NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY-1999

这项行动为1999年美国国家科学基金会少数民族博士后研究奖学金提供资金。研究和培训计划是在植物发育生物学领域，题为“仓促基因在芽成熟中的作用”。利用基因突变体HASTY，研究拟南芥发育阶段变化的调控，该突变体加速了从幼年到成年营养期的转变。利用多种方法，我们将研究该基因在不同植物组织中的转录和翻译模式，以深入了解其功能。

This action funds an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for 1999.The research and training plan is in the area of plant developmental biology and is entitled "The role of the HASTY Gene in Shoot Maturation." The regulation of developmental phase change in Arabidopsis is being studied using a genetic mutant, HASTY, which accelerates the transformation from the juvenile to the adult vegetative phase. Using several methods, the transcription and translation patterns of HASTY in various plant tissues will be investigated in order to gain insight into its function.
