Characterization of MiR319-Regulated TCPs in Maize Development
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Maize produces two inflorescences, the tassel and the ear, that are essential for reproduction. Both inflorescences arise from similar inflorescence primordia and are patterned largely by the same developmental regulators. ... -
Characterizing the Expression Pattern of miR167-Regulated ZmArf3 and ZmArf30 in Maize Inflorescences
(East Carolina University, 2014)Plant growth and development depends on the activity of meristems, pools of stem cells that generate leaves and other organs. Maize (corn) produces two inflorescences, the tassel and ear, which are patterned by a series ... -
Comprehensive analysis of TCP transcription factors and their expression during cotton () fiber early development
(2016-02)TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors implicated to perform a variety of physiological functions during plant growth and development. In the current study, we performed for the first time the comprehensive ... -
INSIGHTS INTO THE HABITAT AND BREEDING BIOLOGY OF THE FEDERALLY ENDANGERED HERBACEOUS PLANT, THALICTRUM COOLEYI, AHLES
(East Carolina University, 2015)Thalictrum cooleyi Ahles (Cooley's meadowrue, Ranunculaceae) is a dioecious species, endemic to fire-dependent, wet pine savannas of the southeastern US. T. cooleyi was listed as federally endangered in 1989; knowledge ... -
Widespread impact of horizontal gene transfer on plant colonization of land
(2012-10)In complex multicellular eukaryotes such as animals and plants, horizontal gene transfer is commonly considered rare with very limited evolutionary significance. Here we show that horizontal gene transfer is a dynamic ...
