Stadler Genetics Symposia, volume 12, 1980 : Preliminaries and back matter
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980) -
Nitrogen fixation by photosynthetic bacteria : (Rhodospirilum rubrum, Rhodopseudomonas capsulata, glutamine ,nitrogenase)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)Biological nitrogen fixation is not only essential for world nitrogen balance but it is also an alternative to expensive commercial fertilizer for crop production. To achieve the maximum utilization of this natural process, ... -
Evolution of the bacterial genome : (bacterial DNA evolution, vertical vs. horizontal evolution)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)Not all parts of bacterial genomes have evolved at the same rate. Among related genomes, some gene segments are highly conserved, some are less conserved and some are highly variable. We have studied the relatedness of ... -
The topology of homologous pairing : (genetic recombination, RecA protein, strand crossover, joint molecules, heteroduplex joints, branch migration)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)The RecA protein, which is essential for genetic recombination of E. coli , promotes homologous pairing in vitro. Studies of purified RecA protein have shown that it promotes the homologous pairing of a number of topological ... -
Medical genetics : impact and strategy : (genetic disease, birth defects, prenatal diagnosis)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)Genetic diseases and birth defects have a major impact on all levels of health care because of their enormous consequences for the individual and family and because of the high frequency of occurrence. That over 3000 ... -
Molecular evolution in papova viruses and their host species, and in bacteriophages : (evolution, nucleotide substitution, papova viruses)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)Comparing homologous genes of three papova viral genomes, we attempt to show the very close relative phylogeny among the viral species and their host species, and therefore the viral species seem to have evolved with their ... -
Neurogenetics of courtship in drosophila : (courtship and mating, behavioral mutants, Drosophila gynandromorphs, visual and olfactory defects, circadian rhythms, learning and memory, neurotransmitter mutants)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)Courtship behavior in Drosophila is programmed by the action of genes that control the development and function of the nervous system. Several genes have been identified that appear to be involved in reproduction, because ... -
The integration of human DNA and expression tumor virus genes : (cell transformation, transcription, integration, human cancer)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)DNA tumor viruses offer excellent model systems to study the molecular biology of eucaryotic cells and to establish the molecular basis for cell transformation. Our laboratory has focused on the human adenovirus type 2 ... -
Evolution of DNA sequence : mechanisms and models as seen in small phages : (small isometric phages, evolution of their nucleotide sequence, duplication, deletion, overlapping genes, secondary structure)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)Extensive nucleotide sequence data is new known for six small isometric phages, ([o with diagonal slash]Xl 74, G4, St-1, Sl3, [lowercase alpha]3 and [phi]K).Comparison of these sequences allows us to observe the role of ... -
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 ...
