NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY-1999

这项行动资助了美国国家科学基金会1999年的少数民族博士后研究奖学金。该研究和培训计划是在植物发育生物学领域，名为“草率基因在新梢成熟中的作用”。拟南芥发育阶段变化的调控正在利用基因突变体HASTY进行研究，该突变体加速了从幼体到成体营养阶段的转变。为了深入了解HASTY基因的功能，我们将利用多种方法研究HASTY基因在不同植物组织中的转录和翻译模式。

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.
