Generating anatomical variation through mutations in networks - implications for evolution.
Genetic mutation leads to anatomical variation only indirectly because many proteins involved in generating anatomical structures in embryos operate cooperatively within molecular networks. These include gene-regulatory or control networks (CNs) for timing, signaling and patterning together with the process networks (PNs) for proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation and morphogenesis that they...
متن کاملGenerating novel allelic variation through Activator insertional mutagenesis in maize.
The maize transposable element Activator (Ac) has been exploited as an insertional mutagen to disrupt, clone, and characterize genes in a number of plant species. To develop an Ac-based mutagenesis platform for maize, a large-scale mutagenesis was conducted targeting the pink scutellum1 locus. We selected 1092 Ac transposition events from a closely linked donor Ac, resulting in the recovery of ...
متن کاملAdult sex ratio variation: implications for breeding system evolution.
Adult sex ratio (ASR) exhibits immense variation in nature, although neither the causes nor the implications of this variation are fully understood. According to theory, the ASR is expected to influence sex roles and breeding systems, as the rarer sex in the population has more potential partners to mate with than the more common sex. Changes in mate choice, mating systems and parental care sug...
متن کاملAnatomical variation in the rudimentary horns of a unicornuate uterus: implications for laparoscopic surgery.
A case of laparoscopic excision of a rudimentary horn is presented. The anatomical features of this case are contrasted with others in the published literature. A 23 year old nulligravida presented with severe dysmenorrhoea and a pelvic mass. At laparoscopy a unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn was identified. The patient had stage III endometriosis. The rudimentary horn was attached to ...
متن کاملVariation and evolution of herkogamy in Exochaenium (Gentianaceae): implications for the evolution of distyly.
BACKGROUNDS AND AIMS The spatial separation of stigmas and anthers (herkogamy) in flowering plants functions to reduce self-pollination and avoid interference between pollen dispersal and receipt. Little is known about the evolutionary relationships among the three main forms of herkogamy - approach, reverse and reciprocal herkogamy (distyly) - or about transitions to and from a non-herkogamous...
