Engineering Enhanced Performance in Plant Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase and Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase
DownloadSpring 2018
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the major storage lipid in higher plants and has great nutritional and industrial value. Plant storage lipid biosynthesis involves different subcellular compartments and a complex network of enzymes and proteins. Among them, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound diacylglycerol...

Functional Characterization of Plant Patatin-like Phospholipase A III in Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana Producing 18 Carbon Hydroxy Fatty Acids
DownloadFall 2016
Hydroxy fatty acid (HFA)-enriched oils are valuable in many oleo-chemical industries. The major natural source of HFA, however, is castor (Ricinus communis) seed, which is poisonous to human beings and animals. Although over-expressing a castor OLEATE 12-HYDROXYLASE (RcFAH12) in Arabiodpsis...

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...

The plant vascular system is a network of vascular strands that transport nutrients and signals. Some of these signals control the development of non-vascular tissues surrounding vascular strands; some others coordinate the development of new branches, leaves, and flowers with that of new roots....

Fatty acid composition of developing sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) berry and the transcriptome of the mature seed
Download2012
Snyder, Crystal L., Schroeder, William R., Wishart, David, Cram, Dustin, Fatima, Tahira, Datla, Raju, Weselake, Randall J., Krisha, Priti
Background Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is a hardy, fruit-producing plant known historically for its medicinal and nutraceutical properties. The most recognized product of sea buckthorn is its fruit oil, composed of seed oil that is rich in essential fatty acids, linoleic (18∶2ω-6) and...

LL-diaminopimelate aminotransferase: the mechanism of substrate recognition and specificity
DownloadSpring 2011
Amino acid biosynthesis is an essential process in living organisms. Certain amino acids can be synthesized by some organisms but not by others. L-Lysine is one of the essential amino acids that bacteria can synthesize but humans cannot. This is somewhat inconvenient for humans as much of their...

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...
