    Notes: Summary Male sterility has been recently discovered in Californian populations of rose clover (Trifolium hirtum). This study describes the frequency distribution of male sterility in Turkish and Californian populations, and compares fitness components of hermaphrodites and females. As male-steriles were found in Turkey, it is likely that they were introduced to California during the 1940's with the original material derived from Turkey. The spread of male-sterile genotypes in California has given rise to an asymmetrical frequency distribution of male sterility with positive skewness. The frequency of females has not exceeded fifty percent and it appears to be temporally stable in most of the Californian populations. The hypothesis that female frequencies and fitness differences between phenotypes are correlated was tested by comparing sex phenotypes in seven populations with contrasting levels of male sterility. The analysis of those populations showed no evidence for such a correlation as no significant differences were found between sex phenotypes for fecundity and seed germination. The hypothesis that females are maintained due to fitness differences in the progeny of hermaphrodites and females was experimentally tested in the population with maximum frequency of male-steriles. The results showed no significant differences in the demographic performance of the progenies of hermaphrodites and females. The present results are discussed in terms of the possible mechanism of maintenance of gynodioecy in rose clover.

    Notes: Summary A multilocus procedure was used to estimate outcrossing rates in ten roadside populations of Trifolium hirtum in California. Three groups of populations were studied: cultivars, hermaphroditic, and gynodioecious (sexually dimorphic) populations. The multilocus outcrossing rate (tm) varied from 0.05 to 0.43 among populations. Population level tm estimates were significantly correlated with the observed heterozygosity in gynodioecious populations but not in hermaphroditic populations. The outcrossing rate of hermaphrodites and females was estimated in three gynodioecious populations; the estimates of tm varied from 0.09 to 0.23 for hermaphrodites and from 0.73 to 0.80 for females. The distribution of outcrossing rates in gynodioecious populations is bimodal. Our results indicate that for the levels of selfing observed among hermaphrodites, inbreeding depression is likely to be a major factor in the maintenance of females in gynodioecious populations.

    Notes: An X-ray fluorescence method for the measurement of film and coating thickness has been described for use in situations where standard foils of the same material are not available for comparison. The method is based on the measurement of combined mass absorption coefficient of the coating element at the excitation and at the fluorescent energies using thin samples of a compound in which the coating element is present and then calculating the coating thickness using the fluorescence equation. The paper describes the theoretical approach and presents the result of the measurement of certain film and coating thicknesses which support the theoretical considerations.
