Abstract: <p>Cytokinins (CKs) are hormones that promote cell division. During the formation of tumors in the Ustilago maydis-Zea mays pathosystem, the levels of CKs are elevated. Although CK levels are increased, the origins of these CKs have not been determined and it is unclear as to whether they promote the formation of tumors. To determine this, we measured the CK levels, identified CK… more Full Text: CYTOKININ BIOSYNTHESIS, SIGNALING AND TRANSLOCATION DURING THE FORMATION OF TUMORS IN THE Ustilago maydis- Zea mays PATHOSYSTEM A thesis submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of …

Abstract: <p>Microalgae are a promising source of valuable compounds relevant to biofuels, biomaterials, nutraceuticals as well as animal and human nutriment. Unfortunately, low cell density and slow growth result in reduced economic feasibility. Heterotrophic cell culturing using an organic carbon source in lieu of light has proven to be an effective alternative to photobioreactors; however, further… more Full Text: MAE EFFE …
