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 ...
From crossing-over to developmental genetics
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
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 ...
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)
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Extension of BrdU-dye analysis of DNA replication and sister chromatid exchange formation to in vivo systems : (in vivo, BrdU-dye, DNA replication, sister chromatid exchange)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
BrdU-dye methodology was initially developed in tissue culture. Wide application of the technique for cytogenetic studies of DNA structure, replication and repair followed. Although the need for parallel in vivo studies ...
Meiotic aspects of chromosome organization : (meiosis, pachytene DNA)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
Homologous chromosome pairing regulates the expression of a set of metabolic activities that is unique to the zygotene-pachytene interval , These activities probably relate to crossing-over and they involve specific proteins ...
Historical aspects and significance of the discovery of wild wheats : (origin of wheat, evolution, gene pools)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
Genetics of nitrogen fixation : (nitrogenase, molybdenum, ammonium excretion, legumes)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
Recent advances in understanding the genetics of nitrogen fixation have provided ideas for novel application of nitrogenase and nitrogen-fixing organisms. Mutant strains have been useful for identifying the active site of ...
A gene-enzyme relationship in neurospora : (neurospora, complementation, amino acid substitutions, chain termination, suppression, osmotic repair)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
The results of work on amino acid replacements in NADP-specific glutamatede hydrogenase of Neurospora crassa, due to mutation in the am gene, are reviewed: amino acid residues which are important in coenzyme binding and ...
Monocot and dicot genes encoding the small subunit ofribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase : structural analysis and gene expression
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
Genetics and evolution of the chloroplast : (cytoplasmic inheritance, nucleus-cytoplasm interaction, plastome recombination, plastome mutator, oenothera)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
As a photosynthetic organelle and as the site of several important biosynthetic pathways, the chloroplast is essential to the survival of the plant cell. In evolutionary terms, the chloroplast genetic material can be ...
Measures of fitness in Drosophila : (population genetics, Drosophila, fitness, natural selection)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
Ten proposed experimental measures of fitness in Drosophila have been estimated in 8 to 38 strains of D. melanogaster with 1 to 6 replications in order to assess the degree of association among the measures. One measure ...
Chromosome manipulation and its exploitation in the genetics and breeding of wheat
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
Chromosome manipulation in bread wheat uses aneuploid methods to transfer whole chromosomes or segments of chromosomes from one variety into another, or from related species into wheat. These methods have been applied ...
