Tissue-specific gene expression of two class III Arabidopsis peroxidases under aluminum stress
DownloadSpring 2010
Class III peroxidases have been identified as secreted proteins involved in plant defense, auxin metabolism, cell wall modification, and regulation of reactive oxygen species. Transcriptome analysis of Arabidopsis has identified many class III peroxidases that respond to aluminum stress. The...

Transcriptional Regulation of Gene Expression at Early Stages of Arabidopsis Vein Development
DownloadFall 2016
How multicellular organisms activate gene expression in the correct cells at the correct time is a central question in biology. In animals, in which this question has been investigated extensively, broadly expressed transcription factors activate target gene expression in narrow domains by a...

Transcriptional regulation of lipid metabolism: A key determinant of pancreatic ß-cell function
Download2005
Fatehi-Hassanabad, Zahra, Chan, Catherine B.
Background Optimal pancreatic β-cell function is essential for the regulation of glucose homeostasis in both humans and animals and its impairment leads to the development of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a polygenic disease aggravated by environmental factors such as low physical activity or a...

Transcriptome and Proteome Based Survey to Identify Aluminum-Responsive Genes in Roots of Arabidopsis Thaliana
DownloadSpring 2010
Aluminum (Al)stress is a major limitation to crop productivity on acidic soils. To help understand the cellular mechanisms underlying the toxicity and resistance of plants to Al, this thesis involved a large-scale, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of roots of Arabidopsis thaliana and reports...

Type-1 Brassica napus Diacylglycerol Acyltransferases: Enzyme Characterization and Molecular Tools for Increasing Storage Lipid Production in Yeast
DownloadFall 2015
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the final step in the acyl-CoA- dependent biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG). The level of DGAT activity may have a substantial effect on the flow of carbon into TAG in many organisms. In plants, yeast, and animals, two families of...
