The mitochondrial genome of higher plants : mtiochondrial DNA, cytoplasmic male sterility, S cytoplasm
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1978)
Mitochondrial (mt) DNAs of higher plants have molecular weights ranging from 70-165 x 10 [superscript 6], which is by far the largest found in nature. Their native configuration is probably a covalently closed circular molecule. In some species...
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 ...
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 ...
DNA packaging in isolated bacterial nucleoids : (chromosomes, DNA tertiary structure, nucleoids, DNA folding, DNA supercoiling, nascent RNA, membrane-DNA)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
Properties of nucleoids isolated from Escherichia coli are described. Experiments which investigate the organization of DNA folding and supercoiling in the isolated chromosome are reviewed, and evidence is discussed ...
Dinoflagellate genetics and DNA characterization : (dinoflagellates, evolution, nucleus, DNA, genetics, mesocaryota)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
Nuclear features of dinoflagellates that were used origin ally to support the Mesocaryota concept are reviewed. Although dinoflagellates possess some procaryotic nuclear features, the remainder of the cell is obviously ...
Ti plasmids of agrobacterium : potentials for genetic engineering : plasmids, genetic engineering, crown gall, tumors
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
Crown gall disease of dicotylendenous plants, induced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, provides a unique system for the study of pathogen-host interplay at the molecular level. By means of large Ti plasmids borne by virulent ...
Genetic Regulation of fermentation organisms : fermentation, regulation, antibiotics
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
An effective fermentation organism is a wasteful creature that overproduces and excretes its metabolic intermediates and end products. Cultures obtained from screening programs usually possess subnormal regulatory controls. ...
Characteristics of cms-S reveversion to male fertility in maize : (cytoplasmic male sterility, male fertility restoration S-type cytoplasm, mitochondrial DNA)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
The association of cytoplasmic reversion of cms-S male-sterile strains to male fertility with disappearance of the S1 and S2 mtDNA plasmids as discrete molecules has been established for all 23 cytoplasmic revertant strains ...
