Gene Expression Patterns Of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (Bmps) During Early Embryonic Development In The Annual Killifish Austrofundulus Limnaeus, Eva Y. Chan Jun 2016

Gene Expression Patterns Of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (Bmps) During Early Embryonic Development In The Annual Killifish Austrofundulus Limnaeus, Eva Y. Chan

PSU McNair Scholars Online Journal

The developmental pattern of the annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus is unusual compared to other fish. First, the cell movements associated with gastrulation are separated from formation of the embryonic axis. In addition, embryonic diapause can occur. Diapause II and III are often observed when embryos are incubated at 25oC. Maternal influences and incubation environment are the factors that determine entrance into embryonic diapause, but the molecular mechanisms that regulate diapause are still unknown. Interestingly, embryonic diapause and the unusual cell movements observed during early development are always found together in species of annual killifish that exhibit diapause. Bone …


Genome-Wide Analysis Of Response To Low Sulfur (Lsu) Genes In Grass Species And Expression Profiling Of Model Grass Species Brachypodium Distachyon Under S Deficiency, Hüseyi̇n Tombuloğlu, Abdugaffor Ablazov, Ertuğrul Fi̇li̇z Jan 2016

Genome-Wide Analysis Of Response To Low Sulfur (Lsu) Genes In Grass Species And Expression Profiling Of Model Grass Species Brachypodium Distachyon Under S Deficiency, Hüseyi̇n Tombuloğlu, Abdugaffor Ablazov, Ertuğrul Fi̇li̇z

Turkish Journal of Biology

Sulfur (S) affects the plant life cycle and crop yield and has nutritional importance for human and animal diet. Its deficiency is one of the major problems in agriculture. However, the plant-specific LSU (response to Low Sulfur) gene family has not been extensively analyzed in major plant species such as grasses. In this study, we have performed in silico genome-wide analysis of LSU genes in 6 grass species, including Brachypodium distachyon, Sorghum bicolor, Oryza sativa, Zea mays, Triticum aestivum, and Panicum virgatum. All identified LSU genes contained one exon encoding proteins of acidic character with cytoplasmic localization. In silico analysis …
