Systems analysis of grass cell wall biosynthesis for biofuel production
(2017-05)
Grass cell walls play an important role in plant development, pathogen defense, and are an abundant and sustainable carbon source for biofuel production. Chapter 1 introduces the great impact of cell wall composition on ...
THE IMPACT OF LONG-TERM ELEVATED ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE ON BELOWGROUND MICROBIAL COMMUNITY AT CONTRAST NITROGEN CONDITIONS
(2017-12)
Global terrestrial ecosystems are subjected to various climate change factors, including the concurrent elevated CO2 (eCO2) and nitrogen deposition (eN). Despite the increasing appreciation that eCO2 and eN can interactively ...
BET-HEDGING IN HETEROCARPIC GRINDELIA CILIATA (ASTERACEAE)
(2017-05-12)
A challenge for all living organisms is to offset the fitness associated risks of environmental uncertainty. Bet-hedging strategies are adaptive in unpredictable environments and are documented in a wide range of taxa ...
Analysis of the functional conservation of genes in a plant single cell type: the root hair cell
(2017-12)
The evolution of plant species is tightly associated with major changes in their genome such as their allopolyploidy and autopolyploidy. These paleopolyploid events and recent genome duplications have contributed to the ...
BIOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE THREE-WAY JUNCTION IN PHI29-LIKE BACTERIOPHAGE PROHEAD RNA
(2017-08-18)
The knowledge gained from biophysical studies of RNA can contribute to basic research and inform new directions for translational research. In particular, information that develops the relationships among RNA energetics, ...
