Mitochondrial mutagenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. III. Nitrous acid.

Nitrous acid (NA) induced mutations efficiently in mitDNA, conferring resistance to erythromycin and weakly induces mit- mutations. In some strains of yeast it also enhanced rho- mutations. The frequencies of nuclear and mitochondrial mutations induced with NA are compared.

Survival and Infectivity of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus in Wood Chip-Soil Mixtures

To determine the effect of soil environment on the life stages and total numbers of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, nematode-infested wood chips alone and mixed with soil were incubated at 12 and 20 C. Nematodes were extracted at 2-week intervals for 12 weeks. Numbers of nematodes and percentage of third-stage dispersal larvae were greater at 12 C and in chips without soil. Percentage of juveniles of the propagative cycle was greater at 20 C and in chips with soil. Although B. xylophilus survived in chips with soil for 12 weeks, nematode numbers and life stage percentages changed little over time. To determine if B. xylophilus was capable of infecting wounded roots, infested and uninfested chips were mixed with soil in pots with white and Scots pine seedlings. Trees were maintained at 20 and 30 C and harvested at mortality or after 12 weeks. Only seedlings treated with infested chips contained nematodes. In field experiments, planted seedlings were mulched with infested chips to determine if nematodes would invade basal stem wounds. Among these trees, Scots pine was more susceptible than white or red pines to infection and mortality.     

Lignicolous marine fungi in the Straits of Messina,Italy

The occurrence and distribution of lignicolous marine fungi in the Straits of Messina has been studied. Using submerged panels of pine, beech and poplar, twenty fungal species were identified. The lignicolous mycoflora of the Messina Straits was not significantly different from that reported in the literature for other temperate marine coastal environments, Ascomycotina being frequent, while Basidiomycotina were rare.     

Decline and Death of Pinus spp. in Delaware Caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Etiological studies to determine the cause of decline and death of Pinus spp. in Delaware were initiated in 1980. The pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, was found to be the major canse of mortality in Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii). When inoculated into healthy 5-yr-old Japanese black pines, B. xylophilus produced typical decline symptoms observed in the field. The xylophilous fungi most often associated with declining trees, Rhizosphaera pini, Fusarium spp., and Pestalotia funerea, were not pathogenic to Japanese black pine in greenhouse tests. Mineral analyses of soil and foliage showed no significant differences between healthy and infested trees. B. xylolyhilus was also found on loblolly pine (P. taeda), scrub pine (P. virginiana), Scots pine (P. sylvestris), red pine (P. resinosa), Eastern white pine (P. strobus), and pitch pine (P. rigida).     

Changes in phenolic acids and abscisic acid in sugar pine embryos and megagametophytes during stratification

The phenolic acids and abscisic acid (ABA) of sugar pine ( Pinus lambertiana Dougl.) embryos and megagametophytes, separated by high-pressure liquid chromatography, were analyzed during 90 days stratification of the seeds. The phenolic acids occurred mainly as glycosides. Following hydrolysis, the majority of phenolics present could be identified as common benzoic and ciranamic acid derivatives. Levels of phenolic acids were relatively low in dormant seeds, but increased substantially in the embryos during stratification at 5°C, particularly cinnamic acid, p -coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and one unknown. This active synthesis during stratification did not support an inhibitory function for phenolic acids. During stratification at 5°C, changes in ABA levels in both tissues followed a triphasic pattern, with no loss during the first 30 days, a significant decrease the second 30 days, and a lesser decrease the last 30 days. Loss of ABA from moist seeds at 25°C occurred three times as rapidly, so that by 30 days the ABA level of these seeds was equivalent to that of seeds stratified 90 days at 5°C; however, dormancy was not alleviated at 25°C. Application of exogenous ABA (10⁻⁷ to 10⁻⁴M) to stratified seeds did not significantly reduce germination. Together, the above results did not support a primary role for ABA in the maintenance of dormancy in sugar pines.
A correlated increase in phenylpropanoid metabolism and respiratory capacity with increased germinability during stratification suggests that loss of dormancy may be more closely dependent on increased levels of growth promoters or shifts in metabolic pathways.     

Seasonal variation in ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase activity in Pinus silvestris

Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase activity was examined in Pinus silvestris L. during successive seasons. The enzyme activities were studied both in seedlings, kept under controlled conditions in a climate chamber, and in needles from a 15-year-old tree in a natural stand. The enzyme activities were analysed in cell-free extracts prepared with Tween 80 as protective agent. The carboxylase activity fluctuated periodically both in the seedlings and in the natural stand. In the seedlings, the weight-related activity in the older needles increased 50–100% (in the cotyledons c. 200%) in the beginning of the “summer”. It decreased as the new shoot developed. The specific activity increased c. 100%. With chlorophyll as base, the activity usually decreased during “summer”. In the developing current needles the carboxylase activity increased when expressed on a weight or on a protein basis. The decrease in weight-related carboxylase activity in the older needles was preceded by, or simultaneous with, loss of total protein. It is suggested that protein, including the carboxylase, is utilized as nitrogen reserve for the new shoot. During hardening by combined photoperiod and thermoperiod, the carboxylase activity decreased when expressed relative to dry weight and protein. Calculated on a chlorophyll basis, the activity was rather constant. In the natural stand the activity in the one- and two-year-old needles increased during spring and summer and decreased during autumn and winter. Even at severe winter stress substantial carboxylase activity remained in the needles. The activity of the enzyme in vivo is discussed with respect to electron transport and net photosynthesis.     

Systematic studies of Pinus balfouriana based on volatile terpenoids from wood and needles and on seed morphology

Essential oil from wood and from needles of Pinus balfouriana, growing in six geographically well-separated locations in California, was analysed by GLC. Several monoterpenoid components, in particular -pinene from needles, were found to be usable for distinguishing between trees from the northern and southern parts of the geographic range. Similarity coefficients were calculated and dendrograms constructed. These demonstrated the distinct separation of the northern from the southern populations, and thus substantiated the proposal by Mastrogiuseppe to regard the southern populations as a subspecies. While the northern populations exhibited a tendency to produce larger seeds with longer wings, the difference was of only moderate diagnostic value.
