Soules, Valerie Ann (2011-02-22)The wild origin, early breeding history, and diversity of the China Rose group, including R. chinensis and its varieties, cultivars, and hybrids, are largely unknown. The aims of this study were to investigate the genetic ...
-
Young, Carla Jo Logan (2013-08-09)Cotton has been a world-wide economic staple in textiles and oil production. There has been a concerted effort for cotton improvement to increase yield and quality to compete with non-natural man-made fibers. Unfortunately, ...

Abdurakhmonov, Ibrokhim Y.; Buriev, Zabardast T.; Abdukarimov, Abdusattor; Saha, Sukumar; Jenkins, Johnie N.; Pepper, Alan E. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2017-05-30)Improvement of fiber quality of Upland cultivars (Gossypium hirsutum), while maintaining early maturity and productivity, is a fundamental problem in conventional cotton breeding. Phytochromes play a fundamental role in ...

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. ...

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, ...
-
Bangira, Courage (2012-02-14)Although soils developed from ultramafic parent materials have significance to agriculture, ecology and health, their bio-geochemistry is poorly understood. The mineralogical and bio-geochemistry of soils formed from the ...
-
Burrell, Anna Mildred (2011-10-21)In the interest of understanding the genetic basis of adaption to environment, we developed F2 lines from an F1 interspecific cross between the rare serpentine endemic, Caulanthus amplexicaulis var. barbarae and the ...
-
Honoré, Heather Helaine (2009-05-15)One psychosocial variable, human mate selection, has been studied extensively within the field of evolutionary psychology. A question of interest is how sexual/reproductive decision-making (i.e., dating, marrying, and ...

Brady, Jeffrey Alan (2009-05-15)The Ma5 and Ma6 maturity loci in sorghum contain genes interacting epistatically to block flowering until an appropriate daylength is met. Because sorghum is a crop of tropical origin, its critical daylength is close to ...
-
Terry, Martin Kilman (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Astrophytum asterias (star cactus) and Lophophora williamsii (peyote) are sympatric species in the Tamaulipecan thornscrub of South Texas and adjacent Mexico. Peyote has been excavated from two archaeological sites: Shumla ...
-
Song, Xiangyu (2011-08-08)Telomeres are the physical ends of linear chromosomes in eukaryotes. Telomeres not only protect chromosome ends from being recognized as double-strand breaks but also maintain the chromosome terminal sequences. These ...

Moon, Jaewoong (2009-05-15)To study the interaction between plants and insects I performed the experiments to find out the counter-defense mechanism of insects when insects were attacked by the defense protein of plants. Jasmonate (JA) is one of the ...
-
Ng, Wang Kit (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The phaseolin (phas) promoter drives the copious production of transcripts encoding the protein phaseolin during seed embryogenesis but is silent in vegetative tissues when a nucleosome is positioned over its three phased ...
