Lepidopteran preference test of Glossy mutants and Glossy15 allels for maize resistance [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
thier feeding habits on different alleles of the Glossy15 gene. In both studies we compared feeding preferences on three inbreds ( Mp705, Oh28, and Va35 ) to the glossy mutants. Mp705 has resistance to whorl stage Lepidopteran feeding while Oh28...
Binding properties of X29 protein and RNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
The Peculis Lab previously demonstrated that X29 protein binds U8 snoRNA with high affinity and specificity in Xenopus Laevis [1]. U8 snoRNA is a C/D box RNP required for pre-rRNA maturation of 5.8s and 28s rRNA in the nucleolus. X29 is a Nudix...
