How cellular ATP/ADP ratios and reactive oxygen species affect AMPK signalling
… generated ROS by the mitochondria-targeted redox-cycler, MitoParaquat (MPQ). AMPK activity appeared to correlate with decreasing cell ATP/ADP ratios, indicating that both sources of ROS primarily activate AMPK in an AMP/ADP-dependent mechanism. In parallel, I developed an approach for analyzing …

Analysis and application of the En transposable element and genetic study of resistance to Bipolaris maydis in maize
… chromosome labeling line, the T line, and a Cy (Cycler) line (both Rhm/Rhm) showed ~10[superscript]-5 mutation rates of Rhm to rhm when tested against the recessive rhm/rhm line. The hybrid of the two lines, however, produced ~5% resistant individuals when tested against the same rhm line. It is …
