Identification and characterization of an expansin gene AsEXP1 associated with heat tolerance in C3 Agrostis grass species (2007)

Xu, Jichen, Tian, Jiang, Belanger, Faith C., Huang, Bingru

Plant tolerance of heat stress involves various changes at physiological and molecular levels. The objective of this study was to examine the expression of a gene encoding expansin protein in...

Endophytic Fungal β-1,6-Glucanase Expression in the Infected Host Grass1

Moy, Melinda, Li, Huaijun Michael, Sullivan, Ray, White, James F., Belanger, Faith C.

Mutualistic fungal endophytes infect many grass species and often confer benefits to the hosts such as reduced herbivory by insects and animals. The physiological interactions between the endophytes...

Molecular Characterization of the Major Maize Embryo Globulin Encoded by the Glb1 Gene 1

Belanger, Faith C., Kriz, Alan L.

One of the most abundant proteins in maize (Zea mays L.) embryos is the molecular weight 63,000 globulin encoded by the Glb1 gene. To obtain DNA clones corresponding to Glb1, a cDNA library...

Heat Shock Proteins Are Not Required for the Degradation of α-Amylase mRNA and the Delamellation of Endoplasmic Reticulum in Heat-Stressed Barley Aleurone Cells 1

Brodl, Mark R., Belanger, Faith C., Ho, Tuan-hua David

When barley (Hordeum vulgare) aleurone layers are heat shocked, the synthesis and secretion of α-amylase and other secretory proteins is arrested and the synthesis of heat shock proteins (hsps) is...

Identification of a Gene in the Process of Being Lost from the Genus Agrostis1[w]

Li, Huaijun Michael, Rotter, David, Bonos, Stacy A., Meyer, William A., Belanger, Faith C.

Lineage-specific gene loss is considered one of the processes contributing to speciation and genome diversity. Such gene loss has been inferred from interspecies comparisons of orthologous DNA...
