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 ...
Electronmicroscopic studies of active genes
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
Structural aspects of ribosomal and non-ribosomal RNA transcription are compared and contrasted in a representative prokaryote (Escherichia coli) and in several diverse eukaryotes (developing amphibian oocytes, Drosophila ...
Speciation and the founder principle
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Repertoire of genetic control of gene expression in procaryotes
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Writing 18 years ago, DR. STADLER pointed out that because of limitations in the knowledge and definition of the gene, questions about undetermined properties of the gene--the nature of the unit of reproduction, the unit ...
The alloploid model in Avena
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
The catalytic role of RHO in termination during in vitro DNA-dependent RNA synthesis
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
The informational and nutritional requirements of celluar organelles
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
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 ...
Enzyme polymorphism and adaptation
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
After a brief resume of the controversy concerning the adaptive value of enzyme polymorphisms, a physiological hypo thesis is advanced that heterosis for enzymes of intermediary metabolism results from the differential ...
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 ...
Metaphase chromosome uptake by mammalian cells and cxpression of the genes transferred
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
Isolated metaphase chromosomes can be incorporated into mammalian cells. The genetic information thereby transferred, in the form of a chromosome, can be replicated and expressed in the recipient cell and its progeny, thus ...
Genome organization in higher plants
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
Higher plant chromosomes contain many families of thousands of similar nucleotide sequences as well as sequences pre sent in only one or a few copies per haploid genome. We summarise here biochemical investigations into ...
Molecular coding of information in the nervous system
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
Evidence has been accumulating in the last ten years to support the existence of a molecular code for the processing of information by the nervous system. The most direct evidence has been provided by the behavioral bioassay ...
The genetics of somatic mammalian cells
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
Somatic cell genetics is an application of the concepts and techniques of microbial genetics to somatic cells of higher organisms. Applied to mammalian systems, it has made possible clone isolation, quantitation of cell ...
Advances in somatic cell hybridization in higher plants
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
Advances in tissue culture and protoplast technology make it possible to investigate genetic manipulation of somatic plant cells. The development of a new and efficient technique has resulted in fusion of protoplasts and ...
A few remarks on the impact of biochemistry on genectics
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
Allozyme polymorphisms in plant populations
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
This discussion will be concerned with two aspects of genetic variability in populations of plants: (1) the extent of genetic variability within the local population, and the patterns in which genetic variability occurs ...
Developmental genetics and crop yield
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
On the basis of consideration of the patterns of seed differentiation in plants and recent results of developmental genetics in Drosophila, a program is outlined for the production of crops with improved seed characteristics. ...
Metabolic organization in neurospora
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
Several mechanisms of metabolite channeling have been discovered in arginine and pyrimidine biosynthesis in Neurospora. In the case of carbamyl phosphate, a pyrimidine specific "pool" of this compound is actually bound to ...
Genetic transformation as a tool in the studies of DNA replication and recombination
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
Mechanism of chromosome replication by the use of transformation and genetic recombination are reviewed in Bacillus subtilis. The order of gene replication can be determined by marker frequency analysis during exponential ...
