Karina Medina Jiménez Graduate student Plant-herbivore interaction Physalis philadelphica (commonly known as husk tomato), is native to central Mexico and has an ancient tradition of dietary and medicinal usage. In order to understand the molecular and genetic responses of P. philadelphia to herbivory, we employed Next Generation Sequencing (RNA-seq) to characterize the transcriptome of plants exposed to either Manduca sexta, Trialeurodes vaporariorum or exogenous application of jasmonic acid (JA) treatments.
Omar Oltehua López Graduate student EvoDevo and molecular basis of paramutation in maize Paramutation is a mitotically and meiotically heritable epigenetic change in gene expression mediated by RNA-directed communication between homologous sequences. We use the well characterized b1 paramutation system in maize to determine the developmental role of genes required for paramutation and to develop molecular and genetic tools to investigate the developmental timing of paramutation.
