Functional analysis of conserved amino acid residues in the C-terminus of ACC synthase
Lueth, Abraham; Ngwenyama, Njabulo; Liu, Yidong; Zhang, Shuqun, 1970- (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)Ethylene is an important plant hormone that regulates growth, development, and stress response. Synthesis of Ethylene from its immediate precursor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), is catalyzed by ACC oxidase. ... -
Functional analysis of MAP kinases in Arabidopsis thaliana: Fully rescuing the mpk3/mpk6 mutant phenotype [abstract]
Ngwenyama, Njabulo (University of Missouri - Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are major pathways involved in the transduction of extracellular signals into intracellular responses. A MAPK cascade consists of three kinases. MAPKK kinase (MAPKKK or MEKK) ... -
Functional analysis of MAP kinases in Arabidopsis thaliana: Fully rescuing the mpk3/mpk6 mutant phenotypes
Ngwenyama, Njabulo; Wang, Huachun; Liu, Yidong; Walker, John C.; Zhang, Shuqun, 1970- (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) cascades are three-stage modules involved in signal transduction. MAPKs function at the lower tier of these cascades and they phosphorylate transcription factors and other protein ... -
Functional analysis of MPK3 and MPK6, two mitogen-activated protine kinases in Arabidopsis thaliana
Ngwenyama, Njabulo; Wang, Huachun; Liu, Yidong; Zhang, Shuqun, 1970- (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are major pathways involved in the transduction of extracellular signals into intracellular responses. A MAPK cascade consists of three kinases; MAPK, MAPK kinase (MAPKK or ... -
Investigating the developmental defects of rescued mpk3-/ mpk6- Arabidopsis plants [abstract]
Ngwenyama, Njabulo; Wang, Huachun; Liu, Yidong; Zhang, Shuqun, 1970- (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)Mitogen Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) are signaling molecules involved in transducing extracellular signals into intracellular responses. Twenty MAPK genes have been identified in the fully sequenced Arabidopsis genome. ...
