The bacterial type III-secreted protein AvrRps4 is a bipartite effector
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Like humans, plants have an immune system to protect themselves against invading pathogens. Unlike humans, however, the plant immune system is inborn and genetically predetermined by resistance genes. Pathogenic bacteria ... -
The balance between plant immunity and development: interactions of SRFR1 and TCP transcription factors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Plants have developed a highly effective immune system for resisting microbial pathogens. One layer of the plant innate immune system is effector-triggered ... -
Characterization of two grapevine stilbene synthase genes from Vitis vinifera 'Cabernet Sauvignon' and Vitis aestivalis 'Norton' /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] -
Elucidating the role of jasmonate metabolites in jasmonic acid signaling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)The plant hormone jasmonic acid controls immune responses against insect herbivory and regulates plant development. Jasmonic acid is synthesized upon wounding and herbivory and is converted to many derivatives collectively ... -
An exploration of mechanisms for Arabidopsis TCP transcription factor activity at an interface of development and immunity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] "The work presented in this dissertation aimed to characterize new functions and regulatory targets for TCP8, potentially in both defense and development ... -
Exploring broader roles of the plant immune regulator SRFR1 in plant development and defense
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Tomato plants are attacked by different pathogens, such as the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato that causes tomato speck disease, and herbivores ... -
Functional characterization of the Arabidopsis disease resistance gene RPS4
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Arabidopsis disease resistance gene RPS4 activates defense responses to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato strain DC3000 ... -
Genetic and physical interactions of Arabidopsis TOPLESS related 2 with regulators of plant innate immunity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Plants are constantly subjected to attack from pathogens. In order to defend themselves, plants have evolved a robust immune system. However, activation ... -
Innate immunity in Arabidopsis : molecular mechanisms of HOPA1 and AVRRS4 - specific disease resistance signaling pathways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Plants have evolved several layers of predetermined defenses, collectively called the innate immune system. Because of its effectiveness effector-triggered immunity (ETI) is a highly valuable agronomic trait. However, ETI ... -
Positional cloning and functional analysis of REN1 in 'Kishmish vatkana' /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Grapevine powdery mildew is an economically important fungal disease affecting grape cultivation throughout the world. Although the causal agent of ... -
The role of Arabidopsis SRFR1 in defense against the beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii and beet army worm Spodoptera exigua
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Plants are constantly exposed to a variety of pathogenic microbes and pests. Thus, plants have developed diverse mechanisms to fine-tune defense responses ...
