inheritance of polymorphic markers generated by dna amplification fingerprinting and their use as genetic markers in soybean.dna amplification fingerprinting (daf) using a high primer-to-template ratio and single, very short arbitrary primers, was used to generate amplified fragment length polymorphic markers (aflp) in soybean (glycine max (l.) merr.). the inheritance of aflps was studied using a cross between the ancestral glycine soja pi468.397 and glycine max (l.) merr. line nts382, f1 and f2 progeny. the amplification reaction was carried out with soybean genomic dna and 8 base long oligonucleotide primers. silver ...19947948860
genetic mapping and variability of seven soybean simple sequence repeat loci.microsatellites or simple sequence repeats are stretches of short tandemly repeated dna sequence motifs, dispersed throughout the genomes of most eukaryotes. simple sequence repeat polymorphisms (ssrps) have recently been reported in plants. here we present the genetic map position of seven different soybean (glycine max (l.) merr. and glycine soja sieb. and zucc.) ssrps contained in sequenced genes, four of which represent newly mapped positions for these genes. the other three ssrps coincided ...19948001811
the structures and biological activities of the lipo-oligosaccharide nodulation signals produced by type i and ii strains of bradyrhizobium japonicum.bradyrhizobium japonicum produces lipo-oligosaccharide signal molecules that induce deformation of root hairs and meristematic activity on soybeans. b. japonicum usda135 (a type i strain) produces modified chitin pentasaccharide molecules with either a terminal n-c16:0- or n-c18:1-glucosamine with and without an o-acetyl group at c-6 and with 2-o-methylfucose linked to c-6 of the reducing n-acetylglucosamine. an additional molecule has n-c16:1-glucosamine and no o-acetyl group. all of these mole ...19938349712
direct end labelling of telomeres.a novel approach of direct end labelling of telomeres is presented. chromosome-sized, agarose-embedded dna was treated with t4 dna polymerase to remove protruding 3' end of telomeres and to generate single-stranded 5' ends. the dna was then labelled by the same enzyme in the presence of [alpha-32p]dgtp and cold datp and dttp. labelled yeast chromosomes separated by pulsed field gel electrophoresis maintained their integrity. digestion of yeast chromosomes separated in pulsed field gels with a re ...19938514152
expression of the early nodulin, enod40, in soybean roots in response to various lipo-chitin signal molecules.the lipo-chitin (lco) nodulation signal (nod signal) purified from bradyrhizobium japonicum induced nodule primordia on soybean (i.e. glycine soja) roots. these primordia were characterized by a bifurcated vascular connection, cortical cell division, and the accumulation of mrna of the early nodulin gene, enod40. a chemically synthesized lco identical in structure to the nod signal purified from b. japonicum cultures showed the same activity when inoculated on to soybean roots. surprisingly, syn ...19968758977
cooperative action of lipo-chitin nodulation signals on the induction of the early nodulin, enod2, in soybean roots.various lipo-chitin molecules were tested for their ability to induce the expression of the early nodulin, enod2, in glycine soja roots. when inoculated separately onto g. soja roots, lco-v (c18:1 delta 11,mefuc), lco-v (c18:1 delta 9,mefuc), lco-v (c16:0,mefuc), and lco-iv (c16:0) were unable to induce enod2 expression, even though these compounds had previously been shown to induce root hair curling, the formation of nodule-like primordia, and induction of the early nodulin, enod40. enod2 expr ...19968810072
nodz of bradyrhizobium extends the nodulation host range of rhizobium by adding a fucosyl residue to nodulation signals.the nodulation genes of rhizobia are involved in the production of the lipo-chitin oligosaccharides (lco), which are signal molecules required for nodule formation. a mutation in nodz of bradyrhizobium japonicum results in the synthesis of nodulation signals lacking the wild-type 2-o-methylfucose residue at the reducting-terminal n-acetylglucosamine. this phenotype is correlated with a defective nodulation of siratro (macroptilium atropurpureum). here we show that transfer of nodz to rhizobium l ...19968858593
