    Haploid plants carrying a sodium azide-induced mutation (fdr1) produce fertile pollen grains due to first division restitution (FDR) in maize (Zea mays L.)

    We induced a fdr1 mutation in maize which makes haploid plants male fertile due to first division restitution; the optimum sodium azide treatment on maize ke...

    The effect of calnexin deletion on the expression level of binding protein (BiP) under heat stress conditions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    In order to investigate the effect of calnexin deletion on the induction of the main ER molecular chaperone BiP, we cultured the wild-type and calnexin-disrupted Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains under normal and ...

    The effect of calnexin deletion on the expression level of PDI in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under heat stress conditions

    We cultured calnexin-disrupted and wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains under conditions of heat stress. The growth rate of the calnexin-disrupted yeast was almost the same as that of the wild-type yeast un...

    Genetic variation for the response to ploidy change in Zea mays L.

    Polyploidization is an important process in the evolutionary history of most eukaryotic species. It oftentimes causes large-scale genomic reorganizations and is accompanied by a wide variety of phenotypic alte...

    A test for ectopic exchange catalyzed by Cre recombinase in maize

    A maize line expressing Cre recombinase as well as the recipient line without the transgene were assayed for evidence of ectopic recombination within the maize genome. Such a test is valuable for understanding...

    Isolation of methyl ferulate from rice bran oil

    An unknown ferulate in rice bran oil was isolated by column chromatography. The ferulate was identified as methyl ferulate by TLC, GLC, UV, IR, NMR and mass spectrometry.
