Journal ArticleDOI
EST sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the model grass Brachypodium distachyon.
John P. Vogel,Yong Q. Gu,Paul Twigg,Gerard R. Lazo,Debbie Laudencia-Chingcuanco,Daniel M. Hayden,Teresa J. Donze,Lindsay A. Vivian,Boryana Stamova,Devin Coleman-Derr +9 more
TL;DR: To demonstrate the utility of this EST collection for studying cell wall composition, homologs for the genes involved in the biosynthesis of lignin subunits were identified and reinforced the close relationship of Brachypodium to wheat and barley.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene expression profiling of tolerant barley in response to Diuraphis noxia (Hemiptera: Aphididae) feeding
Andrea R. Gutsche,Tiffany Heng-Moss,Gautam Sarath,Paul Twigg,Yuannan Xia,Guoqing Lu,D. Mornhinweg +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, transcript profiling with Affymetrix GeneChip Barley Genome arrays using RNA extracted from tissues of tolerant and susceptible genotypes collected at three hours, three days and six days after Diuraphis noxia introduction was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of SbMyb60 impacts phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and alters secondary cell wall composition in Sorghum bicolor.
Erin D. Scully,Erin D. Scully,Tammy Gries,Gautam Sarath,Nathan A. Palmer,Lisa M. Baird,Michelle J. Serapiglia,Bruce S. Dien,Akwasi A. Boateng,Zhengxiang Ge,Deanna L. Funnell-Harris,Deanna L. Funnell-Harris,Paul Twigg,Thomas E. Clemente,Scott E. Sattler,Scott E. Sattler +15 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that overexpression of SbMyb60 is associated with activation of monolignol biosynthesis in sorghum, which represents a target for modification of plant cell wall composition, with the potential to improve biomass for renewable uses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Genomics in Switchgrass Using 61,585 High-Quality Expressed Sequence Tags
Christian M. Tobias,Gautam Sarath,Paul Twigg,Erika Lindquist,Jasmyn Pangilinan,Bryan W. Penning,Kerry Barry,Maureen C. McCann,Nicholas C. Carpita,Gerard R. Lazo +9 more
TL;DR: Three cDNA libraries from callus, crown, and seedling tissues of ‘Kanlow’ switchgrass were end‐sequenced to generate a total of 61,585 high‐quality ESTs, indicating an overall similarity between the two genome copies present in the tetraploid.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Nodule-Specific Gene Family from Alnus glutinosa Encodes Glycine- and Histidine-Rich Proteins Expressed in the Early Stages of Actinorhizal Nodule Development
TL;DR: The protein encoded by agNt84 cDNA was expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion with maltose-binding protein, and was shown to have the ability to bind to a nickel-chelating resin, indicating that it may function as a metal-bindingprotein.
