Description
This research investigated the application of natural plant pigments as agricultural indicators for abiotic stress in plants and evaluated their subsequent impact on plant health. Overall, this project generated and tested prototype indicator plants for water stress, using inducible regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in model plant Nicotiana tabacum. Additionally, this research employed next generation sequencing to identify additional regulatory motifs that could be used to drive gene expression in plant stress. This thesis demonstrates the utility of anthocyanins as agricultural indicators and adds to our understanding of gene changes in the early time points of stress.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
