Post symbiotic analysis of the Bradyrhizobium japonicum-soybean symbiosis : proteomics and mutagenesis of protocatechuate 3, 4-dioxygenase paralogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
in agricultural production. In a microaerobic environment huge amounts of energy are required to fuel this process and a steady supply of carbon substrates is needed from the symbiotic legume partner to fuel nitrogenase. The extension of the duration of nitrogen...
Dissecting water stress-induced molecular responses in the maize primary root
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
is an increasingly significant challenge for global agriculture and food security. Despite that numerous studies have been conducted over several decades, a clear strategy to improve the productivity of crop plants like maize under low water availability has not been...
Regulation of ethylene biosynthesis by mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades in Arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
to environmental stimuli. Ethylene induces the ripening of climacteric fruits, which is characterized by a steep increase in ethylene synthesis at the mature stage. In agriculture, removal of ethylene in hypobaric storage compartments prevents fruits from spoilage...
The copper ATPases : intracellular trafficking and nervous system function
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Copper is essential for life, as it participates as a cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions including energy generation, antioxidant defense, ...
Role of Proa(2)I collagen chains and collagen crosslinking in thoracic aortic biochemical integrity during aging using the OIM mouse model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important constituent for a variety of tissues including vascular tissue in which the ECM maintains aortic wall integrity. An important component of vascular tissue ECM is type I collagen. ...
