By a decision of the Presidium of Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Association has been transformed since July 1, 1990 into Institute of Plant Genetics SAS headed by Dr. Anna Pretova, PhD. On the basis of the same kind of decision, the name of the Institute was extended since April 1, 1998 on Institute of Plant Genetics and Biotechnology SAS to characterise more exactly the nature of the performed research in its two departments. The Institute as a carrier of the PHARE project under Foundation for Development of Human Resources named ”The higher forms of education in plant biotechnology” has obtained a certificate of Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic which endorse the Institute to perform a requalification courses in the field of plant biotechnology. The associates of the Institute provide consultations and guidence services in the respective field contributing to the erection on the concept of the national programme of biotechnology development.

Researchers were studying the “hothead” gene in a species of mustard plant which caused the plant’s flowers to be deformed.  When mutant plants were bred together, all of the offspring were expected to be deformed as well, so the researchers were astounded when ten percent of them turned out undamaged.  When the scientists examined the genes of the undamaged plants, they found that one gene passed from the parent plants was still mutated, but the other one had somehow repaired itself and was completely normal.   The team is still at a loss as to how to explain the phenomenon.  First, they repeated their experiments, to make sure this strange outcome was not the result of contamination or other mistakes in their methods.  Then they searched the plants’ DNA, but couldn’t find a normal copy of the gene anywhere.  They theorize that the blueprint for the healthy gene may be hidden in RNA, which doesn’t contain any genetic information (we thought), but is the “workhorse” that carries out DNA’s instructions.  If the mechanism should turn out to be present in mammals, it could have all kinds of possibilities for treating and curing genetic diseases.

This week, the battle over the medical treatment of Terri Schiavo continued, with legislation, court cases, and maneuvering for position on all sides. On Wednesday, Florida Governor Jeb Bush filed a motion to have the state take custody of the brain damaged woman, citing the opinion of a state doctor who argued that Schiavo was not truly in a 'persistent vegetative state,' but rather in a state of 'minimal consciousness.' So what exactly is a persistent vegetative state? How does it differ from other conditions, such as coma? In this hour, we'll talk with neurologists about the condition, how it is diagnosed, and its medical prospects.

    Extractions: P lant Genetics Our lab performs studies in functional genomics, genome structure, and homologous meiotic recombination in maize. Transposons are invaluable tools in genetic analysis. They enable us to clone a gene on the basis of its mutant phenotype, rather than prior knowledge of its function, and to search for genes in organisms with a high content of repetitive DNA, such as maize. Functional analysis of the human-size maize genome appears daunting on the surface. However, genes are concentrated in regions of undermethylated DNA, which also correspond to the genomic component where the transposon Activator (Ac) tends to insert. Thus, genes can be identified as Ac receptor sites and isolated as the DNA adjacent to the transposed Ac s tac sites). This approach generates a sequence that can be compared to existing databases and an insertion library that can be screened intelligently for subtle mutant phenotypes. Our lab is funded by the NSF Plant Genome Program to optimize Ac as a gene searching engine in maize. We developed simple and efficient

    Extractions: (Price/availability info may have changed since original publication of review.) The field of plant genetics is growing steadily and people with even just a general interest in horticulture see small but increasing reference to it. It is a very big field and has developed an extensive vocabulary of its own in many cases using terminology that looks simple, but turns out to have a special meaning in this field. The author points out, and I cannot argue with this, that a general dictionary or glossary has not been available for this field. I can testify that standard dictionaries are not much help. If you read in this field, or refer to it in your writing, I would recommend you get a copy of this book. The author is an associate professor of genetics at the Punjab Agricultural University in India and has worked in the United States. In reading through the dictionary I found that most definitions had in them words that I needed to look up elsewhere in this dictionary. While that suggests the dictionary is not very refined, it also testifies to the speed with which the field is growing, and suggests that any difficulties in using the dictionary would be magnified if I tried to navigate around in this subject without it.

    Extractions: Botany 429 is an advanced course in plant genetics. It covers a range of topics many of which are specific to plants. Students taking this class are usually interested in learning more genetics and, at the same time, in becoming more familiar with plant biology. In previous years, the enrollment has been between 10 and 40 students, mostly junior and seniors, but also some graduate students. About one third were Botany majors, while the rest were in other biological majors, most commonly Molecular and Cellular Biology. A few students were from Forestry. In the past, this course has got very good evaluations, although most students agreed that it was quite challenging.

In the mid-1970s, Garber spent a number of summers at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, under the auspices of the U.S.-Israel Bi-National Science Foundation. Using a process called electrophoresis, he helped the Israelis genetically identify varieties of prawns that would flourish in brackish water ponds rather than commercial tank fisheries. Other Israeli projects included breeding hybrid carp and developing yeast as protein sources for human consumption. Garber was awarded a New York state grant that paid part of his tuition to Cornell University, where he graduated in 1940 with a B.S. in botany. Two years later, he earned an M.S. in genetics from the University of Minnesota. He then joined the U.S. Army and served for four years. After his discharge in 1946, Garber went to the University of California-Berkeley under the GI Bill of Rights, and by 1949, he had earned a doctorate in genetics. He then worked for several years at the Office of Naval Research in Oakland, Calif., before realizing he wanted to be in an academic setting. In 1953, he joined the Chicago faculty and remained until he retired in 1988, when he became Professor Emeritus.

    Extractions: Genetics is concerned with the nature of the genetic material, its replication, transmission, organisation, expression and its role in development, behaviour, ecology and evolution. The genetic information controls the development, behaviour and reproduction of all biological organisms. Variation in this genetic information underpins biological evolution and heredity including the inheritance of genetic disease. Consequently, Genetics is a unifying discipline of biology because genes are the principal determinants of all life processes. Environmental Sustainability Research in Fungal Genetics aims to understand the regulation of the expression of the genome, ultimately to understand precisely how genomes and proteomes orchestrate complex biological processes. Fundamental studies into the ways in which genes are turned on and off in simple and genetically amenable fungi, such as Aspergillus nidulans, not only contribute to a basic understanding of gene expression, but can have applications in industrial microbiology and in the understanding of plant/pathogen interactions. These studies also lay essential groundwork towards an understanding of normal and abnormal differentiation and development in other eukaryotic organisms, including humans.
