    Notes: Abstract A test for root penetration through a wax disc of known hardness was developed and used with twenty-five cultivars and twenty-one breeding lines of perennial, Italian, hybrid and annual ryegrasses. After 42 days, the number of roots reaching the wax disc and the number penetrating the disc were counted. Root diameters were measured using image analysis. The proportion of root penetrations ranged from 0·06 to 0·39 across the cultivars and breeding lines, with substantial variation between replicates and cultivars. Diploid perennial cultivars had the thinnest roots, and there were no consistent differences in root diameter between perennial breeding lines, hybrid ryegrasses and Italian ryegrasses. Roots that penetrated the wax disc increased in diameter, by 0·60 on average, a few millimetres above the wax, and through the wax disc. Diameters below the wax disc were the same as those above the zone of impeded root growth. The increase was caused by an increase in size of the parenchyma cells of the root cortex. An experiment with partially and completely impeded root growth showed that impedance did not change root diameter of new roots, or the distribution of root mass between impeded and unimpeded halves of a root system for plants up to 10 weeks old.

    Notes: : Nine surface water-quality variables were analyzed for trend at 180 Virginia locations over the 1978 to 1995 period. Median values and seasonal Kendall's tau, a trend indicator statistic, were generated for dissolved oxygen saturation (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), pH (PH), total residue (TR), nonfilterable residue (NFR), nitrate-nitrite nitrogen (NN), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), total phosphorus (TP), and fecal coliform (FC) at each location. Each location was assigned to one of four physiographic regions, and mean state and regional medians and taus were calculated. Widespread BOD and NFR improvements were detected and FC improvements occurred in the state's western regions. TR and TKN exhibited predominantly increasing trends at locations throughout the state. BOD, TKN, NFR, and TR medians were higher at coastal locations than in other regions. NN, TKN, and TR exhibited predominantly increasing trends in regions with high median concentrations, while declining trends predominated in regions with relatively high BOD, FC, and NFR medians. Appalachian locations exhibited the greatest regional water-quality improvements for BOD, FC, NFR, and TKN. Factors responsible for regional differences appear to include geology, land use, and landscape features; these factors vary regionally.

    SYMPATRIC SPECIATION IN PHYTOPHAGOUS INSECTS: Moving Beyond Controversy? (2002)

    Notes: Abstract Sympatric speciation is the splitting of one evolutionary lineage into two without the occurrence of geographic isolation. The concept has been intimately tied to entomology since the 1860s, when Benjamin Walsh proposed that many host-specific phytophagous insects originate by shifting and adapting to new host plant species. If true, sympatric speciation would have tremendous implications for our understanding of species and their origins, biodiversity (25-40% of all animals are thought to be phytophagous specialists), insect-plant coevolution, community ecology, phylogenetics, and systematics, as well as practical significance for the management of insect pests. During much of the twentieth century sympatric speciation was viewed as much less plausible than geographic (allopatric) speciation. However, empirical field studies, laboratory experiments, developments in population genetics theory, and phylogenetic and biogeographic data have all recently combined to shed a more favorable light on the process. We review the evidence for sympatric speciation via host shifting for phytophagous insects and propose a set of testable predictions for distinguishing geographic mode (allopatric versus sympatric) of divergence. Our conclusion is that sympatric speciation is a viable hypothesis. We highlight areas where more thorough testing is needed to move sympatric speciation into the realm of accepted scientific theory.

    Holocene storage of siliciclastic sediment around islands on the middle shelf of the Great Barrier Reef Platform, north-east Australia (2002)

    Notes: Thick sequences of sediment surround the Whitsunday Islands on the middle shelf of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Platform. Much of this sediment is siliciclastic material deposited since the sea-level highstand at around 6·5 ka. This raises a mass balance dilemma because modern terrigenous discharge to the GBR Platform is restricted to the inner shelf. Shallow seismic profiles and sediment samples were collected over 450 km2 around the Whitsunday Islands to quantify the mass of siliciclastic sediment for a dynamic model of the shelf. The sea floor and pre-Holocene surfaces were mapped using 4584 stations along the seismic profiles and a graphical computer program. The total volume of sediment between these two surfaces is 3·67 ± 0·45 × 109 m3. This volume is composed of buried reefs (0·13 ± 0·01 × 109 m3), medium- (0·70 ± 0·30 × 109 m3) and fine-grained shoals (2·84 ± 0·35 × 109 m3). The volume estimates combined with measurements of carbonate concentration, density and porosity indicate that 1850 ± 380 Mt of Holocene siliciclastic sediment surround the Whitsunday Islands in medium- (510 ± 225 Mt) and fine-grained shoals (1340 ± 155 Mt). The total mass of siliciclastic material is 1·7–2·6 times that stored in Cleveland Bay, a similar sized repository on the inner shelf. A simple numerical model has been constructed to explain this large quantity of Holocene siliciclastic sediment. The model results in the appropriate siliciclastic mass next to the Whitsunday Islands by integrating regional shelf processes over time. Unlike the present day, rivers discharged sediment to the middle shelf during the early Holocene. This material was subsequently focused by northward transport into the vicinity of the islands, a geomorphologically complex region that serves as a sediment trap. Although direct riverine inputs to the middle shelf have stopped during the present sea-level highstand, previously deposited siliciclastic sediment is continually being winnowed from the middle shelf and redeposited next to the Whitsunday Islands. The transport and distribution of siliciclastic sediment on the GBR Platform is thus influenced significantly by storage around islands on the middle shelf.

    Disaggregation rates of extruded salmon feed pellets: influence of physical and biological variables (2002)

    Notes: The culture of salmonids in the marine environment has led to concern regarding eutrophication of the water column and sediment from uneaten feed. This study used measurement of mass loss and change in carbon and nitrogen content of feed to quantify material lost from waste feed as a function of physical and biological variables. A laboratory flume was used to measure changes in cooked–extruded salmon feed pellets as a function of pellet size (6.5 and 12.0 mm in diameter), residence time in seawater (0, 24, 48, 72 and 120 h), and flow speed (0, 9.3 and 22.2 cm s−1). The influence of sediment on pellet degradation was also determined. Loss of pellet mass increased with water flow velocity. Smaller pellets eroded faster than larger pellets, losing 32% (6.5 mm) and 21% (12.0 mm) of their mass after 120 h in seawater. The presence of sediment during preconditioning increased the percentage mass loss of the small pellets only. The presence of sediment also resulted in a greater percentage loss of carbon, but not nitrogen, relative to non-sediment samples. These results allow quantitative assessment of the dynamics of feed pellets in the marine environment with respect to prediction of impact from salmon culture.

    Are the PE-PGRS proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis variable surface antigens? (2002)

    Notes: Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv contains 67 PE-PGRS genes, with multiple tandem repetitive sequences, encoding closely related proteins that are exceptionally rich in glycine and alanine. As no functional information was available, 10 of these genes were selected and shown to be expressed in vitro by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR). Antibodies against five PE-PGRS proteins, raised in mice by DNA vaccination, detected single proteins when the same plasmid constructs used for immunization were expressed in epithelial cells or in reticulocyte extracts, confirming that the PE-PGRS proteins are antigenic. As expected from the conserved repetitive structure, the antibodies cross-reacted with more than one PE-PGRS protein, suggesting that different proteins share common epitopes. PE-PGRS proteins were detected by West-ern blotting in five different mycobacterial species (M. tuberculosis, M. bovis BCG, M. smegmatis, M. marinum and M. gordonae) and 11 clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis. Whole-genome comparisons of M. tuberculosis predicted allelic diversity in the PE-PGRS family, and this was confirmed by immunoblot studies as size variants were detected in clinical strains. Subcellular fractionation studies and immunoelectron microscopy localized many PE-PGRS proteins in the cell wall and cell membrane of M. tuberculosis. The data suggest that some PE-PGRS proteins are variable surface antigens.

    HF2: a double-stranded DNA tailed haloarchaeal virus with a mosaic genome (2002)

    Notes: HF2 is a haloarchaeal virus infecting two Halorubrum species (Family Halobacteriaceae). It is lytic, has a head-and-tail morphology and belongs to the Myoviridae (contractile tails). The linear double-stranded DNA genome was sequenced and found to be 77 670 bp in length, with a mol% G+C of 55.8. A total of 121 likely open reading frames (ORFs) were identified, of which 37 overlapped at start and stop codons. The predicted proteins were usually acidic (average pI of 4.8), and less than about 12% of them had homologues in the sequence databases. Four complete tRNA-like sequences (tRNA-Arg, -Asx, -Pro and -Tyr) and an incomplete tRNA-Thr were detected. A transcription map showed that most of the genome was transcribed and that the synthesis of transcripts occurred in a highly organized and reproducible pattern over a 5 h infection cycle. Transcripts often spanned multiple ORFs, suggesting that viral genes were organized into operons. The predicted ORF and observed transcript directions matched well and showed that transcription is mainly directed inwards from the genome termini, meeting at about 45–48 kb, and this was also a turning point in a cumulative GC-skew plot. The low point in cumulative GC-skew, near the left end, was a region rich in short repeats and lacking ORFs, which is likely to be an origin of replication. The HF2 genome is a mosaic of components from widely different sources, demonstrating clearly that viruses of haloarchaea, like their bacteriophage counterparts, are vectors for the exchange and transmission of genetic material between wide taxonomic distances, even across domains.

    Behaviour of topological marker proteins targeted to the Tat protein transport pathway (2002)

    Notes: The Escherichia coli Tat system mediates Sec-independent export of protein precursors bearing twin arginine signal peptides. Formate dehydrogenase-N is a three-subunit membrane-bound enzyme, in which localization of the FdnG subunit to the membrane is Tat dependent. FdnG was found in the periplasmic fraction of a mutant lacking the membrane anchor subunit FdnI, confirming that FdnG is located at the periplasmic face of the cytoplasmic membrane. However, the phenotypes of gene fusions between fdnG and the subcellular reporter genes phoA (encoding alkaline phosphatase) or lacZ (encoding β-galactosidase) were the opposite of those expected for analogous fusions targeted to the Sec translocase. PhoA fusion experiments have previously been used to argue that the peripheral membrane DmsAB subunits of the Tat-dependent enzyme dimethyl sulphoxide reductase are located at the cytoplasmic face of the inner membrane. Biochemical data are presented that instead show DmsAB to be at the periplasmic side of the membrane. The behaviour of reporter proteins targeted to the Tat system was analysed in more detail. These data suggest that the Tat and Sec pathways differ in their ability to transport heterologous passenger proteins. They also suggest that caution should be observed when using subcellular reporter fusions to determine the topological organization of Tat-dependent membrane protein complexes.
