    Notes: Summary Poor adaptability or functional quality of much germplasm used for breeding high-protein hard red winter wheats prompted mutagenesis as an alternative means of increasing grain protein content. Four hard red winter wheat genotypes — KS644 (‘Triumph// Concho/Triumph’), ‘Kaw’, ‘Parker’, and ‘Shawnee’ — were treated with 0.40 M ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS). Advanced lines (M8-M10) were selected that had a 3-year mean grain protein advantage of 0.7% to 2.0% over controls. Increased grain protein content was generally associated with decreased grain yield and kernel weight, but some high-protein mutant lines had yields or kernel weights similar to those of original genotypes. Changes in height and lodging induced by EMS were generally favorable, most mutants being shorter and lodging less than controls, but blooming date was generally delayed, a deleterious change. One line also changed from resistant to segregating for wheat soil-borne mosaic virus. Mutant lines might be utilized in cross-breeding programs, particularly if negative pleiotropic effects and linkages are absent.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto È stata sfruttata la risoluzione spaziale del sensore magnetico per fornire stime numeriche del contributo atriale ai campi magnetici registrati esattamente prima della depolarizzazione ventricolare. Si trova che il contributo è piccolo, e questo rafforza l’interpretazione originale secondo la quale questi campi derivano principalmente dal sistema di conduzione del cuore.
    Notes: Summary We have exploited the spatial resolution of the magnetic sensor to provide numerical estimates of the atrial contribution to magnetic fields recorded just prior to ventricular depolarization. The contribution is found to be small, strenghening our original interpretation that such fields originate mostly in the conduction system of the heart.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Finora la magnetoencefalografia spontanea (MEG) in soggetti normali e patologici non è stata investigata a fondo. Si conoscono pochissimi contributi in questo campo. A parte il lavoro del gruppo di biomagnetismo di Roma, il solo contributo clinico finora è stato quello di Hughes e collaboratori che era abbastanza limitato nel numero e nella scelta dei soggetti studiati. La nostra esperienza condotta fin dal 1980 su un gran numero di casi (principalmente epilessie focali) mostra che il MEG può evidenziare attività significative anche se non sono presenti anormalità EEG; esso ha inoltre una risoluzione spaziale maggiore rispetto all’EEG. I foci epilettici mostrano un’area limitata di attività massima. Finora non è stata osservata nessuna evidenza sperimentale di una differente distribuzione delle ampiezze del campo sullo scalpo. La risoluzione spaziale del MEG riguarda anche la possibilità di risolvere la morfologia dei segnali EEG (per esempio onde aguzze EEG risolte in gruppi di spikes dal MEG) o di separare topograficamente le anormalità EEG mescolate e non ben localizzate (per esempio, attività delta ed epilettiche mescolate nell’EEG e discriminate nel MEG). I migliori risultati si osservano quando la localizzazione è nella corteccia esterna. Dopo una descrizione del materiale studiato, si sottolinea l’importanza dei risultati ottenuti per la prima volta in casi di epilessie focali.
    Notes: Summary So far spontaneous magnetoencephalography (MEG) in normal and pathological subjects has not been deeply investigated. Very few contributions in this field are available. Aside from the work of the Rome biomagnetic group in this field, the only clinical contribution up to now has been that of Hughes and co-workers which was rather limited in the number and in the selection of subjects investigated. Our experience, carried out since 1980 on a large number of cases—mainly focal epilepsies— shows that the MEG may evidence significant activities even if EEG abnormalities are not present and has a higher spatial resolution with respect to the EEG. Epileptic foci show a limited area of maximal activity. So far no experimental evidence of a different distribution of field amplitude over the scalp has been observed. The spatial resolution of the MEG also regards the possibility of resolving the morphology of EEG signals (for instance, EEG sharp waves resolved into groups of spikes by MEG) or topographically separate EEG abnormalities mixed up and not well localized (for instance, delta and epileptic activities mixed up in the EEG, but differently in the MEG). The best results are observed when the localization is in the outer cortex. After a description of the material studied, the importance of the results obtained for the first time in cases of focal epilepsies is outlined.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Durante l’ultimo anno gli autori hanno condotto una ricerca sistematica su un gran numero di soggetti patologici registrando simultaneamente l’EEG e il MEG. La presente versione del nostro apparato sperimentale permette di effettuare misure MEG con un solo sensore magnetico, impedendo la rilevazione simultanea di attività MEG su punti differenti della testa. Ciò ha condotto gli autori a concentrarsi sulle epilessie focali. Fin dalle prime misure il sensore magnetico ha dimostrato un notevole potere localizzante, rafforzando l’interesse per la localizzazione in casi patologici. In questo lavoro si riportano risultati che sembrano confermare la straordìnaria capacità delle misure MEG nel localizzare sorgenti di attività cerebrali patologiche in casi di epilessie focali.
    Notes: Summary During the last year the authors have been carrying out a systematic investigation on a large number of pathological subjects simultaneously recording the EEG and the MEG. The present version of our experimental apparatus allows MEG measurements with only one magnetic detector, thus preventing the detection of simultaneous MEG activities over different points of the head. This has led the authors to concentrate upon focal epilepsies. Since the first measurements a remarkable localizing power was shown by the magnetic detector, thus strengthening the interest in pathological localization. In this contribution we report results which seem to confirm the extraordinary capability of MEG measurements to localize sources of pathological brain activities in cases of focal epilepsies.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Sono state esaminate l’idealità e la sensibilità di parecchi conduttori magnetocardiografici vettoriali usando un modello inomogeneo fisico del tronco. Si è trovato che la componente antero-posterioreX vettore magnetico del cuore è la piú facile da scoprire. Si suggeriscono conduttori ideali per le altre due componenti. Comunque questi hanno una sensibilità inferiore. Le differenze rispetto ai risultati di precedenti ricercatori sono state spiegate con le differenze tra i modelli.
    Notes: Summary The ideality and sensitivity of several vector magnetocardiographic leads were tested by using an inhomogeneous, physical torso model. The postero-anterior component of the heart’s magnetic vector was found easiest to detect. New, more ideal leads for the other two components are suggested. However, these have lower sensitivity. The differences from the results of former investigators can be explained by the differences of the models.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Si è studiato lo spettro del rumore di un gradiometro superconduttore a derivata secon da in un agglomerato urbano. I dati sono stati ottenuti dal gradiometro con tre accelerometri ortogonali e un magnetometro a flussometro elettronico triassiale attaccato al dewar. Questi dati sono stati analizzati usando tecniche di elaborazione dei segnali, soprattutto un cancellatore adattativo di rumori, per ridurre i rumori nei dati del gradiometro. I risultati mostrano qui che il rumore dell’esterno e/o il rumore del movimento del dewar possono essere ridotti di 40 dB in potenza di rumore. Si è anche mostrato che, nel caso di basso rapporto segnale-rumore (S/N∼1), può essere estratta un’onda sunusoidale di 10 Hz. Questa tecnica non solo promette riduzione dei rumori, ma ha anche lo scopo d’identificare i segnali di rumore che potrebbero essere veramente considerati parte del responso evocato. L’analisi dei dati che contengono i responsi evocati è ora in corso.
    Notes: Summary The noise spectrum of a superconducting second-derivative gradiometer has been investigated in an urban environment. Data have been acquired from the gradiometer with three orthogonal accelerometers and a triaxial fluxgate magnetometer attached to the dewar. These data have been analyzed by using signal processing techniques, primarily an adaptive noise canceller, to reduce noise in the gradiometer data. Results shown here indicate that the environmental noise and/or the dewar motion noise can be reduced as much as 40 dB in noise power. It is also shown, in the case of poor signal-to-noise ratio (S/N∼1), that a 10 Hz sine wave can be extracted. This technique not only shows promise for noise reduction, but also aids in the identification of noise signals which might be misconstrued as part of the evoked response. Analysis of data containing evoked response is now underway.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Particelle ferromagnetiche immesse per via intratracheale nei polmoni sono fagocitate da macrofagi alveolari. Dopo che queste particelle sono state magnetizzate dal campo esterno, esse producono un campo residuo che decade rapidamente a causa del disallineamento delle particelle dovuto al movimento citoplasmatico (rilassamento). I cambiamenti nel valore di rilassamento nel tempo successivo all’immissione potrebbero essere connessi alla mobilità citoplasmatica.
    Notes: Summary Ferrimagnetic particles instilled intratracheally into the lungs are phagocytized by alveolar macrophages. After these particles are magnetized by an external field, they produce a remanent field which decays rapidly due to particle misalignment from cytoplasmic motion (relaxation). Changes in relaxation rate with time following instillation might be related to cytoplasmic motility.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Le ricerche sul campo magnetico intorno alla gamba umana con l’uso di un magnetometro SQUID producono risultati consistenti e riproducibili che possono essere rappresentati mediamente due linee di corrente, orientate inversamente, parallele all’asse della gamba. I campi sono condizionati dall’attività muscolare, che decade col tempo di rilassamento della gamba.
    Notes: Summary Investigations of the magnetic field around the human leg using a SQUID magnetometer yield consistent, reproducible results which can be modelled by 2 oppositely oriented line currents parallel to the leg axis. The fields are affected by muscle activity, decaying with the time of relaxation of the leg.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto In questo lavoro si tratta il problema dell’ottimizzazione di sistemi di sensori gradiometrici metrici superconduttori di secondo ordine che sono stati progettati per la misurazione di campi magnetici deboli disomogenei in un ambiente disturbato magneticamente. Si considerano le condizioni di massimo rapporto segnale-rumore dell’uscita del quantomagnetometro superconduttote (SQM). Si analizza l’influenza dei parametri misurati della sorgente del segnale, del rumore di una sorgente di disturbo esterna e di quello proprio del magnetometro sulla selezione della lunghezza di base del gradiometro.
    Notes: Summary In this paper we deal with an optimization problem of the second-order superconducting gradiometric sensor systems that have been designed for measurement of the weak inhomogeneous magnetic fields in a magnetically disturbed environment. The conditions of maximum signalto-noise ratio of the output of superconducting quantum magnetometers (SQM) are considered. The influence of measured signal source parameters, of an outside disturbing source and of the own noise of the magnetometer on the gradiometer base length selection is analysed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto L'attività del sistema di His-Purkinje è stata misurata magneticamente usando un magnetometro SQUID nella camera schermata magneticamente di Berlino (BMSR) e usando in aggiunta filtraggio (banda passante da 0.5 Hz a 300 Hz) e tecniche di mediazione. La camera riduce il livello di rumore di fondo a meno di 4 $$4{{fT} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{fT} {\sqrt {Hz} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sqrt {Hz} }}$$ nella regione a spettro bianco. All'interno dell'intervalloPR è stata osservata una struttura a rampa, la cui pendenza cambia segno attraversando la linea mediana del cuore. In aggiunta, sono stati registrati segnali ben definiti approssimativemente 40 ms prima dell'inizio dell'attivazione ventricolare.
    Abstract: Резюме йзмеряется активность НР системы у человека с помощью SQUID магнетометра в Берлинской магнитно экранированной комнате, используя фильтртрацию полосы пропускания (ширина полосы от 0.5 Гц до 300 Гц) и усреднение. Берлинская магнитно экранированная комната уменьшает уровень фонового шума до величины $$4{{fT} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{fT} {\sqrt {Hz} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sqrt {Hz} }}$$ в области белого шума. ВнутриPR интервла наблюдается диаграмма с уклоном, причем величина ыклона меняется при пересечении медианной линии сердца. Кроме того, ориблизительно за 40 мс до наступления активности желудочка регистрируются определенные сигналы.
    Notes: Summary The activity of the His-Purkinje system (HPS) in man has been measured magnetically with a SQUID magnetometer in the Berlin magnetically shielded room (BMSR) by using in addition band pass filtering (band width 0.5 Hz to 300 Hz) and averaging. The BMSR reduces the background noise level to less than $$4{{fT} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{fT} {\sqrt {Hz} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sqrt {Hz} }}$$ in the region of white noise. Within thePR interval a ramp pattern was observed, changing its slope when crossing the median line of the heart. In addition, definite signals were recorded approximately 40 ms before the onset of ventricular activation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Sono stati osservati segnali degradanti nel segmentoPR dei magnetocardiogrammi normali registrati da 5 cani. Sono state osservate rampe maggiori dopo aver indotto con farmaci il blocco del nodo atrioventricolare di primo grado, ed è stata osservata una completa ripolarizzazione atriale a seguito d’isolate contrazioni atriali in due animali con blocco di secondo grado. Queste rampe, che variano fino a 6.7 pT in ampiezza e provengono dagli atri, possono complicare l’individuazione magnetica dell’attività di His-Purkinje.
    Notes: Summary Sloping signals were observed in thePR segment of normal magnetocardiograms recorded from five dogs. Larger ramps were observed after first-degree AV nodal blockade was induced pharmacologically, and complete atrial repolarization was observed following isolated atrial contractions in two animals with second-degree block. These ramps, ranging up to 6.7 pT in size and arising from the atria, may complicate magnetic detection of His-Purkinje activity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto La motivazione fondamentale per lo studio dei fenomeni elettrofisiologici cardiaci tramite il metodo biomagnetico è dovuta al fatto che questa tecnica offre un’alta risoluzione spaziale e sembra fornire informazioni complementari rispetto alle sole registrazioni elettriche. Fino ad oggi l’interesse degli studiosi si è concentrato su due differenti fenomeni cardiaci: 1) lo studio dell’attività del sistema di conduzione atrioventricolare e 2) lo studio della depolarizzazione ventricolare anormalmente ritardata (late potentials). L’interesse clinico per lo studio non invasivo del sistema di His-Purkinje (HPS) è ben noto. Registrazioni cliniche non invasive di late potentials sono particolarmente desiderabili in quanto possono essere preziosi indicatori di rischio di morte improvvisa. In questo lavoro si presenta una rassegna sullo stato delle ricerche in entrambi i campi d’indagine.
    Notes: Summary The fundamental motivation for investigating cardiac electrophysiological phenomena by means of the biomagnetic method has been that this technique should have added spatial resolution and provided complementary information as opposed to electric recordings only. So far the interest of experimentalists has been concentrated on two different kinds of cardiac phenomena: 1) the study of the activity of the cardiac conduction system and 2) of abnormally delayed ventricular depolarization (late potentials). The clinical interest for the noninvasive investigation of the His-Purkinje system (HPS) is well known. Noninvasive clinical recording of late potentials is particularly desirable as they seem to be precious markers for risk of sudden death. A review of the state of research in both fields is presented in this paper.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Ein dal 1980 è iniziato uno studio sistematico dell’attività del sistema di His-Purkjnje (HPS) su soggetti normali e patologici con il metodo biomagnetico. Allo scopo di risolvere il problema di quanta parte dei segnali misurati sia attribuibile al sistema di His-Purkinje e quanta piuttosto alla ripolarizzazione atriale, è stata recentemente sviluppata una strumentazione appositamente disegnata per misure sul HPS e con una sensibilità di $$20fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ nella banda di frequenze interessanti ((0.5÷300) Hz). Al contempo si è altresí sviluppato un nuovo modello teorico in stretta corrispondenza con le caratteristiche anatomiche del HPS che fornisce una distribuzione di campo magnetico sul torace in buon accordo qualitativo con i risultati sperimentali.
    Notes: Summary Since 1980, systematic investigations of the activity of the His-Purkinje system (HPS) by the biomagnetic method have been reported on both normal subjects and patients affected by different kinds of conduction disturbances. A first attempt to interpret the experimental results by means of a theoretical model satisfactorily accounted for the measured «ramp» patterns. Moreover, a good temporal coincidence was observed between magnetic signals and invasively recorded His bundle electrograms (HBE). An alternative explanation of the «ramp» pattern, in terms of atrial repolarization, has been recently proposed on the basis of animal experimental investigation. In order to try to solve this problem, we have carried out a twofold approach: a new second-order gradiometer, specifically designed for HPS activity investigation has been successfully set up and tested; it provides a sensitivity of $$20fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ in the band width of interest ((0.5÷300) Hz). Second, a new model based on a closer correspondence to anatomical features of the HPS has been developed. This model provides well-defined patterns which are in quite good agreement with experimental results.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto In questo lavoro si presentano alcuni tentativi di considerazioni modello, basati sul concetto di dipolo di corrente equivalente per tener conto delle risposte sonore stimolate osservate, con lo scopo di tentare un confronto delle variazioni in ampiezza e latenza con calcoli basati sul modello di nervo altamente semplificato di Rall. Si presenta un’analisi fenomenologica dei dati sperimentali sul campo magnetico sonoro tardo evocato dalla corteccia uditiva umana. Qui si pone l’accento sulle relazioni tra le proprietà del segnale (per esempio, ampiezza e latenza) e tra le proprietà del segnale e le proprietà dello stimolo (per esempio, ampiezza/latenza e frequenza in discesa relativa Δf/f per uno stimolo con frequenza in discesa) piuttosto che su problemi correlati con la posizione del dipolo di corrente equivalente, per esempio l’organizzazione tonotopica discussa da Elberlinget al. e Romaniet al. Si presentano alcuni risultati di un calcolo numerico basato su un modello a cavo lineare e li si confronta con i risultati sperimentali.
    Notes: Summary In this paper we present some tentative model considerations, based on the concept of an equivalent current dipole to account for observed auditory evoked responses, with the aim of attempting a comparison of variations in amplitude and latency with calculations based on Rall’s greatly simplified nerve model. A phenomenological analysis of experimental data on the late, auditory evoked magnetic field from the human auditory cortex is presented. The emphasis is here placed on relations between signal properties (e.g. amplitude and latency) and between signal properties and stimulus properties (e.g. amplitude/latency and relative frequency glide Δf/f for a frequency glide stimulus) rather than on questions related to the location of the equivalent current dipole,e.g. the tonotopic organization discussed by Elberlinget al. and by Romaniet al.. Some results of a numerical calculation based on a linear-cable model are presented and compared with experimental results.

The activity at the auditory cortices, 2.6 cm beneath the skull, explains the observed $$\overline {N100m}$$ field distribution. An additional current source near the vertex is needed to explain the corresponding potential distributions. The locations of the current sources of $$\overline {N100m}$$ did not show any systematic dependence on the tonal frequency.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Sono stati registrati campi magnetici uditivi indotti (AEF) e potenziali uditivi indotti EEG (AEP) dalle regioni corticali uditive destra e sinistra di 12 soggetti normali adulti. Il sensore magnetico era un gradiometro SQUID a forma di otto con una linea di base di 4 cm orientato in modo da essere massimamente sensibile a un dipolo di corrente orientato perpendicolarmente alla fissure di Sylvio. Gli stimoli erano impulsi sonori di 1 kHz, lunghi 100 ms con un intervallo modale tra stimoli di 700 ms emessi a livelli di pressione sonora di 40, 60, 80 e 100 dB. Si è trovato che l’ampiezza AEF è correlata all’intensità dello stimolo in modo quadratico, l’ampiezza AEP in modo, lineare. Gli AEF erano di ampiezza maggiore in risposta alla stimolazione contralaterale che in risposta alla stimolazione ipsilaterale. Gli AEP non presentano questa relazione. In un secondo esperimento gli AEF e AEP dell’emisfero destro in risposta al tono di stimolazione nell’orecchio controlaterale in questi 12 soggetti sono stati combinati con dati simili precedenti su 24 soggetti, ottenendo cosí un totale di 36 soggetti, per esaminare la comparabilità della forma dell’onadaP50 di AEP e dell’analogaP50 di AEF. Si è trovato che la latenza dellaP50 decrese in funzione dell’intensità crescente dello stimolo sia per AEF che per AEP, e che la latenza diP50 è decisamente inferiore nelle registrazioni magnetiche rispetto alle registrazioni del potenziale.
    Notes: Summary Auditory evoked magnetic fields (AEFs) and EEG auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) were recorded from left and right auditory cortical regions of 12 normal adult subjects. The magnetic sensor was a figure-eight SQUID gradiometer with a 4 cm baseline oriented so as to be maximally sensitive to a current dipole oriented normal to the Sylvian fissure. Stimuli were 100 ms long 1 kHz tone pips with a modal interstimulus interval of 700 ms delivered at sound pressure levels of 40, 60, 80 and 100 dB. AEF amplitude was found to be related to stimulus intensity in a quadratic fashion, AEP amplitude in a linear fashion. AEFs were of larger amplitude in response to contralateral as compared to ipsilateral stimulation. AEPs did not exhibit such a relationship. In a second experiment right-hemisphere AEFs and AEPs in response to contralateral ear tone stimulation in these 12 subjects were combined with similar previous data from 24 subjects, providing a total of 36 subjects, to examine the comparability of the AEPP50 wave form and the AEFP50 analog. The latency of theP50 was found to decrease as a function of increasing stimulus intensity for both AEFs and AEPs, and theP50 latency was consistently shorter in magnetic compared to potential recordings.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Sono stati registrati i campi magnetici del cervello che precedono i movimenti autonomi delle dita della mano, del piede e della dita del piede stesso, i movimenti delle dita della mano e del piede causati da uno stimolo e la parola. Sono stati trovati lenti spostamenti dei campi magnetici con morfologia simile ai coincidenti potenziali elettrici, ma con distribuzioni molto diverse. Si discutono le deduzioni ottenute dai dati sulla localizzazione dei generatori cerebrali.
    Notes: Summary Magnetic fields of the brain were recorded preceding selfinitiated finger, foot, toe movements, stimulus-triggered finger and toe movements, and speech. Slow magnetic-field shifts were found with morphology similar to coincident electrical potentials, but with very different distributions. Inferences from the data about localization of cerebral generators were discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Uno studio sull’attività spontanea del cervello in soggetti normali è stato eseguito con il metodo neuromagnetico. Sono stati usate 2 diverse strumentazioni per le misure magnetiche. Ambedue usavano gradiometri di second’ordine disegnati specificatamente per gli studi sul cervello: 2.9 cm di diametro, 5 cm di baseline. Uno SQUID r.f. e uno SQUID d.c. erano accoppiati ai gradiometri. I livelli di rumore misurati sono stati rispettivamente di $$40fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ e $$25fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ . In alcuni soggetti sono state effettuate mappe di campi magnetici generati dall’attività spontanea del cervello. Le mappe dell’ampiezza media dei segnali del ritmo α hanno mostrato 2 massimi dell’attività su 2 regioni simmetriche dello scalpo. Comunque, malgrado una generale simmetria fra gli emisferi, la complessità delle mappe misurate suggerisce una corrispondente complessità dei generatori responsabili dell’attività α.
    Notes: Summary An investigation of the spontaneous brain activity from normal subjects has been carried out by means of the neuromagnetic method. Two different systems were used for magnetic measurements. Both used 2nd-order gradiometers specifically designed for brain studies: 2.9 cm diameter, 5 cm baseline. A r.f. SQUID and a d.c. SQUID were coupled to the gradiometers. The measured noise levels are $$40fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ and $$25fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ , respectively. Thorough magnetic mapping of the spontaneous activity was performed on a few subjects. By mapping the average amplitude of the α-rhythm signals two maxima of activity over two symmetric regions of the scalp were clearly observed. Despite a general symmetry between hemispheres, however, the complexity of the measured maps suggests a corresponding complexity of the generators responsible for α-activity.

    Notes: Summary Ten pairs of reciprocal crosses have been made between wheat cultivars which show differences in their glutenin subunit compositions. The F1 seed glutenin subunit composition was studied by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). The results indicate that all the high molecular weight (HMW) and medium molecular weight (MMW) subunits (from 133,000 to 65,000 daltons) are transmitted to the F1 seed generation from the parental cultivars. In accordance with the triploid nature of the heterozygous endosperm (3n) and with the maternal and paternal gene dosage ratio (2∶1) in the endosperm itself, a significant effect of maternal parent is registered when comparing pairs of reciprocal seeds. Genes coding for the glutenin subunits are expressed whatever their doses are (one, two, or three) in the hybrid endosperm; thus the glutenin subunits inheritance is consistent with the co-dominant type. For one pair of the reciprocal crosses, two MMW parental bands (MW: 71,000 and 66,000) seemed absent in the F1 seed patterns while a new band with an intermediate, apparent MW (68,000) appears. This phenomenon was observed when the glutenins analyzed by electrophoresis were previously separated from other endosperm proteins, and not when they were directly extracted from the ground seed. We assume that the extraction can cause interactions between moieties attached to the subunits and lead to the formation of a complex having an intermediate electrophoretic mobility.

    Notes: Summary The study was carried out in the first year on samples of random F5 lines, uniform in height and in heading date, of three crosses between semi dwarf spring wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.), differing in grain weight and in their Rht gene. In the second year only the progenies of the early heading F5 lines were studied. All the material was grown in the absence of lodging. The culm-length genotypes of the different lines were identified by test crosses and by a seedling GA response test. No differences in grain weight were found between the two semi dwarf genotypes (Rht 1Rht1 rht 2rht2 and rht 1rht1 Rht 2Rht2). The tall genotype (rht 1rht1 rht 2rht2) was significantly higher in grain weight than the two semi dwarf genotyes and the grain weight of these genotypes exceeded markedly the grain weight of the dwarf genotype (Rht 1Rht1 Rht 2Rht2). These genotypic effects were independent of differences in plant height, heading date or number of grains per spike.

    Notes: Summary The effects of the ‘Tom Thumb’ Rht3 dwarfing gene in wheat on plant height, yield components and grain quality in field trials of random inbred lines from two ‘Minister Dwarf’ (Rht3) x rht3 crosses are described. Limited genetic increases in Rht3 plant height, up to 70 cm, were achieved by incorporating genes from the extremely tall variety ‘April Bearded’. Amongst lines from the higher yielding cross, the dwarfing gene did not reduce grain yield but was associated with an increase in grain number of over 25%. Although Rht3 reduced grain protein content by up to 0.8%, breadmaking quality, as measured by SDS sedimentation values and baking tests, was not affected. A controlled environment experiment with near-isogenic Rht3 and rht3 lines indicated that reduced grain size in the dwarfs is a competitive response to the increase in fertility rather than a primary effect of the dwarfing gene.

    Notes: Summary The use of irradiated pollen to bring about limited gene transfer in wheat has been investigated. Doses of X-rays of 2Kr, 3Kr and 5Kr were used to generate M1 progeny between maternal and paternal genotypes differing in quantitative and major gene characters. Cytological studies of M1 plants revealed hybrids with widespread aneuploidy and structural rearrangements in the paternal genome. These effects resulted in phenotypic variation between M1 progeny and complex multivalent formation at meiosis. All M1 plants at the 5Kr and 3Kr doses were sterile and all but 2 plants at the 2Kr dose. Studies of the two M2 families from these plants revealed disturbances in genotype frequencies for some of the marker loci with an excess of maternal homozygotes and a deficit of paternal homozygotes. This was also reflected in a more maternal appearance for quantitative characters. These results are interpreted as showing that irradiation damage to the paternal genome in M1 plants results in the differential transmission of maternal alleles.

    Notes: Summary This paper deals with the relationship of chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) and cytoplasmic malesterility (CMS) of maize, wheat and rape. Intramolecular heterogeneity and fragment patterns of DNA digested with restriction endonucleases were compared and analyzed. For this purpose methods of agarose gel electrophoresis and two dimensional gel electrophoresis with denaturating solvent concentration gradients were applied. 1) Heat denaturation of ctDNA from a male sterile line in maize yielded a profile with three melting regions. This base sequence heterogeneity was not observed for the ctDNA of its maintainer. 2) Maize ctDNA was digested with EcoR1 and BamH1 restriction endonucleases, wheat and rape ctDNA with EcoR1 only. No significant differences were observed in the comparison of the fragment patterns from the sterile lines and their maintainers with the exception of the sterile line in rape which lacked one fragment present in its maintainer. 3) Two dimensional electrophoresis using a gradient of denaturing agents revealed several differences in number and relative positions of the separated restriction endonuclease fragments between the sterile lines and their respective maintainers in all three tested crops. This raises the possibility that changes in ctDNA may be involved in CMS.

    Notes: Summary Crosses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Group 5 chromosome substitution lines from three different cultivar backgrounds indicate that there may be multiple alleles for reduced crossability with rye (Secale cereale L.) and H. bulbosum on both 5A and 5B chromosomes. No reduction in seed set was observed from any of the 5D substitution lines. It was found that the Kr1 locus on chromosome 5B had a more pronounced affect on both rye and H. bulbosum crossability than the Kr2 locus on chromosome 5A and that the effects of both loci were cumulative. The Kr alleles affected both rye and H. bulbosum crossability in a linear, or additive, fashion. The Kr 2 allele was shown to have little effect on H. bulbosum crossability compared to a significant effect on rye crossability. Tests with tetrasomic and nulli-tetrasomic lines of ‘Chinese Spring’ indicated that the kr allele is ‘null’ or inactive in promoting crossability while the Kr allele is active in reducing crossability to both rye and H. bulbosum. Thus, extra doses of the kr allele do not increase rye or H. bulbosum crossability in the presence of the corresponding Kr allele.

    Notes: Summary An analysis of the α-amylase isozymes in GA-treated endosperm of wheat nullisomic-tetrasomics shows that there is more variation at the α-Amy-1 and α-Amy-2 homoeoallelic loci than was previously thought. Among the 16 isozymes produced by genes on the group 7 chromosomes, most could be definitely established as products of a single homoeoallele. Inter-varietal allelic differences would be expected at such loci and clear variation was found in isozymes produced by chromosomes 6B and 7B. The latter allele, α-Amy-B2b carried by the variety ‘Hope’, was used to locate the enzyme structural gene within chromosome 7B relative to the centromere and five other gene markers. The nature of the α-Amy-B2b phenotype and the rare non-parental isozyme patterns found among the recombinant lines indicates that the locus is large and compound, probably involving some degree of intra-locus gene duplication.

    Notes: Summary Gliadins, here defined as those proteins of defatted wheat endosperm which dissolve in 70% (v/v) ethanol at room temperature, were fractionated by gel filtration using Sephadex G-100. The protein which eluted with the void volume of the column, often described as high-molecular-weight (HMW) gliadin, was fractionated by the two different, two dimensional gel electrophoresis procedures of O'Farrell (1975) and O'Farrell et al. (1977). The next two fractions to elute from the gel column, ω-gliadin and α-, β-, γ-gliadin, were analysed similarly. The subunits of HMW gliadin and the classical (i.e. non-aggregated) gliadins map at distinctive positions on the electrophoregrams, the majority of the HMW gliadin subunits being more basic and having a slightly slower electrophoretic mobility than the α-, β-, γ-gliadins. These experiments demonstrate that those gliadins which aggregate to form HMW gliadin are distinct molecular entities and thus coded by different genes to those gliadins which do not aggregate. Glutenin, here prepared by a modification of the pH 6.4 precipitation procedure of Orth and Bushuk (1973), was also analysed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The low-molecular-weight subunits were found to correspond exactly with the HMW gliadin subunits. Using the nullisomic-tetrasomic lines and the ditelocentric lines of ‘Chinese Spring’, the genes controlling the synthesis of all the major HMW gliadin subunits were shown to be located on the short arms of chromosomes 1A, 1B and 1D, as are the genes coding for the ω-gliadins and the majority of the γ-gliadins.

    Notes: Summary Studies were conducted to determine the influence of the male sterility-inducing cytoplasm of Triticum timopheevii (Zhuk.) Zhuk. on response of several common winter wheat (T. aestivum L.) nuclear genotypes to photoperiod and vernalization. Comparative studies of cytoplasmic substitution lines provide information on the role of the cytoplasmic genetic mechanism in growth and development. In the case of cytoplasmic male sterility-based hybrid production systems, ubiquity of sterility-inducing cytoplasm in derived hybrids warrants thorough characterization of its influence on plant phenotype. Factorial combinations of cytoplasm (T. timopheevii and T. aestivum), nuclear genotype, and photoperiod or vernalization treatments were evaluated under hydroponic conditions in controlled environment chambers. Interaction of cytoplasm, photoperiod, and nuclear genotype was significant in one or more experiments for days to anthesis and potential spikelet number, and interaction of cytoplasm, vernalization, and nuclear genotype was significant for days to spike emergence. Long day length was associated with increased percentage seed set in one study, but interactions of photoperiod and cytoplasm were not detected for percentage seed set. Interactions involving cytoplasm and photoperiod or vernalization were interpreted as evidence of the existence of genetic factors in cytoplsam of T. timopheevii which alter photoperiod or vernalization responses of alloplasmic plants relative to responses exhibited by euplasmic plants. Since photoperiod and vernalization responses are critical to adaptation, T. timopheevii cytoplasm can alter adaptability of T. aestivum. The specific effect would be nuclear genotype dependent, and does not appear to be of a magnitude greater than that induced by nuclear genetic variability at loci conditioning photoperiod or vernalization responses or other adaptation-determining characteristics. Normal multilocation/year testing of alloplasmic hybrids should therefore adequately identify zones of adaptation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Samenvatting In 1980 werden inoculaties verricht metSeptoria tritici in een veldproef met wintertarwe ‘Okapi’. De bladnecrose-voortschrijdingscurves werden bepaald. De S-vormige curves konden getransformeerd worden tot logit-lijnen. De geïnoculeerde en niet geïnoculeerde objecten verschilden aanzienlijk in de hellingen van de logit-lijnen. De halfwaardetijden varieerden al naar inoculatiedosis en vochtbehandeling na inoculatie. De verschillen in opbrengst (kg ha−1) waren significant voor geïnoculeerd tegenover niet-geïnoculeerd. De opbrengstderving van 878 kg ha−1 (gelijk aan 12% van de niet-geïnoculeerde controle 7045 kg ha−1)werd volledig verklaard door de vermindering van het korrelgewicht. De schade is aanzienlijk voor een cultivar die niet bijzonder vatbaar is. De opbrengstderving correleerde goed met de hoeveelheid necrose waargenomen bij de ontwikkelingsstadia DC=75 en DC=77. De necrose geïntegreerd over de tijd correleerde goed met de verlaging van het korrelgewicht.
    Notes: Abstract In 1980, field inoculations withSeptoria tritici were performed on winter wheat cv. Okapi. Leaf necrosis progress curves were established; they were sigmoid and could be transformed into logit lines. There was a great difference in the slope of the logit lines between inoculated plots and non-inoculated controls. The mid-time values varied according to inoculum dosage and post-inoculation humidity treatment. Yields (kg ha−1) and average grain weights (mg grain−1) differed significantly between inoculated and non-inoculated plots, but seldom among inoculation treatments. Decrease of average grain weight completely explained yield loss, which was 878 kg ha−1 or 12% of control (7045 kg ha−1). This crop loss is considerable for a cultivar which is not particularly susceptible. A good correlation was found between the amount of necrosis at development stages DC=75 and 77 and yield depression. The integral of necrosis over time gave a high correlation with loss of kernel weight.

    Notes: Summary Sea water dilutions having ECi=2, 12, 18 and 24 mmhos/cm, at 20°C were used for weekly irrigations of the wheat line RI 3748 (Triticum aestivum L.) on an initially non-saline calcareous loamy sand soil. The added quantities were 1.1, 1.3 and 1.5 times the weekly evapotranspiration. The vegetative growth (G), grain yield (Y), g/1000 grains and ECe were significantly affected by ECi and not by L. ECiXL affected g/1000 grains and the early G only. Soil salinity ECe (0–60 cm) increased with time. The ration between time-averaged $$EC_e (\overline {EC} _e )$$ and ECi indicated that the higher the ECi the longer the time to reach steady-state condition. These ratios were 1.54, 0.73, 0.63 and 0.56 at ECi=2,12, 18, and 24, respectively. Regression of Y on $$\overline {EC} _e $$ or ECi is a parabola. It indicates that about 27% decrement in Y occurs at ECe=12.35 or ECi=8.3 whereas the given value for wheat in standard tables of crop tolerance to salinity is 50% decrement in Y.

    Notes: Summary The growth and mineral composition of barley and wheat was measured across sequences of Solonetz and Solod soils. Growth of both species, along with root penetration was reduced on the Solonetz compared to the Solod soil. Mineral composition of the foliage and roots indicated that a Na−K interaction was present for the barley across the Solonetz-Solod sequences. Such factors were considered to be characteristics of soil—plant relationships on Solonetzic soils.

    Notes: Summary It was determined experimentally whether the amount of roots, viewed by endoscope in observation tubes (cm cm−2) is related to root density (cm cm−3) in adjacent bulk soil, determined by core sampling. For wheat plants the results can be summarized by the equation: root length (cm cm−2, endoscope)=0.29 times root density (cm cm−3, soil cores). Results for potato plants could not be interpreted as unequivocally as for wheat.

    Notes: Summary The periodide method for quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) analysis was modified to permit rapid screening of numerous replicate plant samples. This procedure provides a valuable tool for assessing salt tolerance. Aqueous plant extracts were used without further purification. Total QAC were precipitated as the periodide complexes at low pH. In neutral media, only choline periodide crystallized; other major QAC (e.g. glycinebetaine) were soluble at pH 6.8–7.0 QAC concentration was then determined spectrophotometrically. The influence of oven-drying of plant material at 80°C was tested by comparing this technique to lyophilization. Since QAC values were essentially identical from both drying techniques, oven-drying was used routinely because of its economy and practicality. The optimum range of acid concentration for precipitation of total QAC was established.

    Notes: Summary Significant interactions between wheat and lupins occur below ground and wheat intercropped with lupins has access to a larger pool of available P, Mn and N than has wheat grown in monoculture. This suggests that the wheat is able to take up nutrients produced or made available by lupins grown in association with it.

    Notes: Summary In two field experiments sown in 1982 to test the effect of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizas (VAM) on growth and phosphorus nutrition of (i) spring wheat and spring barley, (ii) winter wheat and winter barley, we measured the concentrations of the major cation (K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Na+) and anions (Cl−, SO4 2−, H2PO4 − and NO3 −) in shoot tissue. In all cases the sum of the anion concentrations (ΣA) was increased strongly by mycorrhizal infection but not by P additions, confirming earlier observations2 on spring wheat. The concentration of total cations (ΣA) was generally reduced by P additions, hence P and VAM both reduced the cation excess (ΣC−ΣA) but by different mechanisms. These results suggest that increased uptake of anions by plants with VAM may be a general phenomenom which would have important implications for the elemental composition of crops. The effect may also be manifested by other types of mycorrhizal association.

    Notes: Summary The fate of nitrogen fertilizer applied to wheat growing on a deep loessial soil in a semi-arid region was studied with15N as KNO3 measured by emission spectrometry. The soil N was monitored at the end of the winter growing season and again at the end of the dry summer period. Nitrogen was applied at rates equivalent to 18 and 6 g m−2. The wheat was grown in 1.25×1.25 m microplots and in 30-cm-diameter plotlets enclosed by a hard plastic pipe that was inserted 60 cm into the ground. The year was relatively dry, with only 200 mm of rainfall, most of it early in the season. Late rains fell after the crop had dried and wet the soil to below 60 cm. Plant growth was less than average and N fertilizer uptake amounted to 22–29% of amount applied. At the end of the summer, 34–65% of the applied fertilizer N was detected in the soil as available mineral N. The amount remaining in the soil organic fraction was difficult to determine but appeared to be between 5 and 19%. Accordingly, gaseous losses between 6 and 16% must have occurred during the growing season, probably during relatively short periods after heavy rains in January and March. The fertilizer application appeared to have caused a “priming effect” because mineral N in soil and plant from non-fertilizer origin, amounted to 12–17 g m−2 in plots where N was applied, compared with 9.5 g m−2 in the control plots. Nitrogen loss from plots with no plants on them was considerable (up to 30%) possibly because they were wet for longer periods.

    Notes: Summary Root development is described by a simple algebraic model which gives the numbers and lengths of root members of different orders in terms of time and a few properties of each order of root member. The model is tested against experimental results for the early growth of the roots of temperate cereals in pots or in liquid culture. The model is then used to simulate root growth and to explain the observed behaviour of four growth measures (relative multiplication rate, relative extension rate, mean extension rate, average root length) used in the growth analysis of root systems. Three principles governing root development emerge from the model and the simulations.

    Notes: Summary cDNA clones encoding wheat HMW glutenin subunits have been isolated from a cDNA bank made to poly A+ RNA from developing wheat endosperm var. Chinese Spring. One such clone, pTag 1290, has enabled us to identify the HMW glutenin mRNA species. The DNA sequence of this clone has been partially determined and it contains several tandem DNA repeats. The sequence is discussed in relation to the generation of the HMW glutenin subunit gene family. Analysis of the organization of the HMW glutenin sequences in the wheat genome revealed that the genes encoding HMW glutenin subunits exist in low copy number and are located on the long arm of each of the homoeologous group 1 chromosomes.

    Notes: Summary The overall morphology of the developing wheat embryo in relation to its neighbouring tissues is described. The embryo is “isolated” early in development, but appears to be a powerful sink for nutrients. It is supplied initially by hydrolysis of the nucellar parenchyma and later by hydrolysis of neighbouring endosperm cells, which are completely digested. Later on, the nucellar epidermis forms specialised cells that may be transfer cells opposite the groove at the base of the embryo. The accumulation of starch and protein appears to begin first in the basal tissues of the scutellum and coleorhiza.

    Notes: Summary Cell proliferation from the mature embryo of wheat occurs on a defined medium in the presence of 2,4-D. Unorganized growth is observed when the 2,4-D concentration is equal to or greater than 2 mg/l, but increasing levels of 2,4-D inhibit cell division. Cell divisions begin after 4 days in culture from parenchyma cells within and near the procambial tissues of the embryo axis. By day 8 continuous meristematic zones are formed in association with vascular tissues, and DNA synthesis and cell divisions are distributed throughout these zones. No morphological evidence exists to show that these zones consist of proliferating root primordia, which are formed only after the level of 2,4-D falls below some critical concentration. When the concentration of 2,4-D is lowered, the meristematic zones first become dissected and then give rise to many root meristems.

    Notes: Summary Tissue cultures derived from the scutellum of immature embryos ofTriticum aestivum L. (wheat) gave rise to somatic embryos with a well-defined scutellum and coleoptile as well as one or more shoot primordia and a root primordium. The normal somatic embryos were formed from compact, white callus tissue which was not observed until 4 or more weeks after culture initiation. The highest frequency of white embryogenic tissue formation and the most normal embryoids were obtained in the dark on Murashige and Skoog's medium with twice the concentration of inorganic salts plus sucrose (2%), inositol (100–200 mg/l), casein hydrolysate (100–200 mg/l), glutamine (500 mg/l), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (1–2 mg/l).
