Transcription factors (TFs) are proteinaceous complex, which bind to the promoter regions in the DNA and affect transcription initiation. Plant TFs control gene expressions and genes control many physiological processes, which in turn trigger cascades of biochemical reactions in plant cells. The databases available for plant TFs are somewhat abundant but all convey different information and in dif...<br/><br/>Silvia Retana Ramirez, Chhandak Basu (2009) <i>Current Genomics</i> 10: 10-17<br/>

Digoxigenin (DIG) is derived from a plant steroid hormone digoxin found in the plants Digitalis sp. DIG has been successfully used in labeling of nucleic acids. In this paper we optimized minimum probe requirement for a non-radioactive digoxigenin based gene detection system in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. We showed 1 µl of labeled probe was sufficient to hybridize onto 1-10 µg of targe...<br/><br/>Shanion M. Hart, Chhandak Basu (2009) <i></i> 20: 2 96-100<br/>

The importance of terpenes in both nature and human application is difficult to overstate. Basic knowledge of terpene and isoprene biosynthesis and chemistry has accelerated the pace at which scientists have come to understand many plant biochemical and metabolic processes. The abundance and diversity of terpene compounds in nature can have ecosystem-wide influences. Although terpenes have per...<br/><br/>Sam Zwenger, Chhandak Basu (2008) <i>Biotechnology and Molecular Biology Reviews</i> 3: 1-7<br/>

Cryopreservation is a way to store elite quality plant germplasms. The exact mechanism of stress tolerance during cryopreservation is unknown. Unavavailability of a detailed protocol for understanding the molecular genetics of plant cryostress is a major obstacle in plant cryobiology research. This paper describes the methods of extraction of total RNA from cryogenically stored plant tissues accom...<br/><br/>Chhandak Basu (2008) <i>Curr Issues Mol Biol</i> 10: 1-2 55-60<br/>

The goal of this research was to generate a breeding population of horseweed segregating for glyphosate resistance. In order to generate a marker to select between hybrids of glyphosate resistant (GR) and glyphosate susceptible (GS) horseweed, a GR horseweed accession from western Tennessee was transformed with a green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene. The GFP marker allowed for the simple and ...<br/><br/>Matthew D Halfhill, Laura L Good, Chhandak Basu, Jason Burris, Christopher L Main, Thomas C Mueller, C Neal Stewart (2007) <i>Plant Cell Rep</i> <i></i> <i></i> 26: 3 303-311<br/>

Terpenes are defense chemicals found in wide groups of plants. Terpenoids play a large role in plant development and stress response. The terpene synthase family comprises a diverse set of genes, all which contribute to production of terpenoids. We have used tools of bioinformatics and performed an in silico analysis of developmental and tissue specific terpene synthase gene expression in Arab...<br/><br/>Sam Zwenger, Chhandak Basu (2007) <i>Experimental and Clinical Sciences Journal. </i> 6: 203-211<br/>

Parameters for use of the PDS-1000/He (Bio-Rad, USA) particle delivery system were optimized for routine delivery of transgenes into turfgrass cells in an attempt to standardize methods for routine and efficient genetic transformation of turfgrass species (creeping bentgrass, cv. Penn A4). Among various callus types produced on callus induction medium, embryogenic callus was identified using e...<br/><br/>Chhandak Basu, Albert P.

Bacterial wilt of Poa annua has been seen increasingly in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic United States in the past few years. The disease causes severe injury to putting greens and can kill large stands of turfgrass. For some time, however, both the bacterial origin of the disease and the causal agent were in doubt. In order to investigate the identity of the causal agent, isolation of the pathoge...<br/><br/>Mitkowski, N.A., Browning, M., Basu, C., Jordan, K., and Jackson, N.

In spite of the large yield losses that weeds inflict on crops, we know little about the genomics of economically important weed species. Comparative genomics between plant model species and weeds, map-based approaches, genomic sequencing and functional genomics can play vital roles in understanding and dissecting weedy traits of agronomically important weed species that damage crops. Weed genomic...<br/><br/>Chhandak Basu, Matthew D Halfhill, Thomas C Mueller, C Neal Stewart (2004) <i>Trends Plant Sci</i> 9: 8 391-398<br/>

The beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene has been successfully used as a reporter gene in innumerable number of plant species. The functional GUS gene produces blue coloration in plants upon integration into the plant genome. Because of the ease it provides to analyze the gene expression (as no expensive equipment is needed), GUS gene is surely plant biotechnologist's first choice as a reporter gene.

Embryogenic callus was generated from seeds of turfgrass species (creeping bentgrass, cv. Penn A4 and Providence) on tissue culture medium. After 12 weeks, embryogenic calli were identified and used for bombardment with chimeric gene constructs that confer phosphinothricin resistance (bar) as a selectable marker and β-glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter gene. After bombardment, the calli were trans...<br/><br/>Chhandak Basu (2003) <br/>

Leaf and callus tissues of a creeping bentgrass cultivar (Penn A4) had high nuclease activities that degraded exogenously added plasmid DNA. When callus tissue was incubated for 24 h with heparin, spermidine, aurintricarboxylic acid or polyethylene glycol, only heparin and spermidine were effective as in vitro nuclease inhibitors, protecting exogenously added plasmid DNA from degradation.

Transient expression profiles for several chimeric beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene constructs were determined in tissues (young leaves, mature leaves and roots) of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris, cv. Penn A4) following microprojectile bombardment. The constructs analyzed consisted of the uidA (GUS) reporter gene driven by four different promoters (ubiquitin 3-potato, ubiquitin corn, ubiquiti...<br/><br/>Chhandak Basu, Albert P Kausch, Hong Luo, Joel M Chandlee (2003) <i>J Plant Physiol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 160: 10 1233-1239<br/>
