Characterizing the Role of Pectin in Cell Wall Composition and Organ Initiation in Maize
Maynard, Daniel Jarrell (East Carolina University, 2022-12-07)Plants are constantly developing new organs throughout their life and these organs arise from stem cell pools called meristems. Organ primordia are generated on the flanks of meristems when stem cells differentiate into ... -
Genetic regulation of maize floral development - insights from the transcriptome and translatome
Yang, Hailong (East Carolina University, 2022-06-24)Flowers are produced by floral meristems, groups of stem cells that give rise to floral organs. In grasses, including the major cereal crops, flowers (florets) are contained in spikelets, which contain one to many florets, ... -
Investigating the Role of Conserved Cysteine Residues in Arabidopsis thaliana Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase 1
Pahl, Matthew (East Carolina University, 2021-07-28)Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are biomolecules found in all organisms comprised of three fatty acid chains esterified to a glycerol backbone. In humans, TAGs are important energy storage reserves whose misregulation are associated ... -
Investigation of conserved cysteines on 6 fatty acid desaturase function in Arabidopsis thaliana
Dave, Parth (East Carolina University, 2021-05-28)Plants are an incredibly diverse group of organisms with over 300,000 species inhabiting different environments worldwide. Recent advances in biotechnology have driven investigations into the biochemical properties of plant ... -
Investigation of NADPH-Dependent Thioredoxin Reductase-C (NTRC) In Chloroplast Lipid Metabolism
Donnelly, Shannon Li (East Carolina University, 2022-07-01)Redox reactions are ubiquitous within plant metabolism and critical for the sustainment of photosynthesis within thylakoid membranes. Specialized glycerolipids that make up these membranes in turn require redox reactions ... -
