The bean-pod weevil (BPW), Apion godmani Wagner, often causes heavy losses in crops of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Farmers need resistant bean cultivars to minimize losses, cut production costs, stabilize seed yield, and reduce pesticide use and consequent health hazards. To design effective breeding methods, breeders need new and better sources of resistance and increased knowledge of their modes of inheritance. We therefore: (1) compared sources of resistance to BPW, (2) studied the inheritance of resistance, and (3) determined whether the sources possess similar or different genes for BPW resistance. The following sources of resistance, originating from the Mexican highlands, were evaluated for 3 years at INIFAP-Santa Lucía de Prias, Texcoco, Mexico: Amarillo 153, Amarillo 169, Hidalgo 58, J 117, Pinto Texcoco, Pinto 168, and Puebla 36. All except Puebla 36 were crossed with the susceptible cultivar Jamapa. Amarillo 153 and Puebla 36 were crossed with another susceptible cultivar, Bayo Mex. The parents, F1 hybrids, and F2 populations were evaluated for BPW damage in 1992. Backcrosses of the F1 of Jamapa/Pinto 168 to the respective susceptible and resistant parents were also evaluated in 1992. All seven resistant accessions were crossed in all possible combinations, excluding reciprocals. The resulting 21 F1 hybrids and 21 F2 populations were evaluated for BPW damage in 1994. J 117 had the highest level of resistance to BPW. Pinto Texcoco and Puebla 36 had the highest mean damage score of all seven sources of resistance. The F1 hybrids between susceptible parents and resistant sources were generally intermediate. Two genes segregating independently controlled the BPW resistance in each accession. One gene, Agm, has no effect when present alone, whereas the other gene, Agr, alone conferred intermediate resistance. When both genes were present, resistance to BPW was higher. Based on mean BPW damage scores, all 21 F1 hybrids and their F2 populations, derived from crosses among seven resistant accessions, were resistant. However, data from individual plant damage scores in F2 populations of Amarillo 169/Pinto 168 and Pinto Texcoco/Pinto 168 suggested that at least one gene in each of the three accessions was non-allelic. Data also indicated that Amarillo 169 had a dominant gene that conferred high levels of BPW resistance, irrespective of the alleles at the other locus; and that Pinto Texcoco and Pinto 168 possessed two different genes for intermediate resistance. 相似文献

Summary To identify the mildew resistance locus Mla in barley with molecular markers, closely linked genomic RFLP clones were selected with the help of near-isogenic lines having the Pallas and Siri background. Out of 22 polymorphic clones 3 were located around the Mla locus on chromosome 5 with a distance of 5.1 + 2.9 cM (MWG 1H068), 4.2±1.7 cM (MWG 1H060) and 0.7 ± 0.7 cM (MWG 1H036), respectively. The polymorphic clone MWG 1H036 displayed the same RFLP pattern in both Pallas and Siri near-isogenic lines and in different varieties digested with six restriction enzymes possessing the same mildew resistance gene. The alleles of the Mla locus were grouped in 11 classes according to their specific RFLP patterns; 3 of these groups contain the majority of Mla alleles already used in barley breeding programs in Europe. 相似文献

The distribution of moulds on stored maize, wheat and beans in families affected and unaffected by nephropathy in the endemic area (Endemic nephrophaty — Balkan kidney disease) of middle Posavinain Yugoslavia was studied. Among 3 700 samples of stored grains, no significant difference was noted in the contamination by moulds of samples taken from affected and unaffected families. The predominant moulds on all the samples were storage moulds from the genera Penicillium and Aspergillus, field moulds among which Alternaria and Fusarium were encountered most frequently, and the spoilage moulds Absidia, Mucor, Rhizopus, Trichoderma and Trichothecium. 相似文献

Doubled haploid (DH) progeny from a cross between the scald susceptible barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar Ingrid and the resistant accession CI 11549 (Nigrinudum) was evaluated for resistance in the pathogen Rhynchosporium secalis (Oudem) J.J. Davis. Two linked and incompletely dominant loci confer resistance CI 11549 against isolate 4004. One is an allele at the complex Rrs1 locus on chromosome 3H close to the centromere; the other is located 22 cM distally on the long arm. The latter locus is designated Rrs4. In BC3-lines into Ingrid from CI 2222 (another Nigrinudum) resistance seems governed by one locus close to the telomeric region of chromosome 7H, probably allelic to Rrs2. In neither case did we find any trace of the recessive gene rh8 reported to be present in Nigrinudum. Various resistance donors of Ethiopian origin designated as Nigrinudum, Jet or Abyssinian were identical to a great extent with respect to markers, but differed in resistance to different isolates of scald or in barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) resistance. The implications for their use as differentials in scald tests and screening of germplasm collections are discussed. 相似文献

The seed storage globulins from sixHelianthus and four hybrids were studied using mono and bidimensional gel SDS electrophoresis (+ 2 mercaptoethanol). The polypeptide composition of each subunit was determined. Different pairs are specifically expressed according to the species studied. Three typical patterns were discriminated. All the studied species exhibit five subunits: two of them are expressed in all the species (11 and 22). The subunit corresponding to the 11 pair is present inH. petiolaris and in the three populations ofH. annuus studied. The 2b2 pair is common toH. annuus andH. argophyllus. H. petiolaris presents two specific 2a2 and 44 pairs andH. annuus a specific 33 pair. InH. argophyllus 11 33 or 44 are never observed but are replaced by 13 and 31 pairs. Some globulins, poorly represented, are of forms but present chains of higher molecular weights (in the range 54–56 kDa). Expressing variations in the banding patterns between these species by the use of a similarity index reveals complete identity between the three populations ofH. annuus. Identity between the twoH. petiolaris studied is also observed.H. annuus andH. argophyllus appear to be closer to each other thanH. petiolaris concerning the seed storage globulins. 相似文献

The effect of cycloheximide and puromycin on 20-hydroxyecdysone-induced protein synthesis in wing discs of Drosophila melanogaster has been studied by one-dimensional and two-dimensional SDS polyacrylamide electrophoresis. It is found that puromycin, but not cycloheximide, when applied simultaneously with the hormone enhanced the hormone-induced synthesis of the early and late proteins. However, when puromycin was applied after hormone treatment, only the late proteins were induced. The possible implication of these observations is discussed. 相似文献

The effects of branching and substitution of branches by sialic acid and fucose on the interaction ofN-linked glycopeptides and related oligosaccharides with immobilizedPhaseolus vulgaris leukoagglutinating lectin (L-PHA) were examined. Asialo bi-, tri-and tetra-antennary glycans were all retarded but to different extents on a long column of L-PHA-agarose. Asialo tri- and tetra-antennary glycans containing the pentasaccharide unit Gal1-4GlcNAc1-2[Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6]Man were strongly retarded, whereas asialo bi- and tri-antennary glycans lacking the Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6 branch were only weakly retarded. In all instances the interaction with the lectin was completely abolished when either (2–6)-linkedN-acetylneuraminic acid or (1–3)-linked fucose was present at the galactose orN-acetylglucosamine residue of the Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6Man1-6 branch, respectively. The same substitutions on the Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6Man1-6 branch decreased but did not abolish the affinity of the lectin for the glycans. The presence of NeuAc2-6 and Fuc1-3 on the other two branches did not interfere with the binding of the glycans to L-PHA. Furthermore, it appeared that the presence of the Man1-4GlcNAc unit is requried for interaction with the lectin. In order to obtain reliable information on the relative occurrence of tri- and tetra-antennary glycopeptides, this study shows that it is essential to desialylate and to defucosylate the glycans prior to application to L-PHA-agarose.Abbreviations L-PHA

The age, growth, feeding habits and reproductive biology of Leuciscus svallize in artificial lake Kremasta (Greece), are described. There is a considerable similarity in the feeding and reproductive characteristics between L. svallize and L. cephalus and also a similarity in the life span, growth patterns and age of maturation between L. svallize and some southern L. cephalus populations, which may suggest similar responses of closely related taxa to similar conditions. 相似文献

Summary An exotic Zea mays L. population (Tuxpeno) was adapted to North Carolina conditions by first introducing genes for adaptability from two North Carolina varieties ([(Jarvis X Indian Chief)Tuxpeno]Tuxpeno) including four generations of intermating, and then selecting for adaptability using maturity as the primary measure. The study evaluated selection for adaptability and the diversity available between adapted Tuxpeno and the local varieties, Jarvis and Indian Chief. Analytical procedures were developed to quantify the diversity between populations and the complementation of local varieties by introduced germ plasms. The analyses utilized the specific effects available from the diallel mating design.Three replicate selections responded similarly under simple recurrent mass selection (1/10) for the earliest disease-free plants initially and additionally for plant types (primarily height) in the final generation. The 1/4 local germ plasm permitted rapid adaptation of Tuxpeno gene pool to local conditions. The adapted Tuxpeno populations yielded similarly to the local populations with an average heterosis for grain yield of 28% when crossed to the local populations used as source of genes for adaptability. The diversity found between adapted Tuxpeno lines and these local varieties based on genes affecting grain yield was 1.5 to 2.5 times that measured between the local varieties (Jarvis and Indian Chief). Diversity lost through intergradation with local material was a reasonable investment. Yield genes introduced from Tuxpeno complemented local gene pools through nonadditive, primarily dominance-associated, gene effects. Reassortment of major gene blocks apparently occurred leading to significant divergence among replicate selections involving both additive-associated and dominance-associated gene effects.Paper No. 6355 of the North Carolina Agri.

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

The magnitude of the proton motive force (p) and its constituents, the electrical () and chemical potential (-ZpH), were established for chemostat cultures of a protease-producing, relaxed (rel
–) variant and a not protease-producing, stringent (rel
+) variant of an industrial strain ofBacillus licheniformis (respectively referred to as the A- and the B-type). For both types, an inverse relation of p with the specific growth rate was found. The calculated intracellular pH (pHin) was not constant but inversely related to . This change in pHin might be related to regulatory functions of metabolism but a regulatory role for pHin itself could not be envisaged. Measurement of the adenylate energy charge (EC) showed a direct relation with for glucose-limited chemostat cultures; in nitrogen-limited chemostat cultures, the EC showed an approximately constant value at low and an increased value at higher . For both limitations, the ATP/ADP ratio was directly related to .The phosphorylation potential (G'p) was invariant with . From the values for G'p and p, a variable H+/ATP-stoichiometry was inferred: H+/ATP=1.83+0.52µ, so that at a given H+/O-ratio of four (4), the apparent P/O-ratio (inferred from regression analysis) showed a decline of 2.16 to 1.87 for =0 to max (we discuss how more than half of this decline will be independent of any change in internal cell-volume). We propose that the constancy of G'p and the decrease in the efficiency of energy-conservation (P/O-value) with increasing are a way in which the cells try to cope with an apparent less than perfect coordination between anabolism and catabolism to keep up the highest possible with a minimum loss of growth-efficiency. Protease production in nitrogen-limited cultures as compared to glucose-limited cultures, and the difference between the A- and B-type, could not be explained by a different energy-status of the cells.Abbreviations CCCP

Summary The agglutinin isolated from the seeds of Maclura pomifera (MPA) recognizes a mucin-type disaccharide sequence, Gal13GalNAc (T) on a human erythrocyte membrane. We have utilized the enzyme-linked lectinosorbent assay (ELLSA) and inhibition assay to more systematically analyze the carbohydrate specificity of MPA with glyco-recognition factors and mammalian Gal/GalNAc structural units in lectin–glycoform interactions. From the results, it is concluded that the high densities of polyvalent GalNAc1Ser/Thr (Tn) and Gal13GalNAc1Ser/Thr (T) glycotopes in macromolecules are the most critical factors for MPA binding, being on a nanogram basis 2.0 × 105, 4.6 × 104 and 3.9 × 104 more active than monovalent Gal, monomeric T and Tn glycotope, respectively. Other carbohydrate structural units in mammalian glycoconjugates, such as human blood group Sd (a+) related disaccharide (GalNAc14Gal) and Pk/P1 active disaccharide (Gal14Gal) were inactive. These results demonstrate that the configurations of carbon-4 and carbon-2 are essential for MPA binding and establish the importance of affinity enhancement by high-density polyvalencies of Tn/T glycotopes in MPA–glycan interactions. The overall binding profile of MPA can be defined in decreasing order as high density of polyvalent Tn/T (M.W. > 4.0 × 104) >> Tn-containing glycopeptides (M.W. < 3.0 × 103) > monomeric T/Tn and P (GalNAc13Gal) > GalNAc > Gal >> Man, LAra, DFuc and Glc (inactive). Our findings should aid in the selection of this lectin for elucidating functions of carbohydrate chains in life processes and for applications in the biomedical sciences. 相似文献

Résumé Nous avons fait élever des larves d'Anergates atratulus par des ouvrières deMyrmica laevinodis à 22°C. Pour y parvenir, il n'est pas utile de faire hivernerensemble les larves d'Anergates et les ouvrières deMyrmica. La présence de larves autochtones n'empêche pas lesMyrmica d'élever des larves d'Anergates. Dans toutes les expériences lesMyrmica ont été soumises au fridavant de recevoir des larves d'Anergates. Aucune reine deMyrmica n'a été utilisée dans ces expériences.Sur les 64 larves d'Anergates que nous avons utilisées, 38 se sont transformées en imagos. C'est au début de l'adoption et au moment des métamorphoses que périrent la plupart des 26Anergates perdus. Les femelles vécurent en général 2 ou 3 jours et cherchèrent très tôt à quitter le nid natal. Les mâles vécurent 2 à 3 semaines.
Summary Larvae ofAnergates atratulus were experimentally reared by workers ofMyrmica laevinodis, at 22°C. An overwintering of both larvae ofAnergates and workers ofMyrmica is not necessary for the success of that experiment. The presence of larvae ofMyrmica does not keep theMyrmica from rearing larvae ofAnergates. The workers ofMyrmica have been cooled, in all the experiments, before receiving larvae ofAnergates. No queen ofMyrmica have been used in that experiments.38 of the 64 larvae ofAnergates used became imagos. Most of the 26 lostAnergates died at the beginning of the adoption and during the metamorphosis. The females lived generally 2 or 3 days and tried, very early, to leave their native nest. The males lived 2 or 3 weeks.

Crude extracts or supernatants of broken cells of Clostridium formicoaceticum reduce unbranched, branched, saturated and unsaturated carboxylates at the expense of carbon monoxide to the corresponding alcohols. The presence of viologens with redox potentials varying from E
0=-295 to-650 mV decreased the rate of propionate reduction. The more the propionate reduction was diminished the more formate was formed from carbon monoxide. The lowest propionate reduction and highest formate formation was observed with methylviologen. The carbon-carbon double bond of E-2-methyl-butenoate was only hydrogenated when a viologen was present. Formate as electron donor led only in the presence of viologens to the formation of propanol from propionate. The reduction of propionate at the expense of a reduced viologen can be followed in cuvettes. With respect to propionate Michaelis Menten behavior was observed. Experiments are described which lead to the assumption that the carboxylates are reduced in a non-activated form. That would be new type of biological reduction.Non-standard abbreviations glc

Summary Endopeptidase zymograms of the translocation line Indis revealed the presence of several major and minor bands that had differential expression in coleoptile and seed tissues. While Indis lacks Ep-D1a, which is present in the parental cultivar Inia 66, it also may not express any of the Th. distichum bands. The Indis zymogram was found to be identical to that of an isogenic line of Inia 66 possessing Lr19. Since the absence of an Ep-D1a product appears to be linked to the 7DL translocation, it is possible to use the null condition as a marker for both the Lr19 or Indis translocations. The Indis translocation also did not show recombination with the cn-D1 chlorophyl mutant on 7DL, confirming that a part of 7D was involved. The results of a telocentric mapping experiment involving the 7D telosomes indicated that in Indis a chromosome segment from Th. distichum replaced a large section of 7DL of Inia 66. 相似文献

Summary Two-hexameric (2×6) hemocyanins from the brachyuran crabsCancer pagurus andCallinectes sapidus, the freshwater crayfishAstacus leptodactylus and the lobsterHomarus americanus were isolated and dissociated into native subunits.The subunits of each hemocyanin were analyzed by electrophoresis and immunology. Three immunologically distinct subunit types, which were termed, and, could be identified in each case. They were isolated preparatively, and interspecifically correlated. Subunit is subdivided into several electrophoretically distinct isoforms which are immunologically closely related (Astacus) or identical (other species). InAstacus andCancer one of these isoforms was shown to dimerize and to act as inter-hexamer bridge. It represents a fourth subunit type termed. A fifth, diffuse component, which in PAGE migrated at the position of a dimer, was identified in the crossed immunoelectrophoretic patterns as denatured hemocyanin.A common feature of the four hemocyanins is the presence of 4 copies of and 8 copies of/ within the 2×6 particles. The: ratio is 4:4 in the two Astacidea and 6:2 in the two Brachyura. exists in 2 copies inAstacus andCancer which means that a single dimer- is present in a two-hexamer. This leaves 2 monomeric copies inAstacus and 4 inCancer.Every subunit from the four species except ofAstacus
- was capable to form hexamers in reassembly experiments. If subunit combinations were tested, hetero-hexamers were formed preferentially. Two-hexamers were reconstituted only in the presence of all subunit types and the native subunit stoichiometry was required to obtain twohexamers in considerable yields. Factors limiting 2×6 reassembly are discussed.Authentic 2×6 molecules ofAstacus, Homarus andCancer hemocyanin were immunolabeled with subunit-specific antibody fragments (Fab) or IgG molecules, and the resulting immuno complexes were studied in the electron microscope. A topological model of the quaternary structure of decapod 2×6 hemocyanins is derived, showing the position of each copy of the four subunit types. In this model, the inter-hexamer bridge- is surrounded by two and two subunits forming the central core of the dodecamer. Two additional and two additional subunits form the periphery together with one subunit occupying the peripheral short edges of each hexameric half structure. The model is discussed with respect to the current literature.Abbreviations

Strain B51 capable of degrading polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) was isolated from soil contaminated with wastes from the chemical industry. Based on its morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, the strain was identified as a Microbacterium sp. Experiments with washed cells showed that strain B51 is able to degrade ortho- and para-substituted mono-, di-, and trichlorinated biphenyls (MCB, DCB, and TCB, respectively). Unlike the known PCB degraders, Microbacterium sp. B51 is able to oxidize the ortho-chlorinated ring of 2,2-DCB and 2,4-DCB and the para-chlorinated ring of 4.4-DCB. The degradation of 2,4-DCB and 4,4-DCB was associated with the accumulation of 4-chlorobenzoic acid (4-CBA) in the medium in amounts comprising 80–90% of the theoretical yield. The strain was able to utilize 2-MCB, 2,2-DCB, and their intermediate 2-CBA and to oxidize the mono(ortho)-chlorinated ring of 2,4,2-TCB and the di(ortho-para)-chlorinated ring of 2,4,4-TCB. A mixed culture of Microbacterium sp. B51 and the 4-CBA-degrading bacterium Arthrobacter sp. H5 was found to grow well on 1 g/l 2,4-DCB as the sole source of carbon and energy. 相似文献

-Dialkylamino acid aminotransferase was found in various fungi; this is the first evidence for the occurrence of the enzyme in eukaryotes. The enzyme was purified from Fusarium solani and shown to be composed of four subunits with an identical molecular weight of 42,000. -Aminoisobutyrate and cycloleucine served as amino donors, and pyruvate, -ketobutyrate, -ketovalerate, -ketoisovalerate, and glyoxylate as amino acceptors. The K
m values for -aminoisobutyrate and -ketobutyrate were 28 and 0.3 mM, respectively. -Ketobutyrate inhibited the enzyme noncompetitively with -aminoisobutyrate, and showed K
i value of 8 mM. The significant inhibitory effect of l-cycloserine was observed, but d-cycloserine did not inhibit the enzyme. The pH and temperature optima for transamination of -aminoisobutyrate with pyruvate were about 8.0 and 60°C, respectively. Despite the production of this enzyme by the mesophile, the enzyme was thermostable; it retained its full activity upon heating at 60°C for 30 min.Abbreviations ACPC

Summary Genetic analysis for leaf rust reaction of two widely adapted cultivars, Sonalika and WL 711, has been done using 21 near isogenic Lr lines and rust culture IL004 — avirulent on the two cultivars and all the Lr lines used. The segregation pattern in the F2 generation indicated the presence of a recessive gene in Sonalika and of a dominant gene in WL 711. These genes in cultivars Sonalika and WL 711 have been identified as Lr 11 and Lr 13, respectively. Gene Lr 13 is no longer effective in WL 711 but it continues to give field resistance in the backgrounds of Chris, Prelude and Thatcher. There has been no significant change in the virulence spectrum of the leaf rust pathogen in India with the release of WL 711. High susceptibility of WL 711 seems to be due to the evolution of more aggressive forms of the pathogen to this cultivar. The gene Lr 11, which behaves as a recessive in Sonalika, was effective against leaf rust when this cultivar was released. The high susceptibility of Sonalika is probably due to an increase in the frequency of race 77 virulent on Lr 11. Lr 11 has shown a dominance reversal in the background of Sonalika. Present results suggest that interaction of resistance genes with the background genotype must be studied for their effective use in breeding programme. 相似文献
