Deep Annotation of Populus trichocarpa MicroRNAs from Diverse Tissue Sets
Puzey, Joshua Robert; Karger, Amir; Axtell, Michael; Kramer, Elena M. (Public Library of Science, 2012)Populus trichocarpa is an important woody model organism whose entire genome has been sequenced. This resource has facilitated the annotation of microRNAs (miRNAs), which are short non-coding RNAs with critical regulatory ... -
Evolution of Spur-Length Diversity in Aquilegia Petals Is Achieved Solely Through Cell-Shape Anisotropy
Puzey, Joshua Robert; Gerbode, S. J.; Hodges, S. A.; Kramer, Elena M.; Mahadevan, Lakshminarayanan (The Royal Society, 2012)The role of petal spurs and specialized pollinator interactions has been studied since Darwin. Aquilegia petal spurs exhibit striking size and shape diversity, correlated with specialized pollinators ranging from bees to ... -
Identification of Conserved Aquilegia Coerulea MicroRNAs and Their Targets
Puzey, Joshua Robert; Kramer, Elena M. (Elsevier, 2009)Aquilegia is an emerging model organism that is phylogenetically intermediate between the core eudicot and monocot models, Arabidopsis and Oryza. In this study, we have used a comparative genomics approach to identify 45 ... -
Plant MicroRNA Evolution and Mechanisms of Shape Change in Plants
Puzey, Joshua Robert (2013-02-12)Plant microRNAs have been shown to have important roles in regulating diverse processes ranging from reproductive development to stress response. In the first two chapters, I focus on miRNA diversity in Aquilegia studying ...
