The B73 Maize Genome: Complexity, Diversity, and Dynamics

Patrick S. Schnable, +159 more
- 20 Nov 2009 - 
TL;DR: The sequence of the maize genome reveals it to be the most complex genome known to date and the correlation of methylation-poor regions with Mu transposon insertions and recombination and how uneven gene losses between duplicated regions were involved in returning an ancient allotetraploid to a genetically diploid state is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural models of primary cell walls in flowering plants: consistency of molecular structure with the physical properties of the walls during growth

TL;DR: This review integrates information on the chemical structure of individual polymers with data obtained from new techniques used to probe the arrangement of the polymers within the walls of individual cells consistent with the physical properties of the wall and its components.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Sorghum bicolor genome and the diversification of grasses

TL;DR: An initial analysis of the ∼730-megabase Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench genome is presented, placing ∼98% of genes in their chromosomal context using whole-genome shotgun sequence validated by genetic, physical and syntenic information.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of uronic acids without interference from neutral sugars

TL;DR: It is found that a small amount of sulfamate suppresses color production by a 20-fold excess of some neutral sugars without substantial sacrifice of the sensitive detection of uronic acids by the diphenyl reagent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and biogenesis of the cell walls of grasses

TL;DR: This review focuses on the chemistry of the unique polysaccharides, aromatic substances, and proteins of the grasses and how these structural elements are synthesized and assembled into dynamic and functional cell walls.
