    Notes: Abstract The stability of a polling system with exhaustive service and a finite number of users, each with infinite buffers is considered. The arrival process is more general than a Poisson process and the system is not slotted. Stochastic continuity of the stationary distributions, rates of convergence and functional limit theorems for the queue length and waiting time processes have also been proved. The results extend to the gated service discipline.

    Symmetrization properties of parabolic equations in symmetric domains (1994)

    Details
    ISSN: 1572-9222
    Keywords: Symmetry ; parabolic equations ; positive solutions ; stability
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract Symmetry properties of positive solutions of a Dirichlet problem for a strongly nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation in a symmetric domainD ⊂ R n are considered. It is assumed that the domainD and the equation are invariant with respect to a group {Q} of transformations ofD. In examples {Q} consists of reflections or rotations. The main result of the paper is the theorem which states that any compact inC(D) negatively invariant set which consists of positive functions consists ofQ-symmetric functions. Examples of negatively invariant sets are (in autonomous case) equilibrium points, omega-limit sets, alpha-limit sets, unstable sets of invariant sets, and global attractors. Application of the main theorem to equilibrium points gives the Gidas-Ni-Nirenberg theorem. Applying the theorem to omega-limit sets, we obtain the asymptotical symmetrization property. That means that a bounded solutionu(t) asr→∞ approaches subspace of symmetric functions. One more result concerns properties of eigenfunctions of linearizations of the equations at positive equilibrium points. It is proved that all unstable eigenfunctions are symmetric.

    Monotonicity and stability of periodic polling models (1994)

    Notes: Abstract This paper deals with the stability of periodic polling models with a mixture of service policies. Customers arrive according to independent Poisson processes. The service times and the switchover times are independent with general distributions. The necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of such polling systems is established. The proof is based on the stochastic monotonicity of the state process at the polling instants. The stability of only a subset of the queues is also analyzed and, in case of heavy traffic, the order of explosion of the queues is given. The results are valid for a model with set-up times, and also when there is a local priority rule at the queues.

    Single-server queues with spatially distributed arrivals (1994)

    ISSN: 1572-9443
    Keywords: Single-server queue ; spatially distributed arrival points ; travelling server ; Brownian motion ; embedded Markov chain ; stability ; Tweedie's lemma ; regenerative processes ; stochastic decomposition ; equilibrium equations ; mean queue length
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Computer Science
    Notes: Abstract Consider a queueing system where customers arrive at a circle according to a homogeneous Poisson process. After choosing their positions on the circle, according to a uniform distribution, they wait for a single server who travels on the circle. The server's movement is modelled by a Brownian motion with drift. Whenever the server encounters a customer, he stops and serves this customer. The service times are independent, but arbitrarily distributed. The model generalizes the continuous cyclic polling system (the diffusion coefficient of the Brownian motion is zero in this case) and can be interpreted as a continuous version of a Markov polling system. Using Tweedie's lemma for positive recurrence of Markov chains with general state space, we show that the system is stable if and only if the traffic intensity is less than one. Moreover, we derive a stochastic decomposition result which leads to equilibrium equations for the stationary configuration of customers on the circle. Steady-state performance characteristics are determined, in particular the expected number of customers in the system as seen by a travelling server and at an arbitrary point in time.

    Notes: Abstract The non-linear stability of the libration pointL 4 in the restricted problem has been studied when there are perturbations in the potentials between the bodies. It is seen that the pointL 4 is stable for all mass ratios in the range of linear stability except for three mass ratios depending upon the perturbing functions. The theory is applied to the following four cases: (i) There are no perturbations in the potentials (classical problem). (ii) Only the bigger primary is an oblate spheroid whose axis of symmetry is perpendicular to the plane of relative motion (circular) of the primaries. (iii) Both the primaries are oblate spheroids whose axes of symmetry are perpendicular to the plane of relative motion (circular) of the primaries. (iv) The primaries are spherical in shape and the bigger is a source of radiation.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, we analyze a simple free boundary model associated with solid combustion and some phase transition processes. There is strong evidence that this “one-phase” model captures all major features of dynamical behavior of more realistic (and complicated) combustion and phase transition models. The principal results concern the dynamical behavior of the model as a bifurcation parameter (which is related to the activation energy in the case of combustion) varies. We prove that the basic uniform front propagation is asymptotically stable against perturbations for the bifurcation parameter above the instability threshold and that a Hopf bifurcation takes place at the threshold value. Results of numerical simulations are presented which confirm that both supercritical and subcritical Hofp bifurcation may occur for physically reasonable nonlinear kinetic functions.

    Bifurcations of separatrices in the averaged planar general three-body problem at first-order resonance (1994)

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Abstract It is known that an abridged case of the averaged planar general three-body problem, at first-order resonance, is analytically integrated, using an expansion of the disturbing function linear in the eccentricities. There exist different methods with the help of which the integration can be performed. For the first time Sessin and Ferraz-Mello in the years 1981–88 (Sessin, 1981, 1983; Ferraz-Mello and Sessin, 1984; Ferraz-Mello, 1987, 1988) did an analytic integration for the restricted elliptic three-body problem, in terms of the variablesK andH (K=ΣD j e j cos (ψ1−π j ),H=ΣD j e j sin (ψ1−π j ),D j = const, wheree j and π j are, respectively, the eccentricity and the longitude of the periapsis of thei-th planet, ψ1 is the Delaunay's anomaly), which is inconvenient for the analytical investigation of the evolution of the major semi-axesa j , the eccentricitiese j and the resonance phases ϕ j =ψ1−π j . Later, a different method for the analytical integration of the general three-body problem, in the variablesa j ,e j and ϕ j , was considered by the author (Shinkin, 1993). A disadvantage of both methods is the fact that they use non-canonical changes of variables. But there exists a third very beautiful canonical method of analytical integration of the general planetary problem, which is briefly considered in the present paper and allows us to describe the bifurcations of separatrices (i.e. appearance, disappearance, splitting and confluence of separatrices) separating the domains of libration and circulation of the resonance phase on the phase plane in the averaged planar general three-body problem at first-order resonance. The bifurcation parameter is analytically found and plays an important role in a qualitative description of all kinds of motion in the examined problem.

    The structure of chaos in a potential without escapes (1994)

    Keywords: Chaos ; periodic orbits ; stability ; asymptotic curves ; homoclinic points ; heteroclinic points
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Abstract We study the structure of chaos in a simple Hamiltonian system that does no have an escape energy. This system has 5 main periodic orbits that are represented on the surface of section $$(y,\dot y)$$ by the points (1)O(0,0), (2)C 1,C 2(±y c, 0), (3)B 1,B 2(O,±1) and (4) the boundary $$y^2 + \dot y^2 = 1$$ . The periodic orbits (1) and (4) have infinite transitions from stability (S) to instability (U) and vice-versa; the transition values of ε are given by simple approximate formulae. At every transitionS →U a set of 4 asymptotic curves is formed atO. For larger ε the size and the oscillations of these curves grow until they destroy the closed invariant curves that surroundO, and they intersect the asymptotic curves of the orbitsC 1,C 2 at infinite heteroclinic points. At every transitionU →S these asymptotic curves are duplicated and they start at two unstable invariant points bifurcating fromO. At the transition itself the asymptotic curves fromO are tangent to each other. The areas of the lobes fromO increase with ε; these lobes increase even afterO becomes stable again. The asymptotic curves of the unstable periodic orbits follow certain rules. Whenever there are heteroclinic points the asymptotic curves of one unstable orbit approach the asymptotic curves of another unstable orbit in a definite way. Finally we study the tangencies and the spirals formed by the asymptotic curves of the orbitsB 1,B 2. We find indications that the number of spiral rotations tends to infinity as ε → ∞. Therefore new tangencies between the asymptotic curves appear for arbitrarily large ε. As a consequence there are infinite new families of stable periodic orbits that appear for arbitrarily large ε.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper we deal with the circular Sitnikov problem as a subsystem of the three-dimensional circular restricted three-body problem. It has a first analytical part where by using elliptic functions we give the analytical expressions for the solutions of the circular Sitnikov problem and for the period function of its family of periodic orbits. We also analyze the qualitative and quantitative behavior of the period function. In the second numerical part, we study the linear stability of the family of periodic orbits of the Sitnikov problem, and of the families of periodic orbits of the three-dimensional circular restricted three-body problem which bifurcate from them; and we follow these bifurcated families until they end in families of periodic orbits of the planar circular restricted three-body problem. We compare our results with the previous ones of other authors on this problem. Finally, the characteristic curves of some bifurcated families obtained for the mass parameter close to 1/2 are also described.

    Notes: Abstract A new approach to the integration of vertex singularities is described. This approach is based on a non-uniform subdivision of the region of integration and the technique fits well to the subdivision strategy used in many adaptive algorithms. A nice feature with this approach is that it can be used in any dimension and on any region of integration which can be subdivided into subregions of the same form. The strategy can be applied both to vertex singularities and internal point singularities. In the latter case this can be done without an initial subdivision of the region in order to put the singular point in a vertex. It turns out that the technique has excellent numerical stability properties.

    Notes: Abstract We have used hybridization analysis to detect ancient DNA in wheat seeds collected from three archaeological sites in Europe and the Middle East. One of these samples, carbonizedT. spelta dated to the first millennium BC, has yielded PCR products after amplification with primers directed at the leader regions of the HMW (high molecular weight) glutenin alleles. Sequences obtained from these products suggest that the DNA present in the Danebury seeds is chemically damaged, as expected for ancient DNA, and also indicate that it should be possible to study the genetic variability of archaeological wheat by ancient DNA analysis. Finally, we describe a PCR-based system that enables tetraploid and hexaploid wheats to be distinguished.

The catalytic activity and the redox properties of the catalyst were found intact. Only small variations of the ratio of the octahedral and tetrahedral vanadia species were documented by51V NMR on aged catalyst.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Menge der Kostenparameter, für die eine optimale Lösung des dynamischen Losgrößenmodells optimal bleibt wird hier Stabilitätsregion genannt. Die Größe einer solchen Menge kann als Maß der Robustheit einer Lösung angesehen werden. Es ist zu erwarten, daß die Stabilitätsregionen mit wachsendem Zeithorizont schrumpfen und daß sie in diesem Sinne monoton sind. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden verschiedene hinreichende Bedingungen für diese Monotonie untersucht. Die Bedingungen setzen unter anderem die Existenz von Planungs- und Vorhersage-Horizonten voraus und verallgemeinern so Ergebnisse einer früheren Arbeit, in der Aussagen für gewöhnliche Planungs-Horizonte vorgestellt wurden.
    Notes: Abstract The set of cost inputs for which an optimal solution of the dynamic lot size model remains valid is called stability region. The size of this region may be viewed as a measure of robustness of a solution. It is an expectation that the stability regions shrink with growing time horizons and that they are monotonous in this sense. In the present paper several sufficient conditions implying monotonicity will be studied. The conditions cover the existence of planning and forecast horizons and generalize the results of a previous paper in wich monotonicity results were presented for the case of ordinary planning horizons.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Si considera il problema di stabilità di punti di equilibrio di un pendolo fisico con un filo inestensibile appeso ad esso dal punto di vista del teorema di Lagrange sulla stabilità e sulla sua inversione. Difficoltà specifiche relative allo studio di un sistema meccanico di dimensione infinita sono discusse. Si suggerisce un nuovo metodo per lo studio della stabilità rispetto a due metriche. L'influenza di fenomeni di risonanza sul moto del sistema ridotto (linearizzato) è considerata.
    Notes: Abstract The problem of stability of equilibria of a physical pendulum with a nonstretchable thread attached to it is considered from the standpoint of the Lagrange theorem on stability and its inversion. Specific difficulties which one faces when studying an infinite dimensional mechanical system are discussed. A new approach to the study of stability with respect to two metrics is suggested. The influence of resonant phenomena on the motion of the shortened (linearized) system is considered.

    Notes: Abstract In many developing countries, fertilizer recommendations must be made in the absence of plant and soil analyses. When the region is variable in terms of soils, weather, and magnitude of response to fertilizer, a recommendation is likely to involve a high degree of risk for the farmer. Quantification of such risk is key to developing appropriate recommendations for the farmer. However, most methodologies generally used in analyzing fertilizer trials do not allow adequate quantification, especially as a continuous function, of the risk associated with a given recommendation. Three years of on-farm trials conducted in the High Valley of Mexico were used to evaluate different methodologies for generating N fertilization recommendations and their associated risk for wheat (Triticum aestivum) production in the absence of soil tests. When the traditional approach, using average yield responses or separate trial results, was used, an economic optimum was identified, but it was not possible to quantify the associated risk. In contrast, however, by using a combination of response surface methodology and simple probability analysis, the risk associated with any given recommendation was developed, even under the highly variable conditions of the study zone. The approach uses a treatment difference matrix (developed using average yield differences between a treatment and the zero N (0N) check) and its associated standard deviation over locations. From the matrix, an equation (being a function of N rate and relative grain:N price ratios) was developed that shows the probability of outperforming the 0N check for the economic optimum rate.

    Notes: Abstract A greenhouse study was conducted to determine if soil pH affects the requirement for water-soluble P and the tolerance of water-insoluble impurities in TSP fertilizers. Two commercial TSP fertilizers were selected to represent a range in phosphate rock sources and impurities. Phosphate fertilizer impurities were isolated as the water-washed fraction by washing whole fertilizers with deionized water. TSP fertilizers with various quantities of water-soluble P (1.2 to 99% water-soluble P) were simulated by mixing the water-washed fertilizer fractions or dicalcium phosphate (DCP) with reagent-grade monocalcium phosphate (MCP). The fertilizers were applied to supply 40 mg AOAC available P kg−1 to a Mountview silt loam (fine-silty, siliceous, thermic Typic Paleudults). Wheat (Triticum aestivum (L.)) was harvested at 49 and 84 days after planting. Soil pH values at the final forage harvest were 5.4±0.16 and 6.4±0.15. At a soil pH of 5.4, the TSP fertilizers required only 37% water-soluble P to reach maximum yields while at pH 6.4 the fertilizers required 63% water-soluble P. Results of this study show that higher levels of water -insoluble P can be tolerated in TSP fertilizers when applied to acid soils. Phosphorus uptake was not affected by soil pH, but for the mixtures containing the fertilizer residues the source having the lowest level of Fe and Al had a higher relative agronomic effectiveness.

    Notes: Abstract Using soils with an acidic subsurface layer, three glasshouse experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of placement method and application rate of triple superphosphate (TSP) and North Carolina phosphate rock (NCPR) on dry matter (DM) yields. Time of application of NCPR on DM yield response of wheat was also studied. For Experiment 1, soil was collected in depth intervals of 0–2; 4–6; 6–8; and 8–10 cm from a red earth (chromic luvisol). The treatments included two P sources (TSP and NCPR), three placement methods (broadcast, banded or mixed into the subsurface layer, 6–8 cm), and six application rates. In this P deficient soil with an acidic subsurface layer, there was relatively little effect of application method of TSP on wheat yield responses. The maximum dry matter yield responses for broadcast, band and mix application methods was 30, 42 and 50 %, respectively. Responses to NCPR broadcast, band and mix methods were 20, 9 and 44 %, respectively. Mixing NCPR into to acidic subsurface layer produced yields similar to those from TSP although a higher application rate of P as NCPR was needed to achieve this outcome. Treatments for Experiments 2 and 3 were time of application of NCPR (0 and 30 days before sowing) and rate of application of NCPR (0 and 40 mg P/pot). In Experiment 2 (same soil as Experiment 1) application of NCPR prior to sowing, resulted in higher Colwell P concentration than when applied at sowing, but time of application had no effect on final DM yields. Experiment 3 used a red podzolic (chromic luvisol) soil which had a lower P-status, was more acid and had a lower exchangeable Ca2+ concentration than the red earth. Application of NCPR prior to sowing resulted in lower DM yield than when it was applied prior to sowing.

    Notes: Abstract The residual effectiveness of copper (Cu) applied 18 to 21 years previously was estimated for grain yield of wheat. In one field experiment, current levels of Cu fertiliser were applied and its effectiveness was compared to that of the same level of Cu applied previously. The effects of nitrogen (N) fertiliser on the Cu concentration in the youngest emerged blade and in the grain, as well as the effects of N levels on the grain yield of wheat, were also studied. Where the recommended level of Cu fertiliser had been applied previously, its residual effectiveness depended on the soil type. On the grey sands over clay and gravelly sands over clay, the residual Cu would last approximately 20 years where wheat is grown in rotation with a legume crop (Lupinus augustifolius L.) and where N fertiliser is applied at high levels (92 kg N ha−1). On the yellow brown sandy earths of the Newdegate district, the residual value was in excess of 30 years. When Cu levels in the soil are marginal, high levels of N applied to wheat crops grown on stubbles of legume crops (high soil N) could suffer from induce Cu deficiency which could reduce grain production. Critical concentrations of Cu in the youngest emerged blade of less than 1.2 mg Cu kg−1 at Gs50–59 would indicate Cu deficiency. Cu concentrations of less than 1.1–1.2 mg Cu kg−1 in the grain suggest that the wheat crop is marginally supplied with Cu. In both situations, Cu fertiliser needs to be applied before the next crop.

    Notes: Abstract A strain ofPenicillium bilaji Chalabuda (PB) has recently been commercially released as a seed inoculant to increase phosphorus (P) uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of drill applied P (15 kg P ha−1) with PB seed inoculation on early growth, development, P uptake, and grain yield of ‘Stoa’ spring wheat at four sites in North Dakota. Fertilization with P consistently enhanced early season growth, main stem development, tillering and P uptake. Seed inoculation with PB had little or no effect on these traits. Phosphorus fertilization tended to increase common root rot severity (CRR, incited byCochliobolus sativus (Ito & Kurib) Drechs.), while PB inoculation had no effect. Grain yields were significantly increased by P fertilization at one location. Inoculation with PB also increased grain yield at this location. The reason why PB inoculation increased yield at this location is not evident, as plant growth and P uptake were not enhanced earlier in the season. Averaged across all four sites, PB inoculation increased wheat yields 66 kg ha−1, which is similar to averaged yield responses reported from the Prairie Provinces of Canada.

    Notes: Summary After a review of the existing state of affairs, an improvement is made in the stability theory for solitary-wave solutions of evolution equations of Korteweg-de Vries-type modelling the propagation of small-amplitude long waves. It is shown that the bulk of the solution emerging from initial data that is a small perturbation of an exact solitary wave travels at a speed close to that of the unperturbed solitary wave. This not unexpected result lends credibility to the presumption that the solution emanating from a perturbed solitary wave consists mainly of a nearby solitary wave. The result makes use of the existing stability theory together with certain small refinements, coupled with a new expression for the speed of propagation of the disturbance. The idea behind our result is also shown to be effective in the context of one-dimensional regularized long-wave equations and multidimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations.

    Notes: Abstract A new kind of diazafluorenone Schiff base amphiphile has been synthesized from 1,10-phenanthroline. The superior self-assembling properties of the amphiphiles are advantageous for forming surface monolayer and bilayer membranes (BLMs). BLMs formed with these amphiphiles possess very good stability and electrochemical oscillations. The possibility is suggested of developing a new type of chemical sensor with the ability to distinguish various metal ions from the patterns of electrochemical oscillations.

    Notes: Abstract Covalent attachment of ubiquitin to other cellular proteins has been implicated in a multitude of diverse physiological processes in eukaryotes including selective protein degradation. This attachment is carried out by a multi-enzyme pathway consisting of three classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes (E1s), ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s), and ubiquitin-protein ligases (E3s). E2s accept activated ubiquitin from E1 and conjugate it to target proteins with or without the participation of specific E3s. Previously, we have isolated wheat cDNAs encoding 16 and 23 kDa E2s, TaUBC1 and TaUBC4, respectively. TaUBC1 shows structural homology to the yeast RAD6 E2 that is essential for DNA repair whereas TaUBC4 is related to the yeast ScUBC8 E2, both of which effectively conjugate ubiquitin to histones in vitro but as yet are without a known in vivo function. Here, we report the isolation of genomic and cDNA homologues of these genes from Arabidopsis thaliana. In Arabidopsis, both of these E2s are encoded by three member gene families. Members of the AtUBC1 gene family, comprising AtUBC1, 2 and 3, encode 150–152 amino acid proteins that are 83–99% identical to each other and TaUBC1 and contain four introns that are conserved with respect to position. Members of the AtUBC4 gene family, comprising AtUBC4, 5 and 6, encode 187–191 amino acid proteins that are 73–88% identical to each other and TaUBC4 and contain five introns that are conserved with respect to position. In contrast, AtUBC1-3 gene products are only 31–36% identical to those derived from AtUBC4-6. mRNA for each family was detected in Arabidopsis roots, leaves, stems, and flowers indicating that members of each family are expressed in most if not all tissues.

    Notes: Abstract The sequence of a trypsin inhibitor, isolated from wheat endosperm, is reported. The primary structure was obtained by automatic sequence analysis of the S-alkylated protein and of purified peptides derived from chemical cleavage by cyanogen bromide and digestion withStaphylococcus aureus V8 protease. This protein, named wheat trypsin inhibitor (WTI), which is comprised of a total of 71 amino acid residues, has 12 cysteines, all involved in disulfide bridges. The primary site of interaction (reactive site) with bovine trypsin has been identified as the dipeptide arginyl-methionyl at positions 19 and 20. WTI has a high degree of sequence identity with a number of serine proteinase inhibitors isolated from both cereal and leguminous plants. On the basis of the findings presented, this protein has been classified as a single-headed trypsin inhibitor of Bowman-Birk type.

    Notes: Abstract Mitochondria derived from Triticum timopheevi have a chimeric gene, orf256, immediately upstream from coxI. Antibodies to a peptide corresponding to a part of the encoded amino acid sequence of orf256 detect a 7 kDa protein on western blots of mitochondrial proteins from cytoplasmic male-sterile (cms) wheat (T. aestivum nucleus, T. timopheevi mitochondria) but not in mitochondrial proteins from T. aestivum, T. timopheevi, or cms plants restored to fertility by introduction of nuclear genes for fertility restoration. The 7 kDa protein appears to serve as a marker for cms wheat. Its occurrence as an integral protein of the inner membrane may indicate a cms effect through an influence on mitochondrial membrane function.

    Notes: Abstract Amino acid sequences for three members (CMx1, CMx2, and CMx3) of a new subfamily of trypsin/α-amylase inhibitors in wheat have been deduced from the nucleotide sequences of the corresponding cDNAs. A cDNA clone encoding CMx1 was selected from a wheat developing endosperm library using a probe that encoded barley trypsin inhibitor BTI-CMe at low stringency. Sequences corresponding to CMx2 and CMx3 were obtained from cDNA amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. The three CMx sequences contain a premature stop codon after 363 nt, as well as a second stop codon at the same position as in BTI-CMe (nt 439–441). Southern analysis of DNAs from diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid wheats, as well as from aneuploid lines, indicate that there is a single CMx locus in each of the three genomes of hexaploid wheat, respectively associated with chromosomal arms 4AS, 4BS, and 4DL. These genes are expressed early during endosperm development and not expressed at detectable levels in other tissues. Evolutionary implications are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The S10 ribosomal protein gene (rps10), which has not been previously reported in any angiosperm mitochondrial genome, was identified by sequence analysis in the potato mitochondrial DNA. This gene is found downstream of a truncated non-functional apocytochrome b (cob) pseudogene, and is expressed as multiple transcripts ranging in size from 0.8 to 5.0 kb. Southern hybridization analysis indicates that rps10-homologous sequences are not present in the wheat mitochondrial genome. Sequence analysis of a single-copy region of the pea mitochondrial genome located upstream of cox1 [11] shows that a non-functional rps10 pseudogene is present in this species. These results suggest that the functional genes coding for wheat and pea mitochondrial RPS10 polypeptides have been translocated to the nucleus.

    Notes: Abstract From a mid-maturation seed cDNA library we have isolated cDNA clones encoding two Triticum aestivum puroindolines. Puroindoline-a and puroindoline-b, which are 55% similar, are basic, cystine-rich and tryptophan-rich proteins. Puroindolines are synthezised as preproproteins which include N- and C-terminal propeptides which could be involved in their vacuolar localization. The mature proteins have a molecular mass of 13 kDa and a calculated isoelectric point greater than 10. A notable feature of the primary structure of puroindolines is the presence of a tryptophan-rich domain which also contains basic residues. A similar tryptophan-rich domain was found within an oat seed protein and a mammalian antimicrobial peptide. The ten cysteine residues of puroindolines are organized in a cysteine skeleton which shows similarity to the cysteine skeleton of other wheat seed cystine-rich proteins. Northern blot analysis showed that puroindoline genes are specifically expressed in T. aestivum developing seeds. No puroindoline transcripts as well as no related genes were detected in Triticum durum. The identity of puroindolines to wheat starch-granule associated proteins is discussed as well as the potential role of puroindolines in the plant defence mechanism.

    Notes: Abstract The zinc-binding long-chain alcohol dehydrogenases from plants and animals exhibit a considerable level of amino acid sequence conservation. While the functional importance of many of the conserved residues is known, the role of others has not yet been determined. We have identified a naturally occurring Adh-1 allele in the legume Phaseolus acutifolius with several unusual characteristics. Individuals homozygous for this allele, Adh-1CN, possess a single isozyme starch gel electrophoretic pattern suggestive of a null allele, and exhibit ADH enzyme activity levels ca. 60% lower than the standard wild-type Adh-1F line. Interestingly, analysis of Adh-1CN homozygotes on an alternative gel system indicates that Adh-1CN does encode a polypeptide capable of forming functional homo- and heterodimers. However, the levels of ADH activity displayed by these isozymes are far lower than those observed for the corresponding wild type ADH-1F isozymes. Dialysis experiments indicate that isozymes containing the ADH-1CN polypeptide are inactivated by slightly acidic conditions, which may explain the apparent null phenotype on starch gels. Elevated temperatures cause a similar loss of enzyme activity. The deduced amino acid sequences of ADH-1CN and ADH-1F were obtained from their corresponding cDNA clones, and the only significant difference detected between the two is a single amino acid replacement substitution. Residue 144 is occupied by phenylalanine in the ADH-1F polypeptide, whereas serine occupies this position in the ADH-1CN polypeptide. The proximity of residue 144 to the catalytic zinc in the substrate-binding pocket, coupled with the fact that it is integral to a defined hydrophobic core of the ADH polypeptide, may explain the observed disruptive effect that the serine substitution has on both the activity and stability of the ADH-1CN polypeptide. It also provides an explanation for the maintenance of phenylalanine or the structurally similar tyrosine at this residue in Zn-binding long-chain ADHs.

    Notes: Abstract The deterministic dynamics of the classical single-locus multiple-allele model of gametophytic incompatibility is analyzed with the intention to prove the conjecture that the symmetric state (uniform distribution of genotypes) is the only polymorphic equilibrium and that this equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable in the interior of the frequency simplex. It is shown that the minimum allelic frequency increases strictly over the generations as long as a uniform allelic distribution is not realized. Hence, the minimum allelic frequency is a Ljapunov function for the invariant set of genotypic frequencies characterized by a uniform allelic distribution. Within this set, the uniform genotypic distribution is approached in an exponential fashion, which proves the assertion. An evolutionary optimization rule associated with the global convergence to the symmetric state is implied by the fact that at this state the overall amount of pollen elimination resulting from incompatible crosses is minimized.

    Notes: Abstract Steric structures of dysprosium(III) aminobenzoate complexes with the 1∶1 and 1∶2 molar ratio in aqueous solutions were determined on the basis of pH-metric and paramagnetic birefringence data. An increase in conjugation observed for the series of the acids,viz., benzoic,meta-, ortho-, andpara-aminobenzoic acids, results in the increased stability of the complexes with the 1∶1 and 1∶2 composition. In the case ofpara-aminobenzoic acid, the polyhedra [DyL(H2O)6]2+ and [DyL2(H2O)4]+ are cubes with the ligands coordinated to one and two edges, respectively. In the case ofmeta-aminobenzoic acid, the polyhedra [DyL(H2O)6]2+ and [DyL2(H2O)4]+ are a dodecahedron with the ligand coordinated to one edge and a square anti-prism with the ligands coordinated to two edges, respectively. In the case ofortho-aminobenzoic acid, both the 1∶1 and 1∶2 complexes have structures that are intermediate between the structures ofmeta- andpara-aminobenzoic acids.

    Notes: Abstract The post yield behavior of rigid-perfectly plastic solids at the collapse load is studied based on the finite deformation theory. By using the general duality theory developed by Gao-Strang (1989), a global stability criteria is proposed and a pair of dual extremum principles, expressed in terms of displacements, displacement rates and the Kirchhoff stresses are established for plastic collapse analysis. It is proved that under large deformations, the existence of the plastic limit state at the collapse load depends on the directional derivative of a so-called complementary gap function. The application to the nonlinear plastic collapse theory yields a pair of dual bounding theorems for limit loading factor associated with any transient displacement of the deformed body when the global extremum criteria are satisfied.

    Notes: Abstract We describe an automatic cubature algorithm for functions that have a singularity on the surface of the integration region. The algorithm combines an adaptive subdivision strategy with extrapolation. The extrapolation uses a non-uniform subdivision that can be directly incorporated into the subdivision strategy used for the adaptive algorithm. The algorithm is designed to integrate a vector function over ann-dimensional rectangular region and a FORTRAN implementation is included.

    Notes: Summary The aim of this study was to design a parenteral dosage form for the investigational cytotoxic drag carzelesin. A stable formulation in PET (Polyethylene glycol 400/absolute ethanol/Tween 80, 6:3:1, v/v/v) was developed. The prototype, containing 0.50 mg carzelesin in 2.0 ml PET formulation, was found to be the optimal formulation in terms of solubility, stability and dosage requirements in phase I clinical trials. Quality control of the formulation showed that the pharmaceutical preparation of carzelesin in PET is not negatively influenced by the manufacturing process. Shelf life studies demonstrated that the formulation is stable for at least 1 year, when stored at −30°C in the dark. In addition, the stability of carzelesin in the PET formulation is discussed as a function of temperature, additives and after dilution in infusion fluids.

    Notes: Abstract Chimeric L6 is a mouse–human monoclonal antibody specific for tumor cell-associated antigens. The factors affecting the physical and chemical stability of chimeric L6 were assessed at elevated temperatures (30–60°C) and by multiple freezing and thawing. Three routes of degradation were observed: chemical degradation to smaller molecular weight species, irreversible aggregation, and formation of a reversible dimer. The specific pathway depended on the stress condition applied and the pH, with maximal overall stability to both thermal stress and multiple freezing/thawing observed at about pH 5.5. Other factors including antibody concentration, buffer concentration, NaCl concentration, and agitation had minimal influence on the stability. Commonly used sugars, polyhydric alcohols, and amino acids effectively prevented freeze/thaw-induced aggregation.

    Notes: Abstract Leucine enkephalin (YGGFL) undergoes rapid degradation in sheep nasal mucosa to yield GGFL which is further degraded to FL. The activity of the nasal mucosal homogenate against YGGFL and GGFL (t1/212 and 7 min) was significantly greater than that observed with a nasal wash fluid (t1/2 40 and 13 min). The effect of cyclodextrins on the rate of degradation of FGG and YGGFL by leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) and of GGF by carboxypeptidase A (CPA) was monitored. Little effect was observed with FGG (with LAP) but the half-life of YGGFL (with LAP) was extended from ~44 min to ~75 min in the presence of a 25-fold excess of β-cyclodextrin. The stability of GGF (with CPA) was also enhanced; an effect was observable with a 5-fold excess of cyclodextrin and the half-life could be extended by 40–75%. An equation is presented which allows the estimation of the concentration of free peptide in the peptide-cyclodextrin solutions.

    Notes: Abstract Taxol is a promising antitumor agent with poor water solubility. Intravenous administration of a current taxol formulation in a non-aqueous vehicle containing Cremophor EL may cause allergic reactions and precipitation upon aqueous dilution. In this study a novel approach to formulate taxol in aqueous medium for i.v. delivery is described. The drug is solubilized in bile salt (BS)/phospholipid (PC) mixed micelles. The solubilization potential of the mixed micelles increased as the total lipid concentration and the molar ratio of PC/BS increased. Precipitation of the drug upon dilution was avoided by the spontaneous formation of drug-loaded liposomes from mixed micelles. The formulation can be stored in a freeze-dried form as mixed micelles to achieve optimum stability, and liposomes can be prepared by simple dilution just before administration. As judged by a panel of cultured cell lines, the cytotoxic activity of taxol was retained when formulated as a mixed-micellar solution. Further, for the same solubilization potential, the mixed-micellar vehicle appeared to be less toxic than the standard nonaqueous vehicle of taxol containing Cremorphor EL.

    Notes: Abstract Various modifications of the tissue-blot immunoassay (TBIA) for the detection of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV, luteovirus) were compared. Similar results were obtained by using three different labelled molecules; goat anti-rabbit antibodies conjugated to alkaline phosphatase, protein A conjugated with alkaline phosphatase and goat anti-rabbit antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold. Blocking the nitrocellulose membrane with polyvinyl alcohol for 1 min was effective and allowed the procedure to be shortened by one hour. TBIA was sensitive enough to detect BYDV in old dry tissue wich had been soaked in water for 1 h. BYDV was monitored by TBIA in wheat, oat and barley after inoculation at heading, flowering and grain filling growth stages. The later the inoculation date, the greater the chance of detecting the virus in stem bases rather than in the upper part of the stem. The later the inoculation the less virus moved, from the inoculated tiller to other tillers of the same plant.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary This article investigates the mean abundances of trophic levels in simple models of two- and three-level food chains as a function of the rate of input of nutrients. The analysis concentrates on cases in which the equilibrium point with all species present is unstable. In most of the models, the instability arises because the consumer species become satiated when food density is high. In unstable two-level systems, bottom level abundance generally increases with increased nutrient input. The abundance of the second level may decrease with increased input. Changes in the intrinsic rate of increase and carrying capacity of the bottom level can have qualitatively opposite effects on trophic level abundances. Refuges for or immigration of the bottom level usually cause both levels to increase in mean abundance with an increased carrying capacity. A variety of different predator—prey models are discussed briefly and the results suggest that increased nutrient input will often increase the abundance of both levels; however, several circumstances can cause the top level to decrease. In three-level systems, an increased carrying capacity can cause extinction of the top level. Extinction may or may not be conditional on the initial densities of the three levels. These results may help explain the observed lack of correlation between productivity and the number of trophic levels in natural food webs, as well as the lack of very long food chains. The results suggest that patterns of abundances across productivity gradients cannot be used to assess the importance of top-down vs bottom-up effects.

    Notes: Abstract W/O gel-emulsions (high-internal-phase-volume-ratio emulsions) form in water (or brine) /tetraethyleneglycol dodecyl ether/heptane system above the HLB (hydrophile-lipophile balance) temperature of the system. A salt, which largely decreases cloud temperature in a water-nonionic surfactant system, makes the surfactant film rigid and the gel-emulsions hence become very stable. The effect of aded salt on the apparent order parameter “S”, and the isotropic hyperfine splitting constant “a N” in gel-emulsions was determined by the ESR spin probe method using 5-doxyl stearic acid as the spin probe. The apparent order parameter “S”, and the isotropic hyperfine splitting constant “a N” increase with increasing salinity in Na2SO4, CaCl2, and NaCl systems. It is considered that the surfactant molecules are tightly packed in these systems and this tendency is highly related to the stability of gel-emulsions. The salt dehydrates the hydrophilic moiety of surfactant and hence the lateral interactions of surfactant molecular layer at the water-oil interface increases. The observed difference in the apparent order parameter between the ordinary emulsions and the gel-emulsions suggests that most of the surfactant molecules are adsorbed at the oil-water interface (the surface of the water droplet) in gel-emulsions.

    Notes: Abstract The stability of thermoreversible microgel particles of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) having carboxylate surface charge groups has been studied in the presence of electrolyte and non-adsorbing polymer. Methylation of the surface charge groups leads to a decrease in the electrophoretic mobility of the particles and also the interparticle electrostatic repulsive potential, resulting in the material becoming more susceptible to flocculation. The Hamaker constant of the microgel particles increases with the decrease in the hydrodynamic size of the particles following heating. This brings about an increase in the van der Waals attractive energy which results in the particles aggregating in the presence of sufficient electrolyte. Under conditions of flow through membranes, where shearing forces are operative, the flocculation observed following the heating of the dispersions results in the blockage of pores.

    Notes: Abstract Ten soils collected from the major arable areas in Britain were used to assess the availability of soil sulphur (S) to spring wheat in a pot experiment. Soils were extracted with various reagents and the extractable inorganic SO4-S and total soluble S(SO4-S plus a fraction of organic S) were determined using ion chromatography (IC) or inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), respectively. Water, 0.016 M KH2PO4, 0.01 M CaCl2 and 0.01 M Ca(H2PO4)2 extracted similar amounts of SO4-S, as measured by IC, which were consistently smaller than the total extractable S as measured by ICP-AES. The amounts of organic S extracted varied widely between different extractants, with 0.5 M NaHCO3 (pH 8.5) giving the largest amounts and 0.01 M CaCl2 the least. Organic S accounted for approximately 30–60% of total S extracted with 0.016 M KH2PO4 and the organic C:S ratios in this extract varied typically between 50 and 70. The concentrations of this S fraction decreased in all soils without added S after two months growth of spring wheat, indicating a release of organic S through mineralisation. All methods tested except 0.5 M NaHCO3-ICP-AES produced satisfactory results in the regression with plant dry matter response and S uptake in the pot experiment. In general, 0.016 M KH2PO4 appeared to be the best extractant and this extraction followed by ICP-AES determination was considered to be a good method to standardise on.

    Notes: Abstract The presence of root tissue of the brassicas canola and Indian mustard inhibited growth of pure cultures of the fungal pathogen which causes take-all of wheat [Gaeumannomyces graminis (Sacc.) Arx and Oliver var.tritici, abbreviated as Ggt]. Ggt growth was generally inhibited more in the presence of Indian mustard roots than canola roots. Dried irradiated roots were consistently effective in reducing Ggt growth, but growth inhibition by young live roots and macerated roots was not consistent. The inhibitory compound(s) were shown to be volatile because the symmetry of Ggt growth was not affected by the proximity of theBrassica tissue. Volatile breakdown products from maceratedBrassica roots were identified using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. The major compounds found were isothiocyanates (ITCs). Canola roots released mostly methyl ITC and Indian mustard roots released mostly phenylethyl ITC. Low concentrations of these and related compounds inhibited growth of Ggt in pure culture when supplied as the vapour of pure chemicals in concentrations within the range expected during breakdown ofBrassica roots in soil.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of plant-root N-status on bacterial growth in the rhizosphere was studied with 5-week-old wheat plants grown in soil with low N content obtained by mixing 9:1 gravel:sandy loam. As a consequence of N limitation, significant increase in3Hthymidine (Tdr) incorporation rate occured 3 days after addition of 30 mM ammonium compared to controls without ammonium. Plants were grown with split-roots to separate the effect of soil N from effect of plant root derived organic matter-N on bacterial activity. The increase in nitrate concentration from 10 mM to 30 mM at one part of the root system led to significant increased3HT dr incorporation in the rhizosphere at the other part of root system after 4 days showing that the composition of root exudates became more favourable for bacterial growth when plants were fertilized with the higher level of nitrate.

    Notes: Abstract Plants of two bread wheat cultivars,Triticum aestivum L. ‘Katya Al’ and ‘Mexipak 65’, were grown in pots during the crop season in the field in NW Syria, a region with a Mediterranean climate. The experiment involved two treatments. Control plants were well-watered throughout the experiment (watering to 0.22 g water g−1 dry soil). In the second treatment, water was withheld from the plants until soil water content had decreased to 0.10 g water g−1 dry soil, the level that was maintained thereafter. Water use was measured by weighing the pots, and growth by destructive sampling. Growth of Katya and Mexipak was similar. Mexipak had a lower (though not significant atp〈0.05) plant water use efficiency (WUEp) in both treatments due to higher rates of water loss. On a leaf area basis differences in water use were especially high since Mexipak had a smaller total leaf area. In spite of a smaller investment in photosynthesizing area, Mexipak achieved similar growth as Katya. Carbon isotope discrimination and organic nitrogen concentration (both higher for Mexipak) suggest that Mexipak accomplished higher mean net photosynthetic rates with a higher mean leaf diffusive conductance, higher intercellular carbon dioxide partial pressure, and possibly a greater investment in the photosynthetic apparatus compared to Katya. Differences in carbon isotope discrimination suggest a larger difference in average photosynthetic WUE (net photosynthesis/transpiration) than in plant WUE. This could indicate that loss of carbon in respiration was greater in Katya. Gas exchange measurements on the youngest fully expanded leaves showed only minor differences between the cultivars. It is hypothesized that Mexipak, with a smaller total leaf area, is able to maintain high leaf conductance and photosynthesis for a longer period of time during the day or during the life span of leaves.

    Notes: Abstract Nodular outgrowths (para-nodules or p-nodules) on the roots of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Miskle seedlings were induced by treatment with 0.3 and 0.6mg L−1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D). When co-inoculated with Rhizobium trifolii strain ATCC 14480, more p-nodules were formed at these levels and p-nodulation occured at 0.1 mg L−1 indicating that inoculation enhances 2,4-D-induced p-nodulation. Similar to lateral roots, the p-nodules arose from the pericycle opposite the phloem tissues and were free from the cortical cells of the parental root at all stages of development. Structurally, the p-nodules exhibited tissue differentiation. They possessed a highly organized central vascular cylinder connected to that of the parent root, an endodermis, a cap, and an apical and lateral meristems. P-nodules formed by 2,4-D treatment alone were irregularly lobed due to uncoordinated activity of the apical meristem, while those in the combined 2,4-D and inoculation treatment were more globose. The results of the present study indicate that the 2,4-D-induced wheat p-nodules are modified lateral roots, the structure of which is enhanced by rhizobial inoculation.

    Notes: Abstract The pattern of proliferation and growth of cortical and central metaxylem cells in a radicle and the transitional zone of a wheat embryo was studied during the final stages of embryogenesis. Cell divisions finished nearer the root tip in the central metaxylem than was the case in the cortex. After divisions ceased the cells of both tissues maintained the ability to synthesize DNA and the cells began DNA endoreduplication. The maximal levels of endoreduplication were 4C and 8C in cortical and central metaxylem cells, respectively. As a result of nonsimultaneous cessation of divisions, the metaxylem cells were two or three times longer than cortical cells. The proportion of cells with the maximal DNA content was smaller in the transitional zone than in the radicle. During the final embryonal stages cell growth rate was decreased. It was established that the transition of cells to DNA synthesis was inhibited in all sites of the radicle during the completion of embryogenesis. The cell growth was topped in proximal sites of the radicle. In the division zone the cells which had already begun DNA synthesis were able to complete it and divided. Cell growth stopped simultaneously with completion of proliferation in this zone.

    Notes: Summary Grain filling rate in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Thell.) positively influences grain yield under a wide range of conditions. The effective utilization of this trait in breeding depends on an understanding of its genetic control. A study was, therefore, conducted to determine the genetic basis of grain filling rate in six crosses of wheat. Higher order genic interactions and/or linkage were important in the genetic regulation of grain filling rate (GFR) in the majority of crosses. Additive ([d]) and dominance ([h]) gene effects were important in the control of GFR in main ears (ME) and whole plant ears (WPE). Additive and additive × additive epistatic effects were the most important in the genetic control of GFR in last ears (LE). Location effects on genetic effects for GFR were significant (P 〈 0.05) in all ear types of some crosses except in ME. Genotype × environment interaction effects were important (P 〈 0.001) in LE and WPE. It was concluded that the inheritance of GFR is complex and is dependent on ear type. Breeding procedures that facilitate the exploitation of non-additive and additive gene effects were recommended for the genetic improvement of grain filling rate of wheat.

    Notes: Summary With the objective of creating new combinations of disease resistance and quality, hybrids between wheat and spelt (spelt is well adapted to cool and wet conditions) were produced and the expression of heterosis was analysed. Three winter wheat varieties were crossed reciprocally with two spelt cultivars and the F1 hybrids were tested under artificial inoculation with stripe rust, powdery mildew and leaf rust. Disease susceptibility and quality characters (protein content, Zeleny value, grain hardness) were assessed in two year field trials. For stripe rust the F1 hybrids were resistant if one of the wheat parents was resistant. Combinations with the susceptible wheat cultivar ‘Arina’ were all susceptible irrespective of using a resistant spelt partner. Although the infection with powdery mildew was rather low, a similar reaction was obtained with the susceptible wheat variety ‘Bernina’. Leaf rust revealed very specific varietal influences. The two susceptible wheat varieties ‘Bernina’ and ‘Arina’ resulted in susceptible F1 hybrids when combined with a moderately resistant spelt. Only when they were crossed with a resistant spelt cultivar the F1 hybrids were resistant. ‘Forno’, a leaf rust resistant wheat, gave resistant F1 hybrids in all combinations. Without exception the quality characters tested showed a negative heterosis effect resulting in protein levels and Zeleny values close to or below the values of the lower parent. It appears to be possible to produce resistant F1 hybrids, mostly dominated by the resistance level of the wheat partner. The quality of the hybrids is mainly suitable for biscuit and spelt specific products; it needs specific screening for combinations with acceptable breadmaking quality.

    Notes: Abstract The objective of this study was to determine whether a series of Kenyan bread wheat cultivars differed in tolerance to aluminum toxicity. Fourteen Kenyan wheat cultivars representing current and former widely grown cultivars of diverse pedigree origin, and two control cultivars, Maringa (Al-tolerant) and Siete Cerros (Al-susceptible), were tested in solution cultures with 0 (control), 148, 593, and 2370 μM Al at pH 4.6. Highly significant (p≤0.01) differences in seedling growth were observed among cultivars for root mass, root length and root tolerance index (RTI). Significant (p≤0.05) cultivar × treatment interactions were observed for root mass and RTI. All characters were negatively affected by increased Al concentration, with root length and root mass being affected the most. RTI is a commonly used index which measures the relative performance of individual cultivars with and without aluminum stress. High levels of tolerance to Al were identified in the Kenyan cultivars by evaluating RTI with this simple nutrient solution technique. Romany and Kenya Nyumbu had RTI values approaching those of the Al tolerant Brazilian cultivar Maringa, a spring wheat standard that has been used for high Al tolerance.

    Notes: Abstract A model rhizodeposition technique to estimate the root and microbial components of 14C soil/root respiration in pulse-labelling experiments is described. The method involves the injection of model rhizodeposits, consisting of 14C-labelled glucose, root extract or root cell wall material, into the rooted soil of an unlabelled plant, simultaneously with the pulse-labelling of a separate but similar plant with 14CO2. In a growth chamber experiment with 30 day old wheat and barley the contribution of direct root respiration to 14C soil/root respiration over a 26 day period after labelling was estimated 89–95%. Estimates of direct root respiration in field-grown wheat and barley at different development stages in most cases accounted for at least 75% of 14C soil/root respiration over a 21 day period after labelling. The mineralization rate of injected 14C-glucose was positively correlated with the concentration of glucose-C established in soil. The use of the method in rhizosphere carbon budget estimations is evaluated.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of sodium chloride salinity and hypoxia were studied in eight wheat lines and three wheat-Thinopyrum amphiploids in vermiculite-gravel culture. The lines were treated with either 100 or 150 mol m−3 NaCl with and without hypoxia. Saline hypoxic conditions significantly reduced the vegetative growth, water use, grain and straw yields for all wheat varieties except the amphiploids, whereas NaCl or hypoxia alone had less pronounced effects. In addition, saline hypoxic stress reduced K+ concentration and increased significantly the Na+ and Cl− concentrations in cell sap expressed from leaves. There was more Na+ and Cl− accumulation in wheats than the amphiploids in hypoxic conditions at 150 mol m−3 NaCl. Of the wheats, Pato was the most sensitive at all stress levels while aTriticum aestivum cv. Chinese Spring ×Thinopyrum elongatum amphiploid was the most tolerant of the three amphiploids.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of growth period (time between transplanting and harvesting), plant age at which aluminium (Al) was added to solution, changes in Al concentration, and solution culture techniques (monitoring and adjusting solution Al concentrations thrice weekly or weekly replacement of the solutions) were investigated using a low ionic strength (2.7×10−3 M) solution culture technique. The wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars Waalt (Al-tolerant) and Warigal (Al-sensitive), or the near isogenic lines bred from these cultivars (RR for the Al-tolerant line and SS for the Al-sensitive line) were grown. In all experiments and treatments, Al additions were required to maintain the nominal concentration. The decline in solution Al concentrations was partially attributed to formation of an Al-hydroxy-phosphate precipitate with an Al:P molar ratio of 2.8 to 4.0. Increasing the growth period from 14 to 28 days increased Al sensitivity in Warigal but not in Waalt. When plants were exposed to Al for the same time, increasing the age of the plants that Al was added to solution decreased sensitivity to Al. Differential Al tolerance between the two lines was evident when solutions were monitored thrice weekly or replaced weekly. However, the Al concentration required to reduce relative yield by a given amount when the solutions were replaced weekly was about twice that when the solutions were monitored. With a constant growth period of 28 days, increasing solution Al concentrations for 3 or more days resulted in decreased yields at harvest. The exact effect depended on the cultivar, plant part (tops or roots), when solution Al concentrations were increased and the duration of the increase. For example, increasing Al concentrations from 5 μM to 20 μM for 10 days reduced yield in the RR line by approximately 50% in the tops and 30% in the roots beyond the effect of 5 M but had no effect in the SS line due to yields already being low at 5 μM. Adding 10 μM Al to solution for 6 days at the beginning of the experiment reduced yield by 25% in the RR line and 50% in the SS line. In contrast, adding 10 μM Al for 6 days in the middle of the growth cycle had no effect on the RR line but reduced yield by approximately 25% in the SS line. These results show that growth period, the age of the plants at which Al is added and the technique used (monitored or weekly replacement) all need to be considered when comparing results from different experiments. These results also show that the Al concentrations in solution need to be regularly monitored in long term experiments.

    Notes: Abstract Batch studies were conducted with Mn oxides (birnessite-hausmannite mixture, BHM) and samples of four soil series from the Mid-Atlantic region of the USA to determine effects of reducing organic acids, similar to those found in the rhizosphere, on the SeO3/SeO4 distribution. Jackland (Typic Hapludalf), Myersville (Ultic Hapludalf), Christiana (Aeric Paleaquult), and Evesboro (Typic Quartizipsamment) A and B horizon soil samples with and without prior Mn oxide reduction were incubated aerobically for 10 d with 0.1 mmol kg-1 SeO3 and 0 or 25 mmol kg-1 of ascorbic acid, gallic acid, oxalic acid, or citric acid. Selenite was also added to BHM (10 mmol kg-1) with 0 or 0.1 mmol kg-1 ascorbic acid. The availability of Se for plant uptake as a result of root-soil interactions was examined using growth chamber studies with barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings grown in 150-mL cone-shaped containers to maximize root-soil surface interactions and to create ‘rhizosphere’ soil throughout the root zone. In the BHM system ascorbic acid increased oxidation of SeO3 to SeO4 to 33% of added SeO3. In the presence of ascorbic and gallic acids and Mn oxides, oxidation of SeO3 to SeO4 occurred in the B horizons of all the soils and in the A horizons of Jackland and Myersville soils. Removal of Mn oxides decreased the oxidation in some samples. Wheat and barley plants were able to accumulate up to 20 μmol Se kg-1 from the Jackland soil when soluble Se was not measurable. The root-soil interactions in the Jackland soil with barley and wheat provided the plant with Se from insoluble sources. The results also indicate that Mn oxides coming in contact with reducing root exudates have a greater ability to oxidize SeO3 to SeO4. Thus, rhizosphere processes play an important role in the availability of Se for plant uptake.

    Notes: Abstract Levels of colonisation by vesicular-arbuscular (VA)-mycorrhizal fungi were compared between adjacent farms, one operated in a conventional manner and the other run according to organic farming principles. Wheat grown on the organic farm was found to have VA-mycorrhizal colonisation levels consistently 2 to 3 times higher than wheat on the conventional farm. Glasshouse and field trials indicated that the lower colonisation levels on the conventional farm were due to continual use of fertiliser containing soluble phosphorus (P). The fertiliser appeared to have an immediate negative effect on the rate of colonisation, and also appeared to have a long term negative effect through maintaining higher levels of soluble P in the soil, and by decreasing inoculum levels. Use of the relatively insoluble reactive rock phosphate fertiliser on the organic farm did not decrease levels of VA-mycorrhizas. Colonisation levels did not vary between wheat varieties, and herbicides and seed dressings were also not found to be having any significant effect on levels of colonisation.

    Notes: Abstract Aluminum (Al)-induced damage to leaves and roots of two Al-resistant (cv. Atlas 66, experimental line PT741) and two Al-sensitive (cv. Scout 66, cv. Katepwa) lines ofTriticum aestivum L. was estimated using the deposition of (1, 3)-β-glucans (callose) as a marker for injury. Two-day-old seedlings were grown for forty hours in nutrient solutions with or without added Al, and callose deposition was quantified by spectrofluorometry (0–1000 µM Al) and localized by fluorescence microscopy (0 and 400 µM Al). Results suggested that Al caused little damage to leaves. No callose was observed in leaves with up to 400 µM Al treatment. In contrast, root callose concentration increased with Al treatment, especially in the Al-sensitive lines. At 400 µM Al, root callose concentration of Al-sensitive Scout 66 was nearly four-fold that of Al-resistant Atlas 66. After Al treatment, large callose deposits were observed in the root cap, epidermis and outer cortex of root tips of Scout 66, but not Atlas 66. The identity of callose was confirmed by a reduced fluorescence in Al-treated roots: firstly, after adding an inhibitor of callose synthesis (2-deoxy-D-glucose) to the nutrient solution, and secondly, after incubating root sections with the callosedegrading enzyme β-D-glucoside glucohydrolase [EC 3.2.1.21]. Root callose deposition may be a good marker for Al-induced injury due to its early detection by spectrofluorometry and its close association with stress perception.

    Notes: Abstract Recent work on root distribution, growth angles and gravitropic responses in Japanese cultivars of winter wheat are reviewed. Vertical distribution of roots, which influences the environmental stress tolerance of plants, was observed in the 12 Japanese cultivars in the field. The root depth index (RDI: the depth at which 50% of the root length has been reached) differed among the cultivars at the stem elongation stage. Since the RDI was closely related to the growth angle of seminal roots obtained in a pot experiment, it was assumed that growth angle is useful for predicting vertical root distribution among wheat genotypes. Gravitropic responses of the primary seminal root of 133 Japanese wheat cultivars assessed by measuring the growth angle in agar medium, were larger in the northern Japanese cultivars and smaller in the southern ones. It was also found that the geographical variation resulted from the wheat breeding process, i.e. genotypes with limited gravitropic responses of roots had been selected in the southern part of Japan where excessive soil moisture is one of the most serious problems.

    Notes: Abstract In crop carbon budget studies losses of root material during storage and washing of samples may cause considerable errors. To correct data from field experiments where rhizosphere C fluxes in wheat and barley were determined by14C pulse-labelling at different development stages, experiments were performed to quantify losses of14C from roots during washing. Losses of14C from wheat roots grown on nutrient solution and stored in different ways, decreased from on average 45% of total14C content 8 days after labelling to 27% after 21 days. This decrease was probably related to the incorporation of14C into structural compounds. During washing of oven-dried soil cores of held-grown wheat and barley 3 weeks after labelling, different size classes of losses of14C from the roots increased substantially with the development stage of the crop at labelling. The 0.3–0.6 mm size class increased from 5% of the14C in roots 〉 0.3 mm in young plants to 25% at ripening, and the 〈 0.3 mm size class increased from 8 to 41% of total14C content. The latter size class was, however, determined by washing handpicked roots and may therefore partly consist of adhering exudates, mucilages and microorganisms. The effect of development stage on root washing losses was attributed to root senescence which increases the fragility of roots. Thus, especially at the rate development stages root washing losses caused a severe underestimation of the root14C content. However, with these results the14C distribution patterns of the field experiments could be adequately corrected.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of aluminium (Al) ions on the metabolism of root apical meristems were examined in 4-day-old seedlings of two cereals which differed in their tolerance to Al: wheat cv. Grana (Al-sensitive) and rye cv. Dańkowskie Nowe (Al tolerant). During a 24 h incubation period in nutrient solutions containing 0.15 mM and 1.0 mM of Al for wheat and rye, respectively, the activity of first two enzymes in the pentose phosphate pathway (G-6-PDH and 6-PGDH) decreased in the sensitive cultivar. In the tolerant cultivar activities of these enzymes increased initially, then decreased slightly, and were at control levels after 24 h. In the Al-sensitive wheat cultivar a 50% reduction in the activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase was observed in the presence of Al. Changes in enzyme activity were accompanied by changes in levels of G-6-P- the initial substrate in the pentose phosphate pathway. When wheat was exposed for 16 h to a nutrient solution containing aluminium, a 90% reduction in G-6-P concentration was observed. In the Al-tolerant rye cultivar, an increase and subsequently a slight decrease in G-6-P concentration was detected, and after 16 h of Al-stress the concentration of this substrate was still higher than in control plants. This dramatic Al-induced decrease in G-6-P concentration in the Al-sensitive wheat cultivar was associated with a decrease in both the concentration of glucose in the root tips as well as the activity of hexokinase, an enzyme which is responsible for phosphorylation of glucose to G-6-P. However, in the Al-tolerant rye cultivar, the activity of this enzyme remained at the level of control plants during Al-treatment, and the decrease in the concentration of glucose occurred at a much slower rate than in wheat. These results suggest that aluminium ions change cellular metabolism of both wheat and rye root tips. In the Al-sensitive wheat cultivar, irreversible disturbances induced by low doses of Al in the nutrient solution appear very quickly, whereas in the Al-tolerant rye cultivar, cellular metabolism, even under severe stress conditions, is maintained for a long time at a level which allows for root elongation to continue.

    Notes: Summary Giemsa C-banding allows for the identification of all 21 chromosome pairs of hexaploid wheat. However, variation in banding patterns of individual chromosomes and structural rearrangements exist between different cultivars making chromosome identification more difficult. The paper summarizes the available data on C-band polymorphism and structural rearrangement present in wheat cultivars and germplasms.

    Notes: Summary The effect of temperature on seed set and embryo development in reciprocal crosses of barley and wheat was assessed in crosses involving two spring barley varieties (Betzes, Martonvásári 50) and one wheat variety (Chinese Spring). Detached tillers placed in nutrient solution were pollinated in controlled environments at constant day-night temperature regimes (12, 15, 18 and 21° C) with a light intensity of 30,000 lux and a relative humidity of 80%. When barley was used as the female, lower temperatures (12 and 15° C) produced the maximum seed set, whereas for the reciprocal cross, the highest temperature (21° C) produced the best seed set in the Chinese Spring × Betzes combination. Low temperature retarded the embryo development. The highest numbers of hybrid plants were produced at 18° C and 21° C in the barley × wheat cross and in the wheat × barley cross, respectively. Embryos of about 1.5 mm length in the barley × wheat cross, and of about 1.0 mm length in the wheat × barley cross germinated successfully. The smallest embryo giving rise to hybrid plants was 0.57 mm in the barley × wheat cross and 0.51 mm in the wheat × barley cross.

    Notes: Summary Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) is recognised as a major pathological constraint to cereal production in northern China and several widespread epidemics have been reported. The host range of BYDV includes not only cereals but many grasses. The indigenous Triticeae of northern China have likely been exposed to significant disease pressure from BYDV and therefore may be a potential source of BYDV resistance for cereal improvement. A wide range of Triticeae accessions collected over three expeditions in northern China were evaluated for resistance to BYDV. Seedlings were artificially inoculated and virus levels then assayed by ELISA. Resistance and immunity to BYDV were found to be widely distributed among the seven genera of Triticeae included in the screening. A high proportion of resistant and immune accessions was found in the genera Hordeum, Leymus, Elymus and Elytrigia. The wide range of reaction types to BYDV found within many species, and even between accessions of some species, indicates that natural selection for BYDV resistance may have been relatively recent in the Chinese Triticeae. A high proportion of resistance and/or immunity was found in Xinjiang compared to the general distribution. From the Chinese Triticeae tested the Leymus species may be the most appropriate material to initiate transfer of BYDV resistance to wheat.

    Notes: Abstract This work was aimed at testing the involvement of ethylene in the maturation of grain and senescence of the foliar structures of the wheat inflorescence. Whole wheat ears emitted ethylene to the atmosphere. From pre-anthesis, ethylene emission progressively increased from 0.76 nl g−1FW h−1 to a peak 1.53 nl g−1FW h−1 at the hard dough stage of the grains, to fall to a minimum of 0.10 nl g−1FW h−1 at the dormant seed stage. Ethephon increased the ethylene release, hastened the process of grain maturation and senescence of the ears. Aminoethoxyvinylglycine and silver thiosulfate produced the opposite effects. It is concluded that ethylene plays a role in grain maturation and in the senescence of the green bracts of the inflorescence.

    Notes: Abstract Gibberellins (GAs), GA8, GA17, GA19, GA20, GA29, and GA79 were identified by full-scan gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in a purified acidic fraction and GA8, GA20, GA79, and GA90 in a hydrolysed conjugate fraction from mature wheat grains. Gibberellin A20-13-O-glucoside was also quantified directly as the permethyl derivative in dry seed. The scutellum was identified as the major site of de novo GA biosynthesis by measuring ent-kaurene accumulation in vivo in grains treated with 2S,3S-paclobutrazol. Several GAs of the early 13-hydroxylation GA pathway began to accumulate in the axis and scutellum between 24 and 48 hours in untreated grains germinated at 15°C. Bioactive GA1 and GA3 also increased in the endosperm during this period, whereas abscisic acid contents of embryo and endosperm declined rapidly over 48 hours following imbibition. Treating grains with 2S,3S-paclobutrazol reduced GA1 plus GA3 content of scutella by 70–80% over 4 days without affecting significantly the steady-state pool of α-amylase mRNA transcripts. In contrast, a 50–80% reduction in the content of bioactive GAs in the endosperm was associated with a 70–78% decrease in transcripts for both α-amylase gene families in aleurones of paclobutrazol-treated grains. It was concluded that the initiation of α-amylase gene expression in wheat scutella was independent of de novo GA biosynthesis, whereas that in the aleurone was largely dependent on embryo-produced GAs.

    Notes: Summary Accurate stability analysis must consider the variation of the angle of friction of rockfill with the confining pressure. In reality, with increasing depth of a rockfill dam, the apparent friction angle decreases, whereas near the surface it tends to be higher. Conventional methods which employ a constant friction angle throughout the depth of a rockfill shell often yield a lower factor of safety (conservative) for shallow slip planes. On the contrary, they produce a higher factor of safety for deepseated slips subjected to increased normal (confining) stresses. This paper compares the constant friction angle approach with the variable friction angle method based on the stability analysis of a large rockfill dam, and the associated practical implications are discussed. In the latter analysis, the effect of normal stress on the friction angle of rockfill is incorporated through experimental observations.

    Notes: Abstract The agronomic effectiveness of three P fertilizers (diamonium phosphate, rock phosphate and compost) was studied in a greenhouse experiment using wheat. A radioisotopic method, using triple superphosphate labelled with32P, was used to evaluate the P in dried tops that was derived from i) the soil, ii) labelled superphosphate and iii) the fertilizer being studied. The ratio between P uptake from each fertilizer and P uptake from the soil was used to compare the effectiveness of the different fertilizers. P derived from diammonium phosphate was greater than P derived from the soil, except in one soil. P derived from rock phosphate was always lower than P derived from the soil. The effectiveness of compost depended on soil type. Compost can produce two kind of effects: i) a direct P contribution and ii) an indirect effect improving P uptake from the soil. The radioisotopic method can be used to study the effectiveness of fertilizers even when there are no differences in yield.

    Notes: Abstract In North America where the climate is cool enough only one crop is grown yearly, N fertilizers are sometimes applied in the previous fall rather than in the spring for fall- or spring-sown cereal grains. However, in areas where snow accumulates in winter, fall application of N fertilizers is generally inferior to spring application. Substantial nitrification takes place in winter and subsequent N loss occurs primarily in early spring by denitrification after the snow melt. Immobilization of N is also greater with fall- than spring-applied N fertilizers. Nitrogen is more efficiently retained in the soil as NH4 and thus more effectively used by plants if formation of nitrite (NO2) and NO3 is reduced or prevented by inhibiting nitrification. The nitrification is reduced when urea is placed in bands, because of high pH, ammonia concentration and osmotic pressure in the soil. The rate of nitrification is further reduced when urea is placed in widely-spaced nests (a number of urea prills placed together at a point below the soil surface) or as large urea granules (LUG) by reducing contact between the nitrifying bacteria and the NH4 released upon urea hydrolysis. A further reduction in nitrification from LUG can be obtained by addition of chemical nitrification inhibitors (such as dicyandiamide (DCD)) to LUG. The concentration of a chemical inhibitor required to suppress nitrification decreases with increasing granule size. The small soil-fertilizer interaction zone with placement of urea in nests or as LUG also reduces immobilization of fertilizer N, especially in soils amended with crop residues. The efficiency of fall-applied N is improved greatly by placing urea in nests or as LUG for small cereal grains. Yields of spring-sown barley from nests of urea or LUG applied in the fall are close to those obtained with spring-applied urea prills incorporated into the soil. Delaying urea application until close to freeze-up is also improved the efficiency of fall-applied N. This increased effectiveness of urea nests or LUG is due to slower nitrification, lower N loss over the winter by denitrification, and reduced immobilization of applied N. Fall application of LUG containing low rates of DCD slows nitrification, reduces over-winter N loss, and causes further improvement in yield and N uptake of winter wheat compared to urea as LUG alone in experiments in Ontario; in other experiments in Alberta there is no yield advantage from using a nitrification inhibitor with LUG for barley. Placement of LUG or nests of urea in soil is an agronomically sound practice for reducing N losses. This practice can eliminate or reduce the amount of nitrification inhibitor necessary to improve the efficiency of fall-applied urea where losses of mineral N are a problem. The optimum size of urea nest or LUG, and optimum combination of LUG and an efficient nitrification inhibitor need to be determined for different crops under different agroclimatic conditions. The soil (texture, CEC, N status), plant (winter or spring crop, crop geometry, crop growth duration and cultivar) and climatic (temperature, amount and distribution of precipitation) factors should be taken into account during field evaluation of LUG. There is a need to conduct region-specific basic research to understand mechanisms and magnitudes of N transformations and N losses in a given ecosystem. Prediction of nitrification from LUG or urea nests in various environments is needed. In nitrification inhibition studies with LUG and chemical nitrification inhibitors, measurements of nitrifier activity will be useful. Finally, there is need for development of applicators for mechanical placement of LUG or urea prills in widely-spaced nests in soil.

    Notes: Abstract A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of Se contained in calcium nitrate, top-dressed at different growth stages, on the Se concentration in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Selenium as sodium selenate was added to Ca (NO3)2 and NPK (21-4-10) during the manufacturing process. A silty clay soil with soil pH of 6.1 was used. Four selenium treatments incorporated in Ca (NO3)2 were top-dressed at both the tillering and heading growth stages at rates of 0, 15, 30, and 45 mg kg−1 of Ca (NO3)2 fertilizer equivalent to about 0, 0.003, 0.007, 0.01 mg Se kg−1 soil, respectively. A fifth treatment of 20 mg Se kg−1 of NPK (21-4-10%) equivalent to 0.007 mg Se kg−1 soil was basal dressed at the time of sowing. Calcium nitrate with or without Se was top-dressed at the rate of 35 mg N kg−1. In addition all pots received a basal dose of N at the rate of 7 0 mg N kg−1 through a NPK(21-4-10) fertilizer. The Se-enriched Ca (NO3)2 increased the uptake and concentration of Se in wheat significantly (ρ〉0.05) with increasing concentration of Se in the fertilizer applied. The Se concentration in wheat grain increased from 〈1.1 to 468µg Se kg−1 in the first year when the concentration in the Se-enriched Ca (NO3)2 was increased from 0 to 45 mg Se kg−1 but the corresponding increase in the second and third year was lower. The Se concentration in the grain was more than twice of that in the straw. The uptake and concentration of Se in wheat, except in the second year, was generally higher when Se was top-dressed at heading as compared to that when it was top-dressed at tillering but the concentration differences between time of application were not statistically significant(ρ〉0.05). Basal application of Se-enriched NPK (0.007 mg Se kg−1 soil) was only half as effective as an equivalent rate of Se in top-dressed Seenriched Ca(NO3)2 in increasing the Se concentration in wheat and the concentration levels among these treatments were significantly (ρ〉0.01) different. It was concluded that topdressing of Se-enriched Ca(NO3)2 at 30 mg Se kg−1 is an effective method of application to increase the Se concentration in wheat grain to a level, 〉 100µg kg−1 dry matter, considered adequate for human consumption.

    Notes: Abstract Planting trees in the cultivated fields of Pakistan is a controversial topic between foresters and agriculturists. Some farmers believe that trees significantly reduce their crop yields; therefore they avoid planting trees in their fields. On the other hand, many foresters claim trees are beneficial for crops. This study was conducted to determine the influence of boundary trees (Acacia nilotica) on the growth and yield of associated wheat crops under irrigated conditions in Punjab, Pakistan. Results indicate that close proximity to trees adversely affected tillers/m2, weight/1000 grain and the grain yield of wheat planted up to a distance of 8.5 m from the trees. Plant height and grains/spike were least affected. In general, the growth and yield of wheat improved as distance from the tree increased. Tree size did not affect wheat height, tillers/m2, grains/spike or weight/1000 grain. The grain yields were slightly lower near the largest trees (50–54.9 cm DBH trees).

    Notes: Abstract Low levels of in vitro androgenesis limit the utility of anther culture as a routine tool for the improvement of triticale. The objectives of this research were to determine the effect of induction medium modifications on the embryoid induction (EI) and green plant regeneration (GPR) of three hexaploid winter triticales and a hexaploid winter wheat. Medium modifications were factorial combinations of gelling agents, pH and maltose concentration. There was a significant difference in the response of wheat and triticales. An induction medium pH of 4.8 vs. 5.8 led to higher EI percentages in all cases and in Ficoll containing medium to a significantly higher GPR in the wheat, but it had no effect on the response of the triticales. Maltose at 0.26 M vs. 0.21 M increased the EI of both the triticales and the wheat but led to higher GPR only in the case of wheat. Averaged over genotypes, induction media with agar and Ficoll 400 were superior to the liquid form. In terms of GPR the wheat gave the highest response: 9.1%. The GPR percentages for the triticales ranged from 1.4 to 7.1. Genotype specificity must be overcome if anther culture is to be routinely used in diverse arrays of triticale germplasm.

    Notes: Summary Two kinds of wheat hybrids with the same nuclear genotype but different cytoplasms (one with T.timopheevi cytoplasm, i.e., A/R, and the other with T.aestivum cytoplasm, i.e., B/R) were produced by two 3 × 5 incomplete diallel crosses of 3 A-lines, 3 corresponding B-lines and 5 R-lines, respectively. Experimental results did not show significant differences between the hybrids of A/R and B/R in grain filling characteristics and grain weight. The beterosis of grain weight seems mainly determined by the nuclear genotype. Although the seeds set on most A-lines were shrivelled, such a phenomenon was not found in grains set on F1. The duration of the lag period (D1) and the average grain filling rates during the linear period and the mature period (i.e., FR2 and FR3) were significantly and positively related to 1000-grain weight. It was in these factors that most hybrids displayed clear mid-parent (MP) heterosis. The amount of grain weight heterosis was not significantly related to MP value. This indicates that the grain weight heterosis of wheat hybrids will not decrease with an increase of the MP value.

    Notes: Summary Cultivar specific DNA profiles in rye were revealed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) sequences. Ten base primers were used for the amplification of genomic DNA of rye cultivars by PCR. RAPD analysis was found to be reproducible among samples between PCR runs. When amplification profiles of different rye cultivars were compared using various primers, the overall profiles were cultivar specific. However, not all primers revealed polymorphisms. These primers appear to amplify conserved sequences in all rye cultivars. Intracultivar studies were conducted on two of the cultivars. In the cultivar Imperial, no polymorphisms were observed among ten plants analyzed with five primers. In the cultivar Balboa, polymorphisms were observed among fifty plants with four of the ten primers analyzed. Despite the small amount of intracultivar variability, RAPD analysis has the potential to be a rapid and reliable method of cultivar identification in this outcrossing species.

    Notes: Summary A joint breeding project for the northern areas of Scandinavia and Iceland was initiated in 1981 under the auspices of the Nordic Council of Ministers. Initially, efforts concentrated on cooperative trials in which both early and more advanced breeding material was tested at a number of experimental stations in the northern regions. This was followed by a joint breeding programme for timothy with the primary aim of developing varieties that possess broad adaptation to a range of Nordic climates and managements and can be grown throughout the northernmost part of Scandinavia. Each of the five national breeding stations originally provided 12 timothy genotypes for the project giving a total of 60 genotypes. The parental genotypes were compared as spaced plants at all five stations and their polycross progeny were grown under sward conditions at the same sites. On the basis of results obtained from these field trials parent clones have been selected and intercrossed to form synthetic populations.

    Notes: Summary The inheritance of leaf rust resistance was studied in 13 accessions of the A.E. Watkins wheat collection. Eight of the accessions (V409, V624, V628, V712, V731, V734, V745, and V855) were shown to have gene Lr33 and four of these (V409, V624, V628, and V731) also have LrW. Accessions V624 and V338 have LrB, and V377 and V488 have Lr11. V46 has an unidentified gene that gives an intermediate level of resistance. V860 has a partially dominant gene that gives a fleck reaction to avirulent isolates in the seedling stage. This gene is different from LrW and may be previously unidentified. It has been assigned the temporary gene symbol LrW2. In addition to seedling-effective genes, V46, V731, and V745 may have Lr34 and V745 may have Lr13. The adult-plant resistance in V488, V624, and V860 could not be identified. Seedling gene LrW2 and some of the adult-plant resistance should be useful sources of resistance.

    Notes: Summary Virulence patterns of yellow rust isolates collected in Kenya between 1986–1989 were compared with earlier results. The number of virulence factors per race and the range in virulence factors both increased considerably. Before 1976 races carried on average 4.5 to 5.0 virulence factors, whereas the races after 1986 had a mean of 6.5 virulence factors. The range in the number of virulence factors increased from some seven to eight in the first period to 12 in the second out of the 17 evaluated. In the period 1986–1989 another three virulence factors (2, 9 and A) were assessed. All three occurred at a high frequency. Virulence neutralizing the resistance genes Yr2, Yr2+, Yr6, Yr6+, Yr7, Yr7+, Yr8, Yr9, Yr9+ and those in the cultivars Anza (A), Strubes Dickkopf (SD) and Suwon92/Omar (SU) occurred at a high frequency, while virulence for Yr3V, Yr4+, Yr5, CV and SP (resistance in Carstens V and Spaldings Prolific resp.) were not found. The remaining three virulence factors for Yr1, 10 and 3N were rare. In the past ten years the resistance of most released cultivars became ineffective in less than six years. They were shown to carry race-specific major resistance genes such as Yr7+, Yr9+, SD and A. However, in the field, the resistance of the cultivars was not completely neutralized. A residual resistance, ranging from moderate to fairly high, was observed in all cultivars in which the major gene resistances were neutralized by corresponding virulence genes. Other wheat cultivars such as Africa Mayo, Kenya Kudu, Enkoy, Kenya Leopard, Bounty, Frontatch, Bonny and Kenya Plume appeared to keep their resistance over a condiserable period of time. They are considered to be durably resistant to the Kenyan yellow rust populations. This form of resistance, together with the residual resistance, can be recommended for use in breeding programmes.

    Notes: Abstract Responses of individual leaves to short-term changes in CO2 partial pressure have been relatively well studied. Whole-plant and plant community responses to elevated CO2 are less well understood and scaling up from leaves to canopies will be complicated if feedbacks at the small scale differ from feedbacks at the large scale. Mathematical models of leaf, canopy, and ecosystem processes are important tools in the study of effects on plants and ecosystems of global environmental change, and in particular increasing atmospheric CO2, and might be used to scale from leaves to canopies. Models are also important in assessing effects of the biosphere on the atmosphere. Presently, multilayer and big leaf models of canopy photosynthesis and energy exchange exist. Big leaf models — which are advocated here as being applicable to the evaluation of impacts of ‘global change’ on the biosphere — simplify much of the underlying leaf-level physics, physiology, and biochemistry, yet can retain the important features of plant-environment interactions with respect to leaf CO2 exchange processes and are able to make useful, quantitative predictions of canopy and community responses to environmental change. The basis of some big leaf models of photosynthesis, including a new model described herein, is that photosynthetic capacity and activity are scaled vertically within a canopy (by plants themselves) to match approximately the vertical profile of PPFD. The new big leaf model combines physically based models of leaf and canopy level transport processes with a biochemically based model of CO2 assimilation. Predictions made by the model are consistent with canopy CO2 exchange measurements, although a need exists for further testing of this and other canopy physiology models with independent measurements of canopy mass and energy exchange at the time scale of 1 h or less.

    Notes: Abstract Wheat and maize were grown in a growth chamber with the atmospheric CO2 continuously labelled with 14C to study the translocation of assimilated carbon to the rhizosphere. Two different N levels in soil were applied. In maize 26–34% of the net assimilated 14C was translocated below ground, while in wheat higher values (40–58%) were found. However, due to the much higher shoot production in maize the total amount of carbon translocated below ground was similar to that of wheat. At high N relatively more of the C that was translocated to the root, was released into the soil due to increased root respiration and/or root exudation and subsequent microbial utilization and respiration. The evolution rate of unlabelled CO2 from the native soil organic matter decreased after about 25 days when wheat was grown at high N as compared to low N. This negative effect of high N in soil was not observed with maize.

    Notes: Abstract Data are presented on the differences in root length density (RLD), dry matter (DM), and root diameter values determined on wheat and faba bean using sieves of different mesh size to separate roots from soil during sample preparation. Screens with 0.2, 1, and 2 mm (0.04, 1, and 4 mm2) aperture were used. Roots collected on the 2-mm sieve represented on average 55% of the weight and only 10% of the total length collected using a 0.2-mm sieve. With a 1-mm sieve 75% of weight was retained, but only 34% of the length. In the 0–20 cm soil layer average RLD and DM values ranged between 1.3 and 2.5 cm cm-3 and 215 and 136 g m-2 for faba bean and wheat respectively with 2 mm screens and 14.6 and 18.1 cm cm-3 and 313 and 202 g m-2 with 0.2 mm sieves. RLD was more affected than weight since losses from coarse screens were largely due to fine root fractions, although the 1-and 2-mm screens retained a small amount of fine roots that were long or attached to main structures. Variability was higher for measurements on coarser screens. The use of screens much coarser than the diameter of fine roots is not recommended for the study of surface-related phenomena in which root length quantification is necessary, while it may be acceptable for gross comparisons of root weight and spatial extent.

    Notes: Summary Combining ability for six in vitro culture traits in wheat were studied in a 8×8 diallel cross (excluding reciprocals). Specific combining ability effects (sca) were significant for all six traits derived from immature embryos on two media protocols, whereas general combining ability (gca) variances were significant only for five of them. Furthermore, based on ratios obtained by comparing the ratio of K2 gca to K2 sca, sca was more important than gca for all six traits. Genetic correlations between shoot formation and other in vitro traits, except callus weight and root formation, were higher in magnitude than the corresponding phenotypic correlations estimates, indicating the importance of genetic effects.

    Notes: Summary Gene action and heritability for photosynthetic activity were estimated from generation means in two wheat crosses during two stages (5 th leaf and flag leaf between 2 and 5 days after anthesis). Six generations were available for each cross: parents (P1 and P2), F1, F2 and backcrosses (BC1 and BC2). Correlations between some morphophysiological characters and photosynthetic activity of the flag leaf was also determined. The joint scaling test described by Mather & Jinks was used to determine the gene action. It showed that them; [d]; [h]; [i], [l] (mean, additivity, dominance, additive x additive interallelic interaction effects, dominance x dominance interallelic interaction effects) model fits the two crosses at both measurement times. All the model genetic components were significant for the flag leaf, however for the 5 th leaf only [h]; [i] and [l] were significant. The presence of additive and additive x additive effects suggested the possibility of selecting for this character using the flag leaf so as to obtain pure inbred lines. Dominance effects [h] were negative and dominance x dominance effects [l] were positive. Broad sense heritability values were medium to low. There were no correlations between the studied morphophysiological characters and the photosynthetic activity.

    Notes: Summary The Sr27 translocation in WRT238 was found to consist of chromosome arms 3RS of rye and 3AS of common wheat. An attempt was made to purposely produce compensating translocations having 3RS and a wheat homoeologous group 3L arm. To achieve this, plants, double monosomic for 3R and a wheat homoeologous group 3 chromosome, were irradiated (7.5 Gy gamma rays) or left untreated before being used to pollinate stem rust susceptible testers. Segregation for stem rust resistance was studied to identify F2 families with Sr27-carrying translocated chromosomes, these were confirmed by means of C-banding. Compensating translocations 3RS3AL and 3RS3BL) were obtained readily and at similar frequencies from untreated and irradiated plants (respectively, 7.2% and 9.3%). Both translocation types have impaired transmission and segregate approximately 3: 2 (present: absent) in the F2.

    Notes: Summary Faster canopy development in temperate cereals can result in more efficient utilization of wate, light and nutrients if these are in limited supply. It can also result in more competitive plants and less use of herbicides. The possible importance of the coleoptile tiller for increasing early vigour in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was determined for twelve F4 lines in two experiments. Each F4 line was chosen for variation in the presence and absence of a coleoptile tiller in plants in the previous generation; each F4 line was traced to a single F2 plant from a multiple convergent cross of sixteen parents. Eight plants of each of the F4 lines were grown in a single row in both experiments. Just after the coleoptile tiller appeared, plants within each line were classified into one of two groups; one group contained plants with large coleoptile tillers whereas the other group had either small coleoptile tillers or none at all. Leaf expansion rates were determined non-destructively at regular intervals, and plants were harvested to determine leaf and tiller characteristics when there were about five mainstem leaves. There was substantial variation in the leaf area of the coleoptile tiller both between groups and among lines. In both experiments plants with a large coleoptile tiller had 24–30% more leaf area and dry weight than plants selected with a small or absent coleoptile tiller up to the final harvest. Leaf expansion rates (increase in leaf area per day) were 25 to 35% greater in the large coleoptile tiller selections from the time tillers first appeared to the time of harvest, whereas the relative leaf expansion rate (increase in leaf area per unit of leaf area present per day) of the large selections was significantly greater than the small selections only at the time of appearance of the coleoptile tiller and just after. There was no evidence that the early appearance of a coleoptile tiller was associated with the largest seedlings or that it inhibited the growth of later tillers. It is concluded that selection for the appearance of a large coleoptile tiller should improve the early vigour of temperate cereals.

    Notes: Abstract The resolved enantiomers of paclobutrazol appeared to have different primary modes of action as plant growth retardants in rht3 (tall) wheat seedlings. 2S,3S-Paclobutrazol reduced shoot growth more effectively than root growth, whereas the opposite was the case with the 2R,3R-enantiomer. Low concentrations (0.03–1.0 μM) of 2S,3S-paclobutrazol specifically inhibited gibberellin A1 (GA1) production in Rht3 (dwarf) seedlings without affecting shoot growth, confirming that inhibition of GA biosynthesis is the primary mode of action of this enantiomer. Reductions in shoot growth of rht3 (tall) wheat treated with 2S,3S-paclobutrazol were associated with reductions in GA1 content, an effect that could be reversed by gibberellic acid (GA3) application, showing that GAs are important regulators of light-grown shoot growth in wheat. The inhibition of root growth of wheat seedlings following treatment with 2R,3R-paclobutrazol was associated with a decline in de novo synthesis of major sterols, a decrease in stigmasterol: sitosterol ratio and an accumulation of the 14α-methyl sterol, obtusifoliol. Concentrations 〉3 μM 2S,3S-paclobutrazol also affected de novo sterol production in wheat roots, suggesting that root growth is more responsive to interference with sterol than GA biosynthesis. There was a decline in abscisic acid (ABA) content in Rht3 (dwarf) shoots treated with relatively high concentrations of 2S,3S-paclobutrazol but no effect with its optical isomer.

    Notes: Abstract Homoeologous relationships between the arms of wheat group 2 chromosomes were analysed by studying homoeologous pairing in wheat—rye hybrids. Chromosomes 2A and 2D were identified using telocentrics 2AS, 2DS or 2DL. The remaining wheat chromosomes and their arms were identified by C-banding. Wheat chromosomes in the hybrids were derived from plants which were heterozygous(Ph1/ph1b) and monotelocentric for 2AS, 2DS or 2DL. In these plants, chromosome 2B and the telocentric showed regular bivalent pairing. From the results of homoeologous pairing in wheat—rye hybrids, normal homoeologous relationships between 2AS, 2BS and 2DS, as well as between 2AL, 2BL and 2DL, were deduced. There was no evidence that wheat group 2 chromosomes were involved in evolutionary chromosome rearrangements. The existence of a pairing promoter gene on chromosome arm 2DS was supported.

    Notes: Abstract A number of wheat—Elymus trachycaulus (2n= 4x= 28, genomically StStHtHt) chromosome addition, substitution, and translocation lines were isolated from the derivatives of anE. trachycaulus × wheat hybrid. Eighteen out of a total of 28 chromosome arms ofE. trachycaulus were recovered in the addition lines. The genomic affinity of individualE. trachycaulus chromosomes was analysed by comparative chromosome banding andin situ hybridization using genome-specific repetitive DNA sequences as probes. The homoeology of theE. trachycaulus chromosomes added to wheat was determined by storage protein, isozyme, and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Alloplasmic wheat—E. trachycaulus chromosome additions were isolated which only involved chromosome 1Ht and 1St that carry fertility restoration geneRf-H t1 andRf-S t1, respectively. Based on the results of production and characterization of a wheat—E. trachycaulus 5Ht(5B) substitution line, it is likely that some wheat chromosomes can be well compensated genetically byE. trachycaulus chromosomes. Several spontaneous wheat—E. trachycaulus chromosome translocation lines were detected. All the translocation lines involved either 1Ht or 1St. To estimate the potential of recombination between wheat andE. trachycaulus chromosomes, a backcross population derived from a plant which was double monosomic for chromosomes 7A and 7AL·7AS—1StS and aph1b gene was developed. The plants from this population were analysed for 1St-specific genetic markers and no recombinant was recovered.

    Notes: Abstract An important (some say, the major) reason for using feedback control is the presence of uncertain parameters which are a natural part of any real dynamical model. In this paper, we consider uncertain constant parameters in a time-invariant linear plant and announce some new results concerning robust compensator synthesis. Using the min-max principle, we derive necessary conditions for fixed-order linear robust controllers assuring asymptotic stability or relative stability. These necessary conditions are an extension of the Lagrange multiplier method. This is achieved using a cost function based on the inverse of the so-called critical constraint. We present both matrix and polynomial versions; the latter allows controllers of fixed structure. We suggest a probability-one homotopy algorithm and solve some examples from the literature.

    The application of multi-scale perturbation method to the stability analysis of plane couette flow (1994)
    Springer
    Applied mathematics and mechanics 15 (1994), S. 923-928 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-2754
    Keywords: stability ; multi-scale perturbation method ; bifurcation from infinity

    Notes: Abstract This paper applies the multi-scale perturbation method suggested by Ref. [3] to investigate the linear stability behavior of distorted plane Couette flow. Using this method, the unstable Tollmien-Schlichting wave in plane Couette flow can be found. but not the most unstable mode. By comparing the results of this paper with those of Ref. [3], the effectiveness of this method is investigated.

    Cyclodextrins as Mucosal Absorption Promoters of Insulin. II. Effects of β-Cyclodextrin Derivatives on α-Chymotryptic Degradation and Enteral Absorption of Insulin in Rats (1994)
    Springer

    ISSN: 1573-904X

    Notes: Abstract The relative effectiveness of two β-cyclodextrin derivatives, i.e., dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin (DMβCD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), in enhancing enteral absorption of insulin was evaluated in the lower jejunal/upper ileal segments of the rat by means of an in situ closed loop method. The incorporation of 10% (w/v) DMβCD to a 0.5 mg/ml porcine-zinc insulin solution dramatically increased insulin bioavailability from a negligible value (~0.06%) to 5.63%, when administered enterally at a dose of 20 U/kg. However, addition of 10% (w/v) HPβCD did not improve enteral insulin uptake significantly with a bioavailability of only 0.07%. Similarly, the pharmacodynamic relative efficacy values obtained after the enteral administration of 20 U/kg insulin, 20 U/kg insulin with 10% HPβCD, and 20 U/kg insulin with 10% DMβCD were 0.24%, 0.26%, and 1.75%, respectively. Biodegradation studies of 0.5 mg/ml insulin hexamers by 0.5 µM α-chymotrypsin revealed no inhibitory effect on the enzymatic activity by the two cyclodextrins. On the contrary, the apparent first-order rate constant increased significantly in the presence of 10% DMβCD, suggesting insulin oligomer dissociation by DMβCD. Histopathological examination of the rat intestine was performed to detect tissue damage following enteral administration of the β-cyclodextrin derivatives. Light microscopic inspection indicated no observable tissue damage, thereby arguing direct membrane fluidization as the primary mechanism for enhanced insulin uptake. This study indicates the feasibility of using cyclodextrins as mucosal absorption promoters of proteins and peptide drugs.
