Final Report: Plant Biotechnology
EPA Grant Number: EM832933Title: Plant Biotechnology
Investigators: Schumacher, Dorin
Institution: The Consortium for Plant Biotechnology Research, Inc
EPA Project Officer: Packard, Benjamin H
Project Period: January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2011
Project Amount: $1,224,500
RFA: Targeted Research Grant (2006) Recipients Lists
Research Category: Human Health , Targeted Research
Objective:
The objective of this work by the Consortium for Plant Biotechnology Research (CPBR) is to foster and facilitate promising research that leads to environmentally practical applications. CPBR will bring together the resources of member organizations to address the problems of protecting human health and safeguarding the natural environment through a program of environmentally beneficial plant-related research.
Summary/Accomplishments (Outputs/Outcomes):
- There is no clear alignment between the 3’ UTR sequences among dicistroviruses. The 3’ UTR varies greatly in length and is not well-conserved among viruses related to RhPV.
- Comparison of the 5’ end of the 3’ UTR of RhPV with that of the closely related aphid virus Aphid lethal paralysis virus (ALPV) by T-coffee and Clustal showed no sequence homology.
- The use of Mfold for secondary RNA structure predictions showed no conserved secondary structure within the 3’ UTR.
