Characterization of Auxin Receptors and Auxin-Ethylene Interaction During Pea Fruit Development
DownloadSpring 2017
Normal development of a pea (Pisum sativum L.) fruit requires the presence of seeds within the fruit. Removal of seeds from young pea fruits results in slowing of pericarp (fruit) growth and subsequent abscission. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid (4-Cl-IAA) are two...

The overall goal of this research was to characterize components of legume seeds, and determine if specific seed components have potential functional properties for practical end-uses. The polymeric flavonoids proanthocyanidins (PA), also known as condensed tannins, accumulate in the seed coats...

The developmental programs of maturing seed and fruit in pea (Pisum sativum L.) are tightly controlled by the interactions of several phytohormones, including gibberellins (GAs), auxins, and abscisic acid (ABA). To more fully understand these hormone networks and their roles in controlling...
