Abstract Previously, Tox1 was defined as a single genetic element controlling the difference between races of Cochliobolus heterostrophus: race T is highly virulent on T-cytoplasm corn and produces the polyketide T-toxin; race O is weakly virulent and does not produce T-toxin. Here we report that Tox1 is two loci, Tox1A and Tox1B, on two different chromosomes. Evidence for two loci derives from: (1) the appearance of 25% Tox+ progeny in crosses between induced Tox1– mutants, one defective at Tox1A, the other at Tox1B; (2) the ability of Tox1A– + Tox1B– heterokaryons to complement for T-toxin production; and (3) electrophoretic karyotypes proving that Tox1– mutations are physically located on two different chromosomes. Data showing Tox1 as a single genetic element are reconciled with those proving it is two loci by the fact that Tox1 is inseparably linked to the breakpoints of a reciprocal translocation; the translocation results in a four-armed linkage group. In crosses where the translocation is heterozygous (i.e., race T by race O), all markers linked to the four-armed intersection appear linked to each other; in crosses between induced Tox1– mutants, complications due to the translocation are eliminated and the two loci segregate independently.

SUMMARYTwo spontaneously arising chromosome rearrangements were isolated in Sordaria brevicollis from one perithecium. These were detected through increased production of black spores in intercrosses of complementing buff spore colour mutants. One was a reciprocal translocation between linkage groups I and II; the other a reciprocal translocation between linkage groups II and VI. In the former case the translocation resulted in frequent non-disjunction generating black spores which were either tertiary or interchange disomics. The frequency of premature centromere division was also increased. In the case of the translocation involving linkage groups II and VI the black spores were formed as a result of adjacent-1 segregation and were probably duplication/deficiency products.In both rearrangements the breakpoint in linkage group II was, as far as could be judged, in an identical place. This and the fact that they were isolated from a single fruiting body, suggests that the chromosome breakage event arose as a potential lesion, which replicated before the potential break was either restituted, to restore a normal chromosome, or opened, to form the rearrangements.

Tight Association

A reciprocal translocation and one or more apparent insertions are shown to be tightly associated with Tox1, a locus controlling T-toxin production and host-selective virulence in race T of the maize pathogen Cochliobolus heterostrophus. Chromosome arrangements were examined by separating chromosomal DNAs of a variety of Tox+ and Tox− strains by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and hybridizing with probes known to detect RFLPs genetically linked to Tox1. The existence of the translocation was demonstrated by chromosome hybridization patterns; the existence of the putative insertion(s) was deduced from chromosome migration rates. Both differences in chromosome arrangement were detected between 8 Tox+ and 8 Tox− near-isogenic laboratory strains, suggesting that the differences are tightly linked to Tox1. The reciprocal translocation was also detected between all 7 Tox+ and 8 Tox− field isolates examined, suggesting that the translocation is common in natural populations. The field isolates may also differ by the insertion(s); however, numerous additional chromosome size polymorphisms in the field isolates prevented a firm conclusion. The tight association of the translocation and insertion(s) with T-toxin production suggests that chromosome rearrangements may have been involved in the evolution of race T and Tox1. These genomic differences may be causally related to the previously reported reduced fitness of race T relative to race O on N-cytoplasm maize. Key words : chromosome rearrangement, southern corn leaf blight, pulsed-field electrophoresis, T-toxin, evolution.

SUMMARYIf heterozygotes for a reciprocal translocation are intercrossed, some of their viable balanced progeny result from the fusion of unbalanced gametes with complementary duplications and deficiencies of the translocated segments. Therefore, if one parent in such an intercross is homozygous for a genetic marker on one of the segments concerned, some homozygous offspring will be produced even if the other parent does not have the marker. The expected frequency of such exceptional offspring among live-born is one-sixth if the marker is on the distal (non-centromeric) side of the point of exchange and single chiasmata normally occur in each interstitial segment. Much lower frequencies are expected if the marker is on the centromeric side, since duplications and deficiencies of proximal segments occur only as a consequence of adjacent-2 disjunction, in which homologous centromeres proceed to the same pole. This is rarer than normal disjunction. Thus, by comparing the frequencies of offspring homozygous for markers on one or other side of the point of exchange, it is possible (i) to determine which marker is in the centromeric segment, (ii) to estimate the frequency of adjacent-2 disjunction, given information on the nature of meiotic configurations in the translocation concerned.By this method, it is shown that the frequency of adjacent-2 disjunction is similar in heterozygotes for mouse translocations (T5;18)26H, T(13; ?) 70H and T(14;17)264Ca, averaging 13%. Centromeres were located at the Sd end of linkage group V (confirming previous findings), the fz end of XIII and the bg end of XIV.

The Difference

SummaryThe authors previously reported a transient decrease in adhesive platelet count and an enhancement of blood coagulability after administration of a small amount of adrenaline (0.1-1 µg per Kg, i. v.) in man and rabbit. In such circumstances, the sensitivity of platelets to aggregation induced by ADP was studied by an optical density method. Five minutes after i. v. injection of 1 µg per Kg of adrenaline in 10 rabbits, intensity of platelet aggregation increased to 115.1 ± 4.9% (mean ± S. E.) by 10∼5 molar, 121.8 ± 7.8% by 3 × 10-6 molar and 129.4 ± 12.8% of the value before the injection by 10”6 molar ADP. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01-0.05). The above change was not observed in each group of rabbits injected with saline, 1 µg per Kg of 1-noradrenaline or 0.1 and 10 µg per Kg of adrenaline. Also, it was prevented by oral administration of 10 mg per Kg of phenoxybenzamine or propranolol or aspirin or pyridinolcarbamate 3 hours before the challenge. On the other hand, the enhancement of ADP-induced platelet aggregation was not observed in vitro, when 10-5 or 3 × 10-6 molar and 129.4 ± 12.8% of the value before 10∼6 molar ADP was added to citrated platelet rich plasma (CPRP) of rabbit after incubation at 37°C for 30 second with 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 µg per ml of adrenaline or noradrenaline. These results suggest an important interaction between endothelial surface and platelets in connection with the enhancement of ADP-induced platelet aggregation by adrenaline in vivo.

This chapter presents the equations and calculations for energy approximation. It establishes the estimates (261) and (262) of the Main Lemma (10.1) for continuous solutions; these estimates state that we are able to accurately prescribe the energy that the correction adds to the solution, as well as bound the difference between the time derivatives of these two quantities. The chapter also introduces the proposition for prescribing energy, followed by the relevant computations. Each integral contributing to the other term can be estimated. Another proposition for estimating control over the rate of energy variation is given. Finally, the coarse scale material derivative is considered.

As If

Rhetoric has always been torn between the rhetoric of figures and the rhetoric of conflicts or arguments, as if rhetoric were exclusively one or the other. This is a false dilemma. Both types of rhetoric hinge on the same structure. A common formula is provided in Chapter 3 which unifies rhetoric stricto sensu and rhetoric as argumentation as two distinct but related strategies adopted according to the level of problematicity of the questions at stake, thereby giving unity to the field called “Rhetoric.” Highly problematic questions require arguments to justify their answers; non-divisive ones can be treated rhetorically through their answers as if they were self-evident. Another classic problem is how to understand the difference between logic and rhetoric. The difference between the two is due to the presence of questions explicitly answered in the premises in logic and only suggested (or remaining indeterminate) in rhetoric.

The Relationship

The respiratory rates of three species of planktonic copepods, Acartia clausi, Centropages hamatus and Temora longicornis, were measured at four different temperatures.The relationship between respiratory rate and temperature was found to be similar to that previously found for Calanus, although the slope of the curves differed in the different species.The observations on Centropages at 13 and 170 C. can be divided into two groups and it is suggested that the differences are due to the use of copepods from two different generations.The relationship between the respiratory rates and lengths of Acartia and Centropages agreed very well with that previously found for other species. That for Temora was rather different: the difference is probably due to the distinct difference in the shape of the body of Temora from those of the other species.The application of these measurements to estimates of the food requirements of the copepods is discussed.

Abstract We have analyzed a set of linkage group (LG) II maternal-effect lethal mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans isolated by a new screening procedure. Screens of 12,455 F1 progeny from mutagenized adults resulted in the recovery of 54 maternal-effect lethal mutations identifying 29 genes. Of the 54 mutations, 39 are strict maternal-effect mutations defining 17 genes. These 17 genes fall into two classes distinguished by frequency of mutation to strict maternal-effect lethality. The smaller class, comprised of four genes, mutated to strict maternal-effect lethality at a frequency close to 5 X 10(-4), a rate typical of essential genes in C. elegans. Two of these genes are expressed during oogenesis and required exclusively for embryogenesis (pure maternal genes), one appears to be required specifically for meiosis, and the fourth has a more complex pattern of expression. The other 13 genes were represented by only one or two strict maternal alleles each. Two of these are identical genes previously identified by nonmaternal embryonic lethal mutations. We interpret our results to mean that although many C. elegans genes can mutate to strict maternal-effect lethality, most genes mutate to that phenotype rarely. Pure maternal genes, however, are among a smaller class of genes that mutate to maternal-effect lethality at typical rates. If our interpretation is correct, we are near saturation for pure maternal genes in the region of LG II balanced by mnC1. We conclude that the number of pure maternal genes in C. elegans is small, being probably not much higher than 12.
