Iojap: Morphological And Physiological Phenotype Characterization In Arabidopsis, Thomas Jay Payne
Iojap: Morphological And Physiological Phenotype Characterization In Arabidopsis, Thomas Jay Payne
Doctoral Dissertations
IOJAP protein is found in all organisms that contain a ribosome of bacterial origin. The majority of studies suggest that IOJAP plays a role in translation, although this has yet to be thoroughly investigated in plants. Using Arabidopsis thaliana, an extensive phenotype characterization of iojap mutants was performed. Many processes of plant growth were slightly impaired at optimal temperature (22˚C) but became severely hindered at low temperature (12˚C and 4˚C). These cold temperature defects manifested in an overall reduction of plant growth as well as variegation, chlorosis, leaf hyponasty, as well as reduced maximum quantum yield (Fv/F …
Biochemical And Proteomic Approaches To Determine The Impact Level Of Each Step Of The Supply Chain On Tomato Fruit Quality, Robert T. Madden
Biochemical And Proteomic Approaches To Determine The Impact Level Of Each Step Of The Supply Chain On Tomato Fruit Quality, Robert T. Madden
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Fresh fruits and vegetables (FFVs) are the most frequently wasted foods because of their perishability and handling requirements. However, there is a lack of information on how much each step of the supply chain impacts FFVs quality, particularly on tomatoes, and what measures need to be taken for an immediate and effective impact on waste reduction. There is also no information on how the supply chain affects the proteome of the tomato and what proteins are differentially regulated by the most impactful steps of the supply chain. The objectives of the work presented on this thesis were to evaluate the …
