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...

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...

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...

Identification and expression analysis of WRKY transcription factor genes in canola (Brassica napus L.) in response to fungal pathogens and hormone treatments
Download2009
Kav, N.N., Rahman, M.H., Yang, B., Deyholos, M.K., Jiang, Y.
Background: Members of plant WRKY transcription factor families are widely implicated in defense responses and various other physiological processes. For canola (Brassica napus L.), no WRKY genes have been described in detail. Because of the economic importance of this crop, and its evolutionary...

Indole-3-Acetic Acid is produced by Emiliania Huxleyi Coccolith-bearing cells and triggers a physiological response in bald cells
Download2016
Bramucci, Anna R., Labeeuw, Leen, Khey, Joleen, Case, Rebecca J., de la Mata, A. Paulina, Harynuk, James, Atwal, Harjot
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is an auxin produced by terrestrial plants which influences development through a variety of cellular mechanisms, such as altering cell orientation, organ development, fertility, and cell elongation. IAA is also produced by bacterial pathogens and symbionts of plants...

The plant vascular system transports water and nutrients, but also regulatory molecules that function in short- and long-distance mechanisms to pattern surrounding tissues. As such, the development of the vascular system is tied to the overall patterning and development of the plant body. The...

The ecology of boreal forest floor microbial communities in relation to environmental factors
DownloadFall 2012
Soil microbial communities in boreal forests are structured by complex interactions among many factors operating simultaneously on large and small spatial scales. Of particular note in the boreal mixedwood, the microbial communities under trembling aspen and white spruce forest floors are...
