    Notes: Summary 1. In tomato plants heterozygous for a mutant allele of the sulfurea (sulf) locus paramutation may take place: under the influence of a paramutant sulf allele, the paramutable wild type allele sulf +, which is present in the same nucleus, is heritably altered with a definite frequency to a sulf mutant allele, either of the sulf puraor the sulf vaggroup. 2. A number of the sulf + sulf heterozygotes remain entirely green during their whole ontogenetic development (type I plants, without paramutation). However, others of the plants become variegated: these variegated plants contain-apart from green sectors — only yellow-green speckled sulf vagsectors (type II plants), or only pure yellow sulf purasectors (type III plants) or both sulf vagand sulf purasectors side by side (type IV plants). 3. For all variegated plants (types II, III and IV) we determined the sizes of the green and of the paramutant sulf vagand sulf purasectors and made a statistical analysis of the values obtained. 4. We conducted observations over a period of three years and obtained following findings: type II plants (with sulf vagsectors) have an average size of the paramutant sectors of 27.9% (the whole plant being 100%). Type III plants (with sulf purasectors) have an average sector's size of 25.7%, whereas the size of the paramutant sectors in type IV plants (with both sulf vagand sulf purasectors) amounts to 54.4% (35.7% sulf vagand 18.7% sulf pura). Thus, the occurrence of tissues of both phenotypes in one plant has, on the average, been found to be correlated with a doubling of the proportion of paramutant sectors in that plant. 5. Within sulf + sulf heterozygotes there is, in general, a positive correlation between the frequency of paramutant plants and the proportion of paramutant sectors within the plants. This is mainly due to the fact that there is a significant positive correlation between the frequency of type IV plants and the frequency of paramutant plants, i.e. the more plants within a progeny variegated, the greater the frequency of type IV plants containing both sulf vagand sulf purasectors. 6. These findings (mathematically analysed and compared with the consequences of several models) may result in the following concept: the paramutation processes in sulf + sulf heterozygotes are restricted to a small group of cells (16 cells at the most) during a short period of about three cell generations after seed germination and expansion of the cotyledons. In the course of which, the probability for the occurrence of paramutation decreases rather quickly from one cell generation to the next. These characteristics of paramutation processes mentioned cause the occurrence of rather large and well defined sectors of paramutant tissue.

    Notes: Summary Twenty-nine genotypes of Old World bluestems (Bothriochloa intermedia, B. ischaemum andB. caucasica) were screened for Al tolerance in greenhouse pots of acid Tatum subsoil which was unlimed at pH 4.1 and limed at pH 5.3. Three strains of weeping lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula) and El Reno side-oats grama grass (Bouteloua curtipendula) were also included as indicators of acid and alkaline soil tolerance, respectively. At pH 4.1 only 5 of the 29 bluestems and the 3 weeping lovegrasses produced measurable yields of tops or roots. The remaining 24 bluestems and side-oats grama either died or barely remained alive (due to frequent watering) with no appreciable growth. Weeping lovegrass was significantly more tolerant to the acid soil than any of the bluestems; relative top yields (pH 4.1/pH 5.3) were 101, 94 and 79% for the FQ71, common and FQ22 strains, respectively. Among the 5 bluestems that survived at pH 4.1, relative top yields ranged from 19 to 46%. Bluestems PI 300860 and PI 300857 (bothB. intermedia) appeared more tolerant than PI 300886 (B. intermedia) and PI 312442 (B. caucasica) with PI 300858 (B. intermedia) being intermediate; however, all 5 showed promise for use on acid soils that are high in exchangeable Al. Genotypes that failed to grow at pH 4.1 included members ofB. intermedia, B. ischaemum andB. caucasica. Some of these, such as PI 300825 (B. intermedia) and PI 300765 (B. caucasica), were among the highest yielders at pH 5.3. None of the 10 genotypes ofB. ischaemum survived at pH 4.1.
