Repertoire of genetic control of gene expression in procaryotes
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Writing 18 years ago, DR. STADLER pointed out that because of limitations in the knowledge and definition of the gene, questions about undetermined properties of the gene--the nature of the unit of reproduction, the unit ...
The informational and nutritional requirements of celluar organelles
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Speciation and the founder principle
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
Allozyme polymorphisms in plant populations
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
This discussion will be concerned with two aspects of genetic variability in populations of plants: (1) the extent of genetic variability within the local population, and the patterns in which genetic variability occurs ...
The alloploid model in Avena
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
The catalytic role of RHO in termination during in vitro DNA-dependent RNA synthesis
(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 ...
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 ...
Transposable elements and genetic instabilities in crop plants : (controlling elements, recurrent mutations, hybrid dysgenesis, somatic mutations, tissue culture)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
Transposable elements have long been associated with certain unstable loci in maize and have been intensively studied by McClintock and others. It is known that a transposable element can control the expression of the ...
Heterogeneity and expression of the zein storage protein gene family of maize : (zein, maize, multiple gene families, in vitro processing, protein synthesis, cloning, low molecular weight PAGE)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
The storage protein zein is synthesized by polysomes on the endoplasmic reticulum in certain cells of the maize seed. As zein accumulates within the membrane lumen the cisternae are transformed into vesiculate protein ...
Tailoring the agrobacterium Ti plasmid as a vector for plant genetic engineering : (site specific insertions, chimeric gene construction, regeneration of plants containing T- DNA)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
Agrobacterium tumefaciens and its tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmidi constitute a promising vector system for the introduction of desirable genes into higher plant cells. This bacterialpathogen has an unusually wide host range, ...
The structure and function of yeast centromeres : (saccharomyces cerevisiae, yeast transformation, centromere cloning, functional minichromosomes , recombinant DNA, nucleotide sequencing )
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
Segments of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA have been isolated that contain centromeric sequences (CEN3 and CEN11) from chromosomes III and XI. When present on a plasmid vector capable of replication in yeast (pLC544 or Yrp7), ...
Arrangement and rearrangement of the bacterial chromosome : (chromosome rearrangements, transposable elements)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
Several lines of evidence suggest that the arrangement of genes in the bacterial chromosome may have selective importance. To investigate the significance of chromosomal gene order and the effect of position on gene ...
Somatic cell genetic analysis of the interferon system : (interferon genetics, interferon receptors , cell hybrids )
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
The interferon system is amenable to somatic cell genetic analysis since the genes governing the synthesis of interferon and the cellular responses to interferon can be expressed in tissue culture cells. Limited species ...
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 ...
Molecular coding of information in the nervous system
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
Evidence has been accumulating in the last ten years to support the existence of a molecular code for the processing of information by the nervous system. The most direct evidence has been provided by the behavioral bioassay ...
