Abstract excerpt
We have previously described a eukaryotic heterologous expression system, with the urf13TW gene in yeast, which mimics the disease susceptibility associated with the Texas cytoplasmic male sterility in maize. This yeast model was used to isolate yeast nuclear mutants conferring methomyl resistance. The genetic strategy we have developed focused on screening for nuclear dominant yeast mutations which restore...
