SummaryThe genome of the house fly, Musca domestica, contains an active transposable element system, called Hermes. Using PCR and inverse PCR we amplified and sequenced overlapping segments of several Hermes elements and from these data we have constructed a 2749 bp consensus Hermes DNA sequence. Hermes termini are composed of 17 bp imperfect inverted repeats that are almost identical to the inverted terminal repeats of the hobo element of Drosophila melanogaster. Full length Hermes elements contain a single long ORF capable of encoding a protein of 612 amino acids which is 55% identical to the amino acid sequence of the hobo transposase. Comparison of the ends of the Hermes and hobo elements to those of the Ac element of Zea mays, and the Tam3 element of Antirrhinum majus, as well as several other plant and insect elements, revealed a conserved terminal sequence motif. Thus Hermes is clearly a member of the hobo, Ac and Tam3 (hAT) transposable element family, other members of which include the Tagl element from Arabidopsis thaliana and the Bg element from Zea mays. The evolution of this class of transposable elements and the potential utility of Hermes as a genetic tool in M. domestica and related species are discussed.

Investigation was carried out to ascertain the genetic architecture for heat tolerance and yield components from diallel crosses in maize (Zea mays L.). The combining ability in both the normal and heat stress conditions revealed highly significant mean squares due to general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) in both the direct and reciprocal crosses for all the characters except for anthesis-silking interval in normal condition of the reciprocal crosses. Estimate of components of variance for 13 characters revealed higher SCA variance than that of GCA and reciprocal crosses for all the characters. CML 411 was good general combiner for grain yield in both the conditions, whereas, CML 306 and CML 307 were good general combiners in heat stress condition, and CML 164, CML 304 and CML 305 were average general combiners in normal condition. On the basis of high yield, high SCA and at least high GCA of seed parent, the CML 411*CML 305 and CML 411*CML 307 were identified as promising hybrids for normal and heat stress conditions, respectively.
