A local population of the pitcher-plant mosquito, Wyeomyia smithii (Diptera: Culicidae, Culicini) in western New York State contains naturally polymorphic salivary gland chromosomes. Maps depicting the proposed standard sequence of bands along each of the three chromosomes are presented. Structural conformations of heterokaryotypes reveal ten paracentric inversions. Four inversions occur in chromosome 1, and three in each of chromosomes 2 and 3. All the inversions are small, occupying 3–17% of the length of their respective chromosomes, and all are located in the terminal 1/5 to 1/2 of a chromosome arm. Three inversions are almost adjacent on chromosome 1. On chromosome 2 one inversion lies completely within another. Three inversions on chromosome 3 partially overlap. The remaining two inversions occur alone, one on chromosome 1 and the other on chromosome 2. Another polymorphism, with no visible alteration of band sequence, produces asynapsis of all but the tip of the left arm of chromosome 1, and shows a significant change in frequency between two successive years. No inversion exhibits a significant seasonal change in frequency, though some fluctuation in frequency was noted in two cases. The rarest inversion in the population exists at a frequency below 0.01, and the two most common inversions at frequencies of 0.44 and 0.52. The average inversion heterozygosity of an individual is between 1.7 and 2.4 based on two different estimation procedures. Heterokaryotypes for several of the inversions were significantly more frequent than they should have been, given binomial expectations. Cytogenetic analysis of W. smithii was deemed particularly desirable because this species has been and continues to be the subject of extensive biometrical-genetic, ecological, and evolutionary investigation.This paper is the seventh in a series on the ecology and evolution of the pitcher-plant mosquito 相似文献

Callus and cell suspension cultures were established from root and shoot tips of aseptically-grown seedlings of highly cyanogenic Phaseolus lunatus L. varieties. The content of cyanogenic glucosides in the explanted seedling sections decreased during storage, the derived callus cells were free of cyanogenic glycosides. In spite of the non-existence of cyanogenic glucosides, the cyanogen degrading linamarase, the cyanide detoxifying enzyme -cyanoalanine synthase and also hydroxynitrile lyase were still present in suspension cultures. The linamarase activity equalled the total -glucosidase activity, of which up to 80% was found in the culture medium. In contrast the -cyanoalanine synthase and the hydroxy nitrile lyase were entirely localized in the cell biomass.~Botanical Institute, Technical University Braunschweig 相似文献

We studied the effects of tempol, an oxygen radical scavenger, on hydrosaline balance in rats with acute sodium overload. Male rats with free access to water were injected with isotonic (control group) or hypertonic saline solution (0.80 mol/l NaCl) either alone (Na group) or with tempol (Na-T group). Hydrosaline balance was determined during a 90 min experimental period. Protein expressions of aquaporin 1 (AQP1), aquaporin 2 (AQP2), angiotensin II (Ang II) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) were measured in renal tissue. Water intake, creatinine clearance, diuresis and natriuresis increased in the Na group. Under conditions of sodium overload, tempol increased plasma sodium and protein levels and increased diuresis, natriuresis and sodium excretion. Tempol also decreased water intake without affecting creatinine clearance. AQP1 and eNOS were increased and Ang II decreased in the renal cortex of the Na group, whereas AQP2 was increased in the renal medulla. Nonglycosylated AQP1 and eNOS were increased further in the renal cortex of the Na-T group, whereas AQP2 was decreased in the renal medulla and was localized mainly in the cell membrane. Moreover, p47-phox immunostaining was increased in the hypothalamus of Na group, and this increase was prevented by tempol. Our findings suggest that tempol causes hypernatremia after acute sodium overload by inhibiting the thirst mechanism and facilitating diuresis, despite increasing renal eNOS expression and natriuresis. 相似文献

Affinity analysis (AA) is a group of methods for the study of the variation of degrees of compositional relatedness among all of the communities in a landscape. AA cab be used with statistical inference to compare mosaic diversities (89-1) among different landscapes, identify unusual sites within a landscape, and determine when a pair of sites are significantly different from each other. These procedures were done with a set of samples from meadows in the Danube River Valley near Ulm by using random simulations to provide expectations of the summary statistics. The sampling and statistical limitations of AA were discussed. 相似文献
