    Notes: Seven-day-old seedlings of three different sugar-beet varieties (Carla, Rizor and Desirée) were inoculated mechanically with the Ahlum isolate of beet soil-borne virus (BSBV) in crude sap from infected leaves of Chenopodium quinoa. Control plants were mock-inoculated with sap from healthy C. quinoa. After potting up, the plants were arranged in a randomized block design on nine neighbouring benches in a glasshouse. Plants were sampled after 11 weeks, the fresh weight of the tap roots determined and the presence of virus checked by ELISA. Considerable variation in tap-root growth was observed between benches. Overall, BSBV inoculation reduced tap-root weight of Rizor and Carla by c. 20%. Problems arising in attempts to assess yield loss due to BSBV in naturally infected sugar beet are discussed.

    Notes: Phase- and antigenic variation of pilin expression in Neisseria gonorrhoeae is based on the genetic exchange between silent pilin genes (pilS)and the pilin expression locus (pilE). Similarly, the non-piliated L-variants of strain MS11, which show an increased resistance to certain antibiotics, are the result of recombination with the pilElocus. However, this recombination is atypical in that pilE(L) carries a tandem arrangement of a complete pilin gene and additional partial pilin genes under the control of the same pilE promoter. Since the two pilin gene copies are tandemly arranged and are often in the same translational frame, oversized pilin molecules are produced, which do not assemble into pili. The tandem gene copies introduced in a piiE(L)locus originate from silent loci where they are already joint. Upon reversion to the P+ phenotype the L-variants lose one pilin gene copy from the pilE(L) in a process reminiscent of the deletion events that otherwise lead to the formation of the non-revertible and non-piliated Pn mutants of MS11 gonococci. Thus deletion of pilin genes from pHE can be regarded as a third mechanism of pilin variation in gonococci.
