Effect of far-red induced shade-avoidance responses on carbon allocation in arabidopsis thaliana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Plants are a very dominant form of life on earth and a large part of human society is based on growing plants. Plants use photosynthesis to turn sunlight and carbon dioxide in the air into sugar. This sugar is used to grow ... -
The role of ERF transcription factors in defenses against specialist and generalist herbivores in Arabidopsis thaliana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Plant responses to herbivory are complex, involving differential perception, multiple signaling pathways, and the transcription of defense-responsive genes. Using a whole-genome microarray and bioinformatics tools, we ... -
Source-sink interactions shape herbivore-induced defense responses in Arabidopsis thaliana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Plant tissues are not attacked uniformly, nor are they uniformly responsive to insect herbivores, in part because they are modular organisms made up ...
