DESCRIPTION:David Domozych\nProfessor\, Skidmore College\n\nResearch Intere
 sts: David Domozych is a plant cell biologist who studies the evolution of
  cell walls and their biosynthesis in plants. He is interested in the bioc
 hemistry and cell biology of cell wall components (esp. pectins) in the Ch
 arophycean Green Algae (CGA)\, the modern group of green algae whose ances
 tors are the basal stock from which land plants evolved. Dr. Domozych's pr
 imary research tools include light\, confocal laser scanning and electron 
 microscopy\, various biochemical techniques and immunocytochemistry. His m
 ain subject of study is a new model organism\, Penium margaritaceum\, a un
 icellular desmid with cell polymers similar to those of higher plants. Cur
 rently\, his research work is involved with answering questions like:\n\nW
 hat is the distribution of cell wall polymers in Charophycean Green Algae 
 and how did particular polymers like pectins evolve?\n\nHow do different w
 all polymers function in cell development? What are the interactions of wa
 ll polymers during cell expansion and division?\n\nHow are various wall po
 lymers processed in the plant Golgi Apparatus\, packaged in specific vesic
 le types and released to cytoplasmic streaming mechanism?\n\nHow do partic
 ular vesicles get to specific sites on the surface for selected release?\n
 \nWhat are the signal transduction moleculaes that control cell wall secre
 tory mechanisms?\n\nDr. Domozych's work has recently been sponsored by gra
 nts from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Molecular and Cell Biolog
 y Program\, NSF Intergrated Organismal Systems and NSF Major Instrumentati
 on Programs. Many students participate in his research program both during
  the academic year and summer.
