Mutagenic mechanisms associated with perturbations of DNA precursor biosynthesis in phage T4

Creator:

Ji, Jiuping

Abstract:

A crucial factor in determining the accuracy of DNA replication is maintenance of a balanced supply of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) at replication forks. Perturbation of dNTP biosynthesis can induce dNTP pool imbalance with deleterious genetic consequences, including increased mutagenesis, recombination, chromosomal abnormalities and cell death. Using the T4 bacteriophage system,...

An analysis of the response to selection for high and low rate of gain in the mouse, Mus musculus

Creator:

Burrill, Melinda Jane

Abstract:

An experiment was conducted to examine the responses to selection for high and low rate of gain in the mouse under a system whereby inbreeding was maximized. Rate of gain was measured by an index designed to include gains in both the pre- and postweaning periods with the gains in...

The expression of embryo maturation genes in wheat and the role of abscisic acid

Creator:

Berge-Chandler, Sonja Kay

Abstract:

A set of genes which show developmental and tissue specificity are expressed late in embryo maturation during grain formation in wheat (Triticum aestivum). Two members of this maturation gene set (MGS) are Em and triticin, a 7S globulin. Results presented here show that during embryogenesis, the expression of Em mRNA...
