Cys6 DNA binding motif. To identify the target genes on which FL may act, I sought ...
-
Chen, You (2009-05-15)Unicellular freshwater cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 is the model organism for studying the circadian clock in cyanobacteria. Despite tremendous work over the last decade in identification of clock-related ...

Crutcher, Frankie (2012-02-14)The biocontrol fungus Trichoderma virens is an avirulent symbiont with the ability to control plant disease by the production of antibiotic compounds, induction of plant resistance to pathogens, and mycoparasitism of other ...
-
Cho, Jae-Min (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The largest group of plant disease resistance (R) genes that share similar structures contains a predicted nucleotide-binding site (NBS) domain. NBS domains of this class of R genes show highly conserved amino acid motifs, ...
-
Li, Dan (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)MAP kinases and transcription factors homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fus3p/Kss1p and Ste12p have been identified in several plant pathogenic fungi and found to be required for pathogenicity and sexual reproduction. ...
