Molecular analysis of the alcohol dehydrogenase (Adhl) gene of maize (1984)
Dennis, E.S., Gerlach, W.L., Pryor, A.J., Bennetzen, J.L., Inglis, A., Llewllyn, D., ...
A cDNA clone of maize Adhl which contains the entire protein coding region of the gene has been constructed. The protein sequence predicted from the nucieotide sequence is in agreement with limited...
Nucleotide sequence of the maize transposable element Mul (1984)
Barker, R.F., Thompson, D.V., Talbot, D.R., Swanson, J., Bennetzen, J.L.
Due to an inadvertant error, two nucleotides were unable to be corrected before final publication. Two adenine nucleotides at positions 1088 and 1094 are in fact guanine nucleotides. These changes,...
Microcolinearity in sh2-homologous regions of the maize, rice, and sorghum genomes
Chen, M., SanMiguel, P., De Oliveira, A. C., Zhang, H., Wing, R. A., ...
Large regions of genomic colinearity have been demonstrated among grass species by recombinational mapping, but the degree of chromosomal conservation at the sub-centimorgan level has not been...
Genetic mapping and characterization of sorghum and related crops by means of maize DNA probes.
Hulbert, S H, Richter, T E, Axtell, J D, Bennetzen, J L
Cloned DNA fragments from 14 characterized maize genes and 91 random fragments used for genetic mapping in maize were tested for their ability to hybridize and detect restriction fragment length...
Matrix attachment regions and structural colinearity in the genomes of two grass species.
Avramova, Z, Tikhonov, A, Chen, M, Bennetzen, J L
In order to gain insights into the relationship between spatial organization of the genome and genome function we have initiated studies of the co-linear Sh2/A1- homologous regions of rice (30 kb)...
Retrotransposons are a class of mobile DNA sequences in eukaryotes that transpose through a reverse-transcribed RNA intermediate. Retrotransposons containing long terminal repeats have many of the...
Avramova, Z, SanMiguel, P, Georgieva, E, Bennetzen, J L
We provide evidence for the location of matrix attachment sites along a contiguous region of 280 kb on maize chromosome 1. We define nine potential loops that vary in length from 6 kb to > 75 kb. The...
Structure and coding properties of Bs1, a maize retrovirus-like transposon.
We have sequenced Bs1, an insertion element isolated from a null allele of the Adh1 locus encoding alcohol dehydrogenase in maize. The Bs1 element is 3203 base pairs (bp) in length, has 302-bp...
Molecular analysis of the alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh1) gene of maize.
Dennis, E S, Gerlach, W L, Pryor, A J, Bennetzen, J L, Inglis, A, Llewellyn, D, ...
A cDNA clone of maize Adh1 which contains the entire protein coding region of the gene has been constructed. The protein sequence predicted from the nucleotide sequence is in agreement with limited...
Nucleotide sequence of the maize transposable element Mul.
Barker, R F, Thompson, D V, Talbot, D R, Swanson, J, Bennetzen, J L
A cloned DNA fragment from the maize allele Adhl-S3034 contains all of Mul, an insertion element involved in Robertson's Mutator activity. The element is 1367 base pairs (bp) long and is flanked by...
Bennetzen, J L, Swanson, J, Taylor, W C, Freeling, M
A genetically unstable mutant allele of maize alcohol dehydrogenase-1 (Adh1) causes reduced levels of messenger RNA. This mutant was derived from a Robertson's mutator genetic background and...
DNA class organization on maize Adh1 yeast artificial chromosomes.
Springer, P S, Edwards, K J, Bennetzen, J L
The organization of higher plant genomes is poorly understood. These genomes are typified by their large size and extensive repetitive DNA component. To further our understanding of the composition...
Molecular Analysis of Multiple Mutator-Derived Alleles of the Bronze Locus of Maize
Brown, W. E., Robertson, D. S., Bennetzen, J. L.
Very few mutations derived from Mutator maize lines have been studied at the molecular level. The variety of Mu elements that can induce mutations, the relative frequency of mutant induction by...
Unequal Exchange and Meiotic Instability of Disease-Resistance Genes in the Rp1 Region of Maize
Sudupak, M. A., Bennetzen, J. L., Hulbert, S. H.
The Rp1 region of maize was originally characterized as a complex locus which conditions resistance to the fungus Puccinia sorghi, the causal organism in the common rust disease. Some alleles of Rp1...
Mu1-Related Transposable Elements of Maize Preferentially Insert into Low Copy Number DNA
Cresse, A. D., Hulbert, S. H., Brown, W. E., Lucas, J. R., Bennetzen, J. L.
The Mutator transposable element system of maize was originally identified through its induction of mutations at an exceptionally high frequency and at a wide variety of loci. The Mu1 subfamily of...
New Rust Resistance Specificities Associated with Recombination in the Rp1 Complex in Maize
Richter, T. E., Pryor, T. J., Bennetzen, J. L., Hulbert, S. H.

The Y1 Gene of Maize Codes for Phytoene Synthase
Buckner, B., Miguel, P. S., Janick-Buckner, D., Bennetzen, J. L.
