NEW YEAST CULTURE PLANT

Plant Culture Equipment.

A detailed description is presented in this paper of small sand and water culture equipment. A number of large out-of-doors sand cultures both for tree and annual crops have also been constructed at the U. S. Regional Salinity Laboratory, Riverside, California. In their general features these latter cultures are like those described in an earlier publication (3). The more significant modificati...

Plant Cell Culture

Chemostat Culture for Yeast Physiology.

The use of chemostat culture facilitates the careful comparison of different yeast strains growing in well-defined conditions. Variations in physiology can be measured by examining gene expression, metabolite levels, protein content, and cell morphology. In this protocol, we show how a combination of sample types can be collected during harvest from a single 20-mL chemostat in a ministat array,...

New Techniques of Plant Tissue Culture and Their Potential for Plant Improvement

the chloroplast whose genes are actually in the nucleus. One example of this is a protein (an enzyme) called "Rubisco" that is involved in carbon-fixation in the chloroplast. The Rubisco enzyme is made up of eight large protein subunits and eight small protein subunits. The genes for the large subunit are found in the chloroplast DNA, but the genes for the small subunit protein are found in the...
