Environmentally Induced Heritable Changes in Flax
Some flax varieties respond to nutrient stress by modifying their genome and these modifications can be inherited through many generations. Also associated with these genomic changes are heritable phenotypic variations. The flax variety Stormont Cirrus (Pl) when grown under three different nutrient conditions can either remain inducible (under the control conditions), or become stably modified ...
متن کاملSpecific DNA alterations associated with the environmental induction of heritable changes in flax.
Several flax varieties have been shown to undergo environmentally induced heritable changes resulting in stable lines termed genotrophs. The most notable of these is the variety Stormont Cirrus, also termed "plastic" or Pl. A number of morphological, biochemical and genetic differences are associated with environmental induction of heritable changes in flax. We have studied 5S rDNA alterations ...
متن کاملEnvironmentally-induced changes in the Fatty acids of chlorella.
Qualitative and quantitative analyses were made of the major fatty acids of Chlorella fusca, Shihira and Krauss, in both autotrophic and heterotrophic culture. Cells grown heterotrophically were subjected to CO(2) concentrations as great as 40%-in-air.The major fatty acids of autotrophic cells grown under a 1% environmental concentration of CO(2), in order of concentration were 16:0, 18:3, 16:4...
متن کاملHeritable Remodeling of Yeast Multicellularity by an Environmentally Responsive Prion
Prion proteins undergo self-sustaining conformational conversions that heritably alter their activities. Many of these proteins operate at pivotal positions in determining how genotype is translated into phenotype. But the breadth of prion influences on biology and their evolutionary significance are just beginning to be explored. We report that a prion formed by the Mot3 transcription factor, ...
متن کاملChanges in the transcription pattern of flax cotyledons after inoculation with flax rust.
The rate of (32)P incorporation into RNA fractions of flax cotyledons (Linum usitatissimum L. var. Bison) was found to increase two- to three-fold by 48h after inoculation with flax rust [Melampsora lini (Pers.) Lev., race no. 3]. This was accompanied by a change in the nucleotide composition of the newly transcribed sodium chloride-soluble RNA fraction. A comparison of the nucleotide compositi...
