Control of maize development by microRNA and auxin regulated pathways
(East Carolina University, 2018-12-10)Plant architecture and inflorescence architecture, in particular, are major determinates of yield. Plant architecture is dependent upon the activity of meristems. Meristems are vital to plant development because they not ... -
Convergent evolution of bright coloration and toxicity in frogs
(East Carolina University, 2003-10-28) -
A cotton miRNA is involved in regulation of plant response to salt stress
(2016-01)The present study functionally identified a new microRNA (microRNA ovual line 5, miRNVL5) with its target gene GhCHR from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). The sequence of miRNVL5 precursor is 104 nt long, with a well developed ... -
CRISPR/CAS9 SYSTEMS FOR PLANT GENOME EDITING
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)The increasing burden of the world population on agriculture requires the development of more robust crops. Dissecting the basic biology that underlies plant susceptibility to pathogens and drives crop loss will inform ... -
A CRISPR/Cas9 Toolbox for Multiplexed Plant Genome Editing and Transcriptional Regulation
(2015)The relative ease, speed and biological scope of CRISPR/Cas9-based reagents for genomic manipulations are revolutionizing virtually all areas of molecular biosciences, including functional genomics, genetics, applied ... -
Cryptic Seed Heteromorphism in Packera tomentosa (Asteraceae) : Differences in Seed Mass Characteristics and Germination
(East Carolina University, 2012)Germination requirements of seeds can dictate when and where plant offspring establish. Microsites available for germination vary spatially and temporally in factors such as temperature and moisture; thus, the production ... -
Deep sequencing identifies novel and conserved microRNAs in peanuts (L.)
(2010)Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new class of small, endogenous RNAs that play a regulatory role in the cell by negatively affecting gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. miRNAs have been shown to control ... -
Deep sequencing reveals important roles of microRNAs in response to drought and salinity stress in cotton
(2015-02)Drought and salinity are two major environmental factors adversely affecting plant growth and productivity. However, the regulatory mechanism is unknown. In this study, the potential roles of small regulatory microRNAs ... -
Deep Sequencing Reveals Transcriptome Re-Programming of Cells to the Elicitation with Methyl Jasmonate
(2013)Background Plant cell culture represents an alternative source for producing high-value secondary metabolites including paclitaxel (Taxol®), which is mainly produced in Taxus and has been widely used in cancer chemotherapy. ...
