    Notes: Ultraviolet-B radiation effects on intra- and interspecific competition in broccoli (Brassica oleracea) and Chenopodium album were studied using bivariate factorial experiments. A randomized block design was used in which three monoculture densities for each species [144 (low), 256 (medium), and 400 (high) plants m−2] and all binary combinations were grown in a glasshouse at two (4 and 7 kJ m−2 day−1) UV-BBE radiation levels for 4 weeks in 1999 and 5 weeks in 2000. Inverse yield–density relationships were more discernible at 4, compared with 7 kJ m−2 day−1 UV-BBE radiation. Substitution rates, indicating the balance of intra- to interspecific competitive effects, declined for broccoli at 7, compared with 4 kJ m−2 day−1 UV-BBE radiation, largely because of reduced interspecific competitive influences. Conversely, substitution rates increased for C. album grown at 7 kJ m−2 day−1 UV-BBE radiation, as a result of both decreased intraspecific and increased interspecific competition. Interspecific competitive effects were influenced more than intraspecific competitive effects by UV-B radiation. Based on relative magnitude of substitution rates, C. album was a stronger competitor than broccoli at 4 kJ m−2 day−1 UV-BBE radiation in both years, and at 7 kJ m−2 day−1 UV-BBE radiation in 1999. In 2000, broccoli was the stronger competitor at 7 kJ m−2 day−1 UV-BBE radiation. Overall, the relative competitiveness of broccoli was enhanced, while that of C. album diminished at 7, compared with 4 kJ m−2 day−1 UV-BBE radiation. These findings indicate that above-ambient UV-B radiation has the potential to alter crop–weed competitive interactions, which could change acceptable weed threshold levels.

    Development of seed coat-imposed dormancy during seed maturation in Cynoglossum officinale (1996)

    Notes: The relationship between seed phenolics and appearance of seed coat–imposed dormancy during seed development in Cynoglossum officinale L. was studied. Up to 24 days after anthesis, seeds failed to germinate upon imbibition in Petri dishes at 25°C. At 44 days after anthesis, seeds were fully germinable; removal of seed coats did not improve their germination or O2 uptake. At 72 days after anthesis, mature seeds at the base of the cyme did not germinate unless their coats were removed. Removal of seed coat also stimulated O2 uptake at this harvest date. The methanol-soluble phenolic content of the seeds increased during the early stages of seed development, in both the seed coat and the embryo. As seed development continued, the methanol-soluble phenolic content of the embryo stabilized, but that of the seed coat declined. This decline was associated with an increase in the thioglycolic acid–soluble phenolics, presumably lignins, in the seed coat. These results suggest that polymerization of methanol–soluble phenolics into lignins in the seed coat during later stages of seed development renders the seed coat of C. officinale impermeable to 03, and thus keeps the seed dormant.

    Notes: Abstract Mutation screening in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) families has long been hampered by the complexity of the NF1 gene. By using a novel multi-track screening strategy, 67 NF1 families (54 two-generation, 13 three-generation) with a de novo mutation in the germline of the first generation were studied with two extragenic and 11 intragenic markers. The pathological lesion was identified in 31 cases. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the affected individual revealed a gross gene deletion in 15 of the two-generation families; in 12 (80%) of them, the deletion was maternally derived. Eleven patients with a gross deletion exhibited developmental delay, ten had dysmorphic features and six manifested a learning disability. No gross deletion was apparent in any of the 13 three-generation families, suggesting that such lesions are subject to more intense selection. In these families, the new mutation was of paternal origin in 11 kindreds and the underlying mutational event could be characterised in three of them.

    Notes: Abstract. The neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene located at 17q 11.2 contains 60 exons and spans 350 kb of genomic DNA. Mutation analysis has been hampered by the large size of the gene, the high rate of new mutations, a lack of mutational clustering and the presence of numerous homologous loci. Mutation detection methods based on the direct analysis of a gene's RNA transcript permit the rapid screening of large multi-exonic genes. However, the detection of frame-shift or nonsense mutations can be limited by instability of the mutant mRNA species due to nonsense-mediated decay. In order to determine the frequency of this allelic exclusion, total lymphocyte RNA was analysed from 15 NF1 patients with known truncating mutations and a panel of 40 NF1 patients with unknown mutations. The level of expression of the mutant message was greatly reduced in 2 of the 15 samples (13%), and 3 of the 18 informative samples from the panel of 40. A coupled reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and protein truncation test method was subsequently applied to screen RNA from the panel of 40 unrelated NF1 patients. Aberrant polypeptide bands were identified and characterised in 21 samples (53%). The mutations identified were 479del107;ins31, 495delTGTT, 1127delTGAT, R416X, R440X, 1446del 62, 1541delAG, 2252del 74, 2537insTG, 3456delACTC, R1276X, R1362X, 5749ins171, 6084del280, 6487insA, R2214X, 6791insA, 6858del141, 7458delC, 7676 2A-G and 8081delC. These mutations were uniformly distributed across the gene and 14 represent novel changes that contribute to the germline mutational spectrum of the NF1 gene.

    Characterization and significance of nine novel mutations in exon 16 of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene (1997)

    Notes: Abstract Nine novel mutations have been characterized as the result of screening exon 16 of the human NF1 gene in 465 unrelated neurofibromatosis type 1 patients. These lesions include three nonsense and two missense mutations, two deletions, one duplication, and one mutation in the 5′ splice site of intron 16. Although exon 16 is the largest NF1 exon, no mutations have so far been reported in this region. This apparent paucity of lesions may be due either to a reduced functional importance of exon 16 or a screening bias or both. However, consideration of the mutability of exon 16 in comparison with other exons suggests that, at least for single base pair substitutions, no such factors need be invoked. Any previous lack of exon 16 mutations in this category would be explicable in terms of a lower propensity to mutate for codons in this gene region.

    Notes: Summary The localisation of the gene for Hunter syndrome (MPS II) has been studied in 11 families using 12 polymorphic DNA markers, one on the short arm and the remaining 11 located at various points on the long arm of the X chromosome. Lod scores for seven probes were uniformly negative for all values of θ; positive scores at values of θ=0.10 or more were obtained for the five probes located most distally on the long arm (52A, F9C, DX13, St14-1, F8C). Current data suggest the most likely order of the loci to be: 52A, F9C, Hunter, DX13, St14-1, F8C-qter; the Hunter locus may thus be close to that for the fragile site at Xq27.

    Notes: Abstract We report here the second case of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 1A (CMT1A) with a cytogenetically visible de novo direct duplication of 17p11.1→17p12. A male child who was initially referred for developmental delay and dysmorphism was subsequently shown to have significantly reduced motor nerve conduction velocities characteristic of CMT1A. This patient was not informative for the DNA markers mapping to the CMT1A region; however, with DNA markers pA10–41 and EW503 that map proximally and distally with respect to the disease locus, a dosage difference was observed between the two alleles. Comparison with parental genotypes indicated a de novo maternal duplication. Pulsed field gel analysis using probe VAW409R3a indicated that a 500-kb SacII junction fragment usually associated with CMT1A was absent in this patient. These findings confirm that the disease phenotype is probably caused by a gene dosage effect.

    Notes: Abstract Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common autosomal dominant disorders. It is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene which comprises 60 exons and is located on chromosome 17q. The NF1 gene product, neurofibromin, displays partial homology to GTPase-activating protein (GAP). The GAP-related domain (GRD), encoded by exons 20–27a, is the only region of neurofibromin to which a biological function has been ascribed. A total of 320 unrelated NF1 patients were screened for mutations in the GRD-encoding region of the NF1 gene. Sixteen different lesions in the NF1 GRD region were identified in a total of 20 patients. Of these lesions, 14 are novel and together comprise three missense, two nonsense and three splice site mutations plus six deletions of between 1 and 4 bp. The effect of one of the missense mutations (R1391S) was studied by in vitro expression of a site-directed mutant and GAP activity assay. The mutant protein, R1391S, was found to be some 300-fold less active than wild-type NF1 GRD. The mutations reported in this study therefore provide further material for the functional analysis of neurofibromin as well as an insight into the mutational spectrum of the NF1 GRD.
