Boron Stress Responsive MicroRNAs and Their Targets in Barley
Ozhuner, Esma; Eldem, Vahap; Ipek, Arif; Okay, Sezer; Sakcali, Serdal; Zhang, Baohong; Boke, Hatice; Unver, Turgay (2013)Boron stress is an environmental factor affecting plant development and production. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be involved in several plant processes such as growth regulation and stress responses. In ... -
Comprehensive analysis of TCP transcription factors and their expression during cotton () fiber early development
Ma, Jun; Liu, Fang; Wang, Qinglian; Wang, Kunbo; Jones, Don C.; Zhang, Baohong (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 ... -
A Comprehensive Approach to Identify Reliable Reference Gene Candidates to Investigate the Link between Alcoholism and Endocrinology in Sprague-Dawley Rats
Taki, Faten A.; Abdel-Rahman, Abdel A.; Zhang, Baohong (2014)Gender and hormonal differences are often correlated with alcohol dependence and related complications like addiction and breast cancer. Estrogen (E2) is an important sex hormone because it serves as a key protein involved ... -

A cotton miRNA is involved in regulation of plant response to salt stress
Gao, Shuai; Yang, Lu; Zeng, Hou Qing; Zhou, Zhao Sheng; Yang, Zhi Min; Li, Hua; Sun, Di; Xie, Fuliang; Zhang, Baohong (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 ... -
Deep sequencing reveals important roles of microRNAs in response to drought and salinity stress in cotton
Xie, Fuliang; Wang, Qinglian; Sun, Runrun; Zhang, Baohong (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 ... -
Development of Computational Tools and Resources for Cotton microRNA Analysis
Xie, Fuliang (East Carolina University, 2014)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of small regulatory RNAs which regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional levels. miRNAs target genes for mRNA cleavage or translation inhibition based on the complementary ... -

Early Nicotine Exposure Altered Larval Neuromuscular Function and Adult Germline Apoptosis via MiRNA-Dependent Mechanisms
Alston, Robyn D (East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)MicroRNAs fine tune the expression of target genes needed for homeostasis. Our pilot study showed that nicotine altered 17% miRNAs in C. elegans larvae. Here, we investigated the role of microRNAs in mediating nicotine-induced ... -
Effect of green tea Polyphenon 60 on microRNA expression in MCF-7 breast cancer cells
Fix, Lindsey Nicole (East Carolina University, 2010)In Western countries, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and it is the second leading cause of female cancer death in America. The biochemical basis of the observed anti-oncogenic properties of green tea has ... -
Effects of 5-fluorouracil Drug Treatment on the Expression Profile of MicroRNAs in MCF7 Breast Cancer Cells
Shah, Maitri Yogen (East Carolina University, 2010)Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths in women worldwide. 5-flourouracil (5-FU) is a classic chemotherapeutic drug that has been widely used in the treatment of breast cancer patients. In this study, using ... -
Effects of Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticles on the Growth, Development, and microRNA Expression of Tobacco ()
Burklew, Caitlin E.; Ashlock, Jordan; Winfrey, William B.; Zhang, Baohong (2012)Nanoparticles are a class of newly emerging environmental pollutions. To date, few experiments have been conducted to investigate the effect nanoparticles may have on plant growth and development. It is important to study ... -
