Three ItalianLoliumweed populations, one susceptible and two resistant to diclofop, were characterized by the technique of inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR). The goal of this study was to taxonomically identify theseLoliumpopulations as well as to evaluate evidence for introgression of ISSR fragments fromFestucaand the potential role of this introgression in the diclofop response. ISSR analysis confirmed the genomic background of the weed populations to be consistent with that ofLolium. However, the great range of variation in ISSR banding patterns highlighted that the three ryegrass accessions are mixed populations made up of individuals resulting presumably from intrageneric and intergeneric hybridization in theLolium–Festucacomplex. TwoFestucagenus-discriminating and 20Festucaspecies-discriminating ISSR markers were screened among all the three ryegrass populations. The resistant Tuscania population carried the highest percentage ofFestucagenome (16.8%) followed by the resistant Roma (13.6%) and susceptible Vetralla (7.6%) populations. On the basis of these data some influence ofFestucagenome in diclofop resistance levels of studied ryegrass populations could be hypothesized.

Sixty-three rifampicin-resistant (Rifr) isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, were analysed for mutations in the core region (69 bp, codons 511–533) of the rpoB gene. Some 84.1 % (53/63) of the resistant isolates showed mutations in this region, especially in codons 531 (41.5 %), 526 (18.9 %), 516 (15.1 %) and 533 (7.5 %). Five novel alleles of a total of 16 different types of mutations were identified in Rifr isolates. Ten Rifr isolates (15.9 %) exhibited no mutations in the core region of rpoB. Also, they did not show mutations in another 365 bp fragment (codons 99–220) of rpoB. The agar proportion method was used to determine the relationship between the degree of rifampicin resistance and alterations in the core region of rpoB. The results revealed that the mean MIC was 92.38 μg ml−1 for the 53 isolates with a mutation in the core region, whereas the mean MIC of the other 10 isolates without mutations was only 24.8 μg ml−1. This indicates that the isolates with mutations in the core region had higher levels of resistance than those without mutations in this region. IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was used for typing of 55 Rifr M. tuberculosis isolates. Isolates contained two to 19 copies of IS6110, with sizes ranging from 600 to 16 000 bp. The majority (85 %) contained six to 16 copies. No strains lacking IS6110 were found. A total of 54 of 55 RFLP types were defined at the 90 % similarity level. The observation of varied IS6110-associated banding patterns indicates that an outbreak of drug-resistant tuberculosis did not occur in this area.

AbstractConservation of identified germplasm is an important component for efficient and effective management of plant genetic resources. Since Chlorophytum species are important medicinal plants, studies were carried out for identification and establish genetic relationships in three species of Chlorophytum and two high yielding genotypes of Chlorophtum borivilianum using RAPD markers. Out of one hundred primers tested, 47 decamers amplified a total of 454 distinct bands ranging from 0.25–3.0 kbp to identify and to evaluate genetic relationships between and among three species of Chlorophytum and two genotypes of Chlorophtum borivilianum. The cluster analysis indicated that three species of Chlorophytum and two genotypes (NRCCB-1 and NRCCB-2) of C. borivilianum formed two major clusters. The first major cluster constituted C. arundinaceum and C. tuberosum, and the second major cluster composed of two subclusters; the first subcluster represented NRCB-1 and NRCB-2 where as the second subcluster represented C. borivilianum. Thus, the RAPD markers have the potential for identification and characterization of genetic relatedness among the species and genotypes. C. borivilianum along with two genotypes also showed similar banding patterns which could be chosen as candidate markers for differentiating the other two species such as C. arundinaceum and C. tuberosum. This would helpful for breeding programmes and provides an important input in conservation biology.

Sex Determination Mechanisms

Pistacia chinensis Bunge is widely acknowledged to be dioecious, but rare monoecious individuals have been found. However, the origin of monoecism and the sex differentiation of different sex types remain intriguing questions. Here, sex expressions were explored by identification of sex-associated DNA markers, determination of the sex stability after grafting, and histological characterization of inflorescence bud development using anatomical analysis. The results showed that (1) although polymorphisms among individuals existed, the banding patterns of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) products for different sex types on the same monoecious tree were consistent; (2) the sex expressions of grafted trees were not consistent with those of scions, indicating that monoecism probably did not originate from a stable bud mutation; and (3) both males and females underwent a bisexual period, then the stamen primordia in female buds degenerated into the second round tepals, while the pistil primordia in male buds gradually disappeared. During the sex differentiation phase, female buds were spindle-shaped, while the male buds were full teardrop-shaped, and male buds were bigger than female buds. Taken together, no sex-associated DNA marker was found, sex expressions were unstable after grafting, and the alternative sex organs appeared in the early stage of sex differentiation, suggesting that sex determination occurred during floral development instead of the early vegetative period. These results indicated that the sex expressions may be affected by environmental factors, increasing the understanding of sex determination mechanisms in P. chinensis and other species.

<p style="text-align: justify;">61 tunisian autochton grapevine varieties have been collected for biochemical identification. Isozymes analysis with starch gel electrophoresis technique was used to confirn or to cancel random denominations awarded to the majority of these local varieties. In our conditions, concentrated plant extracts were obtained from vigorous donnant canes newly cut off from selected mother plants during automn. These allowed us to dispose of rigorously interpretable isozyme banding patterns of GPI and PGM systems and to overcome difficulties often related to the use of PGM system. The study of GPII and PGM enzyme systems allowed us to classify the autochton accessions into 16 different groups from which 5 groups containing only 2 or 3 varieties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, the study of AAT and peroxydase enzyme systems has shown stable and legible isozyme banding patterns allowing to discriminate between equivalent accessions such as Sakasly and Kahli (two black local vines very similar), 3 varieties of Bidh Hamem (Bidh Hamem, Bidh Hamem Rafraf and Bidh Hamem Sfax), and 2 varieties of Bezzoul Kelba Bidha (Sfax and Gabes). In addition, certain varieties having for longtime the same denominations were characterized. A case of point the 4 varieties Khalt meaning mixture (Bouchemma, Abiedh, Mdaouer and Souche 1) and the 3 varieties of Arich (Ahmar, Dressée, and Jerba) were proved to be completely different from each other. In the same way, Bezzoul Khadem has been differed from Hemri variety. The complementary use of berry colour allowed to discriminate between Saouadi, Khdhiri and Jebbi varieties and to subdivise the remainig groups into sub-groups.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The study of GPI, PGM, AAT and peroxydase isozyme banding patterns in combination with berry colour has led to establish a classification of the 61 autochton varieties into 37 groups including 26 varieties definitely differentiated through the results of this biochemical study.</p>

Triple Staining

The application of the counterstain-contrasted fluorescent banding technique to canine chromosomes provided an improved capability to highlight specific heterochromatic regions and to produce well defined banding patterns both on mitotic and meiotic chromosomes. Triple staining with chromomycin A3 – distamycin A – DAPI revealed the occurrence of DA – DAPI positive heterochromatin in chromosomes 33, 36, 37, and 38. Pachytene nuclei present more favourable material for the detection of very small amounts of DA – DAPI material than mitotic division stages. Counterstain-enhanced chromomycin R-banding greatly facilitated chromosome identification. A standard R-band karyotype of Canis familiaris is proposed and described in some detail. DAPI – actinomycin D staining produced a QFH-type banding pattern and enhanced differentiation of some polymorphic regions.

ABSTRACT Direct enumeration and genetic analyses indicate that aquatic sediments harbor abundant and diverse viral communities. Thus far, synecological analysis of estuarine sediment viral diversity over an annual cycle has not been reported. This oversight is due in large part to a lack of molecular genetic approaches for assessing viral diversity within a large collection of environmental samples. Here, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA PCR (RAPD-PCR) was used to examine viral genotypic diversity within Chesapeake Bay sediments. Using a single 10-mer oligonucleotide primer for all samples, RAPD-PCR analysis of sediment viral assemblages yielded unique banding patterns across spatial and temporal scales, with the occurrence of specific bands varying among the sample set. Cluster analysis of RAPD-PCR amplicon banding patterns indicated that sediment viral assemblages changed with season and to a lesser extent with geographic location. Sequence analysis of RAPD-PCR amplicons revealed that 76% of sediment viral sequences were not homologous to any sequence in the GenBank nonredundant protein database. Of the GenBank sequence homologs, the majority belonged to viruses within the Podoviridae (24%) and Myoviridae (22%) viral families, which agrees with the previously observed frequencies of these morphological families in Chesapeake Bay sediments. Furthermore, the majority of the sediment viral sequences homologous to GenBank nonredundant protein sequences were phages or prophages (57%). Hence, RAPD-PCR proved to be a reliable and useful approach for characterization of viral assemblages and the genetic diversity of viruses within aquatic sediments.
