Natural selection and adaptive resemblances
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
The great majority of animal species exhibit some type of adaptive resemblance. Whether this takes the direction of cryptic resemblance of some type of mimicry is unpredictable. The evidence indicates that all adaptive ...
Nuclear genes and chloroplast modifications in maize : (Zea mays, iojap , cytoplasmic inheritance, nucleus-cytoplasm interaction, sorting-out, morphological modifications)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
The recessive nuclear genes (ij) and chloroplast mutator (cm) in maize have been studied as examples of genes whose roles affect the continuity of the plastid and its genetic machinery. The phenotypic expression of cm is ...
The alloploid model in Avena
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
On the organization of DNA in isolated bacterial chromosomes : (bacterial DNA, folded chromosomes, EM, RNA)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
We review physical studies and electron microscopy of membrane-free folded chromosomes from E. coli [Kavenoff and Bowen, Chromosoma 59, 89 (1977)], and we consider the apparent relation between the organization of the DNA ...
Non-Darwinian evolution and the bread of life : genetic drift, repetitive DNA, philosophy of science
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1978)
This paper explores what would happen to a chromosomal segment that evolves randomly, without the surveillance of natural selection. In these circumstances a single segment present in some individual organism at any given ...
DNA uptake by bacteria and eucaryotic cells
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1973)
Genetic unity and biochemical diversity in genetic recombination mechanisms
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1973)
Obstacles to the unification of recombination mechanisms are: the multiplicity of ways of systematizirig and describing the telltale aberrant or exceptional recombination events, and the substantially different ways of ...
Speciation and the founder principle
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Gene conversion in unselected tetrads from multipoint crosses
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Some cytogenetic aaspects of the mechanism of recombination of the genome in diploid plant species
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
The mechanism and control of Tn5 transposition
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
Analyses of transposition from pBR322
Eukaryotic genes in prokaryotic cells
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
"High yields of specific genes or their products can be obtained by cloning the genes (from any organism) as part of arokaryotic plasmid or virus. Furthermore the methods of microbial genetics are available for use in ...
Flower differentiation in arabidopsis
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
There is a consensus among developmental geneticists that few generalizations are possible at the present status of the field, and even the boundaries are difficult to define. Yet in few special cases, consistent facts have been accumulated which...
Neurospora as an object for cytogenetic research : chromosome rearrangements, crossing over, duplications, meiosis, meiotic drive, recombination
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
Several lines of research have been stimulated because the direct results of Mendelian segregation are apparent in Neurospora asci. Spore killer genes provide an example. When across is heterozygous for Spore killer, four ...
The informational and nutritional requirements of celluar organelles
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Analysis of gene number and development in polygenic systems : (polygenes, variation, selection, pattern)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
The assumption that quantitative variation is produced by a large number of genes is re-examined. In fact, one finds that often only a small number of loci are involved. This, therefore, opens to careful study the developmental ...
Pattern formation in the drosophila embryo : (Developmental genetics, combinatorial code, compartments)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
Three plausible hypotheses about developmental commitments in the Drosophila embryo propose: 1) A micromosaic of localized determinants in the egg trigger somatic commitments. 2) Monotonic anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral ...
