    Notes: Abstract The present mechanism of radiant energy production in the atmosphere is considered and it is shown that it is not compatible with accepted principles of physics. An alternative mechanism whereby the temperature of the atmosphere and surface of the Earth is regulated by a chemical reaction in the stratosphere is described. It is shown that this mechanism can account for the changes in climate which occurred during the past ten thousand years. The effect on this mechanism of changes in the composition of atmospheric gases, including changes resulting from human activities, is described and the consequences of the changes recorded.

    Notes: Summary The mutagenic activity of the maize transposable element system Mutator can be lost by outcrossing to standard, non-Mutator lines or by repetitive intercrossing of genetically diverse Mutator lines. Lines losing Mutator mutagenic activity in either manner retain high copy numbers (10–15 per diploid genome) of the Mutator-associated Mu transposable elements. Frequent transposition of Mu1-related elements is observed only in active Mutator lines, however. The loss of Mutator activity on intercrossing is correlated with an increase in the copy number of Mu1-like elements to 40–50 per diploid genome, implying a self-encoded or self-activated negative regulator of Mu1 transposition. The outcross loss of Mutator activity is only weakly correlated with a low Mu element copy number and may be due to the loss of a positive regulatory factor encoded by a subset of Mu1-like elements. Transposition of Mu elements in active Mutator lines generates multiple new genomic positions for about half the elements each plant generation. The appearance of Mu1-like elements in these new positions is not accompanied by equally high germinal reversion frequencies, suggesting that Mu1 may commonly transpose via a DNA replicative process.
