Sentence examples for mutants of maize from inspiring English sources

Loss-of-function mutants of maize DLF1 (dlf1) have a late flowering phenotype with some abnormal tassel branches.

Moreover, Brk1 was first identified in a genetic screen for morphogenetic mutants of maize [18].

In CAD deficient, bm1 mutants of maize differences in cell wall crosslinking, and a reduction in the amount of esterified p-coumarate were observed [27].

We recently reported changes in flowering dynamics in some of the brown midrib mutants of maize (Zea mays L). [ 12].

To determine whether lignin content affects virulence of U. maydis, we infected single and double brown midrib (bm) mutants of maize with SG200.

McCarty [ 8] reviewed the viviparous mutants of maize and their phenotypic responses to abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GAs) during embryo development and maturation.

Starch content is significantly decreased in the endosperm in the shrunken-2 (sh2) mutant of maize, which shows low activity of AG Pase thus indicating the importance of AGPase in starch synthesis (Bhave et al. 1990; Singletary et al. 1997).

Instead, the lignin contains more 5-hydroxyguaiacyl residues and therefore resembles the lignin composition of the bm3 mutant of maize [ 26, 27].

In cereals, there are three isoforms of SBE: SBEIa, SBEIIa and SBEIIb, and in the amylose extender mutant of maize that lacks SBEIIb, amylopectin had fewer branches and a higher proportion of longer chains [ 7] that are essentially amylose.

The converse finding, that an increased Tp results from a reduction in the frequency of short branches due to knockdown of SBEII genes in rice and barley [ 9, 10] or the amylose extender (knockout of SBEIIb) mutant of maize [ 7], confirms the influence of starch branching frequency on thermal properties.

For example, starch from the waxy mutant of maize (Zea mays L). (deficient in GBSS and virtually amylose-free) had a lower gelatinisation temperature, whereas that from wheat (Triticum aestivum L). had an unaltered gelatinisation temperature but altered pasting properties [ 5].
