Characterization of MAP Kinase Regulation of Cyclic AMP Signaling in Dictyostelium
Adhikari, Nirakar (2018-12-01)cAMP signaling plays a critical role in cell development and chemotaxis of Dictyostelium discoideum. Regulation of the MAP kinase protein Erk2 and phosphodiesterase RegA activity eventually controls the cAMP-mediated cell ... -
Comparative physiology of two poikilohaline Picochlorum strains
Sabella, Anthony J. (2020-05)The Picochlorum genus was first circumscribed in 2004, and has since had numerous species and strains added and characterized. This study uses batch and semicontinuous chemostat culture modes to investigate the physiology ... -
Comprehensive Dataset of Genes with Loss-of-function Mutant Phenotypes in Arabidopsis Thaliana
Lloyd, John Paul (Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)Mutant phenotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana have proven to be a powerful tool in the study of plant biology. However, genome-wide information on these mutant phenotypes and the altered genes that give rise to them remains ... -
Growth and Development of Setaria viridis (Poaceae) Under Normal and Shaded Light Regimes
Li, Qing (2019-05-01)Plants rely on photosynthesis to gain energy for growth, yet most plants are found with other plants, and therefore need to deal with varying degrees of shading. Shading by plants affects both the spectrum (especially red ... -
Maintaining nitrogen-limited balanced-growth states in a cyclo-turbidostat
Franks, Dylan (2023-05)This dissertation presents two separate studies on the green microalga Picochlorum oklahomense. The first study investigates the minimum nitrogen cell quota required to support maximum growth rate and the effects of nitrogen ... -
Novel Aggregating Growth Habit in Dunaliella Spp. (Chlorophyta, Dunaliellales)
Cobbs, Michael Edward (2015-05-01)Species of Dunaliella are known to aggregate in a palmelloid stage, but they can also aggregate in a previously uninvestigated manner. This perpetual aggregation occurs in isolates from substrates such as the benthos, ... -
Regulation of epidermal cell production by the suppressor of erecta and erecta genes in Arabidopsis thaliana
Wen, Xi (2021-12)Despite many scientific studies on plant epidermal cell development and differentiation, the knowledge on molecular regulation of the ontogeny of plant epidermal cells is still very limited. The biggest breakthrough is the ... -
Understanding the genetic basis of shattering in pearl millet
Shrestha, Nikee (2022-05)Over the last years, genes involved in several traits targeted during domestication have been studied in crops. Because shattering is an important domestication and agronomic trait, it has been intensively studied in crops ...
