Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 43, No. 251 (June 1992), pp. 857-864 (8 pages) Salinity causes physiological and morphological changes in plants and calcium can mitigate many of these effects. In ...
How developing plants build and regulate their solar reactors is still poorly understood. How many genes are involved, and which are the most important? How are different cell types endowed with ...
Figure 1: Schematic representation of the intact maize pepc gene and the selective antibiotic resistance gene (hygromycin phosphotransferase, HPT II) used for rice transformation. Figure 2: The ...
Root hydraulic conductivity in plants ($Lp_r $) exhibits large variations in response to abiotic stimuli. In this study, we investigated the impact of dynamic ...
Plant researchers have investigated the transport of compounds in maize. They focused on the mechanism used to transport the products of photosynthesis for further distribution in the plant through ...
The loss of function of RF1A1/ALDH2B2, a fertility restorer (RF) protein causes maize susceptibility to Helminthosporium maydis, the causal agent that was responsible for the maize southern corn leaf ...
Ph.D., University of Washington, 1987. M.S., University of Washington,1982. B.S., cum laude, University of Washington, 1980. Plant development is both cyclic and ...
Goss’s wilt, caused by the bacterium Clavibacter nebraskensis, was first identified in the US in 1969 and has since spread to ...
Photosynthesis is arguably the most impressive feat of nature, where plants harvest light energy and convert it into the building blocks of life at fantastically high efficiency. Indeed modern ...
Maize has a significantly higher productivity rate compared with many other crops. The particular leaf anatomy and special form of photosynthesis (referred to as 'C4') developed during its evolution ...
