BRC-BIO Molecular Genetic Analysis and Evolution of Biomolecular Condensates in land plant — NSF Award to Colorado State Universit

The research plan of this project is to study the formation and function of structures called Cajal Bodies (CBs) within the nucleus of plant cells. These structures bind RNA inside the nucleus and appear to respond to stressful conditions such as heat or dehydration. The research will examine how CBs change during thes

AbstractThe research plan of this project is to study the formation and function of structures called Cajal Bodies (CBs) within the nucleus of plant cells. These structures bind RNA inside the nucleus and appear to respond to stressful conditions such as heat or dehydration. The research will examine how CBs change during these stressful conditions. The educational plan of this project will allow high school and undergraduate students to pursue research projects towards understanding basic aspects of fu
