Bryan Gibbon.jpg (20079 bytes) Bryan C. Gibbon received a B.S. degree from the University of Utah; in 1990. There, in the laboratory of Darryl Kropf, he investigated the role of intracellular pH (Dev. Biol. 157:259-268) and cytosolic pH gradients (Science 263:1419-1421; Eur. J Cell Biol. 68:297-305) during polarization and growth of Pelvetia zygotes. In 1994 Bryan began graduate studies with Chris Staiger at Purdue University. He studied the interaction of the small actin-binding protein profilin with maize pollen actin (Biochem. J. 327:909-915; Plant Cell 10:981-994) and the effects of the actin-depolymerizing drug Latrunculin B on growth and streaming of maize pollen tubes (Plant Cell 11:2349-2364 ). Bryan joined the Larkins laboratory in January 2000. He is working to identify proteins that are involved in the transport of zein mRNA to the endoplasmic reticulum.
