The underlying genetic control of maize root system architecture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
by plant breeders and basic researchers alike. However, the root system has long remained inconspicuous, despite its foundational role in key plant and environmental processes. Abiotic stresses including lack of water and nutrients negatively impact crop...
Investigation of genes involved in somatic embryogenesis and plant-Agrobacterium interactions through transcriptional profiling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Plant genetic engineering relies on the ability to transmit and express cloned DNA sequences in plant cells (transformation) as well as the capacity for the cells carrying this DNA to undergo division and differentiation ...
The role of genetic and phenotypic diversity in maize and its effects on aflatoxin accumulation by the fungus Aspergillus flavus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Accumulation of the potent carcinogen, aflatoxin, in maize poses a significant health risk to humans and animals. Most commercially grown maize lines are susceptible to infection by the fungus that synthesizes aflatoxin, and toxin levels can...
Iron homeostasis is hierarchically regulated by multiple inputs : evidence for the role of reactive oxygen species and iron-zinc cross talk
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
to capture high quality images for automated time course analysis which we aim to distribute throughout the plant science community. Finally, I have performed the two complementary experiments to first identify Fe dependent changes in gene translation...
