Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid evolution of RNA genomes
John J. Holland,Katherine R. Spindler,Katherine R. Spindler,Frank M. Horodyski,Elizabeth A. Grabau,Stuart T. Nichol,Scott VandePol +6 more
TL;DR: RNA viruses show high mutation frequencies partly because of a lack of the proofreading enzymes that assure fidelity of DNA replication, and high rates of replication reflected in rates of RNA genome evolution which can be more than a millionfold greater than the rates of the DNA chromosome evolution of their hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responses of Antioxidants to Paraquat in Pea Leaves (Relationships to Resistance)
TL;DR: Developmentally controlled mechanisms determining basal antioxidant enzyme activities, and not inductive responses, appear to be critical factors mediating short-term oxidative stress resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A modified colorimetric method for phytic acid analysis in soybean
Y. Gao,Chao Shang,M. A. Saghai Maroof,R. M. Biyashev,Elizabeth A. Grabau,Prachuab Kwanyuen,Joseph W. Burton,Glenn R. Buss +7 more
TL;DR: Compared with HPLC, AEC, and 31 P NMR, this modified colorimetric method is simpler and less expensive for assaying a large number of samples, allowing its effective application in breeding and genetic studies of low phytic acid soybean.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Phytase with Sequence Similarity to Purple Acid Phosphatases Is Expressed in Cotyledons of Germinating Soybean Seedlings
TL;DR: It is surprising that the soybean phytase was unrelated to previously characterized microbial or maize phytases, which were classified as histidine acid phosphatases, and exhibited a high degree of similarity to purple acid phosph atases, a class of metallophosphoesterases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of multiple genome mutations during long-term persistent infection by vesicular stomatitis virus
TL;DR: The genomes of both infectious VSV and its Dl particles undergo continuous evolutionary change during years of persistence, and it appears that the sequestered intracellular environment of persistently infected cells favors rapid and continuous virus evolution.
