• 

  Iowa State University

  Jun 2005 - Dec 2007

  Graduate Research Assistant

  Thesis: Characterizing ZmbZIP1, a novel Opaque-2 like bZip gene in Zea mays. This research focused on determining the role of ZmbZIP1, a leucine zipper transcription factor, in kernel lysine deposition.Secondary research focus: Determining the molecular mechanism differentiating maize BS11 high and low methionine populations. QRT-PCR and small scale genotyping studies implicated molecular changes in both the maize delta-zein protein and cysteine synthetase gene region as responsible for variability in methionine deposition between these two near-isogenic maize lines Show less
