Transcriptional and functional study of Arabidopsis defence response against Pseudomanas syringae.
… also monitored expression profiles of wild-type plants and mutants with defects in key components of the defense signaling network using a microarray. The data were used to model the Arabidopsis defense network 24 hours after infection by Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola strain Psm ES4326. …

Regulation of de-etiolation and stomatal opening responses by HYPOSENSITIVE TO LIGHT and HYPERSENSITIVE TO RED AND BLUE 1.
… is an important environmental cue and regulates plant development processes including de-etiolation, phototropism, shade avoidance, photoperiodic flowering, stomatal movement and so on. In Chapter II, we reported cloning of an Arabidopsis light-signaling component, HYPOSENSITIVE TO LIGHT or HTL. …

The effects of endophytic Fusarium verticillioides on the interactions of maize and its fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis.
… fungi, endophytes and pathogens inhabit plants, interact with each other, and affect their fitness. Although theoretical studies suggest that the outcomes of multispecies interactions are often different from those of pairwise interactions, most empirical studies have focused on pairwise …

Identification of pyruvate decarboxylase/indole pyruvate decarboxylase gene family members from Arabidopsis thaliana.
Several biologically important and diverse reactions are regulated by thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) cofactor-dependent metabolic enzymes, including pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), indole pyruvate decarboxylase (IPDC), and acetohydroxy acid synthase. PDC is a critical enzyme in plant metabolism that …

Comparative analyses identify adaptive genetic variation in crops and crop wild relatives
… approaches. This is also the first study in plants to apply population genetic approaches to identify chromosomal structural variation. In Chapter 3, I used a population genetic approach to identify genomic regions that contain adaptive mutations resistant to Fusarium head blight in a barley …
