    Notes: Summary The organization of the nuclear ribosomal DNA from a parental line of wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. ‘César’) and its anther-derived first cycle and second cycle doubled haploid lines has been analyzed by DNA-DNA molecular hybridization. Restricted DNA has been probed by three subclones of wheat nuclear ribosomal DNA covering the entire repeat unit. No significant difference was detected in the extent of methylation of ribosomal DNA of the doubled haploid lines with respect to the parental line. On the other hand, a variation has been found in the organization of the nontranscribed spacer region of ribosomal DNA of the first cycle doubled haploid line. This variation remains stable after a second cycle of in vitro androgenesis. However, one out of five second cycle doubled haploid lines so far tested showed an additional hybridization band present in the parental line but lacking in the first cycle doubled haploid line.

    Notes: Summary Restriction fragment length polymorphism of the wheat nuclear ribosomal DNA has been studied in several steps of a breeding scheme, including parental genotypes, F1 hybrid, F9 generation, and anther-derived doubled haploid lines obtained from F9. Ribosomal DNA represents a suitable molecular marker in following segregation and possible divergency from expected homozygosity after haploidization of an androgenetic process. It has been shown to undergo variations among the first cycle-doubled haploid lines in the relative amount of two different sizes of ribosomal DNA repeat units. The specificity and peculiar properties of the plant system used allowed us to assign an intrachromosomal location (short arm of the chromosomes 1B, 1R or 6B) to several ribosomal DNA repeat units that differ by the length of their nontranscribed spacer region.

    Notes: Abstract The envelope of the human retrovirus HTLV-I (humanT-cell leukemia virus type I), like those of otherretroviruses, plays an important role in viralinfection. One of the major immunodominant domains ofHTLV-I surface glycoprotein (gp46), inducing antibodyreactions in over 90% of infected individuals, isbounded by amino acids 175 and 199. As compared toHTLV-I prototype strain MT-2, few amino acidsubstitutions have been described in this region; themost frequently observed is the replacement of aproline by a serine at position 192. In order toinvestigate the antigenic impact of this variation, weanalysed the reactivity of synthetic peptides,harbouring either a proline or a serine residue,towards antibody containing HTLV-I positive sera inenzyme linked immunosorbent assays. The possibleinfluence of this amino acid substitution on theconformational behaviour has been examined by studyingthe solution structure of two model peptides(corresponding to the 175–199 region) usingtwo-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy. The resultsof this work should allow us to find out whether thisamino acid substitution has to be taken into accountfor the design of a future peptide-based vaccineagainst HTLV-I infection.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les images ultrastructurales et cytochimiques de l'activité sécrétrice et lysosomiale des neurones neurosécréteurs supraoptico-posthypophysaires du rat ont été observées dans des circonstances où le nombre des grains de neurosécrétat et des lysosomes varient fortement. Au début de la réhydratation, après privation d'eau de 4 J, se développe dans les axones du lobe postérieur de l'hypophyse, plus ou moins vides de leurs grains, une autophagie intense. Elle intéresse surtout le réticulum lisse, abondant à ce stade, des microvésicules et des grains, bien que ces derniers soient encore peu nombreux. Si, à la reprise de la boisson, le transport axonal est inhibé par la colchicine, les grains s'accumulent dans les périkaryons, et le lobe postérieur ne se recharge pas. Toutefois l'autophagie, toujours intense dans les axones, reste très faible dans les périkaryons où la crinophagie n'est pas évidente. L'hypophysectomie induit également une charge granulaire des périkaryons, sans granulolyse importante; la mise en évidence des phosphatases acides fournit quelques images de crinophagie possible. Ce mécanisme est localisé exclusivement dans les périkaryons et l'autophagie essentiellement dans les axones. L'autophagie paraît constituer le mode de granulolyse prédominant et doit être considérée ici comme un des aspects du turnover des constituants cellulaires, signifiant un arrêt brusque d'une hypertrophie par hyperfonctionnement, plutôt que comme la régulation spécifique d'un excès de sécrétion.
    Notes: Summary Ultrastructural and cytochemical observations on neurosecretory neurons of the rat supraoptico-posthypophyseal systems were made under experimental conditions which resulted in striking changes in the amount of neurosecretory granules and lysosomes. Attention was focused on granulolysis. At the onset of rehydration following a 4 days water deprivation, very active autophagy took place in neurosecretory axons of the neural lobe involving the marked increase in smooth endoplasmic reticulum, microvesicles and neurosecretory granules, although the latter were still very few due to previous depletion. When axonal transport was inhibited by colchicine at the onset of rehydration, granules accumulated in the perikarya while granule reloading of the neural lobe was delayed. However autophagy, although always active in axons, remained scarce in perikarya. Moreover, in the latter there was only slight evidence of crinophagy. Hypophysectomy also induced granule accumulation in the perikarya, although accompanied by little granulolysis. Images indicative of crinophagy as shown by acid phosphatase localization were few and exclusively restricted to perikarya, while autophagy occurred essentially in axons. Autophagy appeared to be the predominant process for granulolysis and might be considered here as an aspect of the general turnover of cell constituents, related to the sudden regression of hyperactivity-induced hyperthrophy, rather than as an expression of a specific regulation of an excess of secretory material.

    Notes: Summary Cytochemical methods using silver proteinate, silver methenamine and potassium ferrocyanide + OsO4 for ultrastructural detection of glycoproteins allow, in the posthypophysis and the magnocellular nuclei of the rat, differentiation of two types of fibres and neurons: one type containing negative granules with a homogeneous content of low electron density, the second type containing granules which demonstrate a ring-shaped deposit either of silver or of potassium ferrocyanide-osmium complex, likely to be related to a glycoproteic component. The difference between these two types is increased by prestaining “en bloc” with uranyl acetate before the silver proteinate reaction. A similar investigation was carried out on the vasopressin deficient Brattleboro rat; the neurosecretory material, present in some endings and neurones only, is of the nonreactive type, so that it appears justified to correlate the reactivity of granules with vasopressin, and consequently to distinguish neurones and fibres containing vasopressin from those in which oxytocin is quantitatively the main hormonal peptide. This conclusion is strongly supported by the fact that percentages of reactive and negative endings, as determined on this basis in the posthypophysis of normal rats from two different strains, are in good agreement with biochemical data reported in the literature.
