    Notes: Abstract Effects of nitrogen deficiency in hydroponically grown barley seedlings (Hordeum vulgare L.) on the development and reproduction of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) were investigated. Plant growth was significantly reduced in seedlings grown without nitrogen. Aphid intrinsic rate of increase (r m) was also significantly lower on these plants compared with that on plants grown with 8 mol m−3 nitrogen. Phloem sap was collected from seedling stems by aphid stylectomy and amino acids quantified by HPLC. There was a significant reduction in the concentration of non-essential amino acids as a group, but not of essential amino acids. Electrical penetration graphs (EPG) indicated that aphids reached the phloem more quickly and fed for longer on plants grown with nitrogen. This is the first reported study in which this combination of techniques has been used to understand the interactions of an aphid and plant under different environmental conditions.

    Notes: Abstract Results are presented from five years (1990–1995) of a field leaching experiment on a sandy soil in south-west Sweden. The aim was to study N leaching, change in soil organic N and N mineralization in cropping systems with continuous use of liquid manure (two application rates) and catch crops. N leaching from drains, N uptake in crops and mineral N in the soil were measured. Simulation models were used to calculate the N budget and N mineralization in the soil and to make predictions of improved fertilization strategies in relation to manure applications and changing the time for incorporation of catch crops. In treatments without catch crops, a normal and a double application of manure increased average N leaching by 15 and 34%, respectively, compared to treatment with commercial fertilizer. Catch crops reduced N leaching by, on average, 60% in treatments with a normal application of manure and commercial fertilizer, but only by 35% in the treatment with double the normal application rate of manure. Incorporation of catch crops in spring increased simulated net N mineralization during the crop vegetation period, and also during early autumn. In conclusion, manured systems resulted in larger N leaching than those receiving commercial fertilizer, mainly due to larger applications of mineral N in spring. More careful adaptation of commercial N fertilization with respect to the amounts of NH4-N applied with manure could, according to the simulations, reduce N leaching. Under-sown ryegrass catch crops effectively reduced N leaching in manured systems. Incorporating catch crop residues in late autumn instead of spring might be preferable with respect to N availability in the soil for the next crop, and would not increase N leaching.

    Notes: Abstract Genetic markers were searched using PCR with 40 kinds of decanucleotide primers to investigate DNA polymorphism in Panonychuscitri. A region consisting of a variable number of CT tandem repeats (microsatellite) was found in a fragment amplified with the OPB10 primer. The microsatellite differed in size by ca. 100 bp among several P. citri populations screened and was derived from at least seven alleles. This region was characteristic of P. mori and P. osmanthi, but was lacking in P. ulmi. The flanking regions were highly conserved among these species.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Due largely to unprecedented land-use changes in the Porijõgi River catchment (southern Estonia) losses of nutrients and organic matter have decreased significantly. During the period 1987–1997 abandoned lands increased from 1.7 to 10.5% and arable lands decreased from 41.8 to 23.9%. At the same time, the runoff of total-N, total-P, SO4 and organic matter (after BOD5) decreased from 25.9 to 5.1, 0.32 to 0.13, 78 to 48, and 7.4 to 3.5 kg ha−1 yr−1, respectively. The most significant decreases occurred in agricultural subcatchments while the changes were insignificant in the forested upper course catchment. A simple empirical model which incorporates land-use pattern, fertilization intensity, soil parameters and water discharge accurately described the variations of total-N and total-P runoff in both the whole catchment and its agricultural subcatchments (R 2 varies from 0.95–0.99 for N to 0.49–0.93 for P). In small agricultural subcatchments the rate of fertilization is found the most important factor for nitrogen runoff, whereas in larger mosaic watersheds land use pattern plays the main role. Seven alternative scenarios compiled on the base of the empirical model allow to forecast potential nitrogen and phosphorus losses from the catchment. This information can be used in further landscape and regional planning of the whole region.

    Notes: Abstract The levels of genetic diversity were compared by means of 35 allozyme, 60 RAPD, and 25 microsatellite (SSR) markers for 75–175 individuals of tetraploid wild emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccoides) collected in 1993 from a microgeographic microsite, Ammiad, north of the Sea of Galilee, Israel. This microsite included four major habitats, which showed highly significant differentiation in ecological factors, in particular with respect to rock cover, proximity and height, and surface soil moisture in the early growing season of T. dicoccoides. Higher within-subpopulation genetic diversity was found in the primarily non-coding DNA regions (RAPD and SSR) rather than in the protein-coding (allozymes) regions. However, much larger gene differentiation (G ST) among the subpopulations was observed in the protein-coding allozymes than in the RAPDs and SSRs. Larger genetic distance was found at SSR loci, followed by allozyme and RAPD loci. The subpopulations in drier habitats tend to have higher allozyme, RAPD and SSR diversities (He), the relatively wet Karst subpopulation showed only about half He of the other relatively drier habitats. The subpopulations with larger difference of soil moisture between habitats tend to show larger genetic distances at allozyme, RAPD and SSR loci. These results suggest that climatic selection through aridity stress may be an important factor acting on both structural protein-coding and presumably partly regulatory non-coding DNA regions, resulting in microscale adaptive patterns, although hitchhiking and random drift may also intervene. These results have profound implications for genetic conservation both in situ and ex situ.

    Notes: Abstract Four new eastern Australian Fontainea species have beenrecently described and all have a limited distribution. F.oraria is the rarest, being restricted to 10 adult individualswithin a single site in regrowth littoral rainforest. In order todevelop adequate management strategies, this study was aimed atsurveying the genetic variability remaining within the species by usingRAPD analysis. To assist with the correct interpretation of the results,a matching study was conducted on four populations of the closelyrelated F. australis. Similar amounts of within-populationgenetic diversity were recorded for both species. The RAPD-based studysuggested that adult plants are contributing unevenly to successivegenerations. RAPD analysis also recognised a close evolutionaryrelationship between F. oraria and F. australis.Sequencing of cpDNA (trnL-F) and nrDNA (ITS2) regions,confirmed recent divergence and possibly some historical reticulationbetween these two species and two other members of the genus. Ofparticular interest was the recognition that one of the F.australis populations (Limpinwood) represented a novel genotypiccombination in need of conservation attention. The implications of theRAPD and sequencing results are discussed in reference to theirinfluence upon the development of adequate conservation strategies forall important conservation units.

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract  All members of Rosa section Caninae, dogroses are polyploid and characterized by their unbalanced meiosis, which in most cases leads to a pronounced morphological influence from the maternal parent. In a previous investigation on a pair of reciprocal crosses between two species in this section, Rosa dumalis and R. rubiginosa (2n=35), nine offspring plants (approximately 10%) did not receive any of the 21 RAPD markers present in the respective pollen parent. This was interpreted as a possible occurrence of apomixis. These nine plants have now been subjected to a further study with additional markers. Thirteen new RAPD markers showed the same result as in the previous investigation: none of the nine plants inherited any of the pollen donor markers. The reproducibility of the RAPD markers was checked by mixing DNA samples to obtain a series of artificial hybrids between the two parent plants. Twelve RAPD markers gave the expected result, whereas one marker appeared only 50% of the time. In addition, pollen viability, mean number of seeds per hip, mean seed weight, and mean weight of fruit flesh per hip have been studied on the four progeny groups: R. dumalis×R. rubiginosa plants which received pollen donor markers (PM plants), R. dumalis×R. rubiginosa plants which did not receive any pollen donor markers (NPM plants), R. rubiginosa×R. dumalis PM plants and R. rubiginosa×R. dumalis NPM plants. A canonical discriminant analysis based on these four reproductive characters separated the four progeny groups. There were significant differences between the two PM groups in all investigated characters, and also between the PM and the NPM groups in pollen viability. The result from the RAPD markers together with the differences in pollen viability between the PM and NPM progeny groups is taken as an indication that apomixis occurs within the Caninae section.

    Notes: Abstract  Citrus phylogeny was investigated using RAPD, SCAR and cpDNA markers. The genotypes analyzed included 36 accessions belonging to Citrus together with 1 accession from each of the related genera Poncirus, Fortunella, Microcitrus and Eremocitrus. Phylogenetic analysis with 262 RAPDs and 14 SCARs indicated that Fortunella is phylogenetically close to Citrus while the other three related genera are distant from Citrus and from each other. Within Citrus, the separation into two subgenera, Citrus and Papeda, designated by Swingle, was clearly observed except for C. celebica and C. indica. Almost all the accessions belonging to subgenus Citrus fell into three clusters, each including 1 genotype that was considered to be a true species. Different phylogenetic relationships were revealed with cpDNA data. Citrus genotypes were separated into subgenera Archicitrus and Metacitrus, as proposed by Tanaka, while the division of subgenera Citrus and Papeda disappeared. C. medica and C. indica were quite distant from other citrus as well from related genera. C. ichangensis appeared to be the ancestor of the mandarin cluster, including C. tachibana. Lemon and Palestine sweet lime were clustered into the Pummelo cluster led by C. latipes. C. aurantifolia was located in the Micrantha cluster. Furthermore, genetic origin was studied on 17 cultivated citrus genotypes by the same molecular markers, and a hybrid origin was hypothesized for all the tested genotypes. The assumptions are discussed with respect to previous studies; similar results were obtained for the origin of orange and grapefruit. Hybrids of citron and sour orange were assumed for lemon, Palestine sweet lime, bergamot and Volkamer lemon, while a citron × mandarin hybrid was assumed for Rangpur lime and Rough lemon. For Mexican lime our molecular data indicated C. micrantha to be the female parent and C. medica as the male one.

    Notes: Abstract  RAPD markers were used to study inter-specific variation among six species of the genus Digitalis: D. obscura, D. lanata, D. grandiflora, D. purpurea, D. thapsi and D. dubia, and the hybrid D. excelsior (D. purpurea×D. grandiflora). A total of 91 highly reproducible bands amplified with four arbitrarily chosen decamer primers were obtained. Homology of the co-emigrating RAPD markers was tested by blot hybridisation and sequencing of selected bands. The application of a range of statistical approaches for RAPD data analysis, including distance and parsimony methods, family clustering and the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), indicated that these molecular markers were taxonomically informative in Digitalis. The species relationships revealed were fully consistent with those previously obtained using morphological affinities. The hybrid D. excelsior seems to have stronger affinity to the section Digitalis than to Grandiflorae. This is the first known report of the application of RAPD markers for the study of genetic relationships among species of the genus Digitalis.
