These are some of the
students that have graduated from the lab.

Sarah Archer-Evans
I am working on overexpression of seven
different Annexin proteins from Arabidopsis.
Ultimately, I will purify and test these
Annexins for enzymatic activities such as nucleotide
triphosphatase.

Collene Jeter
I am using
Arabidopsis to study the possible cell-signaling function of
extracellular ATP (xATP) in plants, with the goal of characterizing
a cell signaling pathway mediated by xATP. Included among the
responses to xATP I am currently studying are changes in cytosolic
[Ca2+] and changes in gene expression. |

Charlotte Song
I am studying the role of apyrase in wounding
in Arabidopsis and the possible role of extracellular ATP in cell
death in duckweed. |

Iris Steinebrunner
Like other
members in our lab, I am infatuated with apyrase. Trying to
understand why plants need this enzyme, my approach focuses on
studying genetic knock-out plants which lack it. The defects they
display give clues on the enzyme’s function. |

I'm working on
developing the RNAi technique for use in Ceratopteris richardii fern
spores. This technique will allow us to suppress the expression of
specific genes, elucidating their role in the spore's gravity
response |

Yu Sun
I am investigating
possible functions of the two principal apyrases in Arabidopsis. My
main approach is to use GUS-promoter and GFP-apyrase fusions to
learn more about where the apyrases are expressed on the tissue and
subcellular level. |

Wen-Qiang Tang
I am studying the
possible role of the trans-plasma membrane ATP gradient in plant
development. I am particularly interested in results showing that
this gradient affects auxin distribution in plants, and thus can
also affect gravitropic growth. |
