Interest: The structure and function of motor proteins in smooth muscle.
In this project, we are isolating and testing the function of a newly discovered "master" regulator of gene expression to determine whether or not they can improve the stress tolerance of grapevine as has been shown to occur in other plant species. In addition, we will analyze the mRNA and protein expression patterns in these grapevines using technologies that have been optimized in our laboratories to identify other genes that might contribute to abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. Finally, we are evaluating the degree of stress tolerance displayed by these grapevines under greenhouse and field conditions. Read More...
