Analysis of oligosaccharyltransferase isoform function in human follicle stimulating hormone via siRNA knockdown
Chambers, Carrie Anne (Wichita State University, 2013-12)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein hormone with two subunits, alpha and beta, and is required for gamete development. FSH is now known to exist as a ratio of two glycoforms that varies during the menstrual ... -
Developing QPCR assay to quantify disease severity in Medicago truncatula due to Macrophomina phaseolina infection
Bhandari, Prajwal (Wichita State University, 2017-07)Macrophomina phaseolina (M. phaseolina) is a soil-borne necrotrophic fungus that causes charcoal rot disease. The pathogen has very wide host range (up to 500 plant species) and affects seed quality, plant growth and yield. ... -
Effects of mutations in GH3 genes on the interaction between the necrotrophic fungus Macrophomina phaseolina and its plant host Arabidopsis thaliana
Brungardt, Jordan (Wichita State University, 2014-12)The necrotrophic soil-borne fungus Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid (M. phaseolina) causes the disease charcoal rot in a wide range of plant species worldwide. Many of these species are agronomically important. Attempts ... -
Investigating the genetic variations among Medicago truncatula ecotypes in response to pathogenic fungus Macrophomina phaseolina
Doerksen, Tyler (Wichita State University, 2012-07)Macrophomina phaseolina, an internationally distributed fungal pathogen, causes a disease known as “charcoal rot” (also known as dry-weather wilt and summer wilt) that clogs vascular tissue and produces yellow, wilted ... -
Molecular interactions between the pathogenic fungus Macrophomina phaseolina and its plant host Medicago truncatula
Reyes Gaige, Andres (Wichita State University, 2010-08)Macrophomina phaseolina is a necrotrophic soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes a disease commonly known as charcoal rot. This fungus has the potential to infect over 500 different plant species worldwide including many ... -
The role of auxin in the compatible interaction between macrophomina phaseolina and its plant host medicago truncatula
Mah, Kar Men (Wichita State University, 2012-05)Macrophomina phaseolina (M. phaseolina) is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes charcoal rot disease in many plant species. This disease causes many problems to the soy industry as no consistently effective control is ... -
Study of charcoal rot disease using the model plant Arabidopsis Thaliana
Fernandes, Priya (Wichita State University, 2013-07)Macrophomina phaseolina is a warm climate fungal pathogen of the Botryosphaeriaceae family that causes charcoal rot disease in over 700 plant species including commercially grown plants such as soybean, maize, peanut and ... -
Suppression of growth of the Phytopathogenic Fungus Macrophomina Phaseolina through application of Exogenous Sirnas
Forster, Heather Dawn (Wichita State University, 2019-07)Macrophomina phaseolina, causative agent of the plant disease charcoal rot, impacts over 500 plant species, causing devastating crop failures worldwide. In Kansas, it is the biggest cause of soybean crop loss, and disease ... -
The link between susceptibility to Macrophomina phaseolina and three phytohormones in Medicago truncatula
Hefel, Adam (Wichita State University, 2015-07)Macrophomina phaseolina is a major agricultural pest causing the disease charcoal rot in many species of crops. The disease manifests as yellowing (chlorosis) and death (necrosis) of plant tissue by secreting plant toxins ...
