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 ...
Seven or twenty-seven against obscurity or still further observations on tittlebats
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1972)
A genetic pathway for dauer larva formation in caenorhabditis elegans : (nematode, development, neuron)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
in behavior and morphology. Dauer larva formation is a "developmental switch" in the life cycle which offers special advantages for genetic study. A partial genetic pathway for dauer larva formation has been established. Genetic characterization of additional...
Viroids : minimal genetic systems : (RNA, plant pathogens, replication, pathogenesis)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
SViroids are nucleic acid species of relatively low molecular weight and unique structure that cause several important diseases of cultivated plants. Viroids are the smallest known agents of infectious disease. Unlike viral ...
Genetics and art
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
In the view of the geneticist art is more than l'art pour l'art . In the absence of written genetic records, stone carvings, statues, reliefs and paintings reveal a great deal about the genes carried by our ancient ...
Some cytogenetic aaspects of the mechanism of recombination of the genome in diploid plant species
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Molecular and developmental cytogenetics of gene multiplicity in maize : maize, cytogenetics, ribosomal RNA, endosperm, gametes
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
Gene multiplicity alterations may be an important feature of maize developmental biology. A developmentally-phased change in DNA level has been found to be a striking feature of maize endosperm growth. I n the central ...
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...
Aphrodisiacs and anaphrodisiacs : better loving through chemistry : reproduction, behavior, pheromones, love potions, biological control
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
Reproductive behavior in animals is modulated by an assortment of chemical signals. This paper focuses on substances that are externally emitted and are effective when a male and female are near or in contact with each ...
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 ...
The genetics, evolution and expression of antibody molecules
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1973)
The vertebrate immune system shares certain general properties with other complex systems in higher organisms and, accordingly, may serve as an ideal model for studying various aspects of differentiation and evolution in ...
