Sentence examples for maize mutants with from inspiring English sources

We concluded that maize mutants with low-P tolerance could be obtained efficiently by cellular engineering and the low-P tolerance of maize inbred lines 99038 appeared to be a complicated metabolism process controlled by major genes.

For other maize mutants with altered lignin content similar effect occurred, pectic polysaccharides were accumulated [ 72].

Maize mutants with defects in abaxial/adaxial patterning of leaves have been isolated previously (Timmermans et al. 1998; Juarez et al. 2004; Candela et al. 2008).

We have recently initiated transcriptional profiling of maize mutants with defects in phytochrome signalling [ 79], Calvin cycle function [ 22] and tetrapyrrole biosynthesis [ 80, 81] to assess the effect of disrupting cellular conditions on cell-specific patterns of gene expression.

High-lysine maize mutants with an opaque phenotype were identified based on the reduction of lysine-free α-zein proteins and a compensatory increase of non-zein proteins [ 4].

Advances and areas of uncertainty are discussed on the maize mutants associated with the synthesis of starch in endosperms that have been useful in elucidating the process.

Nevertheless, relatively few maize mutants have been characterized with defects specific to M and BS cells.

Early studies with maize mutants such as M-11 [ 65], v16 [ 66] and hcf7 [ 67], showed that these mutants not only display chlorosis but also have more severe defects in chloroplast ribosome assembly and/or translation while exposed to low temperature.

Three of these mutants have been examined in more detail, and molecular and genetic assays demonstrated that these mutants have both distinct and overlapping phenotypes with previously identified maize mutants that relieve epigenetic transcriptional silencing.

Based on its orthology with Arabidopsis RDR2 and phenotypes for maize mutants, the current model for MOP1 activity is that it functions in a small RNA mediated pathway to direct DNA methylation and heterochromatin formation at transcriptionally silenced loci.

Moreover, in maize mutants deficient for GS1-3 and/or GS1-4 a higher leaf content of Asn and Ala compared with than of the wild-type was reported, suggesting compensatory involvement in NH4+ (re)assimilation [ 44].
