 Golden rice

The transgenic rice, popularly called "golden rice" contains good quantities of carotene, which gives the grains a golden colour. In one transgenic line, the β-carotene content was as high as 85% of the total carotenoids present in the grain.

At the same time, the sperm microtubules induce the contraction of the actin-myosin cytoskeleton toward the anterior, thereby clearing PAR-3, PAR-6, and PKC-3 from the posterior of the 1-cell embryo.

Auxin-induced proton extrusion acidifies the cell wall and increases cell extension

Auxin increase the rate of proton extrusion (wall acidification), and the kinetics of proton extrusion should closely match those of auxin-induced growth.

A comprehensive series of such temperature-sensitive mutants in Escherichia coli identifies a set of loci called the dna genes. The dna mutants distinguish two stages of replication by their behavior when the temperature is raised

The members of the major class of quick-stop mutants cease replication immediately upon a temperature increase.

The members of the smaller class of slow-stop mutants complete the current round of replication, but cannot start another.
