An investigation of the role of Arabidopsis thaliana plant natriuretic peptide in planta

Author: Donaldson, Lara Elizabeth Date: 2009 The sessile nature of plants demands that they respond appropriately to changes in their environment (stresses) in order to survive. Critical to survival is the maintenance of water and ion homeostasis. The mechanisms by which plants achieve ... Read more
Co-expression and promoter content analyses assign a role in biotic and abiotic stress responses to plant natriuretic peptides

Author: Meier, Stuart ; Bastian, Rene ; Donaldson, Lara ; Murray, Shane ; Bajic, Vladimir ; Gehring, Chris Date: 2008 BACKGROUND: Plant natriuretic peptides (PNPs) are a class of systemically mobile molecules distantly related to expansins. While several physiological responses to PNPs have been reported, their biological role has remained elusive. Here we ... Read more c b
Gametophytic selection in Arabidopsis thaliana supports the selective model of intron length reduction

Author: Seoighe, Cathal ; Gehring, Chris ; Hurst, Laurence D Date: 2005 Why do highly expressed genes have small introns? This is an important issue, not least because it provides a testing ground to compare selectionist and neutralist models of genome evolution. Some argue that small introns are selectively ...

Heritability in the efficiency of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in humans

Author: Seoighe, Cathal ; Gehring, Chris Date: 2010 BACKGROUND: In eukaryotes mRNA transcripts of protein-coding genes in which an intron has been retained in the coding region normally result in premature stop codons and are therefore degraded through the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) ...
