Misra, Anjali (2012-02-14)BT2 is an Arabidopsis thaliana protein with N-terminal BTB, central TAZ and a C-terminal calmodulin binding domain and associates with Cullin3 to form an E3 ubiquitin ligase. We have shown previously that BT2 regulates ...

Mandadi, Kranthi Kiran (2011-10-21)We previously described BT2, a BTB/POZ domain containing protein, as an activator of telomerase in Arabidopsis thaliana. In the current study, I present evidence of its interesting roles in mediating multiple hormone, ...

Kulkarni, Resham Dattatraya (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The psbA gene family in Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 encodes two distinct forms of the D1 protein of photosystem II: psbAI encodes Form I whereas psbAII and psbAIII both encode Form II. Upon exposure of cells to high ...
-
Rapp, Jeffrey Carroll (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Plastid transcription activity and DNA copy number were quantified during chloroplast development in the first foliage leaf of dark-grown and illuminated barley seedlings. Plastids isolated from cells located in the basal ...
-
Pedro, Uribe Mejia (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The interactions between Medicago truncatula and Phytophthora medicaginis were examined using skl, a mutant blocked in ethylene perception, and a range of wild accessions of this plant species. P. medicaginis infection ...
-
Zhou, Xin (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Medicago truncatula (M. truncatula) has been proposed as a model legume for molecular and genetic studies of legumes. While many genetic resources have been developed for this model legume, genetic transformation of the ...
-
Hur, Jung-Im (2009-05-15)During embryogenesis, the architecture of the plant and the food reserves for seed germination are established. Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates seed development and dormancy. It controls genes involved in stress responses. ...

Harris, Karen Ruth (2009-05-15)Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is the fifth most economically important cereal grown worldwide and is a source of food, feed, fiber and fuel. Sorghum, a C4 grass and a close relative to sugarcane, is adapted to ...
-
Burnett, Ronald Joseph (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Camptotheca acuminata is the primary source of the mono-indole alkaloid camptothecin (CPT) and its derivative 10-hydroxy camptothecin, which are currently in clinical trials as anticancer drugs, and also have been shown ...
-
Record, Rae Denese (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Membrane trafficking in plant cells was investigated by examining soybean (Glycine max L.) cell suspension cultures. The convergence of the endocytic pathway and the lysosomal and secretory pathways was examined by incubating ...
-
Irigoyen Aranda, Sonia Cristina (2012-10-19)Phosphorous in its inorganic form, orthophosphate (Pi), is found in every compartment of the plant cell and serves as a substrate, product or effector for a wide range of metabolic processes. Several Pi transporters exist ...
-
Kwon, In Sook (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)The genetic variability of two allotetraploid cultivated cotton species, Gossypium barbadense and G. hirsutum was analyzed for restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). The analysis was made on G. barbadense cv. ...
-
Chow, Siew Yin (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Taxadiene synthase catalyzes the formation of taxadiene from GGPP, the universal building block of diterpenes. The cyclization of GGPP to taxadiene is generally thought to proceed through a series of monocyclic and bicyclic ...
-
Michaelson, Martin J. (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Intraspecific differences in DNA content are frequently due to altered copy number of families of repeated, nongenic sequences for which functional roles have not been determined. There have been several reports of variation ...
-
Wang, Shaohui (2009-05-15)Oroidin alkaloids, also known as pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids, have become a hot area of chemical and biological research due to their diverse and intriguing structural features and biological activities. Palau'amine (i), ...
