Summary The echolocation of bats in the genusTadarida is highly adaptive to different acoustic conditions. These bats use different types of sonar signals with a diversity usually observed in comparisons across families of bats.Tadarida brasiliensis andT. macrotis search for airborne prey in open, uncluttered spaces using narrow-band, short CF signals with no FM components. They add broadband FM components while dropping the CF components when approaching or capturing prey. Only one harmonic is present in these insect-pursuit signals. When flying in cluttered situations or echolocating in a laboratory room,T. brasiliensis uses multiple-harmonic FM signals. Stationary bats tend to use linear frequency sweeps and moving bats tend to use curvilinear frequency sweeps or linear period sweeps. When emerging from a roost they initially use a short-CF/FM signal, changing to an FM signal as they fly away. The acuity of perception of target range inT. brasiliensis is about 1.0 to 1.5 cm and is determined by the bandwidth of the target-ranging sonar signals as represented by their autocorrelation functions. Many less adaptable species of bats use signals corresponding to part of the sonar repertoire ofTadarida. The functions of short CF or narrowband signals for detection and FM or broadband signals for resolution and acoustic imaging identified from comparisons among such species are confirmed by observations of echolocation byTadarida. The differences observed in echolocation among many species and families of bats appear to be evolutionary adaptations to some of the same features of the acoustic environment to whichTadarida responds behaviorally.Abbreviations

When it is attacked by a pathogen, a plant produces a range of defense-related proteins. Many of these are synthesized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) to be secreted from the cell or deposited in vacuoles. Genes encoding endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident chaperones, such as the lumenal binding protein (BiP), are also induced under these conditions. Here, we show that BiP induction occurs systemically throughout the plant. Furthermore, this induction occurs rapidly and precedes expression of genes encoding pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. The underlying signal transduction pathway was shown to be independent of the signaling molecule salicylic acid and the unfolded protein response pathway. In addition, BiP induction was independent of PR gene induction. Overproduction of BiP alone was not sufficient to cause induction of PR gene expression; however, limiting the amount of BiP in the ER lumen via superimposed ER stress inhibited the induction of PR gene expression. We propose that the induction of BiP expression during plant-pathogen interactions is required as an early response to support PR protein synthesis on the RER and that a novel signal transduction pathway exists to trigger this rapid response. 相似文献
