Polymorphisms in the genes of citohrom oxidase P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and apolipoproteine E (APOE) as risk factors for Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Background/Aim. The presence of Parkinson's disease (PD) among the members of a family is a clear indication of the significance of genetics in its development.

Differential coupling of gibberellin responses by Rht-B1c suppressor alleles and Rht-B1b in wheat highlights a unique role for the DELLA N-terminus in dormancy [PDF]
During the Green Revolution, substantial increases in wheat (Triticum aestivum) yields were realized, at least in part, through the introduction of the Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b semi-dwarfing alleles.

KIR2DL2/2DL3-E(35) alleles are functionally stronger than -Q(35) alleles. [PDF]
KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 segregate as alleles of a single locus in the centromeric motif of the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene family. Although KIR2DL2/L3 polymorphism is known to be associated with many human diseases and is an important

Selection responses of means and inbreeding depression for female fecundity in Drosophila melanogaster suggest contributions from intermediate-frequency alleles to quantitative trait variation [PDF]
The extent to which quantitative trait variability is caused by rare alleles maintained by mutation, versus intermediate-frequency alleles maintained by balancing selection, is an unsolved problem of evolutionary genetics.

Cytological characterization and allelism testing of anther developmental mutants identified in a screen of maize male sterile lines. [PDF]
Proper regulation of anther differentiation is crucial for producing functional pollen, and defects in or absence of any anther cell type result in male sterility.
