Alternative splicing induced by insertion of retrotransposons into the maize waxy gene. [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 1992
The molecular basis for the low level expression of three alleles of the maize waxy (Wx) gene has been described. Each allele contains a retrotransposon in intron sequences. These insertions represent previously undescribed elements, and their association with three wx alleles indicates that retrotransposon elements are important agents of spontaneous ...

Dosage effects of Waxy gene on the structures and properties of corn starch [PDF]

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2016
The objective of this study was to understand dosage effects of the Waxy gene on the structures of amylose and amylopectin and on the properties of corn starch. Reciprocal crossing of isogenic normal and waxy corn lines was conducted to develop hybrids with different dosages (0, 1, 2, 3) of Waxy gene in the endosperm.

Analysis of the relationship between Wx gene polymorphisms and amylose content in hulless barley

Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2017
I2-KI staining was used to phenotype 151 hulless barley plants, which determined that five samples were of the waxy variety, namely 14-Z152, IG107028, Puebla, Hu Zhu Shuang Cao Ren, and APM-HC1905.

Physiological and biochemical indexes and waxy gene expression of wax-deficient mutant in barley under drought stress

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2019
The wild-type (WT) barley ZJU3 and wax-deficient mutant P1 were used as experimental materials. Using the solution culture methods, when the seedlings growing to two leaves, drought stress was simulated by different concentrations of PEG (macrogol)-6000 ...

MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF WAXY GENE MARKERS IN SORGHUM CROSSES KD4 AND BONTEB GUNUNGKIDUL

Biotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology
HIGHLIGHTS - Local sorghum crosses show unique fixation of the waxy starch gene allele - Only Wxc allele is expressed, while other waxy alleles are not detected - Waxy allele expression strongly relates to low amylose grain quality - Marker-based ...

Fast and Inexpensive Phenotyping and Genotyping Methods for Evaluation of Barley Mutant Population

Plants, 2020
To further develop barley breeding and genetics, more information on gene functions based on the analysis of the mutants of each gene is needed. However, the mutant resources are not as well developed as the model plants, such as Arabidopsis and rice ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Longitudinal circulating tumor DNA profiling in patients with advanced endometrial cancer using an off‐the‐shelf targeted NGS panel

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Intratumour heterogeneity complicates precision management of advanced endometrial cancer. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a minimally invasive strategy to capture tumor evolution and therapeutic resistance. Here, we compare tumor‐agnostic NGS with tumor‐informed ddPCR, outlining their relative sensitivity, concordance, and clinical implications ...
