Gene Family Encoding Hordeum Vulgare Translation Elongation Factor 1 Alpha (Ef-1a): Assignment Based On Bioinformatic Analysis Of Cdna Sequences, Jackson Moeller

Search of international DNA database, Genbank, produced eight barley cDNA EFlα sequences with unique accession numbers. The length of these sequences varied from an incomplete 502 bp to a full length 1646 bp encoding a 447 amino acid protein. The knowledge that there are four EF-lα gene family members in barley led us to query whether all four genes were represented in the group of eight database submitted sequences. Also of great importance was the correct assignment of gene family member to its mRNA and protein expression profiles. Before we could begin to address the expression studies, we undertook the …

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal
In addition to having numerous applications and pharmaceuticals, terpenoids are an important class of defensive compounds that can accumulate in plants after pathogen infection or injury by insects. Sequences of DNA encoding putative terpene synthases and an oxidosqualene synthase, isolated from insect-damaged Medicago truncatula leaves, were selected from an expressed sequence tag (EST) data base. The cDNA clones were used as radio-labeled probes to analyze gene expression in leaves treated with factors known to trigger a defense response in plants. Transcript levels for all of the genes examined increased in response to artificial wounding, insect herbivory, and methyl jasmonate (meJA) …
