Heteroplasmy of chloroplast DNA in Medicago
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-01)
Two chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) regions exhibiting a high frequency of intra- or inter-species variation were identified in 12 accessions of the genus Medicago . Restriction maps of both regions were prepared for alfalfa, and ...
Macromolecular organization and genetic mapping of a rapidly evolving chromosome-specific tandem repeat family (B77) in cotton (Gossypium)
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-12)
Isolation and characterization of the most prominent repetitive element families in the genome of tetraploid cotton (Gossypium barbadense L; [39]) revealed a small subset of families that showed very different properties ...
Sequence of the fourth and fifth Photosystem II Type I chlorophyll a/b -binding protein genes of Arabidopsis thaliana and evidence for the presence of a full complement of the extended CAB gene family
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-08)
A second locus ( Lhb1B ) encoding Photosystem II Type I chlorophyll a/b -binding (CAB) polypeptides was identified in Arabidopsis thaliana . This locus carries two genes in an inverted orientation. The predicted sequences ...
Characterization of radish mitochondrial atpA: influence of nuclear background on transcription of atpA -associated sequences and relationship with male sterility
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1990-11)
We have previously shown that the mitochondrial gene atpA , encoding the α subunit of F 1 ATP synthase, is associated with DNA rearrangements and nuclear-specific transcript patterns in the male-sterile cytoplasm of Ogura ...
Cloning and characterization of tomato leaf senescence-related cDNAs
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-03)
Senescence-related cDNA clones designated SENU1, 4, 5 (senescence up-regulated) and SEND32, 33, 34, 35 and 36 (senescence down-regulated) isolated from a tomato leaf cDNA library [9] were characterized. Southern analysis ...
The surprising complexity of peroxisome biogenesis
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-09)
Peroxisomes are small organelles with a single boundary membrane. All of their matrix proteins are nuclear-encoded, synthesized on free ribosomes in the cytosol, and post-translationally transported into the organelle. ...
Generation of Phenylpropanoid Pathway-Derived Volatiles in Transgenic Plants: Rose Alcohol Acetyltransferase Produces Phenylethyl Acetate and Benzyl Acetate in Petunia Flowers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2006-03)
Esters are important contributors to the aroma of numerous flowers and fruits. Acetate esters such as geranyl acetate, phenylethyl acetate and benzyl acetate are generated as a result of the action of alcohol acetyltransferases ...
Genetic and physical characterization of a region of Arabidopsis chromosome 1 containing the CLAVATA1 gene
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-01)
With the advance of Arabidopsis as a model system for understanding plant genetics, development and biochemistry, a detailed description of the genome is necessary. As such, focused projects are underway to map and sequence ...
Molecular analysis of the myosin gene family in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-11)
Myosin is believed to act as the molecular motor for many actin-based motility processes in eukaryotes. It is becoming apparent that a single species may possess multiple myosin isoforms, and at least seven distinct classes ...
Characterization of two cDNA clones for mRNAs expressed during ripening of melon (Cucumis melo L.) fruits
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
In vitro translation of mRNAs and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins from melons revealed that several mRNAs increased in amount during ripening, indicating the existence of other ripening genes in addition to ...
