Characterization of an in vitro neural stem cell niche with educational component : stem cells and society
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] We describe a novel neural stem cell (NSC) culture system, derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells, that maintains and expands a population of neural ... -
Insights into phototropic signaling : a study of the unusual attributes of a hyper-phototropic mutant
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Many questions persist about the nature of and components associated with the initial signaling events that follow light perception for phototropism. ... -
Interaction of RNA polymerase II and the RNA silencing machinery in heterochromatin formation of Drosophila
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The eukaryotic chromosome is composed of two structurally and functionally distinct compartments. The loosely packaged region is known as the euchromatin, ... -
Regulation of ceramide synthase 1 in cellular stress response
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Ceramides are intimately involved in a wide range of cellular processes. In mammals, de novo ceramide synthesis is catalyzed by the 6 ceramide synthase ... -
Regulation of plant development in Arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The development of a complex organism, such as a plant, requires the function of multiple pathways that regulate various aspects of the developmental ... -
Role of non-hypophototropic hypocotyl[3] (NPH[3]) in regulation of phototropism in Arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Light is arguably one of the most important environmental factor that not only provides the plant with its energy needs but also cues to modulate its ...
