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...

Functional characterization of the L-type Amino acid Transporters (LATs) in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2012
The distribution of amino acids (AAs) in plants is a complex process that involves 67 amino acid transporters (AATs) in Arabidopsis, many of which have yet to be characterized. The L-type Amino acid Transporter (LAT) family, which in Arabidopsis contains five members, remained uncharacterized in...

Linkage mapping, phenotypic characterization, and introgression analysis of crosses with safflower (Carthamus tinctorius)
DownloadSpring 2011
An inter-specific linkage map of a backcross (BC1) population derived from a cross between C. tinctorius and C. oxyacanthus was developed using primarily microsatellite markers. A composite map, which aligned the inter-specific (C. tinctorius x C. oxyacanthus) map with an intra-specific linkage...

Relationships and introgression within Carthamus (Asteraceae), with an emphasis on safflower (Carthamus tinctorius).
DownloadFall 2010
Carthamus (Asteraceae) contains both crop species (C. tinctorius, safflower) and weedy species, increasing the need for a better understanding of the genus. Despite previous studies, many outstanding questions remain regarding the phylogenetic relationships of safflower, especially with regards...
