Name(s): Creator (cre): Srithayakumar, Vythegi, Thesis advisor (ths): Kyle, Christopher J, Degree committee member (dgc): White, Bradley N, Degree committee member (dgc): Saville, Barry J, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Interactions between hosts and pathogens play a crucial role in their adaptation, evolution and persistence. These interactions have been extensively studied in model organisms, yet it is unclear how well they represent mechanisms of disease response in primary vectors in natural settings. The objective of my thesis was to investigate host-pathogen interactions in natural host… more

Abstract: <p><italic>Ustilago maydis</italic> (DC) Corda is the causal agent of 'common smut of corn'. Completion of the <italic>U. maydis</italic> lifecycle is dependent on development inside its host, <italic>Zea mays</italic>. Symptoms of <italic>U. maydis</italic> infection include chlorosis and the formation of tumours on all aerial corn… more

The Cytokinin Oxidase/Dehydrogenase (CKX) Gene Family in Soybeans (Glycine max): Phylogenetic Analysis, Protein Properties and Investigation of Natural Variations among Varieties.

Name(s): Creator (cre): Kambhampati, Shrikaar, Thesis advisor (ths): Emery, Neil RJ, Degree committee member (dgc): Saville, Barry J, Degree committee member (dgc): Kyle, Christopher J, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Glycine max (soybean) is an economically important plant species that registers a relatively low yield/seed weight compared to other food and oil seed crops due to higher rates of flower and pod abortion. Alleviation of this abortion rate can be achieved by altering the sink strength of the reproductive organs of soybeans. Cytokinin (CK) plays a fundamental role in promoting growth of… more
