American Journal of Botany, Vol. 14, No. 2 (Feb., 1927), pp. 53-75 (26 pages) 1. The diploid number of chromosomes for all strains of Zea Mays studied, with the exception of Black Mexican sweet corn, ...

Quiet brilliance. Like Gregor Mendel before her, Barbara McClintock quietly dedicated most of her scientific life to the study of one plant, and her discoveries revealed important genetic secrets.

Casarabe people grew the nutritious crop year-round on savannas thanks to networks of drainage canals and ponds.

A genetic link between Northern Flints and 1,000-year-old Ozark maize By reconstructing the genomes of archaeological maize cobs and kernels, the study reveals that 1,000-year-old maize from ...

It was here that she became interested in the new field of cytogenetics, specifically of maize or corn. Cytogenetics studies how the chromosomes relate to cell behavior, particularly during cell ...

Ds Genetic location on the short arm of chromosome ... transposition at different stages of seed development, the genes of maize kernels are capable of producing a variety of coloration patterns.

By Milliam MurigiAs climate change intensifies, rising temperatures and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns create ...

No one believed Barbara McClintock in 1951 when she first described DNA that "jumped" from site to site within maize chromosomes, altering the expression of genes near the sites of integration. In due ...

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK Leibniz Institute (IPK) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.
