Molecular and genetic studies of iron homeostasis in Arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Iron is an essential element for plant survival. However, in excess, it is deleterious to the organism. In the present thesis we describe a functional genomic approach and a mutant screen directed towards increasing our ...
Physical inactivity induced dysregulation of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue metabolism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
There has been a precipitous decline in the daily physical activity in humans that has been accompanied by an epidemic rise in the incidence of obesity and type II diabetes. This rapid decline in physical activity in humans ...
