In leaf tissues of the Cichorium hybrid clone `474' (C. intybus L. var. sativum × C. endivia L. var. latifolia), the acquisition and expression of embryogenic competence was characterised by the appearance of 15 polypeptides (Boyer
et al., 1993, Plant Sci 93: 41–53). The 38-kDa proteins were found to be abundantly present in conditioned embryogenic medium
after the first division of the induced cells. These proteins seemed to be glycosylated as indicated by general carbohydrate
detection methods. Internal amino-acid sequences obtained after microsequencing tryptic peptides appeared to be 36–57% homologous
with plant β-1,3-endoglucanases. In addition, these 38-kDa proteins were recognised by antibodies raised against the pathogenesis-related
tobacco glucanase PR2a and their β-1,3-glucanase activity was demonstrated by direct detection in polyacrylamide gels after
electrophoresis. These results strongly suggested that the 38-kDa somatic-embryogenesis-related (SER) polypeptides are β-1,3-glucanases.
Moreover, the level of glucanase activity was nearly three times higher in the medium of the embryogenic `474' line than in
the medium of a non-embryogenic line. The possible involvement of the extracellular 38-kDa proteins in callose degradation
during somatic embryogenesis is discussed.

The gltA gene encoding a glutamate synthase (GOGAT) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus sp. KOD1 was cloned as a 6.6 kb HindIII-BamHI fragment. Sequence analysis indicates that gltA encodes a 481- amino acid protein (53 269 Da). The deduced amino acid sequence of KOD1-GltA includes conserved regions that
are found in the small subunits of bacterial GOGAT: two cysteine clusters, an adenylate-binding consensus sequence and an
FAD-binding consensus sequence. However, no sequences homologous to the large subunit of bacterial GOGAT were found in the
upstream or downstream regions. In order to examine whether GltA alone can act as a functional GOGAT, GltA was overexpressed
in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells using an expression plasmid. GltA was purified to homogeneity and shown to be functional as a homotetramer
of approximately 205 kDa, which is equivalent to the molecular weight of the native GOGAT from KOD1, thus indicating that
KOD1-GOGAT is the smallest known active GOGAT. GltA is capable of both glutamine-dependent and ammonia-dependent synthesis
of glutamate. Synthesis of glutamate by KOD1-GltA required NADPH, indicating that this enzyme is an NADPH-GOGAT (EC 1.4.1.13).
The optimum pH for both activities was 6.5. However, GltA exhibited different optimum temperatures for activity depending
on the reaction assayed (glutamine-dependent reaction, 80° C; ammonia-dependent reaction, 90° C).

When cooled in contact with moisture, eight species of arctic Enchytraeidae from Svalbard were killed by freezing within
minutes or hours at −3 and −5 °C; an exception was Enchytraeus kincaidi which survived for up to 2 days. When the temperature approached 0 °C the enchytraeids apparently tried to escape from the
moist soil. The supercooling capacity of the enchytraeids was relatively low, with mean supercooling points of −5 to −8 °C.
In contrast, specimens of several species were extracted from soil cores that had been frozen in their intact state at −15 °C
for up to 71 days. Compared to freezing in a moist environment, higher survival rates were obtained during cooling at freezing
temperatures in dry soil. Survival was recorded in species kept at −3 °C for up to 35 days, and in some species kept at −6 °C
for up to 17 days. Slow warming greatly increased survival rates at −6 °C . The results strongly suggest that arctic enchytraeids
avoid freezing by dehydration at subzero temperatures. In agreement with this, weight losses of up to ca. 42% of fresh weight
were recorded in Mesenchytraeus spp. and of up to 55% in Enchytraeus kincaidi at water vapour pressures above ice at −3 to −6 °C. All specimens survived dehydration under these conditions.

The effect of exposure to low temperatures (5 °C) on lymphocyte proliferation, leukocyte populations, and serum complement
levels was examined in the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens. Proliferation of T lymphocytes in response to phytohemagglutinin stimulation was significantly decreased in frogs kept for
2, 3, and 5 months at 5 °C compared to that of animals kept at 22 °C. A significant increase in the average percentage of
neutrophils and a decrease in the mean percentage of eosinophils was observed in the blood of frogs held for 5 months in the
cold compared to animals held at 22 °C for the same length of time. Mean serum complement activity after 1 month at 5 °C was
significantly reduced in comparison to animals held at 22 °C and was not detectable after 5 months in the cold. Recovery of
complement levels at room temperature (22 °C) was also examined after cold exposure. Complement levels were significantly
higher than controls (at 22 °C) in frogs returned to 22 °C for 7 and 14 days after 5 months in the cold. After frogs were
held at 5 °C for 1 month, serum complement levels increased significantly within 2 days after returning to 22 °C and continued
to rise 5 and 9 days after warming. Injections with Aeromonas hydrophila following a 5-week exposure to 5 °C failed to cause death or observable symptoms of disease in frogs that were returned to
22 °C.

The effects of hydromineral hormones and catecholamines on renal concentrating ability at different hydration states were
examined in five male volunteers while they performed three trials. Each of these trials comprised a 60-min exercise bout
on a treadmill (at 50% of maximal oxygen uptake) in a warm environment (dry bulb temperature, 35°C; relative humidity, 20–30%).
In one session, subjects were euhydrated before exercise (C). In the two other sessions, after thermal dehydration (loss of
3% body mass) which markedly reduced plasma volume (PV) and increased plasma osmolality (osmpl), the subjects exercised either not rehydrated (Dh) or rehydrated (Rh) by drinking 600 ml of mineral water before and 40 min
after the onset of exercise. During exercise in the Dh compared to C state, plasma renin, aldosterone, arginine vasopressin
(AVP), noradrenaline and adrenaline concentrations were increased (P < 0.05). A reduction in creatinine clearance and urine flow was also observed (P < 0.05) together with a decrease in urine osmolality, osmolar clearance and sodium excretion, while free water clearance
increased (P < 0.05). However, compared to Dh, Rh partially restored PV and osmpl and induced a marked reduction in the time courses of both the plasma AVP and catecholamine responses (P < 0.05). Values for renal water and electrolyte excretion were intermediate between those of Dh and C. Plasma atrial natriuretic
peptide presented similar changes whatever the hydration state. These results demonstrate that during moderate exercise in
the heat, renal concentrating ability is paradoxically reduced by prior dehydration in spite of high plasma AVP levels, and
might be the result of marked activation of the sympatho-adrenal system. Rehydration, by reducing this activation, could partially
restore the renal concentrating ability despite the lowered plasma AVP.

This study investigated the effects on running economy (RE) of ingesting either no fluid or an electrolyte solution with
or without 6% carbohydrate (counterbalanced design) during 60-min running bouts at 80% maximal oxygen consumption (V˙O2max). Tests were undertaken in either a thermoneutral (22–23°C; 56–62% relative humidity, RH) or a hot and humid natural environment
(Singapore: 25–35°C; 66–77% RH). The subjects were 15 young adult male Singaporeans [V˙O2max = 55.5 (4.4 SD) ml kg−1 min−1]. The RE was measured at 3 m s−1 [65 (6)% V˙O2max] before (RE1) and after each prolonged run (RE2). Fluids were administered every 2 min, at an individual rate determined
from prior tests, to maintain body mass (group mean = 17.4 ml min−1). The V˙O2 during RE2 was higher (P < 0.05) than that during the RE1 test for all treatments, with no differences between treatments (ANOVA). The mean increase
in V˙O2 from RE1 to RE2 ranged from 3.4 to 4.7 ml kg−1 min−1 across treatments. In conclusion, the deterioration in RE at 3 m s−1 (65% V˙O2max) after 60 min of running at 80% V˙O2max appears to occur independently of whether fluid is ingested and regardless of whether the fluid contains carbohydrates or
electrolytes, in both a thermoneutral and in a hot, humid environment.

We have identified a new En/Spm-like transposable element, Tdc1, in the 5′ flanking region of a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene (gDcPAL1) that is normally induced by transferring cells of carrot suspension cultures to fresh liquid medium (transfer or dilution
effect). The initial integration into gDcPAL1 occurred more than 4 years after culture initiation. Tdc1 was first detected in gDcPAL1 genomic clones of a genomic library made from cells of the same cultured cell line 7 years after its initiation and thus
following repeated subculturing. Twelve years after initiation, about 5–10% of the cells had Tdc1 inserted into the gDcPAL1 gene, indicating that Tdc1 insertion into gDcPAL1 occurred in one (or more) cell(s) during the first 4–7 years of subculturing. These mutant cells did not disappear during
numerous passages; instead the proportion of cells having this Tdc1 inserted into gDcPAL1 has been increasing over the last 5 years. The promoter activity and the inducibility by transfer/dilution of the gDcPAL1 gene harboring Tdc1 is reduced relative to wild type. Finally, we show that insertion of a transposable element is one of the mechanisms that
can cause variation of plant cell cultures during repeated subculture.

Indolepyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase (IOR) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of arylpyruvates. Gene cloning and
sequencing analysis of the IOR gene from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus sp. KOD1 was performed. Two genes, iorA and iorB, encoding α and β subunits of IOR were found to be tandemly arranged, which suggests that gene expression is translationaly
coupled. Sequence analysis showed the C-terminal region of the α subunit to have a typical ferredoxin-type [4Fe-4S] cluster
motif (CXXCXXCXXCXXXCP), which is similar to that present in the δ subunits of other oxidoreductases such as pyruvate ferredoxin
oxidoreductase (POR) and 2-ketoisovalerate ferredoxin oxidoreductase (VOR). We suggest that the α subunit of KOD1-IOR has
a mosaic structure composed of features characteristic of the α, β and δ subunits from POR and VOR. KOD1-IOR was overproduced
in anaerobically incubated Escherichia coli cells and the crude enzyme was extracted under anaerobic conditions. The optimal temperature for activity of recombinant
IOR was 70° C and the half-life of this enzyme in the presence of air was 15 min at 25° C.

In this study we measured growth and milk intake and calculated energy intake and its allocation into metabolism and stored
tissue for hooded seal (Cystophora cristata) pups. In addition, we measured mass loss, change in body composition and metabolic rate during the first days of the postweaning
fast. The mean body mass of the hooded seal pups (n = 5) at the start of the experiments, when they were new-born, was 24.3 ± 1.3 kg (SD). They gained an average of 5.9 ± 1.1.
kg · day−1 of which 19% was water, 76% fat and 5% protein. This corresponds to an average daily energy deposition of 179.8 ± 16.0 MJ.
The pups were weaned at an average body mass of 42.5 ± 1.0 kg 3.1 days after the experiment was initiated. During the first
days of the postweaning fast the pups lost an average of 1.3 ± 0.5␣kg of body mass daily, of which 56% was water, 16% fat
and 28% protein. During the nursing period the average daily water influx for the pups was 124.6 ± 25.8 ml · kg−1. The average CO2 production during this period was 1.10 ± 0.20 ml · g−1 · h−1, which corresponds to a field metabolic rate of 714 ± 130 kJ · kg−1 · day−1, or 5.8 ± 1.1 times the predicted basal metabolic rate according to Kleiber (1975). During the postweaning fast the average
daily water influx was reduced to 16.1 ± 6.6 ml · kg−1. The average CO2 production in␣this period was 0.58 ± 0.17 ml · g−1 · h−1 which corresponds to a field metabolic rate of 375 ± 108 kJ · kg−1 · day−1 or 3.2 ± 0.9 times the predicted basal metabolic rate. Average values for milk composition were 33.5% water, 58.6% fat and
6.2% protein. The pups drank an average of 10.4 ± 1.8␣kg of milk daily, which represents an energy intake of 248.9 ± 39.1
MJ · day−1. The pups were able to store 73.2 ± 7.7% of this energy as body tissue.

The present study was undertaken to determine the haematological and cardiovascular status, at rest and during prolonged
(1 h) submaximal exercise (approximately 70% of peak oxygen uptake) in a group (n = 12) of chronic coca users after chewing approximately 50 g of coca leaves. The results were compared to those obtained
in a group (n = 12) of nonchewers. At rest, coca chewing was accompanied by a significant increase in heart rate [from 60 (SEM 4) TO 76 (SEM 3)
beats · min−1], in haematocrit [from 53.2 (SEM 1.2) to 55.6 (SEM 1.1)%] in haemoglobin concentration, and plasma noradrenaline concentration
[from 2.8 (SEM 0.4) to 5.0 (SEM 0.5) μmol · l−1]. It was calculated that coca chewing for 1 h resulted in a significant decrease in blood [−4.3 (SEM 2.2)%] and plasma [−8.7 (SEM 1.2)%]
volume. During submaximal exercise, coca chewers displayed a significantly higher heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure.
The exercise-induced haemoconcentration was blunted in coca chewers compared to nonchewers. It was concluded that the coca-induced
fluid shift observed at rest in these coca chewers was not cumulative with that of exercise, and that the hypovolaemia induced
by coca chewing at rest compromised circulatory adjustments during exercise.

The present study investigated the mechanism of diving bradycardia. A group of 14 healthy untrained male subjects were examined
during breath-holding either out of the water (30–33°C), in head-out immersion, or in whole-body submersion (27–29°C) in a
diving pool. Blood velocity, blood volume flow in the carotid artery, diastolic blood pressure and electrocardiogram were
measured and recorded during the experiments. The peak blood velocity increased by 13.6% (P < 0.01) and R-wave amplitude increased by 57.1% (P < 0.005) when the subjects entered water from air. End-diastolic blood velocity in the carotid artery increased significantly during breath-holding, e.g. increased from 0.20 (SD 0.02) m · s−1 at rest to 0.33 (SD 0.04) m · s−1 (P < 0.001) at 50.0 s in breath-hold submersion to a 2.0-m depth. Blood volume flow in the carotid artery increased by 26.6%
(P < 0.05) at 30 s and 36.6% (P < 0.001) at 40 s in breath-hold submersion to a 2.0-m depth. Diastolic blood pressure increased by 15.4% (P < 0.01) at 60 s during breath-holding in head-out immersion. Blood volume flow, and diastolic blood pressure increased significantly more and faster during breath-holding in submersion than out of the
water. There was a good negative correlation with the heart rate: the root mean square correlation coefficient r was 0.73 (P < 0.001). It was concluded that an increased accumulation of blood in the aorta and arteries at end-diastole and decreased
venous return, caused by an increase in systemic peripheral resistance during breath-holding, underlies diving bradycardia.

Five water monitor lizards, Varanus salvator salvator, and four clouded monitor lizards, Varanus bengalensis nebulosus, were caught on Tioman island in Malaysia. A radio-thermistor transmitter was implanted into the buccal cavity of each animal,
and they were released into an enclosure measuring 5.5 × 6.5 metres. The lizards were observed for 9 and 8 days, respectively,
before and after the parietal eye was covered with aluminium foil. With uncovered parietal eye, both species showed a clear
diurnal rhythm, being active only during day time. After covering the parietal eye, the mean locomotor activity of five V. s. salvator decreased from 791 to 107 min · day–1 but remained unchanged around 850 min · day–1 for V. b. nebulosus. The mean duration of locomotor activity decreased in V. s. salvator and V. b. nebulosus after the parietal eye was covered, but V. b. nebulosus maintained its locomotor activity by increasing the number of locomotor bouts. The water monitor spent very little time on
thermoregulation. Its body temperature ranged between 26.3 and 28.4 °C, which decreased after the parietal eye was covered.
The clouded monitor thermoregulated around 28.8–36.0 °C, which remained unchanged after the parietal eye was covered. In both
species, there was a strong correlation between body temperature and ambient temperature. Behavioural abnormalities were recorded
among V. s. salvator with covered parietal eye. They were often observed to be active by night and often slept outside a burrow. The circadian
rhythm of V. b. nebulosus appeared unaffected by shielding of its parietal eye. Captivity combined with shielded parietal eye induced agonistic behaviour
in both species.

We investigated pineal function as well as reproductive and energetic characteristics in male deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) that differentially respond to short photoperiod with full, partial or no gonadal regression. In mice at both high (23 °C)
and low temperature (1 °C), these phenotypic differences in reproductive responses to short days were not reflected by differences
in urinary excretion of 6-sulphatoxy-melatonin, the main metabolite of pineal melatonin. Neither duration nor amplitude or
phase-angle of nocturnal peaks in 6-sulphatoxymelatonin significantly differed between reproductive phenotypes at either temperature.
Differences in testis size were, however, associated with different energy requirements. In gonadally regressed males only,
food intake and body weight were significantly (P < 0.01) reduced by up to 29% and 13% respectively. Chronic cold exposure (5 °C) had no effect on the proportion of males
undergoing testicular regression under short days, but caused a general elevation in body weights among all mice (P < 0.05). Phenotypic differences in body weight and food intake were maintained in the cold. Together, these results suggest
that within-population variation of reproductive responses in male deer mice is based on post-pineal differences in the regulation of gonadal function, and that phenotypic characteristics in reproductive and energetic
responses to short days are largely unaffected by ambient temperature.

A full-length cDNA copy (PLRVfl) of potato leafroll virus (PLRV) was constructed and examined in vivo for its biological activities by transient expression
experiments with plasmid DNA or in vitro transcribed RNA. In addition, PLRVfl cDNA was stably introduced into the genome of potato plants by Agrobacterium-mediated leaf disc transformation. Both transient and stable expression of PLRVfl resulted in the synthesis of genomic and subgenomic PLRV RNAs. Transgenic plants accumulated the 17-kDa movement protein
and displayed the typical symptoms of PLRV infection. This is the first example of the constitutive expression of a phloem-limited
virus in planta.

In the Swiss Prealps Entomobrya nivalis hibernates in an inactive state, hidden under bark flakes on spruce. For freeze avoidance it relies on thermal hysteresis
proteins (THPs) and polyols (mainly ribitol, with small amounts arabitol and threitol). Polyols are present only during the
inactive state, THPs additionally protect during the transition phase in spring and autumn, when animals are still active
but frosts may occur. Peak values were recorded in February/March for THPs (3.5 °C hysteresis between melting and freezing
point) and for polyols (26 μg mg−1 FW; hemolymph osmolality 680 mosmol l−1). E. nivalis is able to control its hemolymph osmolality independently of body water content. Mean osmolality in summer was 350– 440 mosmol l−1, in winter it was elevated to 650 mosmol l−1, due to a synthesis mainly of ribitol. Body water content varied between 1.8 and 3.3 mg H2O mg−1 DW, depending on humidity conditions. Experiments on triggering of antifreeze synthesis showed the action of temperature
and photoperiod as cues, but there was also evidence for an endogenous rhythm. No clear correlation between antifreeze concentration
and supercooling ability could be established, suggesting that gut content or other parameters also play an inportant role.

Short-latency vestibular-evoked potentials to pulsed linear acceleration were characterized in the quail. Responses occurred
within 8 ms following the onset of stimuli and were composed of a series of positive and negative peaks. The latencies and
amplitudes of the first four peaks were quantitatively characterized. Mean latencies at 1.0 g ms−1 ranged from 1265 ± 208 μs (P1, N = 18) to 4802 ± 441 μs (N4, N = 13). Amplitudes ranged from 3.72 ± 1.51 μV (P1/N1, N = 18) to 1.49 ± 0.77 μV (P3/N3, N = 16). Latency-intensity (LI) slopes ranged from −38.7 ± 7.3 μs dB−1 (P1, N = 18) to −71.6 ± 21.9 μs dB−1 (N3, N = 15) and amplitude-intensity (AI) slopes ranged from 0.20 ± 0.08 μV dB−1 (P1/N1, N = 18) to 0.07 ± 0.04 μV dB−1 (P3/N3, N = 11). The mean response threshold across all animals was −21.83 ± 3.34 dB re: 1.0 g ms−1 (N = 18). Responses remained after cochlear extirpation showing that they could not depend critically on cochlear activity.
Responses were eliminated by destruction of the vestibular end organs, thus showing that responses depended critically and
specifically on the vestibular system. The results demonstrate that the responses are vestibular and the findings provide
a scientific basis for using vestibular responses to evaluate vestibular function through ontogeny and senescence in the quail.

To study the physiological responses induced by immersing in cold water various areas of the upper limb, 20 subjects immersed
either the index finger (T1), hand (T2) or forearm and hand (T3) for 30 min in 5°C water followed by a 15-min recovery period.
Skin temperature of the index finger, skin blood flow (Qsk) measured by laser Doppler flowmetry, as well as heart rate (HR) and mean arterial blood pressure (ˉBPa) were all monitored during the test. Cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) was calculated as Qsk / ˉBPa. Cold induced vasodilatation (CIVD) indices were calculated from index finger skin temperature and CVC time courses. The
results showed that no differences in temperature, CVC or cardiovascular changes were observed between T2 and T3. During T1,
CIVD appeared earlier compared to T2 and T3 [5.90 (SEM 0.32) min in T1 vs 7.95 (SEM 0.86) min in T2 and 9.26 (SEM 0.78) min
in T3, P < 0.01]. The HR was unchanged in T1 whereas it increased significantly at the beginning of T2 and T3 [+13 (SEM 2) beats · min−1 in T2 and +15 (SEM 3) beats · min−1 in T3, P < 0.01] and then decreased at the end of the immersion [−12 (SEM 3) beats · min−1 in T2, and −15 (SEM 3) beats · min−1 in T3, P < 0.01]. Moreover, ˉBPaincreased at the beginning of T1 but was lower than in T2 and T3 [+9.3 (SEM 2.5) mmHg in T1, P < 0.05; +20.6 (SEM 2.6) mmHg and 26.5 (SEM 2.8) mmHg in T2 and T3, respectively, P < 0.01]. The rewarming during recovery was faster and higher in T1 compared to T2 and T3. These results showed that general
and local physiological responses observed during an upper limb cold water test differed according to the area immersed. Index
finger cooling led to earlier and faster CIVD without significant cardiovascular changes, whereas hand or forearm immersion
led to a delayed and slower CIVD with a bradycardia at the end of the test.

This investigation examined the influence of soil moisture and associated parameters on the cold hardiness of the Colorado
potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say), a temperate-zone species that overwinters in terrestrial burrows. The body mass and water content of adult beetles
kept in sand at 4 °C varied over a 16-week period of diapause according to the substratum's moisture content. Changes in body
water content, in turn, influenced the crystallization temperature (range −3.3 to −18.4 °C; n = 417), indicating that environmental moisture indirectly determined supercooling capacity, a measure of physiological cold
hardiness. Beetles held in dry sand readily tolerated a 24-h exposure to temperatures ranging from 0° to −5 °C, but those
chilled in sand containing as little as 1.7% water (dry mass) had elevated mortality. Thus, burrowing in dry soils not only
promotes supercooling via its effect on water balance, but may also inhibit inoculative freezing. Mortality of beetles exposed
to −5 °C for 24 h was lower in substrates composed of sand, clay and/or peat (36–52%) than in pure silica sand (78%) having
an identical water content (17.0% dry mass). In addition to moisture, the texture, structure, water potential, and other physico-chemical
attributes of soil may strongly influence the cold hardiness and overwintering survival of burrowing insects.
