The new anamorphic genus Hinomyces is erected to accommodate Botrytis (Cristulariella) moricola and Cristulariella pruni. A new genus and species, Nervostroma depraedans, is erected in the Sclerotiniaceae to accommodate the teleomorph of Crist. depraedans, with an additional species, Nervostroma cercidiphylli.     

Comparisons of the hybrids Hordeum chilensexH. vulgare,H. chilensexH. bulbosum,H. chilensexSecale cereale and the amphidiploid of H. chilensexH. vulgare

Summary Diploid hybrids between Hordeum chilense and three other species, namely H. vulgare, H. bulbosum and Secale cereale, are described together with the amphidiploid of H. chilensexH. vulgare. Both the diploid hybrid and the amphidiploid of H. chilensexH. vulgare were chromosomally unstable, H. chilensexH. bulbosum was less so, while H. chilensexS. cereale was stable. Differential amphiplasty was found in all combinations. No homoeologous pairing was found in the Hordeum hybrids but in H. chilensexS. cereale there was chromosome pairing both within the two genomes and between the genomes.

Fructose bisphosphatase isozymes of the mouse. I. Inheritance

Electrophoretically detectable polymorphisms of fructose bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) have been found in the mouse. One polymorphism, found among inbred strains of Mus musculus and feral animals, affects the isozymes found in the muscle and in most other tissues examined but is not expressed in kidney, liver, or testis. These tissues have other electrophoretically distinct isozymes which are monomorphic in Mus musculus but are present as a different electromorph in the sympatric species Mus spretus. Breeding data have established that the genetic control of the muscle enzyme is expressed by an autosomal structural locus Fbp-1 which is distinct from that expressing the liver, kidney, and testis enzyme, Fbp-2. The organ-specific expression of the two loci suggests possible functional differences between the two products.This work was supported by the Medical Research Council.     

Mapping of the ros virulence regulatory gene of A. tumefaciens.

Summary Virulence functions associated with the oncogenicity of Agrobacterium tumefaciens are encoded by vir genes contained in six major operons located on the Ti plasmid. The virC and virD operons encode functions responsible for host range and T-intermediate processing. These two operons are regulated positively by the product of virG and negatively by the product of the chromosomal gene ros, which encodes a 15.5 kDa repressor. To determine the location of the ros gene we have constructed A. tumefaciens HFR strains, using transposon Tn5mob to mobilize the ros locus, and used them to map the location of ros relative to auxotrophic loci. Tight linkage was found between ros, his-34 and his-19. A linkage map is presented showing the location of ros relative to other known chromosomal genes associated with virulence functions.

Ascobotryozyma americana gen. nov. et sp. nov. and its anamorph Botryozyma americana, an unusual yeast from the surface of nematodes

A new teleomorphic genus Ascobotryozyma, with a single species, A. americana, is proposed. Its anamorph is a Botryozyma that differs from the type species, B. nematodophila, on distributional, physiological, and molecular criteria; it is described as Botryozyma americana, anam. sp. nov. Ascobotryozyma is characterized by globose asci bearing four lunate ascospores. Fusion of thallus cells precedes ascus formation. Ascobotryozyma americana was isolated from the surface of nematodes (Panagrellus dubius) associated with galleries of the poplar borer (Saperda calcarata) in trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) in eastern Washington, USA. The teleomorph has not been produced in pure culture.     

Characterization of the nuclear DNA ofPhialophora gregata ff.sp.adzukicola andsojae

Phialophora gregata nuclear (n) DNA was characterized by physical methods. The nDNA of f.sp.adzukicola was shown to be larger than that of f.sp.sojae, 2.9 and 2.1 × 10¹⁰ Da, respectively. The amounts of repetitive sequence and AT-rich region in the nDNA were also larger in f.sp.adzukicola than f.sp.sojae. These results indicate that the nuclear genome organization of the two formae speciales is differentiated.
