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

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

Results of this investigation demonstrate that exposure to 17 -estradiol differentially and significantly regulates cortical nerve cell outgrowth depending on the cortical region. Parietal and occipital neurons treated with 1 nM 17 -estradiol showed a greater magnitude of neuronal outgrowth whereas outgrowth of temporal cortex neurons was decreased in the presence of 1 nM 17 -estradiol. Frontal cortex neurons showed a consistent enhancement of neuronal outgrowth that did not reach statistical significance. The dose response profile for 17 -estradiol regulation of the macromorphological features exhibited a bimodal dose response relationship whereas the dose response profile for 17 -estradiol regulation of the micromorphological features exhibited a dose response more characteristic of an inverted V-shaped function. An antagonist to the NMDA receptor antagonist, AP5, abolished the growth promoting effect of 17 -estradiol whereas the nuclear estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780 did not. Lastly, neocortical neurons exposed to 17 -estradiol exhibited greater viability and survival than control neurons over a two week period. These data indicate that 17 -estradiol can enhance the growth and viability of select populations of neocortical neurons and that the growth promoting effects of 17 -estradiol can be blocked by an antagonist to the NMDA glutamate receptor and not by an antagonist to the estrogen nuclear receptor. 相似文献

T-cell clones expressing the T-cell receptor (Tcr) were generated from peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and from a thymus sample. In the panel of ten thymus-derived clones, four Tcr phenotypes [as defined by the reaction of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against known V and V regions] were identified. All the clones lacked expression of the V3 V region, while seven clones were V1+ . V1 was found in combination with V9 or with undefined VVregions. In addition, two other Tcr phenotypes were identified on these clones: V9+ V1– V3– and V9– V1– V3– One of the clones expressed CD4 and another was CD8positive. The remaining clones were CD4– CD8–. In the panel of 76 PBL-derived, Tcr-bearing clones, five Tcr phenotypes could be identified. In contrast to the thymus-derived clones, 30% of the clones were V3+ whereas V1 was expressed by a minority of the clones only. One clone was CD4-positive and approximately 30% of the clones were CD8-positive. Four of the five mAb-defined Tcr phenotypes could be identified on both thymus and PBL-derived T-cell clones. However, biochemical analysis of the Tcrs demonstrates differences in the usage of Ct- and C2-encoded y chains by T cells derived from the thymus and PBLs. The results therefore indicate that, at the clonal level, similarities and differences exist between the Tcr repertoires expressed in the thymus and by PBLs. Furthermore, they indicate that combinatorial Tcr heterogeneity is larger than has so far been described. The receptor diversity, combined with the potential of Tcr+ cells to express CD4 or CD8, indicates that these cells are a heterogeneous population that might mediate a number of immune functions. 相似文献

Isolated intact eyespot apparatuses, the photoreceptive organelles involved in blue-light-mediated photoresponses of flagellate green algae, were analyzed regarding their carotenoid composition. Carotenoids from the eyespot apparatuses of Spermatozopsis similis were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography, visible-light absorption spectra, mass spectroscopy and by 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (carotenes), and compared with those of whole-cell extracts. Both extracts contained ,-carotene, ,-carotene (formerly -carotene), lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, violaxanthin and all-E-and 9-Z-neoxanthin. The relative carotenoid compositions, however, differed significantly. A twofold relative increase in the total carotene level was evident in the fraction enriched in eyespot apparatuses. This was mainly due to an increase in the monocyclic ,-carotene and the aliphatic lycopene, whereas the relative content of ,-carotene remained unchanged. On the other hand a relative decrease in the total xanthophyll content, especially of lutein and the epoxidic carotenoid neoxanthin, was observed in the eyespot apparatuses compared with the whole-cell extracts. The decrease of the latter resulted almost solely from a reduction of the 9-Z-rather than the all-E-isomer. The bulk of the carotenes is thought to be localized in the highly organized eyespot lipid globules, which act as a combined quarter-wave interference reflector and absorption screen for the photoreceptor in green algae. The enrichment of ,-carotene and lycopene in the eyespot apparatuses, extending the range of visible light absorption to longer wavelengths, represents an adaptation of the screen to the retinal-based photoreceptor of flagellate green algae and is one of the prerequisites for maximal directional sensitivity of the eyespot apparatus.Abbreviations

Growth and oxygen uptake of potato callus is faster in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere (70% oxygen, v/v; oxygen-callus) than in air (20% oxygen, v/v; air-callus). Especially the non-mitochondrial, so-called residual respiration is increased in oxygen-callus. The capacities of the mitochondrial respiratory pathways (cytochrome pathway, Vcyt and alternative pathway, Valt) are also higher in this callus. In both callus types only a small part of the alternative pathway capacity is used in uninhibited respiration. The lower oxygen uptake of air-callus at normal air oxygen pressures is partially due to diffusional impedance. Measurement of the respiratory parameters of air-callus in oxygen-saturated medium leads to higher values than measurement in air-saturated medium, although these values are still lower than those of oxygen-callus.ATP-production was calculated from the oxygen-uptake data and compared with the dry weight production of the callus to give values of 10.0 and 10.8 g dry weight produced.-mol ATP-1, for air-callus and oxygen-callus respectively. As no harmful side-effects are observed, cultivation of callus under elevated oxygen pressures may be useful, when rapid callus-growth is necessary.Abbreviations AA

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

Summary On exposure to high temperature of a temperature-sensitive RNA polymerase subunit (rpoC92) mutant of Escherichia coli, selective reduction was observed in the rate of synthesis of a group of proteins including RNA polymerase subunit. The finding that the synthesis of subunit but not subunit was specifically repressed in this mutant grown at non-permissive temperature indicates that the functionally intact RNA polymerase is required for the synthesis of subunits be coordinated. In addition, the assembly of newly synthesized RNA polymerase subunits was inefficient in this mutant at the steps where altered subunit was involved, and the unassembled enzyme subunits were rapidly and preferentially degraded. During recovery to non-restricted growth, the synthesis of both and subunits was transiently enhanced in parallel leading to recovery of the intracellular concentration of functional RNA polymerase. 相似文献

Net N input and riverine N export from Illinois agricultural watersheds with and without extensive tile drainage 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
Some of the largest riverine N fluxes in the continental USA have been observed in agricultural regions with extensive artificial subsurface drainage, commonly called tile drainage. The degree to which high riverine N fluxes in these settings are due to high net N inputs (NNI), greater transport efficiency caused by the drainage systems, or other factors is not known. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of tile drainage by comparing NNI and riverine N fluxes in regions of Illinois with similar climate and crop production practices but with different intensities of tile drainage. Annual values of NNI between 1940 and 1999 were estimated from county level agricultural production statistics and census estimates of human population. During 1945–1961, riverine nitrate flux in the extensively tile drained region averaged 6.6kgNha–1year–1 compared to 1.3 to 3.1kgNha–1 for the non-tile drained region, even though NNI was greater in the non-tile drained region. During 1977–1997, NNI to the tile-drained region had increased to 27kgNha–1year–1 and riverine N flux was approximately 100% of this value. In the non-tile-drained region, NNI was approximately 23kgNha–1year–1 and riverine N flux was between 25% and 37% of this value (5 to 9kgNha–1year–1). Denitrification is not included in NNI and, therefore, any denitrification losses from tile-drained watersheds must be balanced by other N sources, such as depletion of soil organic N or underestimation of biological N fixation. If denitrification and depletion of soil organic N are significant in these basins, marginal reductions in NNI may have little influence on riverine N flux. If tile drained cropland in Illinois is representative of the estimated 11 million ha of tile drained cropland throughout the Mississippi River Basin, this 16% of the drainage area contributed approximately 30% of the increased nitrate N flux in the Lower Mississippi River that occurred between 1955 and the 1990s. 相似文献

Summary The total pigment and astaxanthin content ofPhaffia rhodozyma increased with increasing concentrations -pinene up to 500 l -pinene/l. Above this concentration the total pigment and astaxanthin content as well as the biomass production decreased. The addition of 500 l -pinene/l increased the total pigment content from 1652 g/g to 2201 g/g and the astaxanthin content from 1554 g/g to 1883 g/g. A sharp decrease in maximum specific growth rate occurred above 150 l -pinene/l. 相似文献

Summary In spite of the generally well-coordinated synthesis of RNA polymerase core enzyme subunits (, and ) in Escherichia coli, a situation was found during the growth transition from exponential to stationary phase in which this coordination was broken (the order of differential repression being ; Kawakami et al. (1979)). The present study indicates that, during a certain period of the growth transition, twice as much subunit is synthesized as subunit and the overproduced subunit accumulates as the assembly intermediate 2 complex, which is rapidly and preferentially degraded.Two independent factors, i.e., carbon source down-shift and oxygen depletion, were examined separately for their influence on the coordinated regulation of the synthesis of RNA polymerase subunits. The depletion of glucose added as a sole carbon source was accompanied by repression of the synthesis of all core enzyme subunits, while under the same conditions the differential rate of subunit synthesis increased. In contrast, the sudden ending of the oxygen supply resulted in specific repression of the synthesis of only and subunits but not of and subunits. The latter result may be explained by the autogenous repression of the rpoBC genes by a temporal increase in the amount of unused cytoplasmic RNA polymerase.Paper XI in this series is Kawakami and Ishihama (1980) 相似文献

Summary
Phytophthora infestans has three kinds of somatic nuclei: an oval shaped nucleus (approx. 3.1×2.7 ) which stains diffusely except for a crescent shaped Feulgen positive cap which stains intensely; a granular nucleus whose contents are organized into a fairly constant number of stained bodies, and, a deeply staining condensed nucleus. The capped nucleus is thought to be metabolic or resting and the granular nucleus is thought to be dividing as it is most commonly found in hyphal tips. Attenuated forms of all three kinds of nuclei are found.Nuclear division is mitotic and intranuclear. Eight—ten chromosomes are seen at metaphase.Sporangia have a mean of 6.3 nuclei which is constant for age and strain of culture. Sporangia become multinucleate as a result of nuclear migration and not by division in the developing sporangium. Zoospores are usually uninucleate.The nuclear cap is persistent throughout nuclear division when it also divides. It is associated with flagella production and nuclear migration and has some of the properties of a blepharoplast. 相似文献

The primary structure of Rose-ringed Parakeet hemoglobin -chain was established, completing the analysis of this hemoglobin. Comparisons with other avian -chains show variations smaller than those for the corresponding -chains. There are 11 amino acid exchanges in relationship to the only other characterized psittaciform -chain, and a total of 35 positions are affected by differences among all avian -chains analyzed (versus 61 for the -chains). At three positions, the Psittacula -chain has residues unique to this species. Three 11 contacts are modified, by substitutions at positions 51, 116, and 125. 相似文献

Summary A simple system was developed to investigate the deposition of lignin and synthesis occurring in response to mechanical wounding in the woody angiospermEucalyptus gunnii Hook. The spatiotemporal deposition of these phenolic polymers was histochemically characterized in stem tissue through a combination of fluorescent microscopy and specific stains. Lignin and suberin deposition was detectable 24 h post wounding in the xylem wound zone and by 3 days post wounding in the bark wound zone where a welldeveloped necrophylactic (wound) periderm could be observed by 7 days post wounding. Close examination suggests that the spatial reinforcement of cell walls with lignin and/or suberin is carefully orchestrated so as to rapidly produce an effective protective barrier. Specific lignin colour reactions indicate that the lignin formed in response to wounding in both the bark and xylem wound zones is relatively poor in syringyl monomers as compared to that of developmental xylem lignin.Abbreviations P-HCl

Zusammenfassung In der Epiphyse von Bombina kommen durch synaptic ribbons gekennzeichnete Synapsen und konventionelle Synapsen vor. Bei den ribbon-Synapsen handelt es sich um axodendritische und axosomatische Formen. Die axodendritischen ribbon-Synapsen lassen sich aufgrund der Zahl der Dendriten und der synaptic ribbons in 2 Typen gliedern. Es kommen Dendriten vor, die nacheinander in ribbon-Synapsen und konventionelle Synapsen einbezogen sind. Neben konventionellen und durch ribbons gekennzeichneten synaptischen Verbindungen finden sich weitere Kontakte zwischen Sinnes- und Nervenzellen und Interrezeptorkontakte, die jedoch beide nicht als echte Synapsen angesprochen werden können. Anhand der Befunde zur Synaptologie werden Probleme der neuronalen Schaltung der Epiphyse diskutiert.Beim Acetylcholinesterase-Nachweis findet sich das Reaktionsprodukt vor allem in den Neuropilzonen der Epiphyse. Eine eindeutige Zuordnung zu Fortsätzen bestimmter Zelltypen ist nicht möglich. Das Ergebnis des Acetylcholinesterase-Nachweises in der Epiphyse wird mit entsprechenden Befunden in anderen Bereichen des ZNS und in der Netzhaut verglichen.
The forms of synapses and the occurrence of acetylcholinesterase in the Pineal Organ of Bombina variegata (L.), (Anura)
Summary Both conventional and ribbon synapses occur in the pineal organ of Bombina. Ribbon synapses are both axodendritic and axosomatic. Two axodendritic types can be distinguished on the basis of the number of dendrites and synaptic ribbons. Both conventional and ribbon synapses can be formed with the same dendrite. Other contacts, which cannot be classified as true synapses, are also found between sensory cells and nerve cells and likewise between sensory cells. The synaptology of the pineal organ permits a discussion of the problems of its neurocircuitry.Products of the acetylcholinesterase reaction occur mainly in the plexiform layer of the pineal organ. It is not possible to correlate the reaction products with definite cell types. The results of the acetylcholinesterase reaction in the pineal is compared with corresponding findings in other parts of the CNS and in the retina of the lateral eyes.

A broad-host-range plasmid (pEA2-21) containing a Bradyrhizobium sp (F-4) nod DABC-lacZ translation fusion was constructed and used to monitor nod gene expression in response to pigeonpea root exudate. Two nod-inducing compounds were isolated and identified. Spectral analysis using ultraviolet absorption, infrared spectra, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry showed that the two inducers were 5,4-dihydroxy-6-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-2, 2-dimethyl pyrano-[5, 6:7, 8]-flavanone (cajaflavanone) and 2,4,5-trihydroxy-5-isopentenyl-6, 7-dimethylchromene iso-flavanone (cajanone). When pEA2-21 was introduced into Rhizobium trifolii and R. meliloti cajanone and cajaflavanone did not induce nod gene indicating that specificity of induction appears to be influenced by the host-strain genome. 相似文献

Deposition of amyloid peptide in human brain in the form of senile plaques is a neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimers disease (AD). Levels of a phospholipid breakdown product, glycerophosphocholine (GPC), also increase in AD brain. The effect of GPC on amyloid (1–40) peptide (A) aggregation in PBS buffer was investigated by circular dichroism and fluoresence spectroscopy; interactions of A and GPC with the intact erythrocyte membrane was examined by fluoresence spectroscopy. Fluorescamine labeled A studies indicate GPC enhances A aggregation. CD spectroscopy reveals that A in the presence of GPC adopts 14% more -sheet structure than does A alone. Fluorescamine anisotropy measurements show that GPC and A interact in the phospholipid head-group region of the erythrocyte membrane. In summary, both soluble A and GPC insert into the phospholipid head-group region of the membrane where they interact leading to -sheet formation in soluble A which enhances A aggregation. 相似文献

Mild cerebral anoxic/ischemic/stress insults promote tolerance and thereby protect the brain from subsequent lethal anoxic/ischemic insults. We examined whether specific activation of PKC , , , or isoforms is associated with ischemic preconditioning (IPC) in rat brain. IPC was produced by a 2-minute global cerebral ischemia. Membrane and cytosolic fractions of the hippocampi were immunoblotted using specific antibodies for PKC, , , and . PKC showed a significant translocation to the membrane fraction from 30 min to 4 h and PKC at 4 h following IPC. In contrast, the membrane/cytosol ratio of PKC showed a tendency to decrease at 30 min and 8 h, and the membrane/cytosol ratio of PKC was significantly decreased from 30 min to 24 h following IPC. These findings indicate PKC isoform-specific membrane translocations in the hippocampus after brief global brain ischemia and suggest that activation of PKC and PKC may be associated with IPC-induced tolerance in the rat hippocampus. 相似文献

A novel linear tetrasaccharide, Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc, was isolated from partial acid hydrolysates of metabolically labeled poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans of murine teratocarcinoma cells. It was characterized by exo-glycosidase sequencing and by mild acid hydrolysis followed by identification of all partial cleavage products. The tetrasaccharide, and likewise labelled GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc, resisted the action of endo--galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.103) fromE. freundii at a concentration of 125 mU/ml, while the isomeric, radioactive teratocarcinoma saccharides Gal1-4GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc and GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc were cleaved in the expected manner.Abbreviations WGA
