The alloploid model in Avena
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Evolutionary importance of gene regulation
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
To assess the relative importance of regulatory mutations and structural gene mutations in adaptive evolution at the organismal level, two kinds of evidence were considered: 1) Evidence concerning the mechanism by which ...
Chromosome engineering in wheat
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1972)
Three methods have been developed for the transfer of genetic material to wheat chromosomes from alien chromosomes: (i) Use of ionizing radiation to translocate an alien segment. (ii) Induction of homoeologous pairing, ...
A portrait of E.G. Anderson 1891-1973
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1973)
The genetics of corn breeding
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1972)
Hybrid corn has now replaced open-pollinated varieties almost completely. This change-over has been accompanied by a nearly 3-fold increase in U.S. average yields. The genetic basis for corn breeding rests upon classical ...
Genetical and chromosomal relationships among the wheats and their relatives : aneuploid genetics, isozymes, gene and chromosome evolution, triticum, wheat
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
Results obtained from aneuploid genetic analyses of isozyme variation in hexaploid wheat have led to the construction of reasonable models for the genetic control and subunit structure of a large number of enzymes. Evidence ...
Genetics of nitrogen fixation : (nitrogenase, molybdenum, ammonium excretion, legumes)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
mutant phenotype causes the plant to fix more nitrogen than the wild type. Such strains might have potential use in agriculture....
Fossils, apes, man, and culture : intelligence, water, menopause
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
As causal agents for the separation of the pongid and hominid lines of evolution intelligence, water and the menopause are discussed. The implications of these for the development of human culture and society are investigated.
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. ...
Historical aspects and significance of the discovery of wild wheats : (origin of wheat, evolution, gene pools)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
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 ...
On the choice of material for genetical studies
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
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 ...
A few remarks on the impact of biochemistry on genectics
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
Membranes and mutations in chlamydomonas reinhardi
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1973)
Regulation of alcohol dehydrogenase genes in maize
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
Alcohol dehydrogenase mutants can be selectively isolated in maize with great efficiency. Structural gene and regulatory mutants have been characterized biochemically, immunologically and genetically. The alcohol dehydrogenase ...
Chromosomes and genes viewed from a perspective of fifty years of research
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
A portrait of Lewis John Stadler 1896-1954
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Cytoplasmic genes - our Precambrian legacy
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
The genetic control of mutation in drosophila : spontaneous mutation, mutator genes, mitotic recombination
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1978)
Mitotic recombination (MR) chromosomes are geographically widespread and occur in high frequency in wild Drosophila melanogaster populations. In both sexes, MR chromosomes increase the frequency of mitotic recombination ...
