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 ...
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 ...
Some notes on premeiocytes in wheat : (premeiotic mitosis, premeiotic interphase, archesporial cell, pollen mother cell)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
Some characteristics of wheat premeiocytes are described as they appear in electron microscopy. These include changes in the endoplasmic reticulum of archesporial cells in premeiotic mitosis (PMM) and some nuclear and ...
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....
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 ...
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)
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 ...
Membranes and mutations in chlamydomonas reinhardi
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1973)
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 ...
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)
On the choice of material for genetical studies
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Chromosomes and genes viewed from a perspective of fifty years of research
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
