Influence of Temperature and Light Conditions on Germination,Growth and Conidiation of Oidium neolycopersici

The effect of temperature and light conditions (spectral quality, intensity and photoperiod) on germination, development and conidiation of tomato powdery mildew (Oidium neolycopersici) on the highly susceptible tomato cv. Amateur were studied. Conidia germinated across the whole range of tested temperatures (10–35°C); however, at the end‐point temperatures, germination was strongly limited. At temperatures slightly lower than optimum (20–25°C), mycelial development and time of appearance of the first conidiophores was delayed. Conidiation occurred within the range of 15–25°C, however was most intense between 20–25°C. Pathogen development was also markedly influenced by the light conditions. Conidiation and mycelium development was greatest at light intensities of approximately 60 μmol/m² per second. At lower intensities, pathogen development was delayed, and in the dark, conidiation was completely inhibited. A dark period of 24 h after inoculation had no stimulatory effect on later mycelium development. However, 12 h of light after inoculation, followed by continuous dark, resulted in delayed mycelium development and total restriction of pathogen conidiation (evaluated 8 days postinoculation). When a longer dark period (4 days) was followed by normal photoperiod (12 h/12 h light/dark), mycelium development accelerated and the pathogen sporulated normally. When only inoculated leaf was covered with aluminium foil while whole plant was placed in photoperiod 12 h/12 h, the intensive mycelium development and slight subsequent sporulation on covered leaf was recorded.     

Direct and indirect inhibition of Th1 development by progesterone and glucocorticoids.

Progesterone may contribute to the maternal suppression of immunity to the fetus by modulating the Th1/Th2 balance. To clarify whether progesterone directly or indirectly affects T cell differentiation, we used two experimental systems with isolated T cells in vitro. In one system, isolated CD4+CD8+thymocytes differentiated into Th1 and Th2 by two pulse stimulations with defined combinations of ionomycin and PMA followed by the treatment with IL-12, IL-4, and IL-2. In the second system, functional differentiation was induced in purified naive CD4 T cells with cytokines and Abs to CD3 and CD28. In both systems, progesterone added with cytokines suppressed Th1 development at concentrations associated with pregnancy, but enhanced the development of IL-10-producing Th2 cells. Because IL-10 is known to inhibit APC production of IL-12, Th1 development may be also suppressed indirectly by progesterone. However, progesterone failed to enhance IL-10 production in the absence of IL-12. The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor SB203580 inhibited Th1 development and enhanced Th2 development, as did progesterone, indicating that p38 MAPK and extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathways are involved in Th1 development. However, the progesterone effects may not be simply due to a modulation of MAPK activities, because the inhibitor did not significantly affect the development of IL-10-producing cells in the presence or absence of progesterone. Glucocorticoids exerted effects similar to those of progesterone on Th1/Th2 development even at lower concentrations. These results suggest that progesterone as well as glucocorticoids directly inhibit Th1 development and enhance Th2 development.     

Wing morph development and reproduction of the ectoparasitoid Melittobia digitata: nutritional and hormonal effects

Manipulation studies of the temporal availability of nutrients during parasitoid larval development (high‐quality host vs. host deprivation) demonstrated that parasitoid access to nutrition affected the wing morph development of Melittobia digitata Dahms (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), but not the parasitoid's ovarian development. Around 70% of programmed short wing morph larvae (SWM) that had been host‐deprived at 120 h after host parasitization shifted their development and emerged as long wing morphs (LWM). A reversion in morph development of programmed LWM was also found when the larvae were offered new hosts after up to 120 h of development, and both programmed SWM or LWM larvae that differentiated as SWMs had a similar egg load. Although precocene treatment of programmed SWM induced 30% of LWM development, morph development of programmed LWM remained unaltered if treated with methoprene, a juvenile hormone analogue (JHA), indicating that the morph development of M. digitata does not appear to be under juvenile hormone control. However, both precocene and JHA affected the ovarian development of the emerging female. We hypothesize that specific nutrients from the host hemolymph, or changes in the host internal composition at the parasitoid larval sensitive stage (120–123 h) induce changes in pathways that control parasitoid metabolism and nutrient allocation decisions during the cell growth and development of imaginal discs.

Differential effects of NgCAM and N-cadherin on the development of axons and dendrites by cultured hippocampal neurons

A fundamental step in neuronal development is the acquisition of a polarized form, with distinct axons and dendrites. Although the ability to develop a polarized form appears to be largely an intrinsic property of neurons, it can be influenced by environmental cues. For example, in cell cultures substrate and diffusible factors can enhance and orient axonal development. In this study we examine the effects of growth on each of two cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), NgCAM and N-cadherin, on the development of polarity by cultured hippocampal neurons. We find that although the same pattern of development occurs on control substrates and the CAMs, the CAMs greatly accelerate the rate and extent of development of axons—axons form sooner and grow longer on the CAMs than on the control substrate. In contrast, the CAMs have opposite effects on dendritic development—N-cadherin enhances, but NgCAM reduces dendritic growth compared to control. These results provide further evidence that the development of polarity is largely determined by a cell-autonomous program, but that environmental cues can independently regulate axonal and dendritic growth.     

Cellular and molecular mechanisms of development of the external genitalia

The limb and external genitalia are appendages of the body wall. Development of these structures differs fundamentally in that masculine development of the external genitalia is androgen dependent, whereas development of the limb is not. Despite this fundamental difference in developmental regulation, epithelial-mesenchymal interactions play key roles in the development of both structures, and similar regulatory molecules are utilized as mediators of morphogenetic cell-cell interactions during development of both the limb and external genitalia. Given the relatively high incidence of hypospadias, a malformation of penile development, it is appropriate and timely to review the morphological, endocrine, and molecular mechanisms of development of the genital tubercle (GT), the precursor of the penis in males and the clitoris in females. Morphological observations comparing development of the GT in humans and mouse emphasize the validity of the mouse as an animal model of GT development and validate the results of experimental studies. Accordingly, the use of mutant mice provides important insights into the roles of specific regulatory molecules in development of the external genitalia. While our current understanding of the morphological and molecular mechanisms of mammalian external genitalia development is still rudimentary, this review summarizes the current state of our knowledge and whenever possible draws from the rich experimental embryology literature on other relevant organs such as the developing limb. Future research on the hormonal and molecular mechanisms of GT development may yield strategies to prevent or reduce the incidence of hypospadias and to elucidate the molecular genetic mechanisms of GT morphogenesis, especially in relation to common organogenetic pathways utilized in other organ systems.

Integration of biomolecules and nanomaterials: towards highly selective and sensitive biosensors

Significant efforts have been made toward the development of high-performance biosensors for various applications. Advances in nanotechnology have resulted in the development of highly sensitive electrochemical sensing devices. It is believed that highly sensitive and selective biosensors can be realized through the integration of biomolecules and nanomaterial-based sensor platforms. Numerous articles have described combining biomolecules as recognition elements with nanotechnology for the development of biosensors with enhanced selectivity and sensitivity. Recent advances in the development of biosensors through the integration of biomolecules with nanotechnology are reviewed in this article.     

Prelinguistic development of children and chimpanzees

What was unique about our laboratory was the detailed simulation of a human rearing environment for infant chimpanzees, together with continuous, intensive observation and recording of behavioral development. Communication in American Sign Language (ASL) was integrated into this procedure in a way that simulates the teaching of vocal and gestural languages to human children. The result is a comprehensive longitudinal record of the stage by stage development of two-way communication in sign language and its relation to basic aspects of behavioral development such as: locomotion, manipulative skills, observational learning, and social play. In the longitudinal records of five infant chimpanzees, we can trace the patterns of development and also examine the consistency of individual differences through the first five years. The central question is the relation between developing skills in the use of American Sign Language and the rest of behavioral development. To analyze factors that influence development, we have compared records for infant chimpanzees reared in the crossfostering laboratory with records for chimpanzees reared in the wild by their own mothers and chimpanzees reared in cages under conventional laboratory conditions, as well as with records of development for human children, reared in homes and reared in institutions.     

The biological and chronological maturation of early hominids

Recent studies on the rate and pattern of dental development indicate that the growth and maturation of early hominids were more similar to the extant apes than to modern humans. This contrasts with the previously held opinion derived from combined dental development, pattern and attrition studies claiming that early hominids were more hominine in their development (Mann, 1975). This paper explores the origin of this difference of opinion and reviews immature hominid dentitions with the benefit of improved radiographs and new data on the pattern and rate of pongid dental development. Paranthropus and Australopithecus specimens are shown to possess an ape-like development pattern but incisor development is specialized in the former and superficially human-like in pattern. The present and recent studies on dental development rate and pattern justify the position that early hominids were more ape-like in their growth and development. Therefore, ages at death calculated from pongid dental development schedules are provided for most immature early hominids. More detailed studies of early hominid developmental biology are now possible. It is suggested that divergent heterochronic processes characterize changes in brain/body proportions during hominid evolution. Relative rates of bone remodeling processes can now be identified on early hominid skeletons. The paleodemographic analysis of early hominids is little changed by the developmental model one chooses.     

Cytochemistry of Oogenesis and Early Embryonic Development

Cytochemical investigations on oocyte development, fertilizationand early embryonic development have been reviewed. Inter andintra-group variability in the succession of metabolic phaseswas considered with respect to selection pressures which inturn appeared to modulate phases. Quantitative investigationswere particularly considered. In early development, attention was focused on changes in thechromosomal organization which might reflect on control of development.Some of the unusual forms of chromosomal organizations in earlydevelopment were discussed. Cytochemical studies have not offered any insights into precociousdifferentiation, but they have added substantially to the understandingof chemical and organizational changes during oogenesis andearly development.     

Effect of inhibitors and uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation during compaction and blastulation of bovine embryos cultured in vitro

The effect of inhibiting ATP production via oxidative phosphorylation during pericompaction of in vitro produced bovine embryos was investigated. This was achieved by: (i) varying the atmospheric O2 concentration (0, 1, 2, 4 and 7%); (ii) addition of oxidative phosphorylation inhibitors, NaN3 and antimycin A; and (iii) addition of 2,4-dinitrophenol, an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation from electron transport. The development of embryos under various O2 concentrations from day 5 to day 7 of development indicated that an optimal concentration occurred at about 2%. Addition of NaN3 revealed that doses above 100 mumol l-1 were toxic to embryo development, but that concentrations of 5-10 mumol l-1 stimulated embryo development by 10-25%. A similar result was observed after addition of 2,4-dinitrophenol, whereas antimycin A was inhibitory at doses as low as 1 mumol l-1. At concentrations of NaN3 or 2,4-dinitrophenol that stimulated embryo development, the number of cells of the resulting blastocysts was also significantly increased. Addition of NaN3 from day 1 of development inhibited subsequent development. Metabolic data of NaN3-treated embryos revealed that O2 uptake was significantly lower at inhibitory doses (100 mumol l-1). A significant (P < 0.05) log linear increase in glucose uptake was measured between the three concentrations of NaN3 (0, 10 and 100 mumol l-1). These results demonstrate that ATP production via oxidative phosphorylation is essential for bovine embryo development in vitro. However, transient (subacute) inhibition appears to be beneficial to embryo development and the number of cells, perhaps by creating a more favourable intracellular environment.

Hormonal Control of Differentiation of Shoots, Roots and Embryos in Leaf and Stem Cultures of Petunia inflata and Petunia hybrida

Factors influencing adventitious bud and root development, callus induction and embryogenesis were investigated in stem and leaf cultures of Petunia inflata R. E. Fries and Petunia hybrida cv. Cascade and cv. Rose du ciel grown on a synthetic nutrient medium. Indoleacetic acid caused limited callus development and root formation whereas naphthaleneacetic acid Induced abundant roots. 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid promoted callus growth and differentiation of embryos which eventually developed into plantlets. Cytokinins such as benzyladenine, zeatin and kinetin induced bud development. A combination of auxins and cytokinins caused an interaction which was manifested in altered morphogenetic response. Thus 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in conjunction with benzyladenine caused suppression of bud development and retarded differentiation of embryos. Likewise, when benzyladenine was used with indoleacetic acid root development was totally inhibited and abundant buds were produced.
