Role of the Arabidopsis peptide transporter AtOPT6 in heavy metal detoxification and plant-pathogen interaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
AtOPT6, is a member of oligopeptide transport (OPT) gene family. In Arabidopsis thaliana, there are nine members in the OPT gene family that are thought to be involved in peptide transport. Spacial and temporal expression ...
A study of transcript profiling of soybean roots during nitrogen fixing symbiosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Nodulation is a symbiotic association between a host plant and its bacterium. The result of this interaction is the formation of a novel organ, the ...
Development and validation of a DNA microarray for analysis of the Bradyrhizobium japonicum transcriptome
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Bradyrhizobium japonicum, forms a nitrogen fixing symbiosis with soybean. The ability to survive in soil environments, colonize the rhizosphere and ...
Extracellular ATP, apyrase and nodulation of non-legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] ATP is a universal energy source for biochemical reactions in all living organisms. Extracellular ATP (eATP) is well studied in animal processes such ...
Phosphoprotein analysis of soybean root hairs in response to Bradyrhizobium japonicum inoculation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The nitrogen fixing symbiosis in soybean (Glycine max) is initiated by colonization of root hairs by the symbiotic bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Specificity in this symbiosis is determined very early during the initial ...
A comprehensive, systems-biology analysis of the response of soybean root hairs and stripped roots to heat stress
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Heat stress is likely to be a key factor in the negative impact of climate change on crop production. Heat stress significantly influences the functions of roots, which provide support, water and nutrients to other plant ...
Identification of an interaction network of Arabidopsis transcription factors and MAP kinases involved in chitin signaling and pathogen defense
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Chitin, found in the fungal cell walls, is an established elicitor of plant defense responses. Our previous study, using the ATH1 Affymetrix microarrays ...
Identification of putative interacting proteins of soybean nodulation receptor-like kinase (GmNORK)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Legume plants establish beneficial symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria, called rhizobia. Root hairs serve as a main entry point for rhizobial ...
Downstream chitin signaling mediated by CERK1 in Arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Recent work identified a LysM-domain membrane associated receptor-like kinase (CERK1) as the chitin receptor in Arabidopsis thaliana. In order to further study downstream chitin signaling, we screened an Arabidopsis ...
Identification of an extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate receptor in Arabidopsis thaliana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is a well-known energy currency in all organisms. However, ATP also acts as a signaling molecule when it is secreted ...
In silico study of legume and legume-type lectins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
In contemporary biological research, bioinformatics and computational biology are essential fields that can help biologists solve and understand complex biological problems and mechanisms. Indeed, recent advances in DNA ...
Molecular mechanisms of stress tolerance in plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Environmental stress conditions such as drought, salt stress and pathogenic fungi affect negatively plant growth and productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to search for new genetic components and strategies for improving ...
Exploring the symbiotic relationship of plants and microbes by mass spectrometry imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Current practices in agriculture make use of chemical inputs including nitrogen fertilizers to provide high crop yields since nitrogen is often the limiting nutrient in field soil. However, nitrogen fertilizer use has ...
Role of microRNAs in the legume - rhizobium nitrogen fixing symbiosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nitrogen is a macronutrient that is critical for plant growth and development because it provides the building blocks of nucleic acids, proteins, ...
Developing molecular genetic tools for gene discovery in soybean (glycine max)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is one of the most valuable crops grown worldwide for seed protein and oil production and can fix atmospheric nitrogen. ...
Identification of a novel extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate receptor in Arabidopsis thaliana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In animals, extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (eATP) is a well-studied signaling molecule that is recognized by plasma membrane-localized, P2-type ...
