Differences in root uptake of radiocaesium by 30 plant taxa (1997)
Journal Article

The concentration of Cs was measured in the shoots of 30 taxa of plants after exposing the roots for 6 h to 0.1 μg radiolabelled Cs g-1 soil. There were maximum differences between Chenopodium quinoa and Koeleria macrantha of 20-fold in Cs concentrat... Read More about Differences in root uptake of radiocaesium by 30 plant taxa.

Xenopus HDm, a maternally expressed histone deacetylase, belongs to an ancient family of acetyl-metabolizing enzymes (1997)
Journal Article

Modification of core histones can alter chromatin structure, facilitating the activation and repression of genes. A key example is the acetylation of N-terminal lysines of the core histones. Recently, the mammalian histone deacetylase HD1 was cloned... Read More about Xenopus HDm, a maternally expressed histone deacetylase, belongs to an ancient family of acetyl-metabolizing enzymes.

A comparison of stable caesium uptake by six grass species of contrasting growth strategy (1997)
Journal Article

Six plant species in the family Gramineae were used to investigate the relationship between Cs uptake, nutrient regime and plant growth strategy sensu Grime. The roots of 66 day old Elymus repens (L.) Gould., Bromus sterilis L., Agrostis stolonifera...

Evidence that genes from the male parent may influence the morphology of potato dihaploids (1997)
Journal Article

A number of recent studies have provided evidence that potato dihaploids (S. tuberosum) contain and express DNA front the male (dihaploid inducer) parent, S. phureja. The importance of this for breeding programmes that use dihaploid potatoes is to so... Read More about Evidence that genes from the male parent may influence the morphology of potato dihaploids.

Xp54, the Xenopus homologue of human RNA helicase p54, is an integral component of stored mRNP particles in oocytes (1997)
Journal Article

In investigating the composition of stored (maternal) mRNP particles in Xenopus oocytes, attention has focussed primarily on the phosphoproteins pp60/56, which are Y-box proteins involved in a general packaging of mRNA. We now identify a third, abund... Read More about Xp54, the Xenopus homologue of human RNA helicase p54, is an integral component of stored mRNP particles in oocytes.

Multifunctional proteins suggest connections between transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes (1997)
Journal Article

Recent findings indicate that substantial cross-talk may exist between transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. Firstly, there are suggestions that specific promoters influence the post-transcriptional fate of transcripts, pointing to comm...
