A Simple Technique for Determining the Reaction of Barley Genotypes to Pyrenophora graminea

An in vitro technique was used to determine the reaction of 10 barley genotypes to Pyrenophora graminea, the seed‐borne pathogen causing barley leaf stripe disease. Determination was based on the percentage of inoculated seeds that produced fungal hyphae when cultured on potato dextrose agar. The technique allows low, intermediate and absolute levels of resistance to leaf stripe to be determined. Genotypes CI‐5791 and Banteng were resistant, Thibaut, Igri and PK (30‐531) were moderately resistant, Gollf was moderately susceptible, and WI2291, Arabi Abiad, Furat 1 and Arrivate were susceptible. The in vitro and in field assessments were significant (correlation coefficient r=0.96), results indicating that repeated measurements for infected seeds by this in vitro method were very similar to those of field assessments.     

Inhibition by kinoprene of photoperiod-induced male production by apterous and alate viviparae of the aphid Myzus persicae

Photoperiod-induced male production by apterous and alate viviparae of the green peach aphid. Myzus persicae, was reduced or prevented by treating the aphids with the JH analog kinoprene (Zoecon's insect growth regulator ZR 777). Concomitant with this reduction in the number of males was an increase in the production of females. This was most clearly demonstrated for apterous viviparae that had been raised from birth under weak long-night regimes of 10–10.5 hr dark day, and exposed to 0.1% kinoprene-treated radish seedlings for 2–3 days on reaching the fourth larval instar or adulthood.Male production by alate viviparae, whose apterous mothers were born and raised for 5 days under a long-night regime of 15 hr dark day and then maintained under a short-night regime of 8 hr dark day, was completely inhibited by exposing them to kinoprene-treated plants for 2–3 days when they had reached the fourth instar.It is concluded that the kinoprene treatment affects sex chromosome replication in the oögonia of an aphid so that these germ cells develop parthenogenetically into females (2n = 12 with two X chromosomes) rather than males (2n = 11 with one X chromosome). This may result either from a direct action of absorbed kinoprene on the oögonia or from an indirect action whereby the kinoprene stimulates the insect's hormonal system to produce a hormone that stimulates development of the oögonia into females.     

Hypohalites and related oxidants as chemiluminescence reagents: a review

This review concerns the use of hypochlorite, hypobromite and related oxidants (such as N‐bromosuccinimide and 1,3‐dibromo‐5,5‐dimethylhydantoin) as chemiluminescence reagents and includes references to 249 papers that were published prior to mid‐2003. Particular emphasis has been placed on proposed emitting species and the mechanisms of the light‐producing pathways. The analytical applications of this chemistry have been summarized in three tables: (1) quanti?cation of hypohalites and related compounds (including halides, which are initially oxidized); (2) enhancement or inhibition of luminol chemiluminescence; and (3) direct chemiluminescence reactions with hypohalite reagents.

Expression of a modified ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase large subunit in wheat seeds stimulates photosynthesis and carbon metabolism

ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) is the rate-limiting step in seed starch biosynthesis. Expression of an altered maize AGP large subunit (Sh2r6hs) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) results in increased AGP activity in developing seed endosperm and seed yield. The yield phenotype involves increases in both seed number and total plant biomass. Here we describe stimulation of photosynthesis by the seed-specific Sh2r6hs transgene. Photosynthetic rates were increased in Sh2r6hs-expressing plants under high light but not low light growth conditions, peaking at roughly 7 days after flowering (DAF). In addition, there were significant increases in levels of fructose, glucose, and sucrose in flag leaves at both 7 and 14 DAF. In seeds, levels of carbon metabolites at 7 and 14 DAF were relatively unchanged but increases in glucose, ADP-glucose, and UDP-glucose were observed in seeds from Sh2r6hs positive plants at maturity. Increased photosynthetic rates relatively early in seed development appear to be key to the Sh2r6hs enhanced yield phenotype as no yield increase or photosynthetic rate changes were found when plants were grown in a suboptimal light environment. These findings demonstrate that stimulation of biochemical events in both source and sink tissues is associated with Sh2r6hs expression.
