    Notes: Abstract Transfer of resistance toHeterodera avenae, the cereal cyst nematode (CCN), by a “stepping-stone” procedure from the wild grassAegilops ventricosa to hexaploid wheat has been demonstrated. The number of nematodes per plant was lower, and reached a plateau much earlier, in the resistant introgression line H93-8 (1–2 nematodes per plant) than in the recipient H10-15 wheat (14–16 nematodes per plant). Necrosis (hypersensitive reaction) near the nematode, little cell fusion, and few, often degraded syncytia were observed in infested H93-8 roots, while abundant, well-formed syncytia were present in the susceptible H10-15 wheat. Line H93-8 was highly resistant to the two Spanish populations tested, as well as the four French races (Fr1-Fr4), and the British pathotype Hall, but was susceptible to the Swedish pathotypes HgI and HgIII. Resistance was inherited as though determined by a single quasi-dominant factor in the F2 generations resulting from crosses of H93-8 with H10-15 and with Loros, a resistant wheat carrying the geneCre1 (syn.Ccn1). The resistance gene in H93-8 (Cre2 orCcn2) is not allelic with respect to that in Loros. RFLPs and other markers, together with the cytogenetical evidence, indicate that theCre2 gene has been integrated into a wheat chromosome without affecting its meiotic pairing ability. Introduction ofCre2 by backcrossing into a commercial wheat backgroud increases grain yield when under challenge by the nematode and is not detrimental in the absence of infestation.

    Notes: Abstract  A new Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) resistance gene from Aegilops ventricosa and its transfer to hexaploid wheat is described. The 4D(4Mv) substitution line H-93-33 derived from the cross [(Triticum turgidum H-1-1×Aegilops ventricosa no. 11)×Triticum aestivum H-10-15] was highly resistant to the Spanish population tested. Resistance seemed to be inherited as a single dominant factor in the F2 generation resulting from a cross of H-93-33 with its susceptible parent (H-10-15). Resistance in Ae. venticosa no. 10 was located on chromosome 4Mv using Mv wheat/Ae. ventricosa addition lines. The resistance gene transferred from Ae. ventricosa no. 11 to H-93-33 (H27) is allelic with respect to that of Ae. ventricosa no. 10 and is non-allelic with respect to the genes H3 and H6 from Monon and Caldwell respectively. The assignment of H27 gene to chromosome 4Mv is further supported by its linkage to a gene encoding isozyme Acph-Mv1, previously located on chromosome 4Mv in the line H-93-33. A new marker from homoeologous chromosome group 4 (Amp-Mv2) present in H-93-33 and the 4Mv addition line is described.

    Notes: Abstract  The cereal cyst nematode (Heterodera avenae) is an important root parasite of common wheat. A high level of resistance was transferred to wheat from Aegilops triuncialis (TR lines) using the cross [(T. turgidum×Ae. triuncialis)×T. aestivum]. Low fertility (3–5 viable kernels per plant) was observed during the process but the surviving hybrid plants were highly vigorous. To obtain stable resistant lines further crosses to T. aestivum were performed. The resistance in TR lines seems to be transferred from the C genome of Ae. triuncialis (genomes CCUU). Ae. triuncialis was highly resistant to the two Spanish populations of H. avenae tested, as well as to four French races and two Swedish populations. The histological analysis showed a hypersensitive reaction in the roots of a resistant TR line inoculated with the Ha71 pathotype of H. avenae, whereas well-formed syncytia were observed in the roots of the susceptible control. Resistance to the H. avenae Ha71 pathotype seemed to be inherited as determined by a single dominant factor in the crosses between resistant TR lines and susceptible cultivars.

    Notes: This work reports on the photodegradation of low-density polyethylene films formulated with titanium (IV) oxide actylacetonate (TAc) and titanium dioxide pigment in different proportions; no previous reports on the photoactivity of this acetylacotonate have been found. Samples of blow-extruded films were submitted to accelerated UV aging with fluorescent lamps and the polymer degradation measured. The changes in carbonyl groups, molecular weight, and film elongation at break are discussed. The results show that TAc can promote photooxidation and accelerate the film degradation. The retention percent of elongation at break (EB) is apparently proportional to the carbonyl index irrespective of the formulation but has different relations with molecular weight (Mn), time, or the number of chain scissions (n), probably as a result of microstructural differences. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A new proton-conducting polymer electrolyte - poly-(benzylsulfonic acid)siloxane (PBSS) - has been prepared by sol-gel process. Both the hydrolysis and the condensation reactions of triethoxybenzylsilane have been studied under different catalysis conditions. The basic material - polybenzylsiloxane (PBS) - is always soluble, no matter what the experimental conditions, reaching an average molecular weight - Mw - of 20,000 and a polydispersity index close to 5. Good yields of a water-soluble polyelectrolyte - PBSS-thermally stable up to 300°C in air according to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and for which the exchange capacity is close to 4.4, can be obtained by sulfonation of PBS. Conductivities ranging from 2 × 10-3 to 10-2 S/cm at room temperature have been determined by a.c. impedance spectroscopy. These high conductivities, as well as the tensile strength of the PBSS, allow its use in several electrochemical devices.

    Notes: The accelerated UV photodegradation process of low-density polyethylene films, formulated with two photostabilizers and two antioxidants, was studied to evaluate the effect of different combinations of UV stabilizers and antioxidants on the overall photodegradation process. An experimental design, consisting of 33 formulations with different additive ratios and a blank, was used to evaluate the performance of the four mixed additives. From each formulation, 200 micron-thick films were produced by the extrusion-blowing process. Samples from these films were submitted to accelerated UV aging, and the polymer degradation was measured by carbonyl group evolution, molecular weight distribution changes, and maximum elongation loss. The effect of the additive combination on the different degradation reactions is discussed qualitatively by using “relative variables” and a triangular diagram. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The hardening process of natural (Hevea brasiliensis) rubber, that takes place when this rubber is stored in dry conditions over long periods of time, has been correlated with the presence of reactive “abnormal” groups directly grafted on the polymeric chain and in the serum of the latex. In the present work, natural Hevea (HR) and Guayule (Parthenium argentatum) rubber (GR) were stored under accelerated conditions and the changes in Mooney viscosity and molecular weight measured. The results showed that while HR undergoes hardening, GR keeps its Mooney viscosity constant, as does a constant viscosity (CV) Hevea rubber. These results are explained by the absence of functional “abnormal” groups that sustain the hardening reactions.

    Notes: The uptake and activation of FXII from blood plasma was studied in small-diameter polyethylene tubing, surface-modified by end-point immobilization of heparin. Two preparations of heparin were used to modify the contact-activating properties of the plastic tubing: unfractionated, functionally active heparin and low-affinity heparin, lacking the specific antithrombin-binding sequence and virtually devoid of anticoagulant activity. The uptakes of FXII on the two heparin surfaces were similar. No activated FXII could be demonstrated on the unfractionated heparin surface, whereas on the low-affinity heparin surface nearly all FXII underwent spontaneous activation. The suppression of FXII activation on the unfractionated heparin surface was investigated by using plasma depleted of antithrombin, complement C1 esterase inhibitor, or both. The removal of antithrombin resulted in extensive activation of FXII, whereas the depletion of C1 esterase inhibitor had only a minor effect. Experiments with recalcified plasma showed rapid clot formation during exposure to the low-affinity heparin surface. After depletion of antithrombin, but not complement C1 esterase inhibitor, the recalcified plasma clotted in contact with the unfractionated heparin surface as well. We conclude that antithrombin and the antithrombin-binding sequence in the surface-immobilized heparin are essential for the prevention of surface activation of FXII and triggering of the intrinsic coagulation system. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: End-point immobilization of heparin to artificial materials gives rise to a surface that prevents triggering of the plasma contact activation system and, presumably as a result thereof, generally has thrombo-resistant properties. The present investigation was undertaken to determine what density of immobilized heparin molecules expressing functionally intact antithrombin binding sites is required to achieve these blood compatible properties. Six different heparin surfaces were prepared on polyethylene tubing and studied in contact with human plasma. The content of bound heparin was the same on all surfaces while the densities of antithrombin binding sites ranged from 1 to 28 pmol/cm2. The surfaces expressing 4 pmol/cm2 or more of specific anti-thrombin binding sites generated no measurable enzymatic activity in contact with plasma, either on the exposed surfaces or in the plasma phases. Below this level, the degree of activation gradually increased with decreasing densities, and in parallel the thrombo-resistant properties deteriorated. Addition of heparin to the plasma phase reduced the capacity of the heparin surfaces to bind antithrombin, leading to a diminished ability of the surfaces to prevent contact activation. This finding supports the hypothesis that antithrombin is the critical coagulation inhibitor for the suppression of contact activation on end-point immobilized heparin. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
