    Notes: Abstract To explore the feasibility of employing antibodies to obtain disease resistance against plant root pathogens, we have studied the expression of genes encoding antibodies in roots of transgenic plants. A model monoclonal antibody was used that binds to a fungal cutinase. Heavy and light chain cDNAs were amplified by PCR, fused to a signal sequence for secretion and cloned behind CaMV 35S and TR2′ promoters in a single T-DNA. The chimeric genes were cloned both in tandem and in a divergent orientation. The roots of tobacco plants transformed with these constructs produced antibodies that were able to bind antigen in an ELISA. Immunoblotting showed assembly to a full-size antibody. In addition, a F(ab′)2-like fragment was observed, which is probably formed by proteolytic processing. Both antibody species were properly targeted to the apoplast, but the full-size antibody was partially retained by the wall of suspension cells. The construct with divergent promoters showed a better performance than the construct with promoters in tandem. It directed the accumulation of functional antibodies to a maximum of 1.1% of total soluble protein, with half of the plants having levels higher than 0.35%. The high efficiency of this construct probably results from coordinated and balanced expression of light and heavy chain genes, as evidenced by RNA blot hybridization.

    Notes: Abstract A 47 kDa glycoprotein, termed EP4, was purified from carrot cell suspension culture medium. An antiserum raised against EP4 also recognized a protein of 45 kDa that was ionically bound to the cell wall. EP4 was detected in culture media from both embryogenic and non-embryogenic cell lines and was found to be secreted by a specific subset of non-embryogenic cells. Secretion of the 47 kDa glycoprotein by embryogenic cells was not evident. The 45 kDa cell wall-bound EP4 protein was specific for non-embryogenic cells and was shown by immunolocalization to occur in the walls of clustered cells, with the highest levels in the walls separating adjacent cells. In seedlings, EP4 proteins were mainly found in roots. EP4 cDNA was cloned by screening a cDNA library with an oligonucleotide derived from an EP4 peptide sequence. The EP4 cDNA sequence was found to be 55% homologous to ENOD8, an early nodulin gene from alfalfa.

    Description / Table of Contents: Polymorphic and Pseudosymmetrical Hydrates MSeO3 · H2O (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd)By crystallization from aqueous solutions of MSeO3 and M(HSeO3)2, the selenites MSeO3 · H2O (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd) were obtained and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction and IR-spectroscopy. The crystal structure of ZnSeO3 · H2O was determined. The IR spectra indicate that the hydrates are isotypic and contain H2O molecules of symmetry mm2. However, the X-ray data show different structure types with H2O molecules of site symmetry m or 1. CdSeO3 · H2O and MnSeO3 · H2O are isotypic (o.rh., MnSeO3 · D2O type). CoSeO3 · H2O (mon.) as well as the isotypic NiSeO3 · H2O and ZnSeO3 · H2O (mon.) form new structure types. These findings are discussed on the basis of the crystal structure of ZnSeO3 · H2O (P21/n, a = 477.9(1), b = 1319.4(5), c = 570.1(1) pm, β = 90.84(2)°, Z = 4, Dx = 3.886 g · cm-3, R = 0.035 for 722 reflections with I 〉 2σ1) and the local pseudosymmetry of its components, i.e., layers ∞2[ZnSeO3 · H2O] of ZnO6 octahedra sharing four equatorial vertices, SeO32- anions and H2O molecules.
    Notes: Durch Kristallisation aus MSeO3- und M(HSeO3)2-Lösungen wurden die Selenite MSeO3 · H2O (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd) erhalten und röntgenographisch sowie IR-spektroskopisch charakterisiert. Von ZnSeO3 · H2O wurde die Kristallstruktur bestimmt. Die IR-Spektren deuten auf Isotypie der Hydrate und H2O-Moleküle der Symmetrie mm2. Die Röntgenbeugungsdaten zeigen dagegen das Vorliegen verschiedener Strukturtypen mit H2O-Molekülen der Lagesymmetrie m oder 1. CdSeO3 · H2O und MnSeO3 · H2O sind isotyp (o.rh., MnSeO3 · D2O-Typ). CoSeO3 · H2O (mon.) sowie die isotypen NiSeO3 · H2O und ZnSeO3 · H2O (mon.) kristallisieren in neuen Strukturtypen. Diese Befunde werden auf der Basis der Kristallstruktur von ZnSeO3 · H2O (P21/n, a = 477,9(1), b = 1319,4(5), c = 570,1(1) pm, β = 90,84(2)°, Z = 4, Dx = 3,886 g · cm-3, R = 0,035 für 722 Reflexe mit I 〉 2σ1) und der lokalen Pseudosymmetrie ihrer Bausteine (Schichten ∞2[ZnSeO3 · H2O] aus vierfach eckenverknüpften ZnO6-Oktaedern, SeO32--Anionen und H2O-Moleküle) diskutiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: On the Hydrates M(HSeO3)2 · 4H2O (M = Mg, Co, Ni, Zn) - Crystal Structures, IR, Raman, and Thermoanalytical InvestigationsFrom aqueous solutions of M(HSeO3)2 single crystals of Mg(HSeO3)2 · 4H2O and of the hitherto unknown compounds Co(HSeO3)2 · 4H2O, Ni(HSeO3)2 · 4H2O and Zn(HSeO3)2 · 4H2O could be obtained. The crystal structures, X-ray powder, IR, Raman and thermoanalytical (DTA, TG, Raman heating) data are presented and discussed. The crystal data of the isotypic compounds are: monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, Mg: a = 1 464.6(2), b = 755.3(1), c = 1 099.9(1) pm, β = 126.59(1)°, V = 0.9769(1) nm3, Co: a = 1 462.5(2), b = 756.5(2), c = 1 102.2(2) pm, β = 126.53(1)°, V = 0.9798(2) nm3, Ni: a = 1 452.2(2), b = 751.0(1), c = 1 091.5(1) pm, β = 126.28(1)°, V = 0.9595(1) nm3, Zn: a = 1 468.3(2), b = 755.8(1), c = 1 103.1(1) pm, β = 126.79(1)°, V = 0.9804(2) nm3. The crystal structures consist of hexagonal packed [M(HSeO3)2 · 2H2O]n chains of [MO4(H2O)2] octahedra linked by Se atoms. They contain trigonal pyramidal SeO2OH-ions with “free” hydroxyl groups and also “free” molecules of water of crystallization. The hydroxyl groups build strong H-bonds (O—H … O distances: 265-268 pm). The IR spectra show AB doublett bands in the OH stretching mode region of the hydroxyl groups. The water molecules of crystallization are linked to planar (H2O)4 tetramers by H-bonds with unusually short O—H … O bond distances of 271-273 pm. DTA and TG measurements indicate that thermal decomposition results in the direct formation of the respective diselenite MSe2O5. Raman heating measurements show under quasi static conditions the intermediate formation of the anhydrous hydrogen selenites.
    Notes: Aus M(HSeO3)2-Lösungen konnten erstmals Einkristalle von Mg(HSeO3)2 · 4H2O sowie die bisher nicht bekannten Verbindungen Co(HSeO3)2 · 4H2O, Ni(HSeO3)2 · 4H2O und Zn(HSeO3)2 · 4H2O erhalten werden. Die Kristallstrukturen, Röntgenpulverdaten, IR- und Raman-Spektren sowie die Ergebnisse thermoanalytischer (DTA, TG, Raman-Heizaufnahmen) Untersuchungen werden mitgeteilt und diskutiert. Die Kristalldaten der isotypen Verbindungen sind: monoklin, Raumgruppe C2/c, Z = 4, Mg: a = 1 464,6(2), b = 755,3(1), c = 1 099,9(1) pm, β = 126,59(1)°, V = 0,9769(1) nm3, Co: a = 1 462,5(2), b = 756,5(2), c = 1 102,2(2) pm, β = 126,53(1)°, V = 0,9798(2) nm3, Ni: a = 1 452,2(2), b = 751,0(1), c = 1 091,5(1) pm, β = 126,28(1)°, V = 0,9595(1) nm3, Zn: a = 1 468,3(2), b = 755,8(1), c = 1 103,1(1) pm, β = 126,79(1)°, V = 0,9804(2) nm3. Die Kristallstrukturen bestehen aus hexagonal gepackten [M(HSeO3)2 · 2H2O]n-Ketten Se-verbrückter [MO4(H2O)2]-Oktaeder. Sie enthalten trigonal pyramidale SeO2OH--Ionen mit „freien“ Hydroxylgruppen und „freie“ Kristallwassermoleküle. Die Hydroxylgruppen bilden starke H-Brücken (O—H … O-Abstände: 265-268 pm). Die IR-Spektren zeigen im Bereich der OH-Streckschwingungen der Hydroxylgruppen AB-Doublett-Banden. Die Kristallwassermoleküle sind zu planaren (H2O)4-Tetrameren mit ungewöhnlich kurzen O—H … Ow-Abständen (271 - 273 pm) H-verbrückt. Die thermische Zersetzung führt nach DTA- und TG-Messungen direkt zum jeweiligen Diselenit MSe2O5. Mittels Raman-Heizaufnahmen unter Quasi-Gleichgewichtsbedingungen konnte erstmals die intermediäre Bildung wasserfreier Hydrogenselenite beobachtet werden.
