    Notes: Abstract Under the condition that liquid epoxy resin impregnation was through polyester non-woven fabric sheets, sandwiched between two circular glass plates, the increase in gas pressure caused by decrease in the volume of non-impregnating area was not as much as expected according to Boyle's law. Hence, the quantity of the gas consumed by dissolution and diffusion into the liquid resin and the polyester fibers, as well as by the void formation in the impregnating area of liquid resin, was calculated. According to the results, the quantities of gas decreased by dissolution and diffusion from the non-impregnating area into the impregnating liquid resin and into the polyester fiber are found to be so small that the deviation from Boyle's law mostly depends on the gas consumption due to the void formation in the impregnating area. Observing the impregnating region with a microscope, many voids were found in the area between the non-impregnating area and the completely impregnated area. The number and size of voids are theoretically estimated by assuming the non-uniformity of the fiber distribution in the polyester non-woven fabric.

    Notes: Summary Enzyme electrophoretic data show a remarkably high degree of genetic similarity within the European group ofnapi s.l. whereas genetic differences exist at several loci between the European and the North American taxa ofnapi s.l. It is concluded that the European taxa did not differentiate to the species level and form a phylogenetically young group. The North American taxa included in this study are specifically distinct from Europeannapi and separated much earlier. Within these North American taxamarginalis, oleracea andvirginiensis did undergo speciation. The data show a splitting of the genusPieris into three species groups, each genetically differentiated to the same level. The splitting ofPieris into two genera, as suggested by earlier investigators, is not supported here.

    Notes: Summary The contents of serotonin (5 HT) and its metabolite 5 hydroxy indoleacetic acid (5 HIAA) have been measured (HPLC technique) in the brains of eels exposed to different conditions of hydrostatic pressure and temperature (HP=1 or 101 ATA in winter, Tw=14°C, and in summer, Tw=19°C). It appears that an increase of Tw induces a significant increase of the 5 HT/5 HIAA ratio. In contrast, eels exposed at 101 ATA of HP for 1 h do not exhibit any modification in the 5 HT/5 HIAA brain ratio at a given temperature. The involvement of 5 HT under the conditions studied is discussed.

    Notes: Summary ATPase activity and force generation have been measured simultaneously in isolated, demembranated muscle fibers of the Pacific blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) between 0 and 30°C. Tension generation is relatively independent of temperature above 15°C and falls with a Q10 of 〈1.5 on decreasing the temperature to 0°C. In contrast, the Q10 for ATPase activity is 2.2 over the range 0–30°C. The results are interpreted in terms of the cross bridge theory of contraction.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des tables de vie ont été établies pour déterminer l'effet de températures constantes sur les taux de croissance de populations de la cochenille du manioc, Phenacoccus manihoti Mat.-Ferr., et ainsi comprendre les changements au sein des populations du ravageur dans les champs et mener à bien le programme de lutte biologique organisé à l'I.I.T.A. contre cette cochenille. P. manihoti, introduit à partir de l'Amérique latine en Afrique, y menace la production du manioc (Manihot esculenta Crantz). Le taux intrinsèque d'accroissement natural (rm) a augmenté de 0.114 à 20°C, à 0.185 à 27°C, avant de descendre à 0.182 à 30.5°C. Le taux net de reproduction (Ro) a été relativement élevé (426–584 oeufs femelles/génération). Dans nos conditions expérimentales, la mortalité a atteint 50% au bout de 37.5, 21.5, 19.0 jours respectivement à 20, 23.5, 27 et 30.5°C. La durée du cycle et le coefficient d'accroissement (λ) étaient inversement liés à la température. Le ravageur possède la capacité de doubler sa population en 6.08 jours à 20°C alors que 3.81 jours seulement suffisent pour doubler la population à 30.5°C. Ces résultats nous ont permis de comprendre et d'expliquer l'énorme pouvoir de pullulation de la cochenille observé dans les champs pendant la saison sèche; il s'ensuit que les lâchers des entomophages produits en élevages doivent se faire très tôt au début de la saison sèche, afin de contrecarrer la grande fertilité et la capacité d'augmentation rapide des populations de P. manihoti.
    Notes: Abstract Life table studies were conducted to assess the effect of constant temperature on the rate of population growth of the cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti Matile-Ferrero. Four temperatures, between 20 and 30.5°C, were tested. An inverse relationship was observed between temperature and most demographic parameters. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm) increased from 0.1 at 20°C to 0.2 at 27°C and 30.5°C. The net reproductive rate varied between 426.3 at 30.5°C and 584.7 at 20°C. The mealybug population reached 50% mortality after 37.5, 21.5, 19.0 and 19.0 days respectively at 20, 23.5, 27 and 30.5°C. The results indicate that P. manihoti can persist and increase in numbers within the range between 20 and 30.5°C.

    Notes: Summary In the Mediterranean field cricket,Gryllus bimaculatus, reproduction is controlled by temperature and the corpus allatum (CA) hormone JH III. In CA of females reared at 24°∶12°C(16∶8 h) (high reproduction rate) a first peak in JH III synthesis is reached about 4 days earlier than in those of 20°C females (low reproduction rate). Furthermore, in 20°C animals CA activity is low during the entire oviposition period, whereas at 24°∶12°C high CA activity is found during this period of adult life. The results indicate a stimulation of CA activity and reproduction by thermoperiods around a constant low temperature.

    Notes: Summary Theories on the evolution of sex determining mechanisms are reviewed for male and female heterogamety, environmental sex determination, and briefly, haplo-diploidy and hermaphroditism. Because of their discrete and well-defined nature, sex determining mechanisms lend themselves to three types of evolutionary questions:what variety occurs and might be expected but does not occur,how do changes occur from one mechanism to another, andwhy do certain changes occur? All three approaches were illustrated for these different sex determining mechanisms. A generality emerging from these studies is that, at the level of selection on the sex ratio, there are no intrinsic problems in evolving from one sex determining mechanism to another: straightforward transitions between different mechanisms exist under various conditions.

    Notes: Abstract In vitro DNA:DNA hybridizations and hydroxyapatite thermal-elution chromatography were employed to identify the diploid Triticum species ancestral to the G genome of Triticum timopheevii. Total genomic, unique-sequence, and repeated-sequence fractions of 3H-T. timopheevii DNA were hybridized to the corresponding fractions of unlabeled DNAs of T. searsii, T. speltoides, T. sharonensis, T. longissimum, and T. bicorne. The heteroduplex thermal stabilities indicated that, of the five species examined, T. speltoides was the most closely related to the G genome of T. timopheevii. Thus, T. spelotides appears to be the G-genome donor to T. timopheevii. The thermal stability profiles further indicated that the repeated DNA fractions from the five diploid species and the tetraploid T. timopheevii are more similar than the unique DNA fractions. This indicates that all of these species are closely related and that the sequences which comprise the current repeated fractions in the various species have not undergone any significant change since the formation of various species.

    Notes: Abstract Two glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI;D-glucose-6-phosphate ketolisomerase; EC 5.3.1.9) alleloenzymes from the blue mussel,Mytilus edulis, were purified to homogeneity. The steady-state kinetic properties of GPI1.00 and GPI.96, which exhibit latitudinal clines in frequency along the Atlantic coast of North America, were determined in both the glycolytic and the gluconeogenic reaction directions at physiological temperatures and pH levels. The two alleloenzymes are catalytically similar at low temperatures (5–10°C), while GPI1.00 diverges to become more efficient at higher physiological temperatures (15–25°C). This pattern of differentiation is consistent with the latitudinal distributions of the alleloenzymes and is due to the greater temperature sensitivities of GPI1.00 V max /K m values of the two alleloenzymes are virtually the same over the physiological range of temperatures. The observed pattern of catalytic differentiation is similar to that seen for interspecific GPI variants.

    Notes: Abstract Starch gel electrophoresis of creatine kinase (CK) isozymes of Xenopus tropicalis shows that at least two different genes code for CK in this diploid (2n=20) species. These genes seem to be orthologous to the CK-A and CK-C genes of extant crossopterygian fish. Additional isozymes may be interpreted either as products of duplicate genes or, more probably, as epigenetically modified forms of the homodimers AtAt and CtCt, respectively. The originally tetraploid species X. laevis laevis (2n=36), which may have arisen by hybridization of diploid ancestors some 30–40 million years ago, has retained expression of all duplicate CK-A and CK-C genes. Differential expression during ontogenesis (CK-A genes) and in different adult tissues (CK-C genes) indicates that divergence occurred not only with respect to the primary sequence of these duplicate genes, but also with respect to the regulation of their expression. In the interspecific hybrid X. 1. laevis × X. tropicalis, all parental CK genes appear to be expressed simultaneously in the heart. However, several subunit combinations cannot be detected on the zymograms.

    Notes: Abstract Three populations of randomly bredMus musculus, differing in size and generations of isolation, were scored on a battery of 16 behavioral and 4 physical measures. The pattern of population differences in wheel activity, open-field behavior, skin conductance, and shuttle-box behavior is consistent with the operation of drift associated more closely with small population size than with generations of separation. Other possible explanations are less likely.

    Notes: Abstract As an extension of the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) evolutionarily stable sets are introduced, i.e. sets of equilibrium strategies (EQS) which have much of the properties of an ESS. They are primarily used with evolutionary game models that allow a continuum of EQSs, none of which can be an ESS, but also include common ESSs as a special case. For a large class even of nonlinear models it can be shown that the standard dynamics converge towards some equilibrium point in an ES set if started within a neighbourhood of the set. Important applications of ES sets include e.g. mixed-strategist models and evolutionary game models in sexual populations.

    Notes: Abstract Differentiation on hormoneless media, habituation ability and crown gall induction inNicotiana tissue cultures have been used as physiological parameters of evolutionary differentiation between species. Some of them on hormone free media differentiated whole plantlets, others produced only shoots or roots or showed undifferentiated growth (habituation), some eventually died. Moreover, the same genotypes showed a differential behaviour as far as tumor formation byAgrobacterium tumefaciens was concerned. Particularly, the competence for crown gall transformation inNicotiana species seems negatively correlated with differentiation capacity and may be ascribed to differences in the plants capacity to synthesize growth regulators. The correlation between the results obtained and the phylogenetic position of the genotypes tested is finally discussed.

    Notes: Abstract In vitro cultures of three Prunus clones (d. 1869, GF 677 and CAB 11E) were successfully stored at +8°, +4° and-3°C following the proliferation phase. Survival of cultures was dependent upon interactions of storage temperature, light, and age of subculture. Up to 100% of the cultures survived at the end of the trials after 170 (at +4°C) and 200 (at-3°C) days storage. Complete dardness appeared more suitable than 16-h (hour) photoperiod for successful storage at-3°C for up to 10 months. One or two weeks in normal growth room vefore storage at-3°C for up to 10 months. One or two weeks in normal growth room before storage enhanced the survival S-1. The proliferation of the cultures following storage at-3°C in the first subculture appeared similar to those under standard growth room conditions. Part of the results were presented as a poster at the 10th Congress of Eucapia in Wegeningen, The Netherlands, 19–24 June 1983.

    Notes: Summary At present research into the inhibition of plant growth by sub-optimal temperatures is concerned with the examination of a large number of factors. No single aspect of the response to temperature has been found to be of paramount importance. As a consequence selection for low temperature tolerance is complicated. Here a new approach is proposed in which inhibition of cell division is regarded as a limiting process in growth under sub-optimal temperatures, and the role of other processes as the supply of substrate for cell division. This approach may be of use in the examination of the response of plant growth to temperature and could form the basis of a method for screening and selection for cold tolerance using cells in culture.

    Notes: Summary Embryos derived from Hordeum vulgare L. x H. bulbosum L. were subjected in vivo to a range of temperatures, and the proportions of hybrid plants which retain both parental sets of chromosomes were determined. Elimination of the H. bulbosum genome was significantly increased at temperatures greater than 20°C and resulted in fewer hybrid plants compared with temperatures below 17.5°C. Embryos were also allowed to develop in situ at 15°C and then transferred to 26°C for 8, 16 or 24h during the first 7 days after pollination. A period of 16 h at 26°C (equivalent to at least one complete mitotic cycle) at 2–5 days after pollination was found to be sufficient to increase chromosome elimination significantly above the levels obtained at a constant 15°C. At this stage (2–5 days after pollination at 15°C) the mean embryonic cell number was 2.3–223.

    Notes: Abstract Carnation petals, at a stage in which they are already producing ethylene, show a sigmoidal dependency of ethylene production on temperature within the range of 0 to 30°C. An Arrhenius plot of these data show a break atca. 22°C in the straight lines connecting the points. The activity of the ethylene-forming enzyme (EFE), measured bothin vitro, using isolated membranes, andin vivo, using petals pretreated with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), shows an exponential dependency on temperature within the same range. Arrhenius plots of EFE activity fail to show any discontinuity. In contrast, ACC synthase activity measuredin vitro shows the same sigmoidal dependency on temperature as that of the intact petals. We suggest, therefore, that ACC synthase activity is the rate-limiting step mediating the influence of temperature on ethylene biosynthesis by carnation petals over the range studied.

    Notes: Abstract Embryonic development times of the principal entomostracan zooplankton of Lake le Roux, Orange River, South Africa, are described. Durations decreased monotonically with temperature over the thermal tolerance range and are described using Bělehrádek's equation. The present data are compared with other observations on rate-temperature responses of warm-water and temperate zooplankton. Small, but ecologically significant, differences are discerned. The possible significance of species-specific rate-temperature responses to the phenomenon of seasonal succession is explored.

    Notes: Abstract Photosynthetic productivity (Ps) of the estuarine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum mariae-lebouriae (Parke and Ballantine) comb. nov., was measured with an open differential infra-red gas analysis system especially designed to measure CO2 uptake at a constant CO2 concentration. Ps was determined in six different fluorescent lamp spectral qualities (SQ) (daylight, blue, green, orange, orange-red and red) with bandwiths ranging from 50 to 75 nm and at photon flux densities (PFD) from 1.7 to 170 μmol of quanta s−1 m−2 to characterize the spectral response of daylight SQ grown P. mariae-lebouriae cultures. Ps was significantly higher for blue irradiation than for any other SQ. Compared to blue (100%) the following mean values were found: daylight 88%, green 79%, orange 29%, orange-red 56%, and red 87%. Differences were greatest at low PFD. Most measurements were performed at 20°C, but Ps was found to vary as a direct function of the culture temperature. A 10°C increase in temperature caused a 50% increase in Ps from 10° to 30°C with saturating PFD. Since the analytical system measured very small CO2 differentials, down to 0.5 μl l−1, we were able to detect small and fast CO2 transients at the beginning and end of an irradiation. These transients, known as CO2-‘burst’ and CO2-‘gulp’, increased in magnitude with increased PFD.

    Notes: Abstract The temperature regime of the intertidal microhabitat of two species of co-existing amphibious stichaeoid fishes, Anoplarchus purpurescens and Pholis ornata, were compared with experimentally determined tolerances to elevated temperatures. Studies of the critical thermal maxima of the two species revealed only slight differences in temperature tolerance but exposure to a cycled pattern of high temperatures sharply differentiated the resistance times of the two species with P. ornata capable of tolerating greater cumulative exposure to thermal stress when administered in a cycled program of temperature fluctuations with peak temperature at 27 °C. While the experimentally determined temperature tolerances exceeded those measured in the field, the greater tolerance of P. ornata may facilitate habitation of intertidal mudflats during summer months.

    Notes: Abstract Electron transport system (ETS) activity, CO2 evolution, O2 consumption, N2-fixation (C2H2 reduction) and methanogenesis were appropriately measured in aerobic and anaerobically incubated sediment at 4, 10 and 20 ° C to better characterize these activities under different incubation conditions. ETS activity was always higher in the aerobically incubated sediment at all three incubation temperatures, whereas (C2H2 reduction was always greater in the anaerobic sediment. Carbon dioxide evolution was detected only in the aerobic sediment at 10 and 20 ° C but not at 4 ° C. Methane evolution in anaerobic sediment increased gradually with an increase in the incubation temperature.

    Notes: Summary The nucleotide sequence of the 18S rRNA gene from soybean mitochondria was determined and is presented here in comparison to the 18S rRNA genes from wheat and maize mitochondria. All three genes exhibit remarkable sequence similarity supporting the proposal that there is a slower rate of nucleotide divergence in plant mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as compared to the mtDNA of animals. A lower degree of sequence similarity is observed between the dicotyledenous plant soybean and either wheat (84%) or maize (85%) than between the two monocots (96%). A possible secondary structure for the soybean 18S rRNA is presented that is analogous to the proposed structure for the E. coli 16S rRNA.

    Notes: Summary Two bean mitochondrial tRNAsTyr purified by RPC-5 chromatography and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis have been sequenced using post-labeling techniques. These two tRNAs only differ by three post-transcriptional modifications in the D-loop. They have a large variable loop and therefore resemble prokaryotic tRNAsTyr rather than eukaryotic cytoplasmic tRNAsTyr.

    Notes: Abstract Net photosynthetic rates and mesophyll conductances at 25 °C at light saturation and air levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen were measured on recently fully expanded leaflets of second trifoliolate leaves of soybeans (Glycine max cv. Kent). Plants were grown outdoors in pots at Beltsville, Maryland with 14 planting times from May through August, 1983. Air temperature and humidity, and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) were measured for the expansion periods of the second trifoliolate leaves. Rates of net photosynthesis ranged from 24 to 33 μmol m−2 s−1, and mesophyll conductances from 0.24 to 0.35 cm s−1 for the different planting dates. Mean 24-h air temperatures ranged from 20.6 to 29.0 °C, and mean daily PAR ranged from 29.4 to 58.4 mol m−2 d−1 for the leaf expansion periods. There was a positive relationship between photosynthetic characteristics and PAR during leaf expansion, and a negative relationship between photosynthetic characteristics and leaf expansion rates, with 96% of the variation in photosynthetic characteristics accounted for by these two variables. Leaf expansion rates were highly correlated with air temperature.

The experiments were performed in a continuous flow reactor using chemiluminescent and wet chemical methods of analysis.

As commonly encountered in previous studies a lower-than-two reaction stoichiometry is observed. Heterogeneous reactions occurring at the reactor wall seem to be essential in the reaction mechanism. The NO3 wall conversion to NO2 and the N2O5 wall scavenging in the presence of H2O are suggested to account for the observed stoichiometric factors.

    Notes: Abstract Net photosynthetic rates and mesophyll conductances were measured under standardized conditions for leaves of two C3 and one C4 annual species grown at temperatures of 20 to 32°C. Plants were grown with varying day and night temperatures, and also at constant temperatures equal to all the day and night temperatures used. Plants were grown with 8, 12, and 16 hours of light per day. This design allowed determination of whether photosynthetic characteristics were best correlated with day, night, mean, or time-weighted mean temperatures, The results showed that for Glycine max (L.) Merr. (C3) night temperature was most important in determining photosynthetic characteristics, while in Helianthus annuus L. (C3) and Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. (C4) the time-weighted mean temperature was most important. The results for all species were consistent with the hypothesis that development of photosynthetic characteristics is related to a balance between the rate of leaf expansion and the rate of photosynthesis under the growth conditions.

    Notes: Abstract This paper deals with a mathematical game. As the name implies, the game concept is formulated with biological evolution in mind. An evolutionary game differs from the usual game concepts in that the players cannot choose their strategies. Rather, the strategies used by the players are handed down from generation to generation. It is the survival characteristics of a strategy that determine the outcome of the evolutionary game. Players interact and receive payoffs according to the strategies they are using. These interactions, in turn, determine the fitness of players using a given strategy. The survival characteristics of strategy are determined directly from the fitness functions. Necessary conditions for determining an evolutionarily stable strategy are developed here for a continuous game. Results are illustrated with an example.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La prise de nourriture par les adultes deCyrtobagous salviniae n'était pas influencée par la concentration d'azote dans les bourgeons deSalvinia molesta. Le temps mis pour's alimenter sur un bourgeon dépendait de la température et de la vitesse de développement du bourgeon parce que les adultes abandonnaient un bourgeon quand il commençait à s'ouvrir. Quand 2 paires d'adultes furent placées sur un bourgeon partiellement développé 35°C, le développement du bourgeon était arrêté. Les plants attaqués par les charançons durant 3 jours furent plus gros que les plants indemnes, mais après 10 jours de plus sans attaque ultérieure, la croissance des plants indemnes était significativement plus forte.
    Notes: Abstract Feeding by adultCyrtobagous salviniae was not influenced by the concentration of nitrogen in the buds ofSalvinia molesta. The time spent feeding on a bud was dependent on temperature and the rate of bud development because adults abandoned a bud when it started to open. When 2 pairs of adults were placed on a partially developed bud at 35°C, bud development was stopped. Plants attacked by weevils for 3 days were heavier than insect-free plants but after another 10 days without further attack, growth of unattached plants was significantly greater.
