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 ...
Organization of a gene in drosophila : a progress report : Drosophila melanogaster, rosy Zocus, XDH, genetic fine structure, peptide coding region, cis-acting control element
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1978)
The present report summarizes our progress in the genetic dissection of an elementary genetic unit in a higher organism. The rosy locus (ry:3-52.0) in Drosophila melanogaster codes for xanthine dehydrogenase, and is ...
Non-Darwinian evolution and the bread of life : genetic drift, repetitive DNA, philosophy of science
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1978)
This paper explores what would happen to a chromosomal segment that evolves randomly, without the surveillance of natural selection. In these circumstances a single segment present in some individual organism at any given ...
The organization of the QA gene cluster in neurospora crassa and its expression in escherichia coli : eucaryotic gene regulation, quinic acid catabolic enzymes, recombinant DNA, pBR322 plasmid
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1978)
PLEASE SEE SUMMARY pg 49
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 ...
From crossing-over to developmental genetics
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Biology and biochemistry : thesis and antithesis
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
A portrait of Lewis John Stadler 1896-1954
(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)
Bacteriophage T4 and our present concept of the gene
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Phase variation in salmonella : analysis of the controlling element of H2 gene expression : gene expression, recombinational control, phase variation, DNA inversion
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1978)
In the phase variation system of Salmonella, the alternative expression of Hl and H2 flagella is controlled by a region of DNA adjacent to the H2 structural gene known as the Phase Determinant. The Phase Determinant regulates ...
On the choice of material for genetical studies
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Genetic analysis of photosynthesis
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
It is now possible to select mutations of nuclear genes controlling various steps of the light reaction of photosynthesis in higher plants. Forty-nine such mutants, which were not previously available for the study of ...
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 ...
