Summary The metabolic formation of either,-dodecanedioic acid or,-tridecanedioic acid from the individual n-alkane, n-alcohol, n-monoacid and,-diol with corresponding carbon chain length using K-carrageenan entrapped mutants S76 ofCandida tropicalis was studied. The immobilized cells of S76 could also directly produce-hydroxy acid and,-dioic acid from,-diol. With n-alcohol and n-monoacid as substrate, the amount of-hydroxy acid and,-dioic acid produced was also a function of the incubation time.The results demonstrated that in the immobilized cells of S76 the formation of,-dioic acid from n-alcohol can also run both via n-monoacid and via,-diol as well as in the normal cells of S76.  相似文献

Summary One hundred and twenty-two varieties, lines and wild accessions of Lycopersicon were screened under three different regimes during the autumn/winter season of 1982–83 and 1983–84 for resistance to tomato leaf curl virus (TLCV). L. hirsutum f. glabratum (B6013) and L. hirsutum f. typicum (A1904) proved to be highly resistant to TLCV in all three environments. Various accessions of L. peruvianum were also highly resistant. L. pimpinellifolium (A1921) exhibited no TLCV symptoms within 90 days. Of the cultivated varieties, Acc 99 exhibited the minimim score for susceptibility; AC 142, Collection No. 2, Kalyanpur Angurlata and HS 101 had a low rating for virus incidence. The inheritance of resistance was studied in the interspecific crosses between a TLCV resistant line of L. pimpinellifolium (A1921) and five (HS 101, HS 102, HS 110, Pusa Ruby and Punjab Chhuhara) susceptible cultivars of L. esculentum. Parents, F1, F2 and backcross progenies were artificially inoculated with local strains of TLCV using vector the viruliferious whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.). Data indicated that the resistance of L. pimpinellifolium (A 1921) is monogenic and incompletely dominant over susceptibility.  相似文献

The mechanism for synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids under aerobic and anaerobic conditions was studied in the facultative anaerobic cyanobacterium, Oscillatoria limnetica. The hexadecenoic acid (C161) of aerobically grown O. limnetica was shown to contain both the 7 (79%) and 9 (21%) isomers, while the octadecenoic (C181) acid was entirely the 9 acid. Incorporation of [2-14C] acetate into the fatty acids under aerobic conditions resulted in synthesis of the 7 and 9 C161 and the 9 C181. Synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in the presence of DCMU required sulfide. Anaerobic incubations in the presence of DCMU and sulfide (less than 0.003% atmospheric oxygen) resulted in a two-fold increase in monounsaturated fatty acids of both 7 and 9 C161 and 9 and 11 C181. The synthesis of these isomers is characteristic of a bacterialtype, anaerobic pathway.Abbreviations DCMU 3(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - MFA monounsaturated fatty acid  相似文献

Summary Soluble lead salts and a number of lead-containing minerals catalyze the formation of oligonucleotides from nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides. The effectiveness of lead compounds correlates strongly with their solubility. Under optimal conditions we were able to obtain 18% of pentamer and higher oligomers from ImpA. Reactions involving ImpU gave smaller yields.Abbreviations A adenosine - U uridine - Im imidazole - MeIm 1-methyl-imidazole - EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - pA adenosine 5-phosphate - pU uridine 5-phosphate - Ap adenosine cyclic 2:3-phosphate - ATP adenosine 5-triphosphate - AppA P1,P2-diadenosine 5-diphosphate - pNp (N = A,U) nucleotide 2(3), 5-diphosphate - ImpA adenosine 5-phosphoreimidazolide - ImpU uridine 5-phosphorimidazolide - A 2pA adenylyl-[25]-adenosine - A 3pA adenylyl-[35]-adenosine - pA 2pA 5-phospho-adenylyl-[25]-adenosine - pA 3pA 5-phospho-adenylyl-[35]-adenosine - pUpU 5-phospho-uridylyl-uridine - pApU 5-phospho-adenylyl-uridine - pUpA 5-phospho-uridylyladenine - (pA)n (n, 2,3,4,) oligoadenylates with 5 terminal phosphate - ImpApA 5-phosphorimidazolide of adenylyl adenosine - (pA) 5+ pentamer and higher oligoadenylates with 5 terminal phosphate - (Ap)nA (n = 2,3,4) oligoadenylates without terminal phosphates In the following we do not specify the nature of the internucleotide linkageIn the following we do not specify the nature of the internucleotide linkage  相似文献

Summary Using disomic chromosome substitution lines based on the susceptible wheat cultivar Chinese Spring, loose smut resistance of wheat cultivars Hope and Thatcher was shown to be conferred in each case by a single dominant major gene carried on chromosome 7 A (Hope) or 7 B (Thatcher). Partial resistance was determined by genes on an additional eight Hope or seven Thatcher chromosomes, and similarities were evident between the partial resistance genotypes ofHope and Thatcher. Chinese Spring exhibited a mean infection value of approximately 50%, indicating a significant level of partial resistance, which was found to be due, in part, to genes on the homoeologous chromosome arms 1 As, 1 Es and 1 Ds, and to cytoplasmic genes. Substitution of the Chinese Spring nucleus into the cytoplasm of Aegilops squarrosa, Ae. variabilis or Ae. mutica resulted in increased susceptibility to Ustilago tritici. Several alloplasmic lines of the resistant wheat cultivars Selkirk and Chris exhibited race-specific susceptibility to U. tritici.  相似文献

Summary This work deals with the ability of phage 80 to provide defective mutants of with their missing functions. Functions Involved in Recombination. As shown by others, the Int mechanism of 80 cannot excise prophage . However, 80 efficiently excises recombinants from tandem dilysogens, using its Ter mechanism. Likewise, the nonspecific mechanism Red is interchangeable between 80 and . Maturation of DNA by 80. The Ter recombinants excised by 80 from tandem dilysogens are packaged into a 80 protein coat. This contrasts with the fact, already mentionned by Dove, that 80 is extremely inefficient for packaging phage superinfecting a -lysogen. The latter result is also found when the helper phage is a hybrid with the left arm of (80hy4 or 80hy41 — see Fig. 1). However, the maturation of the superinfecting is much more efficient if the 80hy used as a helper has the att-N region of (like 80hy1). Conversely a with the att-N region of 80 (hy6 — see Fig. 1) is packaged more efficiently by 80 or 80hy4 than by 80hy1. It is suggested that the maturation of chromosome superinfecting an immune cell requires a recombination with the helper phage. Vegetative Functions. Among the replicative functoons O and P, the latter only can be supplied by 80. That N mutants are efficiently helped by 80 does not tell that 80 provides the defective with an active N product; the chromosomes are simply packaged into a 80 coat. This shows that 80 is unable to switch on the late genes of . That neither 80 nor any of the 80hy tested can provide an active N product is shown in a more direct way by their complete failure to help N -r14; this phage carries a polar mutation which makes the expression of genes O and P entirely N-dependant. The maturation of a N - by 80 contrasts with the fact that mutants affected in late genes (A, F or H) are not efficiently helped by 80. This suggests that the products coded by these genes are not interchangeable between 80 and , and that packaging of DNA into 80 coats is possible but inhibited when late proteins are present in the cell. Activation of the Late Genes. Among the im 80 h + hybrids tested, only 80hy41 is able to switch on the late genes of a N defective mutant. This hybrid differs from the other hybrids studied here, by the fact that it has the Q-S-R region of (see Fig. 1). The results are consistant with the view that the product of Q gene is sufficient for activating the late genes of a DNA. N would thus control the expression of late genes only indirectly by controlling the expression of gene Q (Couturier & Dambly have independantly reached the same conclusion, 1970). Furthermore the failure of 80 and of the 80hy1 and 80hy4 to activate the late genes of would imply that these phages are unable to provide an Q product active on the chromosome Reciprocally, switches on the late genes of prophage 80hy41, but not of prophages 80hy1 and 80hy4. This suggests that the initiation of late genes expression takes place at a main specific site located in the Q-S-R region of the chromosome. The expression of the late genes would thus be sequential, and proceed through the left arm only when steaky ends cohere. Similar conclusions were reached independantly by Toussaint (1969) and by Herskowitz and Signer (1970).

As the first step in the transfer of barely yellow dwarf virus resistance and salt tolerance from decaploid tall wheatgrass (Thinopyrum ponticum) into hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), octoploid intergeneric hybrids (2n = 8x = 56) were synthesized by crossing the tall wheatgrass cultivar Alkar with wheat cvs. Fukuhokomugi (Fuko) and Chinese Spring. (Fuko x Alkar) F1 hybrids were studied in detail. The F1 hybrids were perennial and generally resembled the male wheatgrass parent with regard to morphological features and gliadin profile. Most hybrids were euploid with 56 chromosomes and showed high chromosome pairing. On an average, in 6 hybrids 83.6% of the complement showed chiasmatic association, some between wheat and wheatgrass chromosomes. Such a high homoeologous pairing would be obtained if Ph1, the major homoeologous pairing suppressor in wheat, was somehow inactivated. Some of the Fuko x Alkar hybrids had high pollen fertility (18.5–42.0% with a mean of 31.5%) and high seed fertility (3–29 seeds wtih a mean of 12.3 seeds per spike), offering excellent opportunities for their direct backcrossing onto the wheat parent.  相似文献

The dynamics of coupled biological oscillators can be modeled by averaging the effects of coupling over each oscillatory cycle so that the coupling depends on the phase difference between the two oscillators and not on their specific states. Average phase difference theory claims that mode locking phenomena can be predicted by the average effects of the coupling influences. As a starting point for both empirical and theoretical investigations, Rand et al. (1988) have proposed d/dt= — K sin ), with phase-locked solutions =arcsin( /K), where is the difference between the uncoupled frequencies and K is the coupling strength. Phase-locking was evaluated in three experiments using an interlimb coordination paradigm in which a person oscillates hand-held pendulums. was controlled through length differences in the left and right pendulums. The coupled frequency c was varied by a metronome, and scaled to the eigenfrequency v of the coupled system K was assumed to vary inversely with c. The results indicate that: (1) and K contribute multiplicatively to (2) =0 or = regardless of K when =0; (3) 0 or regardless of when K is large (relative to ); (4) results (1) to (3) hold identically for both in phase and antiphase coordination. The results also indicate that the relevant frequency is c/v rather than c. Discussion high-lighted the significance of confirming =arcsin(/K) for more general treatments of phase-locking, such as circle map dynamics, and for the 11 phase-entrainment which characterizes biological movement systems.  相似文献

Summary Isozyme analysis of wild and domesticated accessions indicated that domestication of the cultivated carrot Daucus carota ssp. sativus resulted in an insignificant reduction of all genetic variability and genetic distance estimates. Although they are less variable genetically, cultivated forms maintain a high proportion of observed heterozygosity. Relative to the overall genetic variability of the species, samples from four common cultivars Red Cored Chantenay, Scarlet Nantes, Danvers Half Long and A Plus demonstrated a high degree of genetic similarity. This is attributed to the recent development of orange cultivars and the limited gene pool utilized in their development.  相似文献

To test the hypothesis that the T-cell receptor (Tcr) gene encodes a natural killer (NK) cell receptor molecule, three human NK clones and fresh peripheral blood lymphocytes with NK activity from two patients with a CD16+ lymphocytosis were analyzed for rearrangements and expression of the human Tcr , , and genes. Two of the clones displayed distinct rearrangements of their Tcr and genes and expressed mature Tcr , , and l RNA. However, one of the clones and both patient samples displayed marked NK activity but failed to rearrange or express any of their Tcr genes. These findings demonstrate that human natural killer activity is not dependent on Tcr gene rearrangement and expression. In addition, they confirm previous findings concerning the lack of Tcr and gene expression in some natural killer cells. Thus, they suggest the existence of additional NK-specific recognition molecules.  相似文献
