Summary The IncP1 plasmid pULB113 (RP4::miniMu) not only mediates the transfer of chromosomal markers in the classical direction (i.e. from the donor to the recipient cell) but also in the opposite direction (i.e. from the recipient bacterium to the donor). This phenomenon of retrotransfer was observed in homologous matings with Pseudomonas fluorescens, Alcaligenes eutrophus and Salmonella typhimurium. Retrotransconjugants could be discriminated from direct transconjugants by appropriate chromosomal and plasmid markers used to distinguish the mating partners not bearing pULB113. Retrotransfer of chromosomal markers occurred at frequencies equal to, or sometimes greater than, those observed for the direct mobilization, thus allowing the recovery of recipient recessive markers in the donor with linkage values similar to those found in the normal direction. Retrotransfer was also observed in heterospecific matings involving A. eutrophus and pULB113 bearing P. fluorescens: R-primes carrying different selected and unselected markers were recovered in both bacteria. Retrotransfer of shuttle transfer seems to be a specific trait of IncP1 plasmids. 相似文献

In the present report, we used serological, cellular, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) to investigate the DR1 haplotype in the Israeli population. We describe an Israeli homozygous typing cell (HTC), HLA-DwLVA, which defines a new lymphocyte-activating determinant associated with Bw65, DR1 and distinct from Dwl. The parents of this donor, non-Ashkenazi Algerian Jews, are first cousins and share HLA-Cw8, Bw65, BfS, DR1, DQw1, DPw4. No specificity could be assigned to HLA-DwLVA using the 91 Ninth Workshop HTCs. Two families and forty unrelated DR1 individuals were studied with DwLVA and a panel of DR1/Dw1 HTCs. HLA-DwLVA showed segregation as a single determinant within families. This new specificity was present in 24 out of 40 (60%) unrelated DR1 individuals, indicating that in the Israeli population DwLVA is the main lymphocyte-defined determinant associated with the serologically defined DRI specificity, in contrast to non-Jewish Caucasoids where DR1 is significantly associated with Dw1. The vast majority of DwLVA-positive carriers were also Bw65 carriers, indicating that Bw65, DR1, DwLVA may represent a typical allele combination in the Israeli population. The RFLP analysis established the correlation of certain RFLPs with Dw1 and DwLVA. In addition, we describe a cluster of RFLPs that may correspond to a new Dw subtype associated with DR1, for which no serological and cellular reagents have been described so far. 相似文献

Summary The appearance of and subunits of skeletal tropomyosin in early myogenesis was studied histochemically using monoclonal antibody to tropomyosin and affinity-purified polyclonal antibody to tropomyosin. In muscle cells, in both somites and limb buds, the and subunits are simultaneously expressed and first appear in the somites at the 30–36 somites. The relatively greater amount of than tropomyosin found in early myogenesis is thus likely to result from a higher rate of tropomyosin synthesis. 相似文献

Summary Intact embryos (with suspensor) ofPhaseolus coccineus (2 n=2 x=22) in different stages of development were grownin vitro on hormone-free medium under conditions favoring callus formation from the portion of the suspensor proximal to the embryo (handle portion). It was shown that callus formation was dependent upon the developmental stage of the embryo and the integrity of the embryo-suspensor system.Callus formation from the handle portion of the suspensor, whose cells have nuclei with DNA values from 4 C to 128 C, was initiated by amitosis (nuclear fragmentation) which led to binucleate and multinucleate cells. Amitosis was followed by mitosis of both nuclei resulting from a previous amitosis and nuclei of euploid cells (mostly diploid) pre-existing in the suspensor. The majority of mitoses (88%) had either a reduced chromosome number (hypodiploid, haploid, and hypohaploid) or the diploid number (22 chromosomes).The very high incidence of cells with reduced chromosome number in the suspensor callus is discussed in relation to its mechanism of origin and to its possible exploitation in plant regeneration experiments. 相似文献

Ontogenetic investigations on centric diatoms IVThe planktonic diatomStephanopyxis turris — its treatment and life history
This paper presents a detailed account of the life cycle, development and cellular mechanics of the centric diatomS. turris. Special attention is paid to culture methods, nutritional requirements and the mechanism of vegetative cell enlargement. Instructions are outlined for experimental manipulations of developmental features. Various aspects of development are treated in details, e. g. cellular structures, cell division and morphogenesis, development and germination of resting spores, differentiation of gametangia (spermatogonangia, spermatogonia and oogonia), meiosis in the gametocytes, fertilization and auxospore differentiation (including the formation of the rejuvenated first cell and the accompanying metagamic mitoses).S. turris has one-egged oogonia. Its spermatogonangia develop their spermatogonia according to theBiddulphia granulata-type and their spermiums according to theMelosira-type (Fig. 18). Two new termini, i. e. heterovalvate cytokinesis and depauperizing mitosis are introduced (p. 232, p. 238). Among the more important results are observations on karyokinesis in vivo, meiosis and karyogamy, and on the peculiar process of destruction of supernumerary nuclei following each karyokinesis in the oocyte, and later in the young auxospore. Relations between osmotic cell rhythms, karyokinetic cycle and morphogenesis are discussed at the end of the paper.

Residual toxicities of registered and selected experimental pesticides used on citrus against Agistemus industani Gonzalez (Acari: Stigmaeidae) were compared. Pesticides considered highly toxic to A. industani were: abamectin 0.15 EC at 731ml/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, pyridaben 75WP at 469g/ha, ethion 4EC at 7.01l/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, propargite 6.55 EC at 3.51l/ha, chlorfenapyr 2SC at 1.46l/ha applied alone or in combination with FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, sulphur 80DF at 16.81kg/ha, dicofol 4EC at 7.01l/ha, fenbutatin oxide 50WP at 2.24kg/ha, benomyl 50WP at 2.24kg/ha, benomyl 50WP at 1.68kg/ha+ferbam 76 GF at 5.60kg/ha, ferbam 76GF at 11.21kg/ha, neem oil 90EC at 46.8l/ha, and copper hydroxide DF (40% metallic copper) at 4.48kg metallic copper/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha. Pesticides that were moderately to slightly toxic included: copper sulphate 98% at 4.48kg metallic copper/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, fenbuconazole 2F at 280ml/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, FC 435-66 petroleum oil applied alone at 46.8l/ha or 23.4l/ha, and diflubenzuron 25WP at 1.40kg/ha. Pesticides that were non-toxic included: fenbuconazole 2F at 585ml/ha, malathion 57EC at 5.85l/ha, FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, carbaryl 80S at 3.36kg/ha, chlorpyrifos 4EC at 4.68l/ha, and formetanate 92SP at 1.12kg/ha. Understanding the toxic effects of field weathered pesticides against key predacious mite species is important for effective IPM. The results of this study provide a comparison of direct and indirect toxic effects of various pesticides to A. industani under field conditions. 相似文献

Summary Bacteria with specific temperature sensitive lethal mutations in the gene for the subunit of RNA polymerase synthesize both the and subunits at a several fold higher rate at 42°C than wildtype cells relative to total protein. Synthesis of the and subunits proceeds at essentially the wild-type rates under these conditions. In contrast, a mutant with a temperature sensitive lethal mutation in the subunit gene synthesizes and at 42°C at slightly lower rates than wild-type, while and synthesis is not significantly altered. In all of the mutants at 42°C, newly synthesized subunits are stable, while the , and subunits are rapidly degraded. The apparent uncoupling of from subunit synthesis seen in the mutants at 42°C might suggest that the synthesis of these subunits is at least in part controlled by different mechanisms. 相似文献

The carbohydrate-binding specificity ofPseudomonas aeruginosa lectin I (PA-I) in iodinated or biotinylated form was studied. A large number of glycosphingolipids, as well as some glycoproteins and neoglycoproteins were used as ligands. Also, inhibition by free saccharides of PA-I binding to glycosphingolipids was tested. It was found that the lectin binds most strongly to terminal and nonsubstituted Gal3Gal- or Gal4Gal-structures.Abbreviations PA-I

Idioms of distress refers to the popular expression of emotional tension that arises in the relationship between sickness and kinship. By reference to case studies and discussions among the Polynesian people of Tonga, the author shows where such tension arises and how it influences the sickness process. Sickness is necessarily a collective phenomenon which can best be understood not simply as a clinical event, but as an experience that is part of the experience of family. Various ways of expressing distress as a reflexive encounter between personal and cultural meaning systems are reviewed, as are several new concepts such as doing sickness as kinship, and turning in the process of decision making in the kinship management of sickness. The explanatory models of sickness in Tonga are shown to encompass culturally sanctioned expressions of distress as part of the adaptive coping mechanisms in that society. Distress frequently emerges in somatic form, as a number of studies have shown. However, the author emphasizes the kinship meaning of sickness, kinship management and sickness therapy, the adaptive process of idiomatic expressions of distress, which are expanded here and offered as potential avenues for elaboration in other cultural milieu. Two aspects of the notion idioms of distress are noted, and the phenomenon is understood as a process which acts as a prime mover in social change. 相似文献

We studied the segregation of the genes for 3-hydroxy-C19/21-steroid dehydrogenase types I and II (3-HSD I and II) in a consanguineous family affected with 3-hydroxy-5-C27steroid dehydrogenase (3-OH-C27-SD) deficiency. The results show that the C27 and C19/21 steroid dehydrogenase activities are encoded by distinct genes that are not in genetic linkage. Further kindreds would assist in screening for linkage of 3-OH-C27-SD to other members of the 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase gene family. 相似文献

Benzyladenine (BAP) uptake and metabolism were characterized during the key stages of shoot organogenesis in leaf explants of Petunia MD1. Using leaf explant transfer experiments, it was shown that exposure to 2.2 M BAP for 6, 8 or 10 days induced shoot formation on 27, 80 and 100% of the explants respectively, with a concomitant increase in the number of shoots per explant. BAP uptake and metabolism were characterized in leaf explants after 1, 3, 6 or 10 days exposure to [3H]BAP or 10 days exposure plus an additional 2 days on basal medium (10+2). BAP and 9--D-ribofuranosyl-BAP ([9R]BAP) were detected at days 1 and 3 only. Therefore, the BAP free base was not detectable during the shoot induction period between days 6 and 10, as defined by leaf transfer experiments. The BAP ribotide pool was largest on day 1 and decreased to day 10+2. It is possible that the BAP ribotide pool provided either the active cytokinin itself or acted as a short-term storage form for the active cytokinin in petunia shoot organogenesis. Other metabolites detected in petunia leaf tissue included 7--D-glucopyranosyl-BAP ([7G]BAP), 9--D-glucopyranosyl-BAP ([9G]BAP) and an unidentified metabolite C.Abbreviations BAP

Summary The histochemical activities of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), myofibrillar Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and alpha glycerophosphate dehydrogenase were studied in serial sections of rat vastus lateralis (red) (RVL), gastrocnemius and diaphragm muscles. Three main fibre-types were distinguished. The Type I fibres of RVL and gastrocnemius muscles fell into two distinct groups: one category-Type IA showed very low ATPase activity. The second category of Type IB fibres displayed moderate ATPase reaction. The Type IA fibres were divisible into two sub-groups when tested for SDH reaction. Type IA1 fibres possessed a homogenous distribution of diformazan·granules throughout the fibre: Type IA2 fibres displayed characteristic moth-eaten pattern of diformazan localization. The diaphragm muscle did not show either Type IB or Type IA2 varieties. The great majority of Type I fibres were sub-type IA1 in the three fast muscles studied. It is also demonstrated here that an inherent heterogeneity exists between Type I fibres of diaphragm and leg muscles in regard to -GPD localization. This histochemical data emphasizes the fact that subdivision of Type I striated muscle fibres of mammalian animals into two sub-types is only approximate and that a further subcategorization is possible. 相似文献

Primers were developed for 118 microsatellites isolated from grape (Vitis vinifera) genomic libraries enriched for (AC)n repeats. Only one microsatellite sequence matched other grape SSR-sequences in the GeneBank database. Genotyping was carried out in the parental lines and four offspring of two pseudo-test-cross populations, Cabernet Sauvignon x Seyval and Chardonnay x Bianca, and a further six other grape genotypes (V. vinifera Sultanina, Merlot, Syrah, Müller-Thurgau, Vitis Regent and V. riparia Gloire de Montpellier). A total of 108 microsatellites showed easily scorable alleles and 100 of them segregated according to a configuration suitable for mapping in either cross. A further 8 SSRs, although unsuitable for mapping in those crosses, showed polymorphism in the other genotypes tested. This set of markers was used, along with 75 microsatellites of other repeat-types, to fingerprint 46 offspring of the cross Chardonnay x Bianca. For each full-sib, individual heterozygosity and distance in repeat units between pairs of alleles at each locus (mean d2) were calculated as a tool for predicting highly outbred recombinant individuals. Six microsatellites with segregation ratios significantly distorted towards the lack of homozygous sibs were identified and mapped to linkage groups LG 3 and LG 5. Estimation of heterozygosity at genome-wide level and genotyping at loci for which homozygous sibs are discriminated against are discussed for marker-assisted background selection in outcrossing grapevines. 相似文献

This study provides a critical historical review and analysis of the variety of human expressions which have been erroneously labeled under the grandiose category mass hysteria. It is argued that Western science reductionist approaches to the classification of mass hysteria treat it as an entity to be discovered transculturally, and in their self-fulfilling search for universals systematically exclude what does not fit within the autonomous parameters of its Western-biased culture model, exemplifying what Kleinman (1977) terms a category fallacy. As a result of objectivist methodologies, the etiology of actions labeled as mass hysteria is typically viewed as deviant, irrational or abnormal behavior resulting from a malfunctioning proper social order. However, what constitutes the correct social order is a function of a researcher's historical sociocultural and/or scientific milieu. This study reviews the problem, advocating Geertz's (1973) culturally relativistic approach to understanding various cross-cultural behavior that is sensitive to and tolerant of the unique context and milieu of participants. Mass or epidemic hysteria is viewed as an invention of Western psychiatry and should be abandoned and replaced with the term collective exaggerated emotions. Instead of attempting to discover a neatly packaged, unitary external disease entity, the focus of a meaning-oriented approach emphasizes the deciphering of foreign realities, semantic networks and symbol systems. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Das Zetern der Amseln wurde von 1969 bis 1972 in einem sehr regelmäßig besetzten Revier automatisch registriert. Sowohl das Zetern sämtlicher registrierter Amseln, als auch das Zetern bestimmter Individuen gehorchen den meisten Aschoff'schen Regeln. Zwischen Individuen sind die Zeteranfänge äußerst unterschiedlich, die Zeterenden dagegen nicht. Die individuellen Zeteranfänge reichen in der Vergleichszeit von ca. 50 min bis 20 min vor Sonnenaufgang (Mittelwerte für 1/3 Monat).
The alarm-call activity of the Blackbird
Summary In a very regulary occupied district the alarm-call (Zetern) of blackbirds was automatically recorded from 1969 till 1972. The Zetern of all recorded blackbirds as well as the Zetern of single individuals obey to most of Aschoff's rules. Among the individuals the beginnings of the Zetern are extremly different, but not the endings of the Zetern.The interindividual beginnings of Zetern in the comparable time reach from about 50 min. to about 20 min. before sunrise (mean values for 1/3 of a month).相似文献

-Glucuronidase from callus cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi was purified to apparent homogeneity by fractionated ammonium-sulfate precipitation and chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose, hydroxylapatite and baicalin-conjugated Sepharose 6B. A 650-fold purification was obtained by this purification system. When subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the purified protein migrated as a single band with a molecular mass of 55 kDa. We determined that the native enzyme has a molecular mass of 230 kDa using gel-filtration chromatography. These results suggested that the enzyme exists as a homotetramer composed of four identical 55-kDa subunits. The enzyme showed a broad pH optimum between 7.0 and 8.0. The K
m values were 9 M, 10 M, 30 M and 40 M for luteolin 3 -O--d-glucuronide, baicalin, wogonin 7-O--d-glucoronide and oroxlin 7-O--d-glucuronide, respectively. The enzyme was most active with flavone 7-O--d-glucuronides.Abbreviations BA

Summary Five subunits (-, -, -, - and -subunits) of the six -and -subunits) in the F1 portion (F1ATPase) of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase were isolated by an electrophoretic method. The - and -subunits were not distinguishable immunologically but showed completely different tryptic peptide maps, indicating that they were different molecular species. In vitro protein synthesis with isolated sweet potato root mitochondria produced only the -subunit when analyzed with anti-sweet potato F1ATPase antibody reacting with all the subunits except the -subunit. Sweet potato root poly(A)+RNA directed the synthesis of six polypeptides which were immunoprecipitated by the antibody: two of them immunologically related to the -subunit and the others to the - and -subunits. We conclude that the -subunit of the F1ATPase is synthesized only in the mitochondria and the -, - and -subunits are in the cytoplasm. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Uferschwalben kehren aus den afrikanischen Winterquartieren in Trupps beiderlei Geschlechts zurück. Erste Beringungsergebnisse belegen, daß zunächst mehrjährige, vermutlich untereinander bekannte Vögel eintreffen, die den Brutplatz aus vergangenen Brutperioden her kennen. Die Masse der später ankommenden Vögel dürfte weitgehend aus einjährigen oder ortsfremden Uferschwalben bestehen, die sich größtenteils erst während der Paarbildung persönlich kennenlernen. Der anfängliche Schwarmzusammenhalt der nacheinander eintreffenden Trupps führt zur Bildung von Subkolonien, die für Brutplätze ab einer bestimmten Größenordnung typisch sind. Uferschwalben- gründen nacheinander mehrere Reviere, d. h. sie besetzen Steilwandbereiche, in denen sie ausschließlich mit den Füßen eine Röhre oder Mulde graben, singen und Bogenflüge starten. Bis auf singende oder bekannte werden Artgenossen im Revier geduldet. Uferschwalben- suchen besetzte Reviere auf. Ohne Röhrenbindung verhalten sie sich still und unauffällig, ihre Grabungsaktivitäten sind von untergeordneter Bedeutung. Die Bindung an ein bestimmtes Revier entwickelt sich individuell verschieden und entscheidet über den Abschluß des Röhrenbaues (Herstellung der Nistkammer). Reviere ohne dauerhafte -Bindung werden von den aufgegeben. Aktivitäten, die auf wachsende Revierbindung eines hindeuten, sind: häufige oder/und länger dauernde Aufenthalte des in einem besetzten Revier und sporadisches Mitgraben; aggressives Verhalten gegenüber Artgenossen (i. d. R. fremde ), die im Revier landen wollen; gemeinschaftlicher, leiser Gesang von und im Röhrenbereich. Aktivitäten, die für eine vollzogene Paarbildung sprechen, sind: Fertigstellen der Röhre durch Grabung der Nestkammer; längere gemeinsame Aufenthalte innerhalb und außerhalb der Röhre; Voranfliegen des beim Röhrenanflug; Übernachten von und in der Röhre; Nestbau; ausdauernde Verfolgungsflüge während der Kopulationsphase. Die Paarbildung ist demnach ein individueller Prozeß, bei dem die Aktivitäten der im Revier als Werbung, die der als Revierwahl interpretiert werden.
On pair-formation in the Sand Martin,Riparia riparia
Summary European Sand Martins arrive at their breeding sites in flocks of usually unmated and . Ringing results of a large population in NW-Germany and own observations indicate that the first flocks about a dozen individuals with an approximately balanced sex ratio appear at traditional breeding places and consist of older, experienced resident birds (presumably acquainted with one another). The birds arriving over the next several weeks are mainly first-year or non-resident individuals. The flocks arrive separately in areas with suitable sandcliffs, synchronize the pair-formation activities and avoid disturbances among paired and unpaired birds. This behaviour causes the formation of subcolonies, which are typical for all densely occupied breeding places. Each settles on a fixed area on the sandcliff (territory) in order to excavate a burrow, to sing the territory-song (fig. 2 b) and to perfor the territory-circle-flight (fig. 2 c, 4 a). Silent birds (normally ) are welcomed or tolerated by the resident . The sexes are monomorphic and therefore courtship displays of the are non-aggressive until establishment of pair-bonds. Only intruding singing or individually known neighbouring are driven away, usually at early stages of territory occupation. Unmated are normally shy and very sensitive to protracted disturbances. visit several occupied territories of the colony (fig. 1–3) in order to choose a burrow. leave territories which do not attract a . They settle new territories on the sandcliff, causing a surplus of burrows compared to breeding pairs in the colony. Activities which indicate the development of pair-bonds are: regular visits of a to a particular occupied territory with sporadic excavations by the ; aggressive activities of the towards other visitors usually , but sometimes at first even against the resident (i. e.: vocal threats, bill-gaping, pecking or pushing with the bill or vigorous face-to-face fights, fig. 3 b, 3 c). and sing the soft mating song at or in the burrow (fig. 1 c). Activities which indicate completed pair-bonds are: completion of the burrow by digging the nestchamber, predominantly done by the ; both birds staying together over long periods, both inside and outside the burrow; invitation-flight by the (fig. 4 b); and spending the night together in the burrow; beginning of nest-building, first only by the , then by both birds and finally only by the , accompanied by the (guarding-flight;, fig. 4c); mate-pursuit flights (sexual chases) during copulation phase, in which the singing pursues the silent , often accompanied by other (cp. fig. 4 d). Pair-formation in the Sand Martin occurs on individual territories and not, according toHickling (1959), within the flock.相似文献

We have compared carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDAC) as activating agents for the oligomerization of negatively-charged - and -amino acids in homogeneous aqueous solution. -Amino acids can be oligomerized efficiently using CDI, but not by EDAC. -Amino acids can be oligomerized efficiently using EDAC, but not by CDI. Aspartic acid, an - and -dicarboxylic acid is oligomerized efficiently by both reagents. These results are explained in terms of the mechanisms of the reactions, and their relevance to prebiotic chemistry is discussed. 相似文献

The N-terminal domain (1–318 amino acids) of mouse NFB (p65) has been purified to homogeneity from the soluble fraction of Escherichia coli cells expressing this protein. Its complex with a full-length iB- (MAD3, 1–317 amino acids) molecule was generated by binding the E. coli-derived iB- to the purified NFB and purifying the complex by sequential chromatography. The stoichiometry of NFB to iB in the complex was determined to be 2 to 1 by light scattering and SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The secondary structure of the NFB (p65) determined by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is in good agreement with that of the p50 in the crystal structure of the p50/DNA complex, indicating that no significant structural change in NFB occurs upon binding of DNA. The FTIR spectrum of the NFB/iB complex indicates that its secondary structure is composed of 17% -helix, 39% -strand, 18% irregular structures, and 26% -turns and loops. By comparing these data to the FTIR data for NFB alone, it is concluded that the iB (MAD3) in the complex contains 35% -helix, 27% -strand, 22% irregular structures, and 16% -turns and loops. Circular dichroism (CD) analysis of a shorter form of iB (pp40) indicates that it contains at least 20% -helix and that the iB subunit accounts for nearly all of the -helix present in the NFB/iB complex, consistent with the FTIR results. The stabilities of NFB, iB, and their complex against heat-induced denaturation were investigated by following changes in CD signal. The results indicate that the thermal stability of iB is enhanced upon the formation of the NFB/iB complex. 相似文献
