Proline is a proteogenic amino acid and accumulates both under stress and non-stress
conditions as a beneficial solute in plants. Recent discoveries point out that proline plays an …

Studies in corn have identified genetic variation attributable to unitary factors at perhaps
1000 or more loci, loosely defined; if rigorous criteria were applied with regard to supporting …

For the first time in synoptic form, this book presents a clear account of the most recent
knowledge of embryogenesis in flowering plants. A multidisciplinary approach is adopted …

Proline, an important amino acid, accumulates in many plant species. Besides its role in
plant cell responses to environmental stresses, the potential biological functions of proline in …

The field of amino acid biosynthesis from inorganic nitrogen has been one of the most active
in plant biochemistry in the last five years and a recent book has been devoted entirely to it …

The biosynthesis of histidine (His) in microorganisms, long studied through the isolation and
characterization of auxotrophic mutants, has emerged as a paradigm for the regulation of …

Lethal mutants have been used in a variety of animal systems to study the genetic control of
morphogenesis and differentiation. Abnormal development has been shown in some cases …

The morphology and physiology of the endosperm are described and 5 aspects of the
genetics of endosperm development are reviewed, namely the effects of mutations on (1) the …

Essentially all gymnosperms and angiosperms (phanerogams), like other groups of plants,
begin their lives from a single cell, the fertilized egg or the zygote. What makes the zygote so …

In excised pro 1-1 mutant and corresponding normal type roots of Zea mays L. the uptake
and interconversion of [14C] proline,[14C] glutamic acid,[14C] glutamine, and [14C] ornithine …
