Tpi4 Is Located Near The Centromere On The Long Arm Of Chromosome 3, Jonathan F. Wendel, J. B. Beckett Jan 1986

Tpi4 Is Located Near The Centromere On The Long Arm Of Chromosome 3, Jonathan F. Wendel, J. B. Beckett

Jonathan F. Wendel

Tpi4, one of the three genes encoding cytosolic triose phosphate isomerase isozymes, was earlier shown to be on 3L between Pgd2 (phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) and the centromere (Wendel et al., MNL 59:88). In an effort to better localize Tpi4, a series of crosses was made between Tpi4 testers and stocks carrying three B-A translocations believed to be near the centromere on 3L.

Recent work with starch gel electrophoresis of coleoptile extracts has indicated that Hexl, the structural locus for the most anodal set of hexokinase isozymes, and Tpi4, which encodes the slowest migrating set of triose phosphate isomerase bands, are located on chromosome 3.

With the recent localization of several new loci, a composite listing of these loci and chromosomal locations has been compiled and is shown in Table 1. Although locations of some of the loci are tentative, many are very precisely located from studies involving 1600 to more than 1900 F2 plants.


Linkage Relationships Between A New Locus, Hex2, And Previously Assigned Loci On Chromosome 6, Jonathan F. Wendel, Charles W. Stuber, Major M. Goodman Jan 1985

Linkage Relationships Between A New Locus, Hex2, And Previously Assigned Loci On Chromosome 6, Jonathan F. Wendel, Charles W. Stuber, Major M. Goodman

Starch gel electrophoresis of maize coleoptile extracts in our laboratory has shown two zones of staining for isozymes of hexokinase. Genetic analyses 9 indicate that the slower migrating set of bands is encoded by the structural gene Hex2 and that the enzyme is monomeric. Recent linkage analyses and work with B-A translocation stocks (generously supplied by Jack Beckett) have allowed for the placement ofHex2 on the long arm of chromosome 6. Its location relative to other markers on 6L was determined from the analysis of two very large F2 populations generated for other reasons.

To improve the degree to which the com genome is biochemically marked, we have expanded the number of enzyme systems analyzed by starch gel electrophoresis. Seven new enzyme systems encoded by a minimum of 16 loci have been added to the 23 loci used for previous work in our laboratory. A wide range of domestic and exotic maize has been screened for variation at these new loci and genetic analysis of variant electromorphs is well under way. Crosses with B-A translocation stocks (kindly provided by Jack Beckett), previously mapped allozyme loci, and in a few cases morphological markers, are being …


Removal Of Raw Peanut Flavor And Odor In Peanut Flour Processed By Direct Solvent Extraction1, Lawrence A. Johnson, J. T. Farnsworth, R. J. Garland, E. W. Lusas Jan 1979

Removal Of Raw Peanut Flavor And Odor In Peanut Flour Processed By Direct Solvent Extraction1, Lawrence A. Johnson, J. T. Farnsworth, R. J. Garland, E. W. Lusas

Lawrence A. Johnson

Peanut slices can be directly extracted with hexane yielding more soluble protein and better color than pre-press solvent extraction; however, flavor and odor are characterized as raw and “green beany”. The utilization of secondary extraction with hexane: ethanol azeotrope, hexane: methanol azeotrope and absolute ethanol subsequent to hexane extraction significantly improved flavor and odor characteristics of peanut flour. Hexane: propanol azeotrope did not significantly improve sensory evaluations. Hexane: ethanol azeotrope did not reduce soluble protein, yielding an NSI value of 95%. Hexane: methanol azeotrope and absolute ethanol slightly reduced NSI to 88% and 92% respectively. Color of peanut flour was …
