Functional characterization of orphan genes in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2015-01-28)All organisms are known to contain a unique set of genes called 'orphan genes', which do not share any similarity with genes or protein domains in other evolutionary lineages. Such orphan genes can impart unique traits to ... -
Novel insights into the molecular roles of UBP5 in controlling chromatin dynamics and plant development
(NUI Galway, 2023-04-03)Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are conserved chromatin regulators essential for controlling key developmental programs in eukaryotes. PcG proteins assemble together to form multi-protein complexes known as Polycomb ... -
The regulation of starch synthesis by phytochrome A&B, thioredoxins and plastidial kinases in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves
(2017-08-09)Starch is an important storage carbon in many plant leaves which is synthesized during the day and degraded at night to maintain cellular maintenance and eventually growth. The biosynthesis of starch is a highly regulated ...
