    Notes: Summary We present a highly sensitive method that has been applied to map the chromosomal origin of the prominent cell surface antigen of Ewing's tumor cells recognized by monoclonal antibody HBA-71. The technique allows an unambiguous identification of human chromosomal material in interspecific cell hybrids. This is achieved by fluorescent in situ hybridization of biotinylated total human DNA, followed by high resolution fluorescence banding with the chromomycin/distamycin/ DAPI triple stain. An advantage of this method is that all signals can be visualized in one single operation by simply switching the appropriate filter blocks. The protocol has proved extremely useful in gene mapping by means of interspecific cell hybrids, a technique that depends on the accurate and unambiguous recognition of the relevant (e.g., human) genetic material in the clonal genome. Our studies confirm that this antigen is the product of the MIC2 gene, which is so far the only well-studied pseudoautosomal gene in man, and which is located on the short arms of chromosomes X and Y. Furthermore, no influence of the Ewing's tumor-specific translocation t(11;22) on MIC2 expression could be discerned.

    Notes: Summary The interaction of density and mycorrhizal effects on the growth, mineral nutrition and size distribution of seedlings of two perennial members of the Fabaceae was investigated in pot culture. Seedlings of Otholobium hirtum and Aspalathus linearis were grown at densities of 1, 4, 8 and 16 plants per 13-cm pot with or without vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal inoculum for 120 days. Plant mass, relative growth rates, height and leaf number all decreased with increasing plant density. This was ascribed to the decreasing availability of phosphorus per plant as density increased. O. hirtum was highly dependent on mycorrhizas for P uptake but both mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal A. linearis seedlings were able to extract soil P with equal ease. Plant size distribution as measured by the coefficient of variation (CV) of shoot mass was greater at higher densities. CVs of mycorrhizal O. hirtum plants were higher than those of non-mycorrhizal plants. CVs of the facultatively mycorrhizal A. linearis were similar for both mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants. Higher CVs are attributed to resource preemption by larger individuals. Individuals in populations with high CVs will probably survive stress which would result in the extinction of populations with low CVs. Mass of mycorrhizal plants of both species decreased more rapidly with increasing density than did non-mycorrhizal plant mass. It is concluded that the cost of being mycorrhizal increases as plant density increases, while the benefit decreases. The results suggest that mycorrhizas will influence density-dependent population processes of faculative and obligate mycorrhizal species.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es werden Strukturmechanismen von internen thermischen Reaktionen von Dehydratation und Dehydroxylierung sowie der Kristallisierung der entstehenden amorphen Reaktionsprodukte betrachtet. Dabei handelt es sich um mehrstufige Prozesse, die über kleine translative Verschiebungen von polimerisierten Elementen des Anionennetzwerkes und durch Diffusionsverschiebung von Kationen ablaufen. Dies ist der Weg zum Gleichgewichtszustand mit dem geringsten Energieverbrauch und der niedrigsten, zu überwindenden Energiebarriere.
    Notes: Abstract Structural mechanism of the internal thermal reactions of dehydration and dehydroxylation as of solids well as crystallization of their amorphous products and glasses are considered. They are multi-stage processes, realized through small translative displacements of polymerized anion network elements and diffusional shift of cations. It is the way to equilibrium state of the lowest energy consumption and the least energetic barrier to overcome.

    Notes: Abstract We have examined expression of several insecticidal crystal protein (ICP) genes of Bacillus thuringiensis in transgenic tobacco plants and electroporated carrot protoplasts. We determined that low levels of lepidopteran toxin cryIA(b) ICP gene expression in plants and electroporated carrot cells is due to RNA instability. We used a series of 3′ deleted cryIA(b) constructs directed by the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter to demonstrate that this instability is minimally contained in the first 579 bases of the gene in both systems. This instability may result from 5′ → 3′ as well as 3′ → 5′ RNA metabolism. The coleopteran toxic cryIIIA gene was also examined in electroporated carrot cells, and found to be poorly expressed. A model for improvement of ICP RNA stability in plants is presented.

    Notes: Abstract We describe the behavior of dilute polymer solutions by means of light-scattering under shear flow. Solution properties of polystyrene in benzene over a wide range of molecular weight has been studied to determine the coefficientsa andK of the Mark-Houwink relationship and to estimate the rheological conditions with regard to light-scattering experiments of flowing polymer solutions. The investigations were carried out to measure the shear-rate dependence of macromolecules in solution, e.g., to observe an orientation and changing of the mean-square radius of gyration.

    Notes: Synopsis Approximately 98% of the sequence of the 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) of the coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae was determined by a combination of direct RNA sequencing and sequencing of rRNA genes amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. This sequence was compared with 18S rRNA sequences of similar length from seven other vertebrate species, representing the taxa Petromyzontiformes, Holocephali, Elasmobranchii, Actinopterygii, Dipnoi, Amphibia, and Amniota, in order to determine the most likely sister group of the coelacanth. Maximum parsimony analysis of these sequences resulted in a single most parsimonious tree containing a number of anomalous relationships among these groups. A bootstrap analysis showed that none of the relationships in this tree was significantly supported at the 95% level, however. Addition of data from 15 other vertebrates (providing multiple representatives of most of the higher taxa) resulted in similar ambiguous groupings, as did a number of methods of editing the sites compared (designed to eliminate rapidly evolving positions). These results may be due to a relatively rapid radiation of the major lineages of osteichthyans, the resolution of which will require molecular information from a larger portion of the coelacanth genome.

    Notes: Abstract Rheological measurements and light-scattering experiments were performed on dilute solutions of high molecular polystyrene. We are able to describe the orientation behavior of chain molecules under shear flow by means of light-scattering. Beyond that these investigations of light-scattering of flowing polymer solutions are an useful and suitable tool for detection and characterization of Taylor vortex formation. We can estimate the appearance of these hydrodynamic instabilities, which overlay the laminar main flow and we can observe a typical influence of the solvent power on it.

    Notes: Synopsis We examined the short-term effects of the natural catastrophic collapse of a beaver dam on downstream benthic insect density and fish community structure in a headwater tributary of the Mississippi River. The catastrophic collapse of the dam and ensuing flash flood resulted in a dramatic (〈 90%) decrease in benthic insect density in riffle and pool habitats. Sixty days after collapse of the dam, insect densities in riffles were 62% of pre-collapse densities. Insect recolonization of pools was slower than for riffles; 60 days after collapse of the dam insect densities in pools were 8% of pre-collapse levels. Collapse of the beaver dam altered the structure of the downstream fish community by causing a short-term (2–4 days) influx of pond species, resulting in a brief increase in species richness and abundance. Fish species richness and abundance then decreased for 4–60 days to levels below those prior to the collapse.
