Vladimir da Costa is a Texas A&M University graduate student in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, department of soil and crop sciences. ìMy research focuses on the feasibility of using an anti-ethylene compound to counter the effects of stress on physiological and agronomic parameters of cotton,î da Costa said.
Occurrence of stress at key physiological stages of crop growth can profoundly impact yield and related components of cotton and other crops, he said.
ìI am pursuing both field and greenhouse studies to examine the impact of water stress and synthetic ethylene on plant ethylene production, photosynthetic machinery efficiency, carbon partitioning, plant growth and development, yield components, seed number and size, and fiber quality, among others of cotton plants.î
Da Costa is studying under the direction of Dr. Tom Cothren.

Cross section of Sorghum seed was stained with phenosafranin and
fluorescence observed using Olympus FV1000 laser scanning confocal
fluorescence microscope equipped with a 20x/0.85 oil immersion
objective. Signals from three fluorescence channels are shown:
1. excitation 405 nm, emission 425-475nm (shown in blue in the image)
2. excitation 488 nm, emission 500-530nm (green)
3. excitation 543nm, enmission 560 nm longpass (red)
The image shows tissue-type specific staining of the seed coat
(predominantly red), the protein-rich aleuron layer (red cells with
blue dots) and the large parenchyma cells (bluish) containing
starch grains (green circles).
Images were acquired in the Microscopy and Imaging Center by Dr.
Stanislav Vitha. The Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope acquisition
was supported by the Office of the Vice President for Research at
Texas A&M University."

This wheat spike is part of a research project that focuses on breeding improved heat and drought tolerance during the flowering and seed development stages of wheat. Currently grown Texas Wheat cultivars lose 50 percent of their yield potential on a yearly basis due to heat stress during flowering and early seed development. This project has identified sources of heat tolerance from Australian and Middle Eastern wheat lines that have significantly improved heat tolerance. Dirk B. Hays, assistant professor in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, focuses on the genetic and molecular regulation of cereal grain development in wheat and sorghum. His primary interests center on defining the molecular mechanisms for enviromental stress (heat and drought) induced grain abortion and impaired starch and protein reserve deposition while also breeding improved heat and drought tolerance during plant grain set and development into new cultivars adopted to the Southern Great Plains.

A research team at Texas A&M University is studying the genome of sorghum in hopes of making use of sorghum as a bioenergy crop for biofuels production. Sorghum is among a group of plants known as C4 grasses (which also include corn, Miscanthus, and sugar cane) that are some of the most productive plants on earth. They are especially well adapted to hot, dry environments, and they have developed a special type of photosynthesis that aids in collection and use of light energy for conversion of carbon dioxide into biomass.
Principal investigators in the project, titled “Development of Bioenergy Sorghum,” include Dr. William Rooney, professor in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences (sorghum breeder and geneticist), Dr. Patricia Klein, associate professor in the Department of Horticulture and the Institute for Plant Genomics and Biotechnology, and Dr. John Mullet, professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics and the Institute for Plant Genomics and Biotechnology. The project is funded by Ceres, Inc., a private company focused on applying advanced plant breeding and biotechnology to the development of bioenergy crops for biofuels production.
The research team has been characterizing the sorghum genome—specifically, exploring the genome’s size, structure, chromosomal organization, diversity, DNA sequence, gene content, regulation, and allelic variations that control the size, composition, flowering time, drought tolerance, and other traits of the sorghum plant. By determining and detailing these aspects of the sorghum genome and the plant itself, Dr. Mullet says, he and his colleagues are hoping to develop a high yielding energy sorghum that has optimal composition for biofuels production. Plants with a high biomass yield require less land to generate the biomass required for biofuels, reduce costs of production, and help mitigate greenhouse gas emission from transportation fuels.

This photo depicts a close-up of a small crystal of protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis mounted on a high intensity x-ray diffraction data collection facility at Texas A&M. The 0.2 mm crystal is being cooled by a stream of nitrogen at -173 degrees Celsius. It is being held between the high-intensity x-ray beam from the nozzle on the left side of the picture and a CCD detector. Diffracted x-rays from the crystal will be used to determine the three-dimensional structure of the TB protein which will be used to explore its function and design new drugs. James C. Sacchettini is a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, with a joint appointment in the Department of Chemistry, College of Science. He is holder of the Wolfe-Welch Chair in Sciences at Texas A&M, director of the Center for Structural Biology, director of the TB Structural Genomics Consortium, and a member of the faculty of the institute of Biosciences and Technology in Houston.
