This model illustrates how alleles of modifier and modified genes affect penetrance, dominance modification, expressivity and pleiotropy, and modulate the phenotypes of mutant organisms. Throughout ...

• Background and Aims Basic information about the root and root nodule structure of leguminous crop plants is incomplete, with many aspects remaining unresolved. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) forms root ...

After a gene is transcribed into RNA, modifications can occur to the subunits or "bases" that make up the RNA molecule, which can affect its structure and function. The study of these changes is known ...

Single-cell-type proteomics provides the capability to revealing the genomic and proteomics information at cell-level resolution. However, the methodology for this type of research has not been ...

Functional morphological patterns in root apices of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) dependent on growth, ageing and infection by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae and/or by the ...

There are many typs of protein modification, which are mostly catalyzed by enzymes that recognize specific target sequences in proteins. These modifications regulate protein folding by targeting ...

Iowa State University scientists have made a significant breakthrough in scientists' ability to identify specific proteins ...
