Transgenic Crops IV (Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry, Vol. 59)

Genetic engineering is a robust software for crop development. Crop biotechnology earlier than 2001 was once reviewed in Transgenic vegetation I-III, yet fresh advances in plant cellphone and molecular biology have caused the necessity for brand spanking new volumes. Transgenic vegetation IV offers with cereals, greens, root plants, herbs and spices.

Example text

Henke (Naturwissenschaften 34, 149, 1947), in analyzing the phenomenon of phenocopy, has distinguished between true and spurious phenocopies. In the present case, the parallelism of the phenotype of dd animals and of h y p o physectomized D — animals is certainly so striking that the existence of a true phenocopy may be suspected. In both cases, the number of melanophores is reduced, their appearance for a certain period of development punctate, epidermal melanophores are missing, and melanophores seem to be restricted to certain regions of the body which are identical in both cases.

GORDON: What is your opinion of the contention of Niu and T w i t t y that macrophages may differentiate into melanophores? H. C. DALTON: Niu and T w i t t y ( / . Exptl. Zodl. 113, 633-643, 1950) have proposed that large numbers of melanophores originate at metamorphosis in Triturus torosus by the transformation of macrophages following ingestion of pigment released by degenerating melanophores of neural crest origin.
