Isolation and identification of Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell. cv Chinese Spring-T. peregrinum Hackel disomic chromosome addition lines

Analyses of RFLPs, isozymes, morphological markers and chromosome pairing were used to isolate 12 Triticum aestivum cv Chinese Spring (genomes A, B, and D)-T. peregrinum (genomes S^v and U^v) disomic chromosome addition lines. The evidence obtained indicates that each of the 12 lines contains an intact pair of T. peregrinum chromosomes. One monosomic addition line, believed to contain an intact 6S^v chromosome, was also isolated. A CS-7U^v chromosome addition line was not obtained. Syntenic relationships in common with the standard Triticeae arrangement were found for five of the seven S^v genome chromosomes. The exceptions were 4S^v and 7S^v. A reciprocal translocation exists between 4S¹ and 7S¹ in T. longissimum and evidence was obtained that the same translocation exists in T. peregrinum. In contrast, evidence for syntenic relationships in common with the standard Triticeae arrangements were found for only one U^v chromosome of T. peregrinum.; namely, chromosome 2U^v. All other U^v genome chromosomes are involved in at least one translocation, and the same translocations were found in the U genome of T. umbellulatum. Evidence was also obtained indicating that the centromeric regions of 4U and 4U^v are homoeologous to the centromeric regions of Triticeae homoeologous group-6 chromosomes, that the centromeric regions of 6U and 6U^v are homoeologous to the centromeric regions of group-4 chromosomes, and that 4U and 4U^v are more closely related overall to Triticeae homoeologous group-6 chromosomes than they are to group-4 chromosomes.     

Application of DNA amplification fingerprinting (DAF) to mixed culture bioreactors

Summary The use of DNA amplification fingerprinting (DAF) as a tool for monitoring mixed microbial populations in bioreactors was evaluated. Short (8-mer or 10-mer) oligonucleotides were used to prime DNA extracts from various biological reactors during polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. The reactors examined in this study included two sets of anaerobic stirred tank continuous flow bioreactors. One set of anaerobic reactors was operated under methanogenic conditions and one set was operated under sulfate-reducing conditions. The anaerobic reactor communities in the methanol-fed reactors showed extensive DAF homology. DAF was also applied to a fixed-film azo dye degrading reactor to examine the degree of uniformity of colonization of the substratum in representative regions of the reactor. This method is a quick and relatively inexpensive means of monitoring microbial community structure during biological processes. Since no cultivation of the sample is involved, the genetic profile of the community is not biased by outgrowth conditions. DAF profiles may be useful for comparisons of population changes over time or of bench-scale vs pilot-scale reactors but not adequate for assessing community diversity.

Further indications of the multicomponent nature of the acrosome reaction-inducing substance of human follicular fluid

Human follicular fluid (hFF), which has been treated with either unspecific proteases or dextran-coated charcoal (DCC) to remove proteins and/or steroids, cannot successfully induce the acrosome reaction (AR). After the removal of steroids, AR-inducing activity can be restored to hFF by supplementation with exogenous progesterone, but only in the presence of intact protein. Gel filtration experiments with ³H-progesterone-labelled hFF showed elution of the radioactive signal in the high molecular weight range, corresponding to bound progesterone. AR-inducing activity was seen in exactly the same fraction. Based on these results, the acrosome reaction-inducing substance (ARIS) appears to be a complex of progesterone and a progesterone-binding protein, which was shown to be identical with the plasma protein corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) by immunological techniques. AR induction was only observed in the presence of both CBG and progesterone, suggesting a combined effect of the two components. © 1995 wiley-Liss, Inc.
