Γ-Zeins Are Essential For Endosperm Modification In Quality Protein Maize, Yongrui Wu, David R. Holding, Joachim Messing
Center for Plant Science Innovation: Faculty and Staff Publications
Essential amino acids like lysine and tryptophan are deficient in corn meal because of the abundance of zein storage proteins that lack these amino acids. A naturalmutant, opaque 2 (o2) causes reduction of zeins,anincreaseofnonzeinproteins,andas a consequence, adoubling of lysine levels.However, o2’s soft inferior kernels precluded its commercial use. Breeders subsequently overcame kernel softness, selectingseveral quantitative loci (QTLs), called o2modifiers,without losing the high-lysine trait. These maize lines are known as “quality protein maize” (QPM). One of the QTLs is linked to the 27-kDa γ-zein locus on chromosome 7S. Moreover, QPM lines have 2- to 3-fold higher levels of the 27-kDa γ-zein, …

Horizontal Acquisition Of Multiple Mitochondrial Genes From A Parasitic Plant Followed By Gene Conversion With Host Mitochondrial Genes, Jeffrey P. Mower, Saša Stefanović, Weilong Hao, Julie S. Gummow, Kanika Jain, Dana Ahmed, Jeffrey D. Palmer

Background: Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is relatively common in plant mitochondrial genomes but the mechanisms, extent and consequences of transfer remain largely unknown. Previous results indicate that parasitic plants are often involved as either transfer donors or recipients, suggesting that direct contact between parasite and host facilitates genetic transfer among plants.
Results: In order to uncover the mechanistic details of plant-to-plant HGT, the extent and evolutionary fate of transfer was investigated between two groups: the parasitic genus Cuscuta and a small clade of Plantago species. A broad polymerase chain reaction (PCR) survey of mitochondrial genes revealed that at …

Comparative Leaf Decomposition Rates Including A Non-Native Species In An Urban Ozark Stream,

Comparative Leaf Decomposition Rates Including A Non-Native Species In An Urban Ozark Stream, Sarah E. Lewis, Arthur V. Brown
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Leaf decomposition of three species of native Ozark vegetation was compared to that of one nonnative invasive species. Leaves were placed in an urban gravel-bed stream for 23 days. Changes in mass and condition of the leaves were assessed along with stream temperature, flow, width, depth and discharge. Species native to Eastern North American forests were sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), dogwood (Cornus florida), and redbud (Cercis canadensis). The nonnative species, Japanese (Amur) honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) comprised approximately 80% of the understory vegetation within the riparian zone of the study reach. After 23 days, Sycamore lost 24.6% mass, dogwood lost 30%, redbud …
