Fall 2018
In pea (Pisum sativum), normal pericarp growth requires the presence of seeds and removal or abortion of seeds lead to reduced pericarp growth and subsequent abscission. Previous studies in pea showed that auxin levels are higher in seeds than the surrounding ovary (pericarp) tissues, suggesting...

Biogenesis of Porin of the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane Involves an Import Pathway via Receptors and the General Import Pore of the TOM Complex
Download2001
Nargang, F. E., Pfanner, N., Neupert, W., Blachly-Dyson, E., Forte, M., Krimmer, T., Ryan, M. T., Kassenbrock, K., Rapaport, D., Douglas, M. G., Meisinger, C.
Abstract: Porin, also termed the voltage-dependent anion channel, is the most abundant protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane. The process of import and assembly of the protein is known to be dependent on the surface receptor Tom20, but the requirement for other mitochondrial proteins...

To form tissue networks, animal cells migrate and interact through proteins protruding from their plasma membranes. Plant cells can do neither, yet plants form vein networks. How plants do so is unclear, but the prevailing hypothesis proposes that GNOM — a regulator of vesicle formation in...

Metabolomics involves the high throughput characterization of small molecules or metabolites in cells, tissues and organisms. To interpret, store and exchange metabolomic data it is necessary to have comprehensive, electronically accessible databases that can be used to handle both the...

Development and Application of Isotope Labeling Method and Data Processing Program for Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Based Metabolome Profiling
DownloadSpring 2015
The objective of this thesis focuses on establishing a software tool (IsoMS) used in the quantification and qualification of metabolites in complex biological samples, developing robust methods to extract metabolites from different plant samples, and applying a differential 13C-/12C-isotope...

Differential expression of miRNAs in Brassica napus root following infection with Plasmodiophora brassicae
Download2014
Basu, Urmila, Verma, Shiv, Rahman, Muhammad H., Deyholos, Michael K., Kav, Nat N. V.
Canola (oilseed rape, Brassica napus L.) is susceptible to infection by the biotrophic protist Plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot. To understand the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) during the post-transcriptional regulation of disease initiation and progression, we have...

McNickle, G. G., Deyholos, M. K., Cahill Jr, J. F.
Background Ecologists recognize that plants capture nitrogen in many chemical forms that include amino acids. Access to multiple nitrogen types in plant communities has been argued to enhance plant performance, access to nitrogen and alter ecological interactions in ways that may promote...

Effect of modulation of auxin response on clubroot development caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae in Arabidopsis
DownloadSpring 2024
Clubroot disease caused by the obligate biotrophic protist Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a serious soilborne disease in Brassicaceae species including cruciferous crops such as canola and the genetic model species Arabidopsis. This disease, identified by the formation of sizable root galls, is...

Endomembrane system of aspen roots plays a key role in defense against a common fungal endophyte Cryptosporiopsis radicicola
Download2009
Tsuneda, I., Wang, W., Currah, R.S., Tsuneda, A.
The host-endophyte interaction between roots of aspen (Populus tremuloides) andCryptosporiopsis radicicola was examined primarily by transmission electron microscopy. Hyphae growing on the exterior of the inoculated roots had a thick, electron-dense, adhesive sheath. At hyphal contact and...
