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 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.

The use of the computer metaphor has led to the proposal of mind architecture (Pylyshyn 1984; Newell 1990) as a model of the organization of the mind. The dualist computational model, however, has, since the earliest days of psychological functionalism, required that the concepts mind architecture and brain architecture be remote from each other. The development of both connectionism and neurocomputational science, has sought to dispense with this dualism and provide general models of consciousness – a uniform cognitive architecture –, which is in general reductionist, but which retains the computer metaphor. This paper examines, in the first place, the concepts of mind architecture and brain architecture, in order to evaluate the syntheses which have recently been offered. It then moves on to show how modifications which have been made to classical functionalist mind architectures, with the aim of making them compatible with brain architectures, are unable to resolve some of the most serious problems of functionalism. Some suggestions are given as to why it is not possible to relate mind structures and brain structures by using neurocomputational approaches, and finally the question is raised of the validity of reductionism in a theory which sets out to unite mind and brain architectures. 相似文献

This paper aims to achieve insight into various ecological theories in the Netherlands which have different, and sometimes opposing, views on the conservation of nature. Interviews, publications and archival research brought to light four separate theories: vitalistic/holistic, dynamic, cybernetic and chaos. Diversity is reached through stability according to vitalistic/holistic and cybernetic theories, but through change and instablility according to the dynamic and chaos theories. These two groups are working apart, and continue to have their own ideas. Prediction of the future is only possible with the vitalistic/holistic and cybernetic theories. Ecologists who adhere to these theories feel responsible and able in different ways to change ecological nature towards desirable end goals. The other two theories, dynamic and chaos, appear to be less activist. 相似文献

Summary Crude protein extracts from single seeds of nondomesticated Mexican bean accessions were analysed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for variability in phaseolin protein. Six new phaseolin types; M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, which contained polypeptides within the same range of molecular weights (51,000 to 45,000 daltons) as occur in the S, T and C phaseolin types of cultivated beans were identified. No T and C types were found among the non-domesticated Mexican accessions, and the S type occurred in less than 7% of the seeds screened. Genetic analyses of F2 progenies from crosses between Sanilac (S), and five of the M types showed that each M phaseolin phenotype was allelic to the S type and expressed codominantly. 相似文献

Summary Genetic diversity among ten varieties of spring wheat used as parents in a diallel cross was assessed through multivariate analysis (D2-statistics) and then related to heterosis and SCA effects of their hybrids. The parents fell into three groups. Group I contained the varieties, Nobre, Girua and Carazinho; group II contained Sonalika, Lyallpur and Pitic 62 and group III contained Indus 66, Balaka, Sonora 64rs and MSl. The varieties of group I were good general combiners, while the varieties of group III were poor combiners. Significant heterotic and SCA effects for yield and yield components were observed in the hybrids of the parents belonging to different groups but not in the same group. Genetic divergence between the parents had a positive relationship with heterosis and SCA effects of the hybrids. 相似文献

Summary An epidermolytic toxin target was observed in keratohyalin granules of sectioned epidermis by a direct fluorescence procedure using FTC-toxin, but not by an indirect procedure using sequential reaction with toxin, anti-toxin and FTC-secondary antibody. The investigation of the two procedures was extended to keratinocytes. A dispase digestion procedure yielded three fractions which corresponded to basal, spinous and granular cells according to biochemical and morphological criteria. It was shown that the direct and indirect procedures both detected the toxin target in the keratohyalin granules of granular cells, but that the indirect procedure was very insensitive. In control experiments, the profilaggrin of keratohyalin granules was detected readily in cells by a direct procedure using FTC-antiprofilaggrin but only weakly by an indirect double antibody procedure. Insensitivity to indirect procedures thus appears to be a particular property of the keratohyalin granule site. It was shown that the toxin target was readily accessible in permeable (trypsin-isolated) granular cells but inaccessible in impermeable (dispase-isolated) cells. 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

Summary Using disomic chromosome substitution lines based on the susceptible wheat cultivar Chinese Spring, loose smut resistance of wheat cultivars Hope and Thatcher was shown to be conferred in each case by a single dominant major gene carried on chromosome 7 A (Hope) or 7 B (Thatcher). Partial resistance was determined by genes on an additional eight Hope or seven Thatcher chromosomes, and similarities were evident between the partial resistance genotypes ofHope and Thatcher. Chinese Spring exhibited a mean infection value of approximately 50%, indicating a significant level of partial resistance, which was found to be due, in part, to genes on the homoeologous chromosome arms 1 As, 1 Es and 1 Ds, and to cytoplasmic genes. Substitution of the Chinese Spring nucleus into the cytoplasm of Aegilops squarrosa, Ae. variabilis or Ae. mutica resulted in increased susceptibility to Ustilago tritici. Several alloplasmic lines of the resistant wheat cultivars Selkirk and Chris exhibited race-specific susceptibility to U. tritici. 相似文献

We have developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay that could effectively reduce the time period required to screen and select for Gall Midgeresistant rice lines under field conditions. The primers for the assay were designed on the basis of sequence information of two phenotype specific random amplified polymorphic DNA fragments which were found to be tightly linked to Gall Midge biotype-1 resistance gene (Gm2). The two RAPD fragments, F81700 in the susceptible parent ARC6650 and F10600 in the resistant parent Phalguna, were identified after screening 5450 loci using 520 random primers on genomic DNAs of ARC6650 and Phalguna. These primers, when used in a multiplexed PCR, amplified specifically a 1.7-kb and 0.6-kb fragment in the susceptible and resistant parents, respectively. When this assay was performed on genomic DNAs of 44 recombinant inbred lines derived from ARC6650 x Phalguna and 5 lines derived from other crosses where one of the parents was Phalguna, ARC6650 or their derivatives, the primers amplified a 1.7-kb fragment in all of the susceptible lines or a 0.6-kb fragment in all of the resistant ones. These markers can be of potential use in the marker-aided selection of Gall Midge biotype-1 resistant phenotypes. As screening for resistance can now be conducted independent of the availability of insects, the breeding of resistant varieties can be hastened. 相似文献

Summary High frequencies of callusing were obtained in indica rice from the microspores which were staged in acetic acid iron alum-haematoxylin stain prior to culture on G5 medium. Two local varieties, Khonorullo and Namyi, and two advance pre-release cultures, PK 1-1-3 and PK 12-22, were used in this investigation. All the cultures exhibited a wide adaptation to varying medium; however, the frequency of callusing was highest (45.5%) in PK 1-1-3 followed by PK 12-22 (32.4%) and Khonorullo (31.6%). Cold shock (10 °C) for 11 days enhanced the frequency of callusing by 200% in Khonorullo. 相似文献

This paper gives, for the first time, a complete history of rain forest canopy access, from the early years to the present day. This review is primarily from the European perspective, and explores the development of canopy access techniques, from low-tech methods such as single rope technique, to hi-tech approaches such as canopy cranes. In recent years, canopy science has moved away from pure exploration (the Wonderland phase) to tackling the practicalities of rigorous canopy research (Reality), and the underlying emphasis is now shifting from access to the upper canopy per se to conducting replicative and manipulative science. The paper concludes by advocating the integration of many access techniques (both hi-tech and low-tech) at selected research sites, and certain neglected key areas of research are highlighted, including the comparison of adjacent primary and logged forests. 相似文献

Wind illness is a very common complaint among the Northern Thai, yet is rarely recognized by Thai physicians trained in biomedicine. Persons most susceptible to wind illness are adult women who have ever borne a child. Consequently, data were obtained from 415 everparous women, 43% of whom reported ever having had wind illness and 57%, never having had it. In addition, 20 individuals who had ever had the syndrome were followed for case study, and 13 indigenous healers who traditionally treat clients suffering wind illness were interviewed. Their perceptions of the etiology, symptomatology and treatment of wind illness are reported in Part I. Part II is an attempt to define wind illness in terms of biomedicine and as a consequence of fertility. Part III synthesizes the emic and etic accounts with explanations for the perdurance of wind illness despite the advances of biomedicine and the recent fertility decline in Northern Thailand. 相似文献

PP 333 was compared with ancymidol, CGA 65993, dikegulac-sodium (as Atrinal) and maleic hydrazide for its ability to restrict stem extension in tulip cvs Paul Richter, Apeldoorn and Trance. Single, 300 ml compost drenches were applied one day after housing fully cooled bulbs grown in a sphagnum peat/sand compost (3:1 v/v).Experiments in 1979/1980 and 1980/1981 with mid- and late-season crops showed that PP 333, like ancymidol, could reduce stem extension without deleterious responses. However, higher amounts of PP 333 (0.8–33.3 mg a.i./pot) were required than of ancymidol (0.625–2.5 mg a.i./pot). Cv. Paul Richter was much less responsive to PP 333 and ancymidol than Apeldoorn, particularly when grown as a late-season crop. Dikegulac was the most effective chemical in the latter situation, especially as it restricted post-flowering extension growth. PP 333 and ancymidol were better able to control such growth in the mid-season crops. Other than for the above purpose, dikegulac proved unsuitable because it increased flower bud blasting and gave rise to abnormally coloured perianth segments. Similarly, marked reductions in stem length of Apeldoorn and Paul Richter with CGA 65993 were associated with unacceptable side-effects, namely, smaller flowers (both cvs) and more bud blasting in Apeldoorn. Maleic hydrazide (5–500 mg a.i./pot) had little influence on stem length in any of the three cultivars.The trials indicated the need to test each cultivar/retardant combination, as well as to take into account the time of forcing because, whereas Paul Richter and Apeldoorn were adequately dwarfed by PP 333 and ancymidol without adverse effects, both compounds caused about 50% of Trance flowers to blast. No treatment influenced flowering date in cv. Paul Richter but PP 333 delayed flowering by two days in Apeldoorn and Trance, as did the higher doses of ancymidol in Apeldoorn. 相似文献

Summary Two winter wheat genotypes (Diószegi 200 and Mv 15) were compared for their in vitro androgenic capacity. On average, the induction frequency of embryogenic structures was 71.7% in Diószegi 200 and only 4.3% in Mv 15. The haploid induction ability of the two genotypes differed considerably, with Diószegi 200 being much higher. The difference in the in vitro inductability of the microspores may result from genetic differences which are manifested in the survival rate of the microspores during the culture period and their adaptability to in vitro conditions. Special DNA fluorochrornes were suitable for studying the different pathways of in vitro androgenesis. Our data indicate that the repeated equal divisions of the microspore nucleus might lead to pollen embryo formation, and subsequent divisions of the vegetative portion of the pollen grain after the first asymmetric microspore mitosis can result in pollen callus formation. 相似文献

Summary During the summer of 1986, three year-classes of foliage were sampled from approximately 30-year-old Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] trees at 12 sites from S. W. Germany to N. Scotland. At sites in Germany, where trees were showing symptoms of decline, samples were taken from trees with good crown condition and poor crown conditon. The distinction between good and poor was made on the basis of international protocols for defining crown density and foliar discoloration. There was a wide range in nutrient content (percent dry weight) in apparently healthy trees. Current year foliage had ranges of mean values per site: S(0.07–0.13%), N(0.9–1.4%), K(0.5–0.9%), Ca(0.2–0.7%), and Mg (0.05–0.1%). Ranges were greater for 2-year-old foliage: S(0.09–0.18%), N(1.0–1.8%), K(0.4–0.7%), Ca(0.2–1.4%), and Mg(0.03–0.09%). At sites with trees having poor crown condition, there were significantly smaller concentrations of Mg and Ca, and larger concentrations of K in 2-year-old foliage from poor trees, compared with adjacent good trees. Ratios of nutrient content were more significantly related to crown condition within sites than individual nutrients, especially in older needles. Poor crowns were associated with larger ratios of NMg, KMg, SMg, KCa and smaller ratios of SK and NK. A risk index is defined for trees showing no visible decline symptoms, based upon nutrient content and nutrient ratios, which may be useful in identifying sites liable to experience deterioration in crown condition.With the exception of one German site, where few poor trees were observed, the index increases from Scottish sites to English sites to Dutch sites to German sites. The index is empirical, and not necessarily related to potential effects of air pollution. The time dependence of foliar nutrient content may also be useful in diagnosis. At sites with trees having poor crown condition, even apparently healthy trees showed a lack of increase in calcium content with needle age, decreases in nitrogen content and very large decreases in magnesium content with needle age. The results show the importance of sampling several year classes of foliage from Norway spruce trees in determining the nutrient status of the tree. 相似文献

Summary The histochemical activities of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and Ca++-activated ATPase (pHs 7.4 and 9.4) were studied in the larval tail musculature of Rana japonica, Rana catesbeiana and Rana ornativentris. The ATPase reaction product was detected by both light and electron microscopy. Red and white muscle fibres, as distinguished by SDH, showed high and low Ca++-ATPase reaction, respectively, at pHs 7.4, 9.4 and following preincubation in cold K2-EDTA solution. The ultrastructural investigation of CA++-ATPase reaction at pH 7.4 by the Ca++-citrophosphate technique demonstrated electron-dense reaction product in association with A, I and Z bands, intermyofibrillar (SR) compartment and the mitochondrial inner chamber. However, Pb++ precipitation technique demonstrated Mg++-activated myosin ATPase activity at pH 9.2 ultrastructurally. The present histochemical data suggest that the anuran larval tail red muscle fibres are possible slow, and emphasize a possible lack of correlation between the speed of contraction with their ATPase activity. Moreover, red muscle fibres of the anuran tail musculature are not equivalent to Type I fibres of higher chordates. 相似文献

Summary Studies on callus growth and shoots/cotyledon, using seven different genotypes of pigeonpea and their hybrid progenies, revealed continuous variation for these traits. Hence, the type of gene action influencing in vitro cell proliferation and differentiation has been investigated in a diallel analysis of seven pigeonpea genotypes. Highly significant average heterosis was recorded for callus growth and seed yield/plant. In general, the F1 hybrids which showed heterosis for callus growth also exceeded their better parent for yield/ plant. Combining ability analysis revealed both additive and non-additive gene effects for callus growth, while number of shoots/cotyledon was mostly governed by non-additive gene effects. The genotype, ICP 7035, was the best general combiner for callus growth and shoot forming capacity of cotyledons. Two cross combinations, 7186×6974 and 7035×T-21, showed maximum SCA effects for callus growth and shoots/cotyledon. Callus dry weight was positively correlated with seed yield/plant and seedling weight. The strong positive association of callus growth with seed yield indicates the possibility of using this system for mass screening and selection of superior hybrids. 相似文献

Summary Thirteen maize (Zea mays L.) populations including five adapted, five adapted x exotic, two composites of adapted and exotic, and one exotic selected for adaptability were crossed in a diallel mating system. The parents and 78 crosses and nine check hybrids were evaluated for grain yield and plant height in five environments. The Gardner-Eberhart model Analysis II indicated that additive and nonadditive gene effects accounted for 60 and 40% of the total variation among populations, respectively, for grain yield and 86% and 14% of the total variation, respectively, for plant height. Components of heterosis were significant in the combined analysis for both traits. Adapted Corn Belt populations tended to have higher performance in crosses and greater values of variety heterosis than 50% adapted populations. Nebraska Elite Composite, Corn Belt x Mexican, and Corn Belt x Brazilian showed high mean yields in crosses, however, they were not among those with high estimates of variety heterosis. One exotic population (Tuxpeno x Antigua Grupo 2) and three adapted populations [307 Composite, NB(S1)C-3, and NK(S1)C-3] might be combined together to form a high-yielding population. It may be possible to synthesize two useful populations for reciprocal recurrent selection by grouping Tuxpeno x Antiqua Grupo 2, NB(S1)C-3, and NS(FS)LFW-8 into one population and NK(S1)C-3, KrugxTabloncillo, and 307 Composite in the other one.Contribution from the Department of Agronomy, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583.

Summary The putative second messenger of certain atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) signal transductions is cyclic GMP. Recently, we purified a 180-kDa protein, apparently containing both ANF receptor and guanylate cyclase activities, and hypothesized that this is one of the cyclic GMP transmembrane signal transducers. The enzyme is ubiquitous and appears to be conserved. Utilizing the 180-kDa membrane guanylate cyclase, we now show that the 180-kDa guanylate cyclase is regulated in opposing fashions by two receptor signals—ANF stimulating it and protein kinase C inhibiting it. Furthermore, protein kinase C phosphorylates the 180-kDa enzyme. This suggests a novel switch on and switch off mechanism of the cyclic GMP signal transduction. Switch off represents the phosphorylation while switch on the dephosphorylation of the enzyme. 相似文献
