Investigating the function of LRB-interacting proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana

Color poster with text, images, and graphs.The Gingerich lab has found that Arabidopsis thaliana contains two proteins, LRB1 and LRB2 which also act in red light signaling. Arabidopsis plants with both of these genes disrupted are overly sensitive to red light (and therefore shade tolerant). In attempt to better understand LRB1 and LRB2's function, this study conducted a type of protein-protein interaction screen known as a yeast two-hybrid screen with these two proteins.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs; National Science Foundation-Research in Undergraduate Institution (RUI
