Cuba is an ecological rarity in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its complex political and economic history shows limited disturbances, extinctions, pollution, and resource depletion by legal or de facto measures. Vast mangroves, wetlands, and forests play key roles in protecting biodiversity and reducing risks of hazards caused or aggravated by climate change. Cuba boasts coral reefs with some of the region’s greatest fish biomass and coral cover. Although Cuba has set aside major protected areas that safeguard a host of endemic species, its environment is by no means pristine. Its early history is one of deforestation and agricultural production …
Abscisic Acid And Nitrate Transporter Mtlatd/Nip Signaling In Root And Nodule Development In Medicago Truncatula, Chang Zhang
Abscisic Acid And Nitrate Transporter Mtlatd/Nip Signaling In Root And Nodule Development In Medicago Truncatula, Chang Zhang
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that regulates various developmental processes and environmental stress responses. ABA modulates growth of both primary roots and lateral roots, helping to shape root architecture. The lateral root organ defective (latd) mutants, disrupted in the MtLATD/NIP gene, encoding a nitrate transporter, have severe root growth defects that can be rescued by applying ABA. However, the way in which ABA stimulates latd root growth is unclear, and the downstream components of MtLATD/NIP and ABA signaling are completely unknown. To answer these questions, this dissertation focuses on two major potential downstream regulators: Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) …

Role Of Heme Oxygenase In Modulating Expression Of Ros-Regulatory Enzymes In Medicago Truncatula, Parna Ghosh
Role Of Heme Oxygenase In Modulating Expression Of Ros-Regulatory Enzymes In Medicago Truncatula, Parna Ghosh
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Heme Oxygenase (HO) is an enzyme universally found in animals, plants and microbes. In plants, the role of heme oxygenase in the synthesis of the phytochrome chromophore is well recognized and has been extensively studied; however its role in regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants is just beginning to be explored, particularly in legumes. Legumes interact with Rhizobium bacteria to form symbiotic nitrogen fixing nodules. ROS plays an important role in the development of roots as well as symbiotic nodules. In the model legume Medicago truncatula, ROS in the root is regulated in part by the LATD/NIP gene. …
Investigations Into Host-Specific Interactions And Local Adaptation In The Mycorrhizal Symbiosis, Jonathan Gonzalez
Investigations Into Host-Specific Interactions And Local Adaptation In The Mycorrhizal Symbiosis, Jonathan Gonzalez
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Mycorrhizal fungi are soil-borne organisms that form symbiotic associations with the majority of land plants. These fungi gather and exchange mineral nutrients with plants for photosynthetically derived carbohydrates. Mycorrhizal fungi can also confer other benefits onto plants, e.g. defense against pathogens, improved water relations, tolerance to heavy metal toxicity and herbivory. The influence of mycorrhizal fungi on plant mineral nutrition and response to stress suggests that these organisms may have a role to play sustainable agriculture as well as in bioremediation and ecosystem restoration.
In contributing to this important research, I investigated host-specific interactions between mycorrhizal fungi and the sex …
