Second-step splicing factors and heavy metal stress management in Arabidopsis thaliana
… splicing factors and their involvements in heavy metal stress response. The first goal of this project was to determine unique characteristics of the multicopy second-step splicing factors and the tissue and developmental stages in which each of these genes is expressed. My studies have …

The Influence of Land Coverage and Soil Chemical Factors on Soil Bacterial Community Diversity and Structure in Cedartown, GA, USA
<p>Heavy metals pose serious threats to organisms due to their mobility and solubility in soil. Bacteria communities are vulnerable to heavy metal stress, but the response of different bacterial groups may vary depending on the level and type of heavy metal contamination. When subjected to heavy …

Genetic analysis of innate immunity in Caenorhabditis elegans
… to see if the mutants would also affect other stress response pathways in the worm, I tested the mutants for heavy metal sensitivity. Five out of the six strong Esp suppressor mutants did not suppress the heavy metal sensitivity of mek-1, suggesting that our mutants are more specifically …

The evolutionary history and impact of polyploidy in mustard crops and their relatives
… is applied in Chapter 3 to investigate salt and heavy metal stress responses in the mustard crop wild relative Cakile maritima. These analyses identify retained duplicate genes likely contributing to stress adaptation, highlighting the roles of both WGT- and SSD-derived duplications in …
