A nulli-haploid plant (2n = 20) was found in the progeny of an induced monosomic line of Avena sativa L. var. Rodney (2n = 6x = 42). At metaphase 1, the number of associations ranged from 1 to 6 with a mean frequency of 3.5. The pairing frequency can best be explained by the absence of a genetic system, similar to that of chromosome 5B in Triticum aestivum, which would control the diploidisation of hexaploid oats.Chromosomes were associated terminally with an occasional interstitial chiasma. Closed bivalents were rare, and the frequency of trivalent associations was low. This meiotic behaviour confirms the genetic evidence as to the homoeology of the three genomes of the hexaploid oats, but seems to indicate a great deal of structural divergence between them.It is suggested that the long sub-terminal chromosome 7 might carry the gene for diploidisation.

Chromosome pairing in the F1 hybrid between the cultivated oat Avena sativa and a diploid species A. ventricosa, and in the derived amphiploid, shows that the diploid species is related to one of the genomes of the hexaploid species. The amount of chromosome pairing observed in complex interamphiploid hybrids demonstrates further that A. ventricosa is related to the C. genome of A. sativa. However, the chromosomes of the diploid species have become differentiated from that of the C genome of A. sativa and this is readily apparent in the meiotic behaviour of both the F1 hybrid and the amphiploid.

O consumo alimentar de larvas de 3º estádio de Phytalus sanctipauli Blanch. foi estudado em laboratório. Os insetos foram criados individualmente e alimentados com aveia (Avena sativa), milho (Zea mays) ou trigo (Triticum aestivum) ou com as três espécies juntas. A quantidade (massa seca) ingerida de raiz e semente, respectivamente, foi maior em trigo (28,5 mg), menor em aveia (16,4 mg) e intermediária no milho (22,6 mg). O consumo de folha foi semelhante em aveia (18,2 mg) e trigo (19,8 mg) e significativamente superior ao de milho (2,1 mg). Avaliando-se a plântula como um todo, o consumo de trigo foi superior tanto quando as espécies vegetais foram oferecidas isoladamente (89,8 mg) quanto em conjunto (56,9 mg). O peso fresco médio das larvas ao término da alimentação foi maior em trigo (100,2 mg) e milho (102,2 mg) do que em aveia (85,9 mg). O número médio de plantas destruído por larva foi marcadamente maior em trigo e aveia (27,4 e 24,9, respectivamente) comparado com milho (0,9).

In this study, we investigated the population growth of the Liposcelis yunnaniensis (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae) feeding on ten different diets. Out of the ten diets, eight were made of plain cereals namely wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.), corn ( Zea mays L.), barley ( Hordeum vulgar L.), oats ( Avena sativa L.), rice ( Oryza sative L.), and sorghum ( Sorghum bicolour L.) while two were the artificial diets named Nayak wheat diet and Universal diet. The population growth was recorded as corn > wheat > universal diet > hulled barley > rice (hulls intact) > barley (hulls intact) > sorghum > Nayak wheat diet > oats > hulled rice. After 32 d culture, the initial 5 psocids developed to the populations as 41.8 ± 4.26, 41.5 ± 4.09 and 39.1 ± 7.64 on corn, wheat and universal diet, respectively. Meanwhile, psocids feeding on Nayak wheat diet, oats and hulled rice had significantly lower populations with 25.6 ± 2.42, 22.5 ± 3.09 and 13.6 ± 2.36 respectively. Rice and barley were included in the diets with and without hulls to see their effect on population growth. In case of barley, hulls had no significant effect on population growth while rice with hulls had significantly higher populations than rice alone. This study has confirmed the relative level of suitability of different cereals for this species when damaged. We have described a method to get the uniform age adults that can be helpful in research experiments.

La presente investigación se realizó en el año 1996, en el distrito Cot, cantón Oreamu-no, provincia Cartago. La topografía de la finca es irregular y se ubica a una altitud de 2.100 msnm. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la adaptabilidad de una colección de 13 ce-reales forrajeros, nueve variedades de Avena (Avena sativa), tres de Trigo (un Triticum se-cale y dos Triticum aestivum) y una de Cebada (Hordeum vulgare). El diseño experimental utilizado, fue de bloques completos al azar, con tres repeticiones, representando cada cul-tivar un tratamiento. Las variables evaluadas fueron: cobertura, altura, plagas, producción de biomasa y valor nutritivo. En cuanto a las variables cobertura y altura los valores fueronaltos en todos los cultivares cosechados, superiores a 90% y 75 cm respectivamente, losTriticum y la Hordeum vulgare fueron inferiores a las avenas en ambos aspectos. La única enfermedad que se presentó fue la Puccinia sp. eliminando por completo las avenas Ne-huén, Dula, Gaviota y Llaofén y afectando levemente (5% del follaje afectado) los cereales Culgoa II, Águila y Triticum secale. Los demás cereales no fueron dañados por ninguna pla-ga. La producción de biomasa en los diferentes cultivares osciló en un rango de 6,8 y 15,5 t/ha/corte. El análisis de varianza para esta variable mostró diferencias entre cultivaresP=0,01 y P=0,001 para t/ha/corte y tasa de crecimiento respectivamente. Según los altos rendimientos de materia seca, adecuado valor nutritivo y ausencia de plagas, se puede con-cluir que los cereales que mejor se adaptaron a la zona en estudio fueron las avenas Riel, Nobby y Amby. Se debe continuar investigando con los cultivares sobresalientes bajo pas-toreo y en sustitución de alimentos balanceados.

Entre las enfermedades que afectan al cultivo de maíz (Zea mays) en Argentina, la producida por el virus del mal de Río Cuarto (MRCV) es la más importante. El MRCV pertenece a la familia Reoviridae, género Fijivirus, y su propagación en la naturaleza es realizada por Delphacodes kuscheli (Hemiptera: Delphacidae). La modalidad de transmisión para los miembros de este género de virus es persistente propagativa. Se estableció la necesidad de ajustar un sistema de transmisión eficiente del virus para estudios de caracterización, partiendo de poblaciones libres de virus criadas en laboratorio, para lo cual se ensayaron distintos períodos de adquisición, latencia e inoculación, evaluándose además un rango de hospedantes diferenciales. Se lograron obtener insectos libres de virus en cantidad suficiente para llevar a cabo los trabajos, mediante su cría en fitotrones y cámaras aclimatadas. La transmisión experimental del MRCV se efectuó exitosamente, bajo idénticas condiciones, empleando períodos de adquisición, latencia e inoculación de dos, 10 y uno día respectivamente para los cereales de grano fino y de dos, 10 y dos días para el maíz. Se infectaron de este modo las siguientes especies: maíz, cebada (Hordeum vulgare), avena (Avena sativa), trigo (Triticum aestivum), centeno (Secale cereale), grama rhodes (Chloris gayana) y alpiste (Phalaris canariensis). La detección del virus en las plantas inoculadas se efectuó mediante pruebas serológicas, análisis de dsRNA en electroforesis en gel de poliacrilamida (obteniéndose las 10 bandas típicas de los fijivirus) y microscopía electrónica, detectándose las partículas isométricas de entre 60 y 70 nm de diámetro.

In the greenhouse, five crops were grown in soil containing trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at 3 to 24 ppm. Based on seedling yields, corn (Zea mays L., var. Morden 88) and oats (Avena sativa L., var. Rodney) were relatively tolerant to TCA at all rates, barley (Hordeum vulgare L., var. Conquest) and rye (Secale cereale L., var. Antelope) were tolerant at lower rates, but wheat (Triticum aestivum L., var. Manitou) suffered injury at all rates. When TCA-2-14C was applied to the roots of wheat and oats seedlings in water or nutrient solution, wheat seedlings absorbed more TCA-2-14C than oats. Potassium cyanide (KCN) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) decreased TCA-2-14C absorption by wheat more than that by oats. From 5 to 21 days after application, wheat retained two to four times as much TCA-2-14C as oats. Thus, half of the TCA-2-14C in shoots and roots of wheat disappeared in 11.3 and 11.4 days, respectively, compared with 7.9 and 3.5 days for oats. Based on this investigation, the difference in susceptibility of wheat and oats to TCA appeared to be governed by the metabolic processes involved in absorption and dissipation.
