Journal ArticleDOI
The amylose content in rice endosperm is related to the post-transcriptional regulation of the waxy gene.
Zong‐Yang ‐Y Wang,Fei‐Qin ‐Q Zheng,Ge‐Zhi ‐Z Shen,Ji-Ping Gao,D. Peter Snustad,Mingang Li,Jing‐Liu ‐L Zhang,Meng‐Min ‐M Hong +7 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the amylose content of rice endosperm is regulated at the level of Wx transcript processing, and, more specifically, at the stage of intron I excision from the Wx pre-mRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila cytoplasmic dynein, a microtubule motor that is asymmetrically localized in the oocyte.
TL;DR: The temporal and spatial pattern of dynein accumulation in the oocytes is remarkably similar to that of several maternal effect gene products that are essential for oocyte differentiation and axis specification, lending support to recent models suggesting that microtubule motors participate in the transport of these morphogens from the nurse cell cytoplasm to the oocyte.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytoplasmic Dynein Function Is Essential in Drosophila melanogaster
Janice Gepner,Mingang Li,Susan Ludmann,Cynthia Kortas,Kristin L.M. Boylan,Stanley J.P. Iyadurai,Maura McGrail,Thomas S. Hays +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cytoplasmic dynein function is required for cell viability in several Drosophila tissues and multiple mutant phenotypes including male and/or female sterility, bristle defects, and defects in eye development are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential expression of six glutamine synthetase genes in Zea mays
Mingang Li,Richard Villemur,Patrick J. Hussey,Carolyn D. Silflow,J. Stephen Gantt,D. Peter Snustad +5 more
TL;DR: Noncoding 3′ gene-specific probes were constructed from all six GS cDNA clones and used to examine transcript levels in selected organs by RNA gel blot hybridization experiments, finding the transcript of the single putative chloroplastic GS2 gene was found to accumulate primarily in green tissues, whereas the transcripts of the five putative GS1 genes were shown to accumulate preferentially in roots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions of cytoplasmic dynein light chains Tctex-1 and LC8 with the intermediate chain IC74.
TL;DR: The increased structure introduced into N-IC74 upon light chain binding suggests a mechanism by which LC8 and Tctex-1 may regulate the assembly of the dynein complex.
