Biomolecular characterization, identification, enzyme activities of molds and physiological changes in sweet potatoes (Ipomea batatas) stored under controlled atmospheric conditions
Microbial attacks during storage are one of the primary causes of product deterioration, and can limit the process of prolonging the shelf-life of harvested food. In this study, sweet potatoes were stored at t...

Gel mobility shift scanning of the acetate-inducible promoters fromNeurospora crassa reveals a common co-inducible DNA-binding protein
The promoter regions of four acetate-inducible genes ofNeurospora crassa, acu-3, acu-5, acu-8 andacu-9, have been sequenced. Using a scanning gel mobility shift assay particular DNA regions in each promoter have ...

Premeiotic disruption of duplicated and triplicated copies of the Neurospora crassa am (glutamate dehydrogenase) gene
Premeiotic inactivation of duplicated sequences (the RIP phenomenon of Selker et al.) was studied by tetrad analysis using ectopic copies of am + (coding for NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase) and a missense ...
