    Notes: Abstract Young leaf tissue of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) was placed on Schenk and Hildebrandt medium containing 30 µM dicamba. Microprojectiles coated with DNA containing the selectable bar gene (Basta® tolerance) and the reporter gene uidA coding for β-glucuronidase (GUS), both driven by the maize ubiquitin promoter (Ubi1), were propelled into the tissue with a particle inflow gun. Transient GUS expression was observed as blue spots of various sizes on leaf segments. Somatic embryos staining entirely blue were also produced, and embryos germinated on medium containing 3.0 mg 1–1 bialaphos. Leaves of 67 putative transformed plants were painted with 0.1% Basta. Ten showed no reaction, and 6 showed only a localized response. Cultured leaf segments from tolerant plants also produced somatic embryos that expressed GUS. The genetic transformation was confirmed by Southern blot hybridization and PCR analyses of T0 plants and by PCR analyses of somatic embryos produced from T0 plants.

    Notes: Abstract A biolistic particle delivery system was used to genetically transform embryogenic tissue of Pinus radiata. The introduced DNA contained a uidA reporter gene under the control of either the tandem CaMV 35S or the artificial Emu promoter, and the npt II selectable marker controlled by the CaMV 35S promoter. The average number of stable, geneticin-resistant lines recovered was 0.5 per 200 mg fresh weight bombarded tissue. Expression of the uidA reporter gene was detected histochemically and fluorimetrically in transformed embryogenic tissue and in derived mature somatic embryos and regenerated plants. The integration of uidA and npt II genes into the Pinus radiata genome was demonstrated using PCR amplification of the inserts and Southern hybridisation analysis. The expression of both genes in transformed tissue was confirmed by Northern hybridisation analysis. More than 150 transgenic Pinus radiata plants were produced from 20 independent transformation experiments with four different embryogenic clones.

    Notes: Abstract Lysine is one of the nutritionally limiting amino acids in food and feed products made from maize (Zea mays L.). Two enzymes in the lysine biosynthesis pathway, aspartate kinase (AK) and dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHPS), have primary roles in regulating the level of lysine accumulation in plant cells because both enzymes are feedback-inhibited by lysine. An isolated cDNA clone for maize DHPS was modified to encode a DHPS much less sensitive to lysine inhibition. The altered DHPS cDNA was transformed into maize cell suspension cultures to determine the effect on DHPS activity and lysine accumulation. Partially purified DHPS (wildtype plus mutant) from transformed cultures was less sensitive to lysine inhibition than wild-type DHPS from nontransformed cultures. Transformed cultures had cellular free lysine levels as much as four times higher than those of nontransformed controls. Thus, we have shown that reducing the feedback inhibition of DHPS by lysine can lead to increased lysine accumulation in maize cells. Increasing the capacity for lysine synthesis may be an important step in improving the nutritional quality of food and feed products made from maize.

    Introduction and constitutive expression of a rice chitinase gene in bread wheat using biolistic bombardment and the bar gene as a selectable marker (1998)

    Notes: Abstract  Our long-term goal is to control wheat diseases through the enhancement of host plant resistance. The constitutive expression of plant defense genes to control fungal diseases can be engineered by genetic transformation. Our experimental strategy was to biolistically transform wheat with a vector DNA containing a rice chitinase gene under the control of the CaMV 35 S promoter and the bar gene under control of the ubiquitin promoter as a selectable marker. Immature embryos of wheat cv ‘Bobwhite’ were bombarded with plasmid pAHG11 containing the rice chitinase gene chi11 and the bar gene. The embryos were subcultured on MS2 medium containing the herbicide bialaphos. Calli were then transferred to a regeneration medium, also containing bialaphos. Seventeen herbicide-resistant putative transformants (T0) were selected after spraying with 0.2% Liberty, of which 16 showed bar gene expression as determined by the phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) assay. Of the 17 plants, 12 showed the expected 35-kDa rice chitinase as revealed by Western blot analysis. The majority of transgenic plants were morphologically normal and self-fertile. The integration, inheritance and expression of the chi11 and bar genes were confirmed by Southern hybridization, PAT and Western blot analysis of T0 and T1 transgenic plants. Mendelian segregation of herbicide resistance was observed in some T1 progenies. Interestingly, a majority of the T1 progeny had very little or no chitinase expression even though the chitinase transgene was intact. Because PAT gene expression under control of the ubiquitin promoter was unaffected, we conclude that the CaMV 35 S promoter is selectively inactivated in T1 transgenic wheat plants.

    Notes: Abstract. An antibody raised against a peptide based on the C-terminal derived amino acid sequence from a cloned Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) gene, Rdl (resistant to dieldrin), was used to investigate localization of a GABA receptor subunit in adult male D. melanogaster. Many regions in the brain and thoracic ganglia were stained with this antibody. For example, staining was detected in the medulla, lobula and lobular plate optic neurpiles. Also stained were the antennal lobe glomeruli, the ellipsoid body of the central complex and the mushroom bodies. These results suggest possible roles for an RDL-like GABA receptor subunit in the processing of olfactory, visual and mechanosensory information in the nervous system of D. melanogaster.

    Distribution of tachykinin-related neuropeptide in the developing central nervous system of the moth Spodoptera litura (1998)

    Notes: Abstract  Neuropeptides with similarities to vertebrate tachykinins, designated tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs), have been identified in several insect species. In this investigation we have utilized an antiserum raised to one of the locust TRPs, locustatachykinin-I (LomTK-I), to determine the distribution pattern of LomTK-like immunoreactive (LTKLI) neurons in the developing nervous system of the moth Spodoptera litura. A number of LTKLI neurons could be followed from the larval to the adult nervous system: a set of median neurosecretory cells (MNCs) in the brain, a pair of brain descending neurons and a few sets on neurons in the ventral nerve cord. The distribution of LTKLI neurons in the adult brain is very similar to that seen in other insect species with prominent arborizations in the central body, antennal lobes, mushroom body calyces, optic lobe neuropils and other distinct neuropil areas in the protocerebrum and tritocerebrum. A new finding is the presence of LTKLI neurosecretory cells with axon terminals in the anterior aorta and corpora cardiaca, suggesting for the first time a neurohormonal role of tachykinin-related peptide(s) in insects. During postembryonic development the number of LTKLI neurons in the ventral nerve cord decreases somewhat, whereas the number increases in the brain. Thus the functional roles of TRPs may change to some extent during development.

    Notes: Abstract Laminin, a large glycoprotein of the basement membrane that promotes the growth of nerve cell processes in vitro has also been detected in the brains of developing embryos in situ where it is postulated to promote or guide neural outgrowth. We have investigated the histological and developmental patterns of a receptor to a specific pentapeptide sequence in the A chain of the laminin molecule (PA22-2 or IKVAV) that has been identified as a neuron growth-promoting sequence. Standard immunocytochemical procedures were used to localize the receptor by means of a polyclonal antibody to affinity-purified receptor (MR=110 kDa) from mouse brains. Results for postnatal stages (P) stages (P 1,7,8,25,30,and adult) show that the 110 kDa receptor is localized in fibers in the cortex and hippocampus, in astroglial cells at the surface of the cortex, and in neuronal cell bodies in the hippocampus. In contrast, the A-chain ligand is localized in cell bodies in the same regions at P stages. For embryonic stages (E) (E 14 and E 16) the receptor is localized in bundles of fibers in the superficial and deep cortical layers, and in cell bodies in these regions at E 14 only. Staining for the A chain ligand of the receptor was first seen postnatally. We speculate that the inverse histological pattern of receptor and ligand with respect to cell bodies and fibers may reflect a role in controlling axon guidance during development or repair during regeneration.

    Notes: Abstract. In previous studies, we have shown that smooth muscle cells and myofibroblast subpopulations of the perivascular stem villous sheath of the human placenta contain focal adhesion plaques and talin immunoreactivity. The close association of these cells to elastic and collagen fibres have led to the assumption of a functional myofibroelastic unit within the perivascular stem villous sheath. Interactions between the extracellular matrix and smooth muscle cells depend on a variety of structural protein assemblies. In the present study, we examined, by immunocytochemistry, whether the molecular assembly of extracellular matrix proteins and molecules of focal adhesions, known to be essential for signal transduction in smooth muscle cells, are also found in smooth muscle cells of the perivascular stem villous sheath of the human placenta. Vascular and extravascular smooth muscle cells were immunoreactive for α-actinin, vinculin, paxillin and tensin, the integrin chains α1 and β1, and the basement membrane components laminin and heparan/-chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan perlecan. pp125FAK did not react. In the extracellular matrix of blood vessel walls and the perivascular stem villous sheath, we found immunoreactivity of fibronectin and collagen types I, VI and undulin (collagen type XIV). From our data we conclude that within the perivascular stem villous sheath, there exists a system of signal transduction molecules, indicating a cross talk between the smooth muscle cells of this sheath and their surrounding extracellular matrix.

    Notes: Abstract A chimeric gene composed of the coding sequence of theble gene fromStreptoalloteichus hindustanus fused to the 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions of theChlamydomonas reinhardtii nuclear geneRBCS2 has been constructed. Introduction of this chimeric gene into the nuclear genome ofC. reinhardtii by co-transformation with theARG7 marker yields Arg+ transformants of which approximately 80% possess theble gene. Of these co-transformants, approximately 3% display a phleomycin-resistant (PmR) phenotype. Western blot analysis using antibodies against theble gene product confirms the presence of the protein in the PmR transformants and genetic analysis demonstrates the co-segregation of theble gene with the phenotype in progeny arising from the mating of a PmR transformant to wild-type strains. Direct selection of PmR transformants was achieved by allowing an 18-h period for recovery and growth of transformed cells prior to selection. This work represents the first demonstration of stable expression and inheritance of a foreign gene in the nuclear genome ofC. reinhardtii and provides a useful dominant marker for nuclear transformation.
