Engineering nitrogen use efficiency in Oryza sativa by the developmental over-expression of barley alanine aminotransferase using a novel rice promoter
DownloadFall 2011
Nitrogen is the main limiting component to plant growth and development. With increasing cost of food production the development of nitrogen use efficient (NUE) crop plants has become of interest. In our group, the over-expression of barley alanine aminotransferase (HvAlaAT) cDNA by the btg26...

Metabolic Engineering of Arabidopsis for Production of Punicic Acid Using Different Promoters
DownloadFall 2016
Fatty acids with conjugated double bonds play a special role in determining both the nutritional and industrial uses of plant oils. Punicic acid (18:3Δ9cis,11trans,13cis), a conjugated fatty acid naturally enriched in the pomegranate (Punica granatum) seeds, has gained increasing attention from...

β-Galactosidases and Fasciclin-like Arabinogalactan Proteins in Flax (Linum usitatissimum) Phloem Fibre Development
DownloadFall 2013
The phloem fibres of flax (Linum usitatissimum) have specialized, cellulose-rich secondary walls of the gelatinous type (G-type), which give the fibres remarkable strength. G-type walls are also found in tension wood of many trees. β-galactosidases (BGAL) and fasciclin-like arabinogalactan (FLA)...
