Cellulose biosynthesis inhibitors modulate defense transcripts and regulate genes that are implicated in cell wall re-structuring in arabidopsis
Mortaji, Zahra (2011-06-01)The cell wall is a multifunctional structure which is implicated in plant growth and development as well as responding to any environmental changes including biotic and abiotic stresses. One of the practical approaches in ... -
Characterization and transcriptomic profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana under cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor treatment
Kileeg, Zachary (2018-08-01)Cellulose is one of the most important components of plant cell walls for industry and plant development. Screening mutants resistant to chemicals that conditionally inhibit cellulose synthesis, known as cellulose biosynthesis ... -
Characterization of novel genetic alleles of cellulose synthase
Law, Robert A. (2011-01-01)Cellulose is the most abundant polymer on earth. Despite this, relatively little is known about the proteins and biochemical mechanisms governing cellulose biosynthesis. Only in the past 10 years since the sequencing of ... -
Chronic effects of single intra-peritoneal injection of endosulfan on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and field observations of caged rainbow in Oshawa Creek
Armour, Jeffrey Andrew (2009-08-01)The organochlorine pesticide endosulfan has been shown to be highly toxic to fish and there is some evidence to support that it may act as an endocrine disrupting chemical. Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were ... -
Expression of Arabidopsis thaliana cellulose synthase proteins and associated proteins in a Spodoptera frugiperda cell line
Lyons, Jessy (2012-10-01)Understanding how cellulose synthesis occurs is key to understanding the formation of the plant cell wall. This understanding could also be key to modifying cellulose production to permit more efficient extraction of ... -
Forward and reverse genetic approaches to investigate cellulose biosynthesis in Physcomitrium patens
Behnami, Sara (2021-04-01)Cellulose biosynthesis is a common feature of land plants and involves multimeric complexes composed of cellulose synthase A (CESA) proteins and other structural proteins. The exact stoichiometry of CESA proteins and ... -
Forward screening for herbicide resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana and the monocot species Triticum aestivum
Reavell-Roy, Elysabeth (2019-06-01)Cellulose is the primary structural component of plant cell walls and is composed of β-1,4-glucan chains. The cellulose synthesis complex is composed of multiple cellulose synthases (CESAs), which work together to extend ... -
Genetic analysis of cellulose crystallization in Gluconacetobacter xylinus
Salgado, Luis Fernando (2015-08-01)In nature, polysaccharides, such as cellulose, are important biopolymers involved in numerous biological functions including prevention of cellular desiccation, energy storage, osmoregulation, and cell wall formation. Apart ... -
Molecular characterization of GABA receptor subunits from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
Siddiqui, Salma (2009-08-01)Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled by several nematocides which target ion channels. We have identified two H. contortus ion channel genes, Hcounc- 49B and C that encode two GABA-gated chloride ... -
Pure culture and metagenomic approaches to investigate cellulose and xylan degradation
Ng, Sita (2010-04-01)Lignocellulose is composed of lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose. Lignocellulose waste is a sustainable and renewable resource available for use in biotechnological applications. Efficient enzyme production and enzymes ...
