Open AccessA survey of plant and algal genomes and transcriptomes reveals new insights into the evolution and function of the cellulose synthase superfamily
Enzymes of the cellulose synthase (CesA) family and CesA-like (Csl) families are responsible for the synthesis of celluloses and hemicelluloses, and thus are of great interest to bioenergy research. We studied...

Differentiation of the two rice subspecies indica and japonica: a Gene Ontology perspective
Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) is comprised of two subspecies: japonica and indica. Polymorphism levels between putative homologues were determined for genes whose japonica homologue had been classified into func...

Molecular evolution of the rice miR395 gene family
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 20-22 nucleotide non-coding RNAs that play important roles in plant and animal development. They are usually processed from larger precursors that can form stem-loop structures. Among 20...

Phosphate stress response in hydroponically grown maize
The long-term response of hydroponically grown maize plants to variations in the phosphate concentration in the growth medium was studied. There was a 5-week lag period before any differences between experimen...

An unusually compact retrotransposon in maize
Unlike any other known plant transposon, the maize transposable element Bs1 is similar to the retrotransposons previously described in yeast and Drosophila. Bs1 is bounded by 302 bp identical long terminal repeat...

Naturally occurring quantitative variants of acid phosphatase-1 in Drosophila melanogaster
We have examined 111 wild Drosophila melanogaster lines for cis-acting quantitative variants of the Acph-1 gene, which codes for acid phosphatase-1 (ACPH). Three variants with obvious, reproducible phenotypes wer...

Mutations of the Adh1 gene in maize following infection with barley stripe mosaic virus
Mutations at the Adh1 locus in maize were selected from plants infected with barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV). Pollen from the infected inbred line 1s2p, which is homozygous for Adh1-S (abbreviated S), Adh2-P, c

Differential Regulation of the Adh1 Gene in Maize: Facts and Theories
All genes are differentially regulated in the sense that each gene is expressed at different levels in different tissues and times during development and senescence. A gene that was expressed to the same exten...
