Twelve langur infants (seven males and five females) of three focal bisexual unimale troops of Hanuman langurs,Presbytis entellus entellus living near Kailana, Jodhpur, Rajasthan (India) were observed for their weaning behaviour. Weaning starts between 7.0 to
10.0 months of age, average 8.6 months. The process of weaning lasts between 3.2 to 5.6 months, average 4.2 months. A 13-month-old
infant is fully weaned. Infants are independent at this age. Male infants are weaned earlier compared to females. Males react
to their mothers' rejections more fearlessly and are more vocal compared to females. By and large, infants were found in stress
during this period as their mothers are often very harsh, hostile, punitive, and indifferent to their infants. By severing
ties with their infants, mothers serve dual purpose of allowing their infants to become independent and may be to become ready
to bear offspring. 相似文献

Abstract. The effect and accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in lettuce grown by means of the hydroponic technique was investigated by multivariate analysis, and was found to be affected by the concentration of other trace elements. Particularly iron acted in a strongly antagonistic way against Cd. Consequently, no absolute toxicity limits for Cd can be drawn without considering other trace elements. 相似文献

The multipartite genome of Deinococcus radiodurans forms toroidal structure. It encodes topoisomerase IB and both the subunits of DNA gyrase (DrGyr) while lacks other bacterial topoisomerases. Recently, PprA a pleiotropic protein involved in radiation resistance in D. radiodurans has been suggested for having roles in cell division and genome maintenance. In vivo interaction of PprA with topoisomerases has also been shown. DrGyr constituted from recombinant gyrase A and gyrase B subunits showed decatenation, relaxation and supercoiling activities. Wild type PprA stimulated DNA relaxation activity while inhibited supercoiling activity of DrGyr. Lysine133 to glutamic acid (K133E) and tryptophane183 to arginine (W183R) replacements resulted loss of DNA binding activity in PprA and that showed very little effect on DrGyr activities in vitro. Interestingly, wild type PprA and its K133E derivative continued interacting with GyrA in vivo while W183R, which formed relatively short oligomers did not interact with GyrA. The size of nucleoid in PprA mutant (1.9564 ± 0.324 µm) was significantly bigger than the wild type (1.6437 ± 0.345 µm). Thus, we showed that DrGyr confers all three activities of bacterial type IIA family DNA topoisomerases, which are differentially regulated by PprA, highlighting the significant role of PprA in DrGyr activity regulation and genome maintenance in D. radiodurans. 相似文献

T-DNA insertional mutagenesis is one of the most important approaches for gene discovery and cloning. A fertile polyembryo
mutant generated by T-DNA/Ds insertion in Oryza sativa, cv. Basmati 370 showed twin or triple seedlings at a frequency of 15–20%. T-DNA insertion was confirmed by 950 bp hpt gene amplification in the promoter region of the candidate gene. The annotated protein corresponding to the OsPE candidate gene has been reported as a hypothetical protein in O. sativa. OsPE gene lacked functional homologs in other species. No OsPE paralog was found in rice. No conserved domains were found in the protein coded by OsPE. RT-PCR showed the expression of OsPE gene in Basmati 370 shoots. Full-length OsPE gene was cloned in Basmati 370. The combined use of Southern blot, genome walking, TAIL-PCR, RT-PCR techniques, and bioinformatics
led to the identification of a candidate gene controlling the multiple embryos in rice. There is gain of function, i.e., multiple
embryos in the seeds in the knockout mutant OsPE whereas its wild-type allele strictly controls single embryo per seed. The seeds with multiple embryos are distributed at
random in the rice mutant panicle. The origin of multiple embryos, whether apomictic, zygotic or both is under investigation. 相似文献

Adaptations to environmental stress in altitudinal populations of two Drosophila species 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract. Opposite clinal variation for desiccation and starvation tolerance are observed in four altitudinal populations (219–2202 m), each of two sympatric and cold adapted species: Drosophila takahashii and Drosophila nepalensis from northern India. The high-altitude populations are more tolerant to desiccation than those from lower altitudes, whereas the reverse trend occurs for starvation tolerance. The magnitude of tolerances are significantly high in D. nepalensis, which is better adapted to cold conditions. During winter months (November to February), there are significant decreases in T max , T min and relative humidity along the altitudinal transect. Higher desiccation resistance can develop under cold conditions over short-range, altitudinally varying, geographical areas (250 km) compared with our previously reported long-range (>2000 km), latitudinal variations under tropical climatic conditions. However, significant starvation tolerances are favoured by small body size, higher dispersal rate and higher ambient temperature of the site of origin of populations. Significant correlations of two climatic factors (the mean monthly coefficients of variation of temperature and relative humidity) with these two physiological traits can best explain the observed altitudinal clinal variations under natural conditions. 相似文献

Wild caught samples of Drosophila melanogaster from five highland localities showed parallel changes in melanisation and desiccation resistance in darker versus lighter phenotypes, i.e. darker flies (>45% melanisation) showed significantly higher desiccation resistance than lighter flies (<30% melanisation). In order to find an association between body melanisation and desiccation resistance, highland and lowland populations from tropical and subtropical regions (11.15-31.06 degrees N) of the Indian subcontinent were raised and investigated at 21 degrees C for four physiological traits, i.e. per cent body melanisation, desiccation resistance, rate of water loss and rate of water absorption. On the basis of mother-offspring regression, body melanisation and desiccation resistance showed higher heritability (0.58-0.68) and thus these traits are suitable for laboratory analyses. Significantly higher melanisation as well as desiccation resistance were observed in highland populations as compared with lowland populations. The rates of water loss as well as absorption were negatively correlated with body melanisation, i.e. darker flies from highlands showed a reduced rate of water loss as well as a lower rate of water absorption while the reverse trend was observed in lighter flies from lowlands. On the basis of multiple regressions, significant effects due to combined altitude and latitude were observed for all the four physiological traits. Local climatic conditions (i.e. annual average temperature and relative humidity) helped in explaining parallel changes in body melanisation and desiccation resistance in D. melanogaster. 相似文献
