The temporal sequence for the initiation of vitellogenin (Vg) synthesis in fat body, the accumulation of Vg in hemolymph, and the accumulation of yolk proteins in terminal follicles during adult development are described. On the basis of quantitation by rocket immunoelectrophoresis, the amount of Vg in hemolymph prior to 80 h after pupation was below 50 ng/mu-l hemolymph. At 83 h after pupation, Vg was detectable at 0.4-mu-g/mu-l hemolymph and increased to over 20-mu-g within 24 h after adult eclosion. Using immunofluorescent histochemical staining for Vg subunit yolk polypeptide 1 (YP1), the production of Vg was observed to increase rapidly in fat body between 96 and 100 h after pupation. Western blot analysis showed that YP2 was the first YP to accumulate in terminal follicles appearing at 96 h after pupation while the other three major YPs were first observed at 116 h. These findings demonstrate that initiation of vitellogenesis in terminal follicles begins around 96 h after pupation and involves the temporal coordination of fat body and follicle activities that provide Vgs before terminal follicles achieve competency to accumulate yolk proteins.

At the developmental stage at which the hemolymph of the unparasitized metamorphosing host has its maximum titer of prepupal ecdysteroids, the hemolymph of 4th instar "truly parasitized" hosts (hosts with a surviving endoparasite) had a strongly reduced ecdysteroid titer. However, during the photophase about 12 h later, just prior to emergence of the parasite larva, an ecdysteroid peak was observed in the host hemolymph. Fourth instar pseudoparasitized prepupal hosts (in which the endoparasite was not present or died early in development) exhibited a sustained suppression in the hemolymph ecdysteroid titer. Small 5th instar pseudoparasitized hosts, which normally would molt to a 6th instar prior to metamorphosis, but which precociously attained the prepupal stage, also had a strongly reduced ecdysteroid titer. The late increase observed in truly parasitized hosts could be completely prevented by surgical removal of the parasite 24 h earlier, resulting in a titer similar to that in pseudoparasitized hosts. HPLC analysis of ecdysteroids in normal, truly parasitized, and 4th or 5th instar pseudoparasitized prepupae showed that both ecdysone and 20-OH ecdysone* were suppressed in truly and pseudoparasitized prepupae, with ecdysteroid levels being lowest in pseudoparasitized hosts. These data, and those of Brown and Reed-Larsen (Biol Contr 1, 1 36 [1992]), showing endoparasite secretion of ecdysteroids just prior to its emergence from the host, strongly indicate that: (1) the prepupal peak in truly parasitized hosts originates from the endoparasite, and (2) the low level of ecdysteroids in pseudoparasitized hosts results from the host's intrinsic inability to express a normal level of prepupal ecdysteroid titer. While precocious 4th or 5th instar prepupae of similar size had similarly suppressed ecdysteroid titers, smaller 4th instar prepupae had a lower ecdysteroid titer than larger, precocious 5th instar prepupae. Rare 5th instar pseudoparasitized prepupae that were of nearly normal size showed a prepupal ecdysteroid titer distinctly greater than those of the usual smaller, precocious 5th instar prepupae. The data suggest that the competence of the host to express a normal hemolymph titer of prepupal ecdysteroids is more closely correlated with the size of the prepupae than with the instar attained.

Using [Ca-45]2+ as a tracer, Ca2+ transport activity by membrane vesicles in the enriched fraction was measured and shown to be ATP-dependent, with a very high affinity for Ca2+ (apparent K(m) for [Ca2+free]* = 22 nM). Ca2+ transport was abolished upon addition of the calcium ionophore, A23187. Ca2+-stimulated, Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity peaked between 100 and 200 nM Ca2+free. Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase activity was inhibited by vanadate, 2 phenothiazine drugs (trifluoperazine and chlorpromazine), and the naphthalene sulfonamide, W-7; the related compound, W-5, and ouabain had a negligible effect. These results suggest the presence of a high affinity plasma membrane Ca2+ pump in gypsy moth larval midgut cells and are discussed in light of earlier work involving calcium transport in isolated midguts of larval Hyalophora cecropia. Ionic and other conditions that characterize the midgut physiology of larval Lepidoptera (e.g., luminal pH; electrochemical gradient for Ca2+; effect of certain ions and inhibitors on Ca2+ transport) contrast significantly with those found in adult Diptera. The implications that these differences may have for calcium regulation are discussed. C1 USDA ARS, BELTSVILLE AGR RES CTR, INST NEUROBIOL & HORMONE LAB, BELTSVILLE, MD 20705 USA.

Following differential centrifugation of tissue homogenate, a microsomal sample is obtained and fractionated on a Percoll(R)-sucrose gradient that yields 2 distinct regions of high protein concentration: one enriched in plasma membranes, the other in mitochondrial membranes. The procedure is relatively rapid, being completed within approximately 5 h. Protein yields and accompanying specific activities are reported for marker enzymes used to indicate the presence of plasma membranes (leucine aminopeptidase and alkaline phosphatase), endoplasmic reticulum (NADPH-cytochrome c reductase), and mitochondria (succinate dehydrogenase). The apparent differences between the plasma membrane enriched fraction vs. brush border membrane vesicles prepared from insect midguts are discussed, as is the suitability of the plasma membrane enriched fraction for ATP-dependent calcium ion transport studies.

We have used an antiserum to PBAN to map the distribution of PBAN-like immunoreactivity (PLI) in the subesophageal ganglion (SEG) of the larval and pupal stages of the corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea, and compared this distribution with that of the adult. The distribution of PLI within the SEG of larvae and pupae was quite similar to that found in adults, suggesting a function for PBAN other than the stimulation of pheromone biosynthesis. In all developmental stages studied, three groups of nerve cells in the SEG, and their projections, contained PLI. In adults and larvae, most of the cells containing PLI also had FMRFamide-like immunoreactivity (FLI). In pupae, however, a number of cells which appeared to have PLI and FLI in both larvae and adults, did not contain any detectable FLI, while the PLI appeared unchanged. The FLI returns to these cells during adult development. These immunocytochemical observations were corroborated by quantifying PLI and FLI by competitive ELISA; the level of extractable FLI in pupae was about 25% of that found in larvae, while PLI levels were unchanged.

In the hemolymph of larvae maintained under natural conditions Mg2+ was dominant, whereas Na+ concentration was very low. In their natural diets concentrations of Na+ and K+ were very low, while those of Ca2+ and Mg2+ were high. In larvae continuously reared on an artificial diet, hemolymph Mg2+ concentration was significantly decreased and Na+ concentration increased more than fourfold compared to the results obtained in oak-fed larvae. Na+ and K+ are the dominant cations in the artificial diet. The concentrations of K+ and Ca2+ in the hemolymph of larvae fed natural or artificial diet are nearly identical, suggesting the existence of an internal regulatory mechanism in this insect for these cations. The hemolymph cation concentrations of M. funereus larvae are predominantly dependent upon the diet consumed, much less upon the environmental temperatures. The most stable concentrations of cations were observed in larvae continuously fed an artificial diet and exposed to different constant temperatures. There was much less stability in the hemolymph cation concentration in oak larvae fed either natural or artificial food after their transfer to constant temperatures. With respect to the response to the external factors studied, the most sensitive are the Na+ concentrations, the most stable seems to be K+.

JHE activity in the hemolymph of larvae injected with 750 3-day-old teratocytes (the approximate number from one parasitoid embryo) was depressed to less than 5% of those levels found in control larvae. During the latter portion of the digging stage and in the burrowing-digging (BD) stage JHE activity in larvae treated with 350 teratocytes was approximately 40% of control values. However, injection of 180 teratocytes did not significantly affect JHE titers. Two-day-old teratocytes caused the greatest reduction in JHE titer with decreasing effects observed with injections of 3- to 6-day-old teratocytes. Nevertheless, because 2-day-old teratocytes were difficult to separate from host hemocytes, 3-day-old teratocytes were used in most of these studies. Injections of nonparasitized H. virescens hemolymph plasma, Micrococcus luteus bacterial cell walls, washed M. croceipes eggs, or teratocytes from Cotesia congregata did not depress JHE titers. Teratocyte injections also significantly reduced growth of host fat body. Ecdysteroid titers in cell formation, day 2 (CF2) larvae injected as new 5th instars with 350 3-day-old teratocytes failed to increase, as compared to noninjected and saline-injected controls. An injection of 1-mu-g/larva of 20-hydroxyecdysone at the BD stage permitted normal pupation in 50% of the teratocyte-treated larvae as compared to 0% pupation for teratocyte-treated control larvae not treated with 20-hydroxyecdysone. Teratocytes seem to be responsible for the inhibition of JHE release and thus indirectly impact on ecdysteroid titers. C1 UNIV KENTUCKY, DEPT ENTOMOL, S-225 AGR SCI N, LEXINGTON, KY 40546 USA.

One of the two native proteins previously identified (protein I) is now shown to separate into two distinct bands (proteins Ia and Ib) using native gradient pore-limiting electrophoresis. The high concentration of proteins Ia, Ib, and II in larval hemolymph, their disappearance from hemolymph upon pupation, and an apparent hexameric structure shown by chemical crosslinking identify them as hexameric storage proteins (hexamerins). At least one chromatographic form of Ib isolated by anion exchange HPLC is now shown to bind riboflavin (Rb). Binding was also demonstrated by quenching of Rb fluorescence by a partially isolated mixture of the storage proteins. Lipophorin did not quench Rb fluorescence. Rb was heat-extracted from whole hemolymph and identified by its fluorescence spectra and by reverse phase HPLC with fluorescence detection. The two subunits shared by the three holoproteins have been isolated by sequential density gradient ultracentrifugation, gel permeation HPLC, and reverse phase HPLC. All three holoproteins shared the alpha-subunit (M(r) 75,000), while the beta-subunit (M(r) 71,000) was lacking from one of the three. Repeated passage through an anion exchange column yielded two of the three proteins (Ib and II) in homogeneous form. Chemical crosslinking with dimethyl-suberimidate indicated a hexameric structure for the holoproteins. All subunits and holoproteins stained as high mannose glycoproteins when probed with biotinylated concanavalin A on PVDF membranes. The alpha-subunit was high in Met, His, and Thr, and the beta-subunit was high in Lys. Both were high in Pro and had approximately 16% Phe + Tyr. Sequences of the 20 N-terminal amino acid residues of each subunit showed 45-60% homology between subunits. These coleopteran proteins also showed some sequential homology but no immunological cross-reactivity with storage proteins from the lepidopterans Galleria mellonella and Heliothis virescens.

Cells produced three hsps (M(r) 87,000, 69,000, and 34,000) in response to a temperature shift from 26-degrees-C to 37-degrees-C (30-60 min) with a concomitant decrease in synthesis of most other cellular proteins. Synthesis of low M(r) hsps was not evident. The heat shock response is triggered within 30 min at temperatures from 33-degrees-C to 41-degrees-C. At temperatures > 41-degrees-C protein synthesis was shut down. Within 2-3 h after return to 26-degrees-C, synthesis of proteins repressed at the higher temperatures resumed production while the major hsps disappear. Heat shock proteins were not produced in the presence of actinomycin D. Evaluations on the role of hsps in conferring thermotolerance to the cells showed an increase in cell viability in heat-shocked cells over non-heat-shocked cells (after 3 and 10 days) when subsequently placed at 45-degrees-C for 1 h, a normally lethal temperature. Heat shock alone had little effect on subsequent cell viability or growth at 26-degrees-C. These results suggest that hsps produced by these cells may aid in the maintenance of cell integrity and thus play a transitory role in thermotolerance.

Although two muscle layers were evident in the lateral oviducts, both consisted of an irregular lattice of longitudinal fibers with extensive branching. This branching between fibers seemed to provide a pathway for the spread of excitation because semi-isolated preparations of the oviduct severed from their connections to the central nervous system continued to contract in a spontaneous and rhythmic manner. Compression or shortening of the longitudinal muscles of the oviduct was the predominant mode of activity. Both phasic contractions (1-2 s in duration) and tonic events (15-30 s in duration) were observed. Innervation of the oviduct arises from the four major branches of the median abdominal nerve trunk that enter the ovipositor. Five to seven peripheral nerve cells were found along these four branches. Electrical stimulation of the severed median abdominal nerve trunk caused the oviduct to respond to a single pulse. However, these individual responses approached a fusion at 6 pulses per second (pps). Two of five preparations showed an inhibition of spontaneous phasic concentrations and a noticeable drop in baseline tonus during and after a 10-20 s interval of stimulation at a frequency of 0.5-2 pps. Endogenous electrical activity was recorded from branch nerves in the ovipositor after connections to the central nervous system were cut. Potentials of two distinct durations were evident in this recorded activity. The significance of this and other findings are discussed.

The genome length was estimated to be 156.5 kbp +/- 0.7. The genome comprises a region of unique segment (114 kbp) and two flanking segments containing tandem repeats. The size of each repeat was approximately 2.35 kbp and each repeat contained one Eco RI site and two Bam HI sites. We also examined two recent American field-isolates of BHV-4 and compared the Eco RI maps of the two isolates with that of DN 599. We observed the following: (1) insertions or deletions of restriction sites at the periphery of the unique segment; (2) variation in the lengths of junction fragments; (3) variations in the lengths of hypermolar Eco RI fragments containing the repeats; and (4) the Eco RI map of one of the American field-isolates resembles the BHV-4 "Movar type" of Europe.

Splenic sections from L60 inoculated pigs exhibited a large decrease in macrophage staining, whereas DR-II infected animals appeared more intensely stained in the macrophage sheath arteries. Class I and class II MHC expression was decreased in spleens from pigs infected with either isolate at 3 day post inoculation (DPI). This was reversed in DR-II inoculated pigs at 4 DPI. Splenic tissue sections from L60 inoculated pigs exhibited only a marginal increase in SLA expression at a later time, 6 DPI. We suggest that the recovery of SLA expression during infection of pigs with ASFV is associated with survival or replacement of macrophages in the spleen leading to an effective immune response against the virus.

This report summarizes the development of these monoclonal antibodies as well as presents information on the delineation of the virus-specific and group-common epitopes defined by these monoclonal antibodies. Virus-specific and group-common antigenic determinants were mapped by a variety of techniques, including analysis of antigen: antibody reactivity patterns, determination of N-terminal vs. trypsin-resistant core peptide-specificity, immunoanalysis of overlapping synthetic peptides, and immunoanalysis of bacterially expressed coat-protein gene products. Of those monoclonal antibodies that have been examined, monoclonal antibody-defined virus-specific epitopes are virion surface-located within the 30+ amino acid amino terminus, whereas the group-common epitopes are found in the trypsin-resistant core protein not usually located on the virion surface, as has been shown previously with certain polyclonal antibodies. New information is presented on the analysis of bean yellow mosaic virus amino terminal epitopes as well as on the identification of amino terminal antigenic determinants shared between strains of bean yellow mosaic virus and pepper mottle virus. A recommendation on the evaluation and use of a panel of potyvirus broad-spectrum reacting monoclonals as reference monoclonal antibodies for the detection and classification of aphid-transmitted potyviruses is also presented.

No obvious correlations were observed between either amino acid sequences or epitopes recognized by monoclonal antibodies and the natural host ranges of the potyviruses examined. Whereas the identified sequence motifs of the RNA helicase (CIP) and replicase (NIb) are predicted to be antigenic, most of the conserved sequences and epitopes in the CIP, NIb and CP were presumed to be maintained for structural rather than functional reasons. Three possible potyvirus clusters are proposed on the basis of the length and composition of the virion surface-exposed amino terminal extension of the CP; these clusters do not correlate with overall CP sequence homology, host range, or vectors, but are of potential evolutionary significance and hence of possible taxonomic value.

Thus virus nomenclature, but not viral taxonomy, has been decisively influenced by plant-genotype susceptibility and indirectly by host genetic resistance. Resistance to infection (i.e., host range) continues to serve a practical role in differentiating recognized viruses. Plant genes that confer disease tolerance or viral resistance remain a principal means of viral pathotype differentiation, as well as a principal control measure against major viral pathogens. Degrees of genetic diversity among isolates of recognized viruses should not be underestimated, and any system of viral taxonomy should be prepared for flexibility at the species level.

In most of the plant species, resistance to species of Potyviridae was simply inherited, either dominantly (60 genes) or recessively (39 genes). In some cases resistance was conferred by two or more genes. Symbols have been assigned to 86 genes, of which very few are duplicate entities. Resistance genes can be useful in determining relationships among these viruses, as well as for their identification.

Aside from this distinguishing feature, rymoviruses are similar to aphid-transmitted potyviruses in that they share a similar particle morphology, some similar antigenic determinants, similar physico-chemical properties, the ability to induce the formation of cytoplasmic cylindrical inclusions, and the ability to infect only graminaceous hosts. In vitro translation studies with wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) suggest that this rymovirus uses a potyviral proteolytic processing strategy to express the 3' terminal capsid protein. At the molecular level, limited nucleotide sequence data for WSMV show similarities with aphid-transmitted potyviruses in the potyviral capsid protein, large nuclear inclusion and cylindrical inclusion regions. Thus, given the similarities between the rymoviruses and the potyviruses, it is appropriate to include this genus within the family Potyviridae.

Here we report the deduced amino acid sequence of the coat protein of a California potyvirus identified by a variety of classical methods as PepMoV (PepMoV C). Comparison of the 3' untranslated nucleic acid sequence and the deduced coat-protein amino acid sequence of the PepMoV C isolate with those of PVY and other potyviruses indicates that PepMoV C is sufficiently diverged to be considered a distinct virus species. Thus, comparative sequence analyses of the PepMoV C isolate support earlier serological and biological evidence that PepMoV and PVY are distinct viruses.

Eighteen isolates of BCMV, five isolates of BICMV, four isolates of CABMV, and one isolate each of AzMV, and PStV were compared serologically using a panel of 13 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised against BCMV, BICMV, CABMV, or PStV in indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Four MAbs detected all virus isolates; one detected all isolates except those of CABMV. Three MAbs were specific only for serotype A isolates of BCMV. Four MAbs detected all serotype B isolates of BCMV plus all isolates of BICMV, AzMV, and PStV. None of the antibodies distinguished among these four viruses. However, in biological tests with 11 bean cultivars selected for differentiating BCMV pathotypes, all isolates of BICMV, AzMV, and PStV could be differentiated from the BCMV serotype B isolates by their reactions on a few bean cultivars in host group I and the cowpea cultivar California Blackeye #5.

Overall, we found no change in the total number of species nor in the mean number of individual birds detected. The mean number of individuals declined in three montane habitats (cloud forest, pine plantation, and coffee plantation), where structural damage to tree trunks and branches was often severe, and trees were still defoliated. In the mountains, higher proportions of nectarivores and fruit/seedeaters declined than insectivores. We found increased mean numbers of individuals in two lowland sites (wet limestone forest and mangroves), where structural damage to trees was also severe, but where new foliage was present. Mean numbers of individuals did not change in five other lowland habitats, despite varying levels of vegetation damage. Populations of several species declined in some habitats and increased in others, a pattern consistent with interhabitat migration. Population declines in montane habitats were related to diet, suggesting that Hurricane Gilbert's greatest stress on Jamaica's montane bird populations occurred after its passage rather than during its impact. Frequent hurricanes may contribute to some of the commonly observed characteristics of the Caribbean avifauna. C1 UNIV PUERTO RICO,DEPT BIOL,CAYEY,PR 00633.

The levels of BADH enzyme and BADH mRNA have previously been shown to be increased several-fold by salt stress. To characterise this induction more thoroughly, BADH mRNA levels and enzyme activities were analysed in leaves of sugar beet plants (Beta vulgaris L.) subjected to different salinisation regimes. Following a salt shock (transfer from 0 to 400 mM NaCl) BADH enzyme activity rose slowly for several days. In contrast, BADH mRNA level first decreased for several hours, and then increased. When salt was leached from the rooting medium of salinised plants, BADH enzyme activity declined, with a half-life of more than 4 days. However, the level of BADH mRNA declined sharply with an apparent half-life of 2 h showing that transcription of the BADH gene or the stability of BADH mRNA in leaves can respond very dynamically to salinity changes around the root. In plants which had been gradually salinised and then held at various NaCl concentrations, the steady state level of enzyme rose continuously between 0 and 500 mm NaCl, whereas that of BADH mRNA reached a plateau at 100 mM NaCl. In general, the observed BADH mRNA fluctuations could not be satisfactorily explained by assuming them to be responses to hydraulic signals. This suggests the participation of a non-hydraulic signal or signals coming from the root. The non-hydraulic signal is unlikely to be NaCl, because leaf disks exposed to salt concentrations typical of the apoplast of salinised leaves did not accumulate BADH mRNA. A biochemical messenger is thus implied.

For almost five decades, equations to predict soil erosion by water have been useful m developing plans for controlling soil erosion and sedimentation. The Universal Soil Low Equation (USLE) is the most widely known and used of the erosion prediction equations. The USLE presents a simply understood and easily applied technology which has been of incalculable benefit to soil conservation and land management. The Chemicals, Runoff, and Erosion from Agricultural Management Systems Model (CREAMS) contains a sophisticated erosion component based, in part, on the USLE and on flow hydraulics and the processes of sediment detachment, transport, and deposition. In 1985, the USDA in cooperation with BLM and several universities initiated a national project called the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) to develop a next generation water erosion prediction technology. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is an update of the USLE to improve erosion prediction in the interim before WEPP is adopted and to provide and adjunct technology thereafter.

Severe toxin-induced mortality was seen during the first to third weeks with 2.50 and 5.00 ppm aflatoxin (92.5% and 97.5%, respectively), compared with the mortality in control pheasants fed no toxin (0%). Slight mortality (less-than-or-equal-to 5%) was seen with OA and T-2 toxin. Body weights were significantly decreased by the lowest level (1.25 ppm) of aflatoxin by 2 weeks of age, by the two highest levels of aflatoxin by 1 week of age, and by 16 ppm T-2 toxin by 1 week of age. The feed-conversion ratio was increased by 2.50 and 5.00 ppm aflatoxin compared with the feed-conversion ratio in controls, although high mortality may have influenced the results. Aflatoxin had no effect on liver weight, but OA increased kidney weight in 3-week-old pheasants. Mouth lesions were seen in some of the pheasants fed T-2 toxin.

Aflatoxin induced mortality in bobwhites during the second and third week with 1.25 ppm (10%), 2.50 ppm (30%), and 5.00 ppm (40%), and during the same period with T-2 toxin at 8 ppm (20%) and 16 ppm (22.5%). Body weights of bobwhite quail were significantly decreased by the two higher levels of aflatoxin by 2 weeks of age, and by the two higher levels of T-2 toxin by 1 week of age. In Japanese quail, only the highest level of aflatoxin and T-2 toxin reduced body weight (by 3 weeks and by 1 week of age, respectively), and even then to a much lesser extent than in bobwhites (< 10%). Aflatoxin did not affect feed-conversion ratio (FCR) in bobwhite quail, but the two higher levels of T-2 toxin increased FCR. None of the toxins induced mortality or increased the FCR in Japanese quail. Aflatoxin increased liver weight in both bobwhite and Japanese quail. OA increased kidney weight in 3-week-old Japanese quail but had no effect on the kidney weight of bobwhite quail. Mouth lesions were progressively more severe in bobwhite quail fed increasing levels of T-2 toxin, but lesions were far less severe in Japanese quail.

A study was conducted to determine if these secretions could also be used to detect intestinal SE6 shedding. White leghorn chickens infected with 1 x 10(9) SE6 were sampled weekly using cloacal swabs, and the isolation rates from these samples were compared with alimentary secretions induced by oral administration of phosphate-buffered saline followed 45 minutes later with an intraperitoneal injection of 5% pilocarpine. At 9 days postinfection, isolation rates from the alimentary secretions were significantly higher than isolation rates from the swabs, and by day 16 they were double those from the swabs. In separate small experiments, alimentary secretions induced by pilocarpine alone also had significantly more SE6 isolations than did cloacal swabs on two of three sampling times examined. Direct culture of feces resulted in numerically but not significantly greater SE6 isolations than did cloacal swabs on two of three sampling times. These results indicate that induced intestinal material is a better sample source than cloacal swabs for detecting S. enteritidis intestinal infections in chickens and could have many applications in intestinal pathogenesis research.

The sequence of the NDV probe was generated from a highly conserved region of the NDV genome. No hybridization was observed with RNA isolated from other avian viruses, including avian influenza, infectious bursal disease, and infectious bronchitis.

It was verified that the JMV-1 cell line is an activated T-helper cell line that bears antigens indicative of T-cell activation, and it is not a natural killer or cytotoxic T-cell line. Furthermore, the JMV-1 cell line was shown to be unique among Marek's disease-transformed cell lines in that JMV-1 cells secrete factors that are able to stimulate in vitro natural killer cell cytotoxicity against the avian tumour cell line, LSCC-RP9, in a 4-h assay. Culturing spleen cells in the presence of JMV-1 supernatant for 4 h stimulates a significant increase in NK cell populations and in Ia-bearing cell populations, as detected by monoclonal antibody staining. These findings suggest that the protective effects against the parasitic and virally-induced lymphoproliferative poultry diseases, which have been credited to the JMV-1 cell line and to its cell-free culture supernatant, are in part due to lymphokine activation of NK cell cytotoxicity.

To better characterize the basis for synergism among MD vaccine viruses, three vaccine viruses from each of the three MD viral serotypes were evaluated alone and in various combinations for protection against early challenge with very virulent MD viruses in four replicate trials. Synergism seemed to be influenced by viral serotype because significant enhancement occurred frequently between viruses of serotypes 2 and 3 (five of nine bivalent vaccines positive), but rarely between viruses of serotypes 1 and 3 (one of nine bivalent vaccines positive) and 1 and 2 (one of nine bivalent vaccines positive), and was not detectable between viruses of the same serotype (none of nine bivalent vaccines positive). With some exceptions, the degree of synergism tended to vary inversely with the mean protective efficacy of the most protective component virus. Little effect of virus dose, virus dose ratio or type and route of viral challenge was noted. The combination of strains 281MI/1 (serotype 2) and WTHV-1/1 (serotype 3), both poorly protective as monovalent vaccines, consistently demonstrated high levels of synergism (over 300%) in antibody-positive chickens challenged 5 days post-vaccination with Md5 virus. This protocol may be a useful model system for further studies on mechanisms of synergism. However, mixtures that optimize synergism are not necessarily as protective as commercial vaccines.

An internal standard technique provided an integrated area profile characteristic of each taxon and allowed relative quantification of up to 34 compounds present in the extracts. Sagebrush samples were collected during 1984 and 1986 from various locations and seasons throughout northern Nevada. Subsequent discriminant analysis performed on relative concentrations among 31 phenolic constituents in the extracts for these six taxa revealed 100% classification agreement to morphological identifications. Two-way (species-by-plants) ANOVA indicated that all significantly variable phenolic concentrations arose from interspecific differences. Interspecific variability in phenolic concentrations among these six taxa appears to be greater than interplant, geographic, or seasonal variation. Whether or not interspecific differences in phenolic concentrations among these six taxa represent genetic or environmental influences has not yet been determined.

Because it is being developed for biological control of mosquitoes, detailed knowledge is needed regarding the longevity and germation of its fragile, mosquito-infectious spore. Spores responsible for horizontal transmission were extracted from 7-10-day-old larvae (reared from infected Aedes aegypti eggs) and purified by Ludox density gradient centrifugation. Mature spores were variable in specific gravity, being found throughout the 20 and 60% zone in Ludox gradients. The optimal environment for spore germination was dilute KCl at pH 10.0-11.0; ammonia inhibited germination. Osmotic inhibition was almost complete in both sucrose and polyethylene glycol at concentrations equivalent to 40 atm. The spores retained their viability for a maximum of 21 days at 23 +/- 2-degrees-C, whereas when held at 5 +/- 2-degrees-C, their viability was completely lost within two days post-harvest. Potential for germination decreased along with infectivity, providing a simple assay for spore viability.

Disease incidence was monitored in the same plots for five subsequent crops (three fall and two spring crops) without additional application of either pathogen or mycoparasite. Logistic growth curves were fitted to the data to describe disease progression over time for each inoculum level within each of the five crops. Within each crop, increasing the quantity of mycoparasite inoculum resulted in positive horizontal displacement of the curve with respect to time. As quantities of inoculum of S. sclerotivorum increased, inflection points of the disease progress curves increased at a decreasing rate. Thus, additional mycoparasite inoculum resulted in ever-smaller increases in inflection point, and after a certain threshold level of mycoparasite inoculum (< 0.2 kg ha-1), increases in inflection point did not result in meaningful increases in harvestable lettuce. Maximum rates of disease increase were not different among the treatments within each crop, but were different between crops. Maximum rates of disease increase averaged 3.4, 3.4, 2.1, 3.6 and 1.5% day-1 for the fall 1987, spring 1988, fall 1988, spring 1989, and fall 1989, respectively. At all inoculum levels, the fall epidemics began later after planting than the spring epidemics. C1 UNIV MARYLAND,USDA,STAT CONSULTING SERV,BELTSVILLE,MD 20705.

Analysis of three large data sets showed that the subspecies was rare or absent in areas with little older (i.e. >80-year-old) forest but with extensive stands nearing harvest age. The owls were also rare in areas with the small amounts of old-growth typically left after harvest operations. Old-growth stands in Wilderness Areas supported sparse populations of northern spotted owls, and their reproductive success was only about half that of owls outside Wilderness Areas. The results indicate that timber harvest operations, as currently practiced, lead to declines in numbers of northern spotted owls, and that currently protected old-growth stands are unlikely to provide enough high-quality habitat to maintain self-supporting populations of northern spotted owls.

Our study area was Siberian Outpost in Sequoia National Park, California. The plugs (either 1.9 cm or 5.1 cm in diameter and 10-cm deep) were transplanted in September 1981 and 1982 and without papier-mache pots and fertilizer. The most promising treatment (52% survival after four years) was to transplant large-diameter sod plugs unpotted and unfertilized. Water appears to be the main factor limiting existing plant cover at Siberian Outpost. Nevertheless, plants present in the gravel could not effectively use fertilizer, and some species were reduced by fertilization.

The opportunities for a SIMS contribution to resolve these controversies are discussed for each of the stable isotope tracers relevant to plant nutrition. It is concluded that for all major nutrients except phosphorus there are promising stable isotope tracers. At the same time, there are challenges to overcome in each case, with respect to background levels, peak interferences and sometimes sensitivity. Techniques of tissue preparation and handling are discussed in some detail, giving attention to the special requirements of plant tissue preparation and analysis for diffusable ions. It is suggested that adapting a preparation and transfer system, designed for production of bulk frozen-hydrated cryofractured specimens, to a secondary ion mass spectrometer would permit easy, rapid preparation. Additionally, this preparation minimizes several serious technical problems inherent to other preparative methods. Difficulties in quantitation are treated briefly, outlining some difficulties specific to plant tissue analysis. Prospects for future applications in plant mineral nutrition are evaluated, taking into account current instrumental developments.

Non-linear regression (NLR) analysis of the integrated Michaelis-Menten equation yielded fractional degradation rates, k(d), from direct estimates of the maximum velocity:Michaelis constant ratio (k(d) = V(max):K(m)). Degradation rates obtained using data from a series of 2 h inhibitor in vitro incubations were respectively 0 989, 0-134, and 0.037 /h for casein, solvent soya-bean meal (SSBM) and expeller soya-bean meal (ESBM). Degradation rates obtained from 2 h incubations had lower standard errors than those obtained using 1 h incubations; 2 h rates were not significantly different from 1 h rates, suggesting end-product inhibition was not significant at 2 h. The NLR Michaelis-Menten method was used to determine degradation rates for twelve protein sources: casein, bovine serum albumin, two samples of lucerne (Medicago sativa) hav, and four samples each of SSBM and ESBM. Statistical analysis of NLR results revealed significant differences among the twelve protein sources. Casein was degraded most rapidly (0.827/h), and the four ESBM samples most slowly (0.050-0.098/h). Degradation rate for serum albumin was 0.135/h; rates for SSBM and lucerne hays ranged from 0.160 to 0.208/h. Degradation rates estimated using the NLR method were more rapid than those obtained with a limited substrate approach; NLR rates were more consistent with in vivo estimates of rumen protein escape. Greater concentrations of slowly degraded proteins were needed with the NLR method to define curvilinearity of the degradation curve more accurately. C1 UNIV WISCONSIN,DEPT STAT,MADISON,WI 53706.

The spine (L2-L4) and femoral neck were measured by dual-photon absorptiometry, and the radius was measured by single-photon absorptiometry. Years since menopause, calcium intake, and initial BMD or BMC were included as independent variables in two-phase regressions of DELTA-BMD and DELTA-BMC on %IBW. Increased %IBW protected against loss of spine BMD [regression slope estimate = 0.05, 95% C.I.: (0.03, 0.26)] and BMC in women up through about 106 %IBW but not in heavier women. Increased %IBW was not significantly related to DELTA-BMD or DELTA-BMC at the femoral neck or radius. Women above 106 %IBW had significant gains in spine and femoral neck area (P < 0.05).

Using C-13 NMR spectroscopy, activation energies for interconversion of the E (minor) and Z (major) rotational isomers of 1-3 were determined from coalescence temperature measurements in pyridine-d5. A sample of N-acetyl-2,2-dimethyloxazolidine (4) was isolated for comparison. The rotational isomer of 4 was found by two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) to possess the Z (or trans) stereochemistry. Molecular mechanics (MMX) calculations on the E and Z isomers of 1-4 helped to account for these findings. The conformation of the energy-minimized structures resembled a C-5 envelope. Samples of N-aroyl-2,2-dimethyloxazolidines (5a-5n) were isolated and the rotational isomers were assigned the Z stereochemistry by NOESY and C-13 NMR experiments. Most of these 2,2-dimethyloxazolidines were ineffective in a bioassay for mosquito repellent activity. C1 USDA ARS,SCI & EDUC ADM,MED & VET ENTOMOL RES LAB,GAINESVILLE,FL 32604.

Heritabilities of moderate size combined with large phenotypic variances to presage relatively large responses to direct selection: genetic gains in growth of about 9% seemed readily feasible per unit of selection intensity. Strong genetic correlations (absolute value is greater than 0.6) linked growth traits with several traits that reflect growth rhythm and with defoliation from Meria needle cast (Meria laricis Vuill.). The results suggest that selecting for increased growth also increases resistance to needle cast but disrupts the growth rhythm typical of natural populations. Selecting for the rate of shoot elongation, however, should increase resistance to the needle cast, prevent the deterioration of growth rhythm, and still provide 70% of the gains in growth that would be available from direct univariate selection.

Total DNA of foliage from both of the parents and from progeny of a single Douglas-fir cross was digested with restriction enzymes and hybridized to a Zea mays L. mitochondrial DNA radiolabeled probe. Mitochondrial DNA was maternally inherited in this cross.

Franco) and red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) were studied in experimentally manipulated stands. The density of each species was varied systematically in a two-way density matrix composed of five monoculture densities and 25 mixtures of all possible pairwise combinations of monoculture densities. Roots and shoots were harvested after the fourth growing season. Response surfaces for root, shoot, and total biomass per tree were generated within the matrix. Regression analysis quantified the effect of each species' density on biomass components. Alder overtopped the Douglas-fir in all mixed stands. Alder density influenced the root and shoot biomass of both species more than Douglas-fir density. Douglas-fir density interacted with red alder density to influence all biomass components. While increasing the density of each species reduced root and shoot biomass per tree, allocation of biomass to roots and shoot was not affected by competition, nor were the allometric equations relating biomass to stem diameter and stem volume index.

On aging at 22-degrees-C, gelatinized starch having 11-20% moisture (T(g) = 112-30-degrees-C) developed endothermic differential scanning calorimetry peaks characteristic of enthalpy changes due to structural relaxation. The increase in area (enthalpy) of these peaks with time correlated well with decreases in ultimate elongation as measured by tensile tests of extruded starch-water ribbons. The rates of increase of enthalpy and decrease in elongation with time increased with moisture content. At moisture contents of 25% and above (T(g) < 15-degrees-C). high temperature endotherms characteristic of the melting of recrystallized amylopectin and amylose appeared. These data indicate that embrittlement of gelatinized starch can occur as a result of free volume relaxation during sub-T(g) aging as well as a result of plasticizer (water) loss by evaporation.

The polysaccharide can be produced fermentatively or by cell-free enzyme preparations. Alternan is resistant to hydrolysis by known endoglucanases, and is a poor substrate for most exoglucanases. Although its viscosity is lower than that of commercial dextran. concentrated aqueous solutions (> 12-15% w/v) are still difficult to attain due to high viscosity. Sonication of native alternan lowers its molecular weight from > 10(7) to < 10(6). The sonicated material can be dissolved in water to give solutions of 50% (w/v) or greater. These solutions exhibit rheological properties similar to aqueous solutions of gum arabic. A 'limit alternan' produced by hydrolysis with isomaltodextranase has an average molecular weight of approximately 3500, and is rheologically similar to maltodextrins of degree of polymerization (D.P.) approximately 10.

Viscosities (eta) were determined at temperatures ranging from 80-degrees-C to 22-degrees-C, and plots of log eta versus 1/T (K-1) were prepared. When cooked with EAA, cornstarch and waxy cornstarch showed major changes in viscous behavior between 50-degrees-C and 60-degrees-C. Above 50-60-degrees-C, viscosity increased markedly with a reduction in temperature; however, viscosity increased slowly below 50-60-degrees-C with an apparent activation energy for the process approximating that of water itself. The temperature dependence of the measured viscosity from 80-degrees-C to 60-degrees-C could be attributed to the large increase in size and complexity of the flowing particles as individual amylopectin molecules were bound together by complexed EAA. Apparently, complexing is essentially complete at 50-degrees-C. When high amylose cornstarch was cooked in the absence of EAA, retrogradation produced a sharp increase in log eta at temperatures below about 50-degrees-C. However, if EAA is present, association between amylose molecules apparently takes place via complex formation rather than retrogradation, since log eta increases sharply at about 70-80-degrees-C. Also, in contrast to cornstarch and waxy cornstarch, log eta versus 1/T plots for high amylose cornstarch did not level off at low temperatures. In general, viscosities increased with the pH of the system, particularly when eta was measured at high temperatures. This could result from improved complexing ability of EAA under high pH conditions, possibly due to reduced micelle size and maximum extension of polymer chains from micelle surfaces.

A parameter P(r), or 'performance ratio', defined as (water out)/(solute in) (wt/wt). was found to be a valuable index for comparing literature results of quality judgements of coated and non-coated, osmotically dehydrated foods. Use of a model system with a diffusion cell to obtain P(r) values partially eliminated the need for conducting large-scale experiments with each food. osmotic agent and coating. Three osmotic agents (69% sucrose. 96% glycerol. 51.6% dextrose) were tested in combination with ten calcium crosslinked polysaccharide ionotropic gel coatings and two coatings produced by evaporation of ethyl cellulose in ethanol. When glycerol was used as an osmotic agent. the highest P(r) values were obtained with an ethyl cellulose coating. When a calcium ion crosslinked polymer coating was used, the greatest P(r) values were obtained with 69% sucrose as the osmotic agent and aqueous 3% low-methoxyl pectin solution in the coating.

Water dispersions of starch at either 1 or 5% solid were combined with solutions of EAA in aqueous ammonia. Mixtures were air-dried, and the resulting composite films were then extracted with a solution of 1,1,2-trichloroethane, isopropanol, and toluene (15:15:70, by volume) to remove uncomplexed EAA. EAA content of composites after extraction was determined by FTIR. Because of its inability to form helical inclusion complexes with EAA, the microbial polysaccharide dextran was used to establish extraction conditions. Pretreatment of polysaccharide-EAA composites with methanol-water prior to extraction was essential for efficient removal of uncomplexed EAA. It was also necessary that methanol-water solutions be acidified to convert any residual ammonium carboxylate in the composite to carboxylic acid. The amount of FAA complexed by starch increased with an increase in the temperature used for gelatinization and also with the amylose content of the starch sample. Jet-cooked starch samples afforded the highest levels of complexation. Complex formation with cornstarch was not enhanced by the removal of amounts of lipid. Increased complexing of EAA was observed if composites were prepared at 1% as opposed to 5% solids. Under these conditions, complex formation with potato starch was about the same as that observed with cornstarch, indicating that phosphate substituents in potato starch do not influence complexing ability.

Much of the excess ammonia is volatilized during jet-cooking. and cooked dispersions had pH values of about 9, depending on the amount of EAA solution used relative to starch. Viscosities were continuously measured as dispersions were cooled from 90 to 22-degrees-C. Addition of as little as 0.5% EAA based on starch significantly increased the viscosity of a cooked starch dispersion, and viscosities increased with the amount of EAA added. The maximum viscosity and the shape of the viscosity versus time/temperature curve varied with the particular starch variety used. Hot starch-EAA dispersions were poured into molds to allow the formation of gels on cooling. Gel rigidity was measured by subjecting these gels to uniaxial compression in an Instron testing machine. The ability to form a gel depended on the starch variety used, but more importantly on the presence of EAA and the starch-EAA ratio. The most rigid gel tested was prepared from 5% Amylomaize VII (amylose content 70%) without EAA. Addition of 5% EAA based on starch softened the gel, indicating interference of EAA with amylose retrogradation during gelation. Contrary to these results, cornstarch (containing about 30% amylose) gave a firm gel at 5% solids when cooked with 5% EAA (based on starch), whereas gels too soft for testing were obtained with EAA levels less than 5%. With waxy cornstarch and potato starch, which do not form gels by themselves, EAA levels of 10% (based on starch) were required to obtain gels rigid enough to test. Addition of EAA may, therefore, either increase or decrease gel rigidity depending upon how readily a particular starch will form a gel by itself (through amylose retrogradation) in the absence of additives. Apparent cross-link densities were also calculated from compressional data. C1 USDA ARS,NATL CTR AGR UTILIZAT RES,PLANT POLYMER RES,PEORIA,IL 61604.

The principle involves a dehydrative-hydrolytic generation of n-butyraldehyde from the 2-hydroxybutyl starch ether substituent in concentrated sulfuric acid. The resultant hydrolyzate containing the aldehyde and allylic species of the substituent is complexed with 2,2-dihydroxyindan-1,3-dione (ninhydrin) in bisulfite giving a colored complex the absorbance intensity of which can be determined by a spectrophotometer at 470 nm. From the maximum intensity observed the concentration of butyraldehyde in the sample is derived by interpolation on a standard curve. The percentage of 2-hydroxybutane in the sample is calculated by comparison of the concentration of substituent to that of the hydrolyzed starting material. The MS is then calculated from the per cent substituent. RP HARRYOKURU, RE (reprint author), USDA ARS,NATL CTR AGR UTILIZAT RES,BIOPOLYMER RES UNIT,1815 N UNIV ST,PEORIA,IL 61604, USA.

Field-by-field playback of tape-recorded sequences yielded the first serial illustrations and kinematic analysis of the explosive discharge of the polar filament and the sporoplasm. The filament emerges from the anterior pole of the spore in a regularly pitched helicoidal course along a nearly straight axis, with a mean maximum instant velocity of 105-mu-m/s. Just before elongation is completed the filament tip follows a tortuous path that often results in a curved or spiralling terminal configuration. Then elongation stops and, after a lag that may vary from less than 15 to over 500 ms, the sporoplasm pours out at the filament tip forming a globule that quickly grows up to a size larger than its original volume within the spore. Concomitantly, the helical filament becomes straightened and frequently the spore body is pulled forward. Thereafter a relaxed filament, usually 5-10% shorter than when maximally extended, remains connecting the empty spore case and the sporoplasmic droplet. Experiments with hyperosmolar media produced a considerable slowdown of filament extrusion and often precluded sporoplasm discharge. The present results are fully consistent with the hypothesis of a hydrostatic pressure-triggered mechanism of spore germination, and revealed that the process is composed of two discrete phases separated by a variable lag: 1) complete eversion of the polar filament, and 2) passage of the main sporoplasm mass along the tube. The data provide a preliminary basis toward the conception of a quantitative physical model of microsporidian spore germination.

The monomers were reacted separately with cornstarch under various conditions in the extruder with ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as the initiator. The purpose of the study was to determine the feasibility of grafting substantial levels of monomer onto the starch within brief reaction periods of 3-7 min. Effects of temperature, monomer-starch weight ratio, starch concentration, CAN addition level, screw speed, and other variables in the extrusion process were studied. For comparison, starch graft copolymers from these monomers were prepared by typical 2-hr batch processes at relatively low material concentration, temperature, and shear stress conditions. In extrusion processing, starch graft polyacrylonitrile (St-g-PAN) copolymer products with high conversion of monomer to polymer (74-78%) and high synthetic polymer add-on (42-44% of product weight) were achieved within a reaction period of 7 min. Under similar extrusion conditions, add-on was 16 19% and conversion was 19-23% for AAm. Maximum add-on was only 6.7% for the CM monomer. AAm also was reacted with waxy maize to give 18-23% add-on. The waxy maize copolymers were more water soluble than the cornstarch copolymers. Results suggest that the continuous extrusion process could be particularly promising as a viable means of rapidly and efficiently producing St-g-PAN copolymers that are useful after saponification as commercial water-absorbent materials.

The primary interest was whether NIR absorption was more directly sensitive to a(w) or to moisture content (MC). Results indicate that NIR spectroscopy can discriminate between different MCs at the same a(w) but is much less sensitive to different a(w) at the same MC. This suggests that separate models are not required when using NIR spectroscopy to estimate MC of carbohydrates that have reached equilibrium along vapor adsorption and desorption pathways. However, the use of NIR spectroscopy to determine the susceptibility of starch and cellulose to a(w)-related deterioration processes may be confounded by their sorption history.

Corn flour was evaluated as a nonfibrous replacement for comparison. The water content of doughs (at a 500 Brabender unit farinograph consistency) was greater with treated fiber than with crude fiber, corn flour, or the control. Replacing as little as 5% of the wheat flour solids resulted in a significant change in mixing characteristics and extensigraph parameters. Mixing times depended on the fiber type and amount of replacement. Stability was less with the replacement fibers than with the control flour and also depended on fiber type. Extensigram areas and extensibilities decreased linearly and significantly (P < 0.05) as more fiber was incorporated, but resistance to extension increased. The magnitude of these changes depended on the amount of replacement and type of replacing material. Corn flour replacement had the least effect on farinogram and extensigram parameters. Adding a commercial wheat gluten to raise the flour gluten-solids ratio equal to the control did not completely restore mixing or rested physical dough properties to those of the control.

Numerous methodologies for the determination of serum LDL-C concentrations, in research and clinical laboratories, have been described. Here, we review the principles, performance, and limitations of major current methodologies for determining LDL-C concentrations. These methods include sequential and density-gradient ultracentrifugation, chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques, and precipitation methods. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of estimating LDL-C concentration by the Friedewald equation, the most commonly used approach in clinical laboratories, are addressed.

Herbage digestibility as well as mineral concentration may limit the amount of essential nutrients available to meet grazing animal requirements. A field study was conducted to determine the productivity and quality of a new selection of bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L) Pers.], RS1, which is capable of growth and persistence in areas where other cultivars of bermudagrass are likely to winterkill. Concentrations and uptake of mineral nutrients in RS1 bermudagrass were determined in response to N levels (0, 120, 240, and 360 kg N/ha) and delayed initial harvest (advancing maturity) at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after active growth began. Concentrations of P, Ca, K, Mg, and S in early season growth generally declined with advancing maturity. Concentrations of elements showed mixed response to N levels, and generally were not affected by treatments late in the growing season. Early in the growing season, mineral uptakes increased with advancing maturity. Increasing N levels early and late in the growing season enhanced mineral uptake. Mineral ratios, such as N:S and K (Ca + Mg), were within critical limits for adequate animal nutrition, but the Ca:P ratio was less than 2:1 and could contribute to known mineral-related disorders in male sheep. Herbage mineral concentrations of RS1 generally met or exceeded mineral nutrient requirements for sheep and cattle in growing or lactating physiological states.

The Walkley-Black method is widely accepted as a rapid procedure for semi-quantitative determination of organic carbon. In this study organic carbon values obtained by the Walkley-Black and Udy dye methods on 200 North Dakota agricultural soils were compared to values obtained by a standard dry combustion procedure. Values obtained by the Walkley-Black and Udy dye methods were highly correlated to the dry combustion method (r = 0.98 and -0.94, respectively). Comprehensive conversion equations for the Walkley-Black and Udy dye methods were, respectively: DC(%) = 0.23 + 1.17WB and DC(%) = 8.54 -8.63AV where DC = organic carbon by dry combustion, WB = percent oxidizable organic carbon by the Walkley-Black method, and AV = absorbance value by the Udy dye method. The Walkley-Black recovery rate averaged 72%. Recovery rate decreased with depth but was not influenced by soil texture or carbonate level. Values determined by the Walkley-Black method and appropriate conversion equations provide rapid, semiquantitative estimates of organic carbon for the entire profile of most soils common to North Dakota and portions of surrounding states and provinces. Use of conversion equations with values obtained by the Udy dye method, however, should be limited to surface soils low in carbonate. C1 N DAKOTA STATE UNIV,DEPT SOIL SCI,FARGO,ND 58105.

Plant samples sometimes are too small to make good pellets and to provide good XRF analyses. Leaf tissue was mixed with cellulose or boric acid at different ratios to assess whether pellets from these mixtures could be analyzed by XRF and to determine the effects of these inert substances on analysis of Al, Ca, Cl, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, P, S, Si, and Zn. Concentrations of all elements decreased linearly at all leaf/cellulose ratios. Concentrations of Mn, Fe, Zn, and Cu decreased linearly at all leaf/boric acid ratios, but concentrations of the other elements decreased linearly only when leaf/boric acid ratios were above about 40/60, and decreases in concentration of these other elements were more pronounced at leaf/boric acid ratios below 40/60. Concentrations of P, S, Cl, K, Mg, Ca, Si, and Al were higher in leaf/boric acid than in leaf/cellulose pellets, and similar concentrations were noted for Cu, Mn, Fe, and Zn in both kinds of pellets. Mechanically shaking cellulose with leaf tissue generally resulted in higher mineral element concentrations than if samples were mixed by hand. Cellulose would be the preferred inert substance to mix with plant samples if plant samples are below approximately 40 mg in size. Small samples of plant tissue can effectively be analyzed by XRF when mixed with cellulose or boric acid. C1 UNIV NEBRASKA,DEPT AGRON,LINCOLN,NE 68583.

This study was a factorial combination of LN and FN rates applied to the soil surface of pots in which grass (Lolium perenne L.) was previously established. Treatments were imposed twice; first with LN enriched and FN unenriched with N-15, then again with FN enriched and LN unenriched with N-15. LN and FN sources were hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) and (NH4)2SO4, respectively. Plants were clipped periodically for 10 weeks. Aboveground tissue was analyzed for dry weight, N concentration, and N-15. The N-15 enrichment of the soil total N was determined at the end of the experiment. More LN than FN remained in soil at the end of the experiment. LN was about half as efficient as FN in producing plant dry matter. Recovery of LN in plants averaged 44% less than FN when each source was present alone. When LN and FN were present together at equal rates, their percent recoveries in plants were similar to one another. Recovery of FN in plants was reduced with LN, although recovery of LN was not negatively affected by FN. C1 UNIV KENTUCKY,DEPT AGRON,LEXINGTON,KY 40546. USDA ARS,LEXINGTON,KY 40546.

Soil N tests and wheat leaf N concentrations have been taken in the spring at the late tillering stage (Feekes 5) to document a crop N deficiency and to make fertilizer N recommendations. The chlorophyll meter offers another possible technique to estimate crop N status and determine the need for additional N fertilizer. Results with the chlorophyll meter indicate a positive association between chlorophyll meter readings and grain yield, leaf N concentration and soil NH4-N plus NO3-N. Additional tests are needed to evaluate other factors such as differences among locations, cultivars, soil moisture and profile N status. C1 COLORADO STATE UNIV,DEPT AGRON,FT COLLINS,CO 80523.

Treatments included wood ash, wood ash and lime admixtures, and lime amendments (ash amendment ranged from 0 to 20.17 and lime amendment from 0 to 4.06 g/kg soil on a dry weight basis). Treatments were compared for influence on soil pH, capacity to supply mineral nutrients to spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. 'America'), and for effects on soil nutrient retention, leaching and electrical conductivity (EC). Plant dry weight did not differ within lime alone or wood ash alone treatments. However, in admixtures of the two, plant dry weight increased with increasing rate of wood ash addition. Wood ash containing amendments had a greater positive effect on soil pH than did lime only treatments. Wood ash treatments increased soil EC, while lime only treatments had no effect. Losses of mineral elements decreased with successive leachings for treated and control soils. Calcium, K, and Na were leached from the soil in greater amounts from wood-ash treated soil. Leached Mg, however, was attributed to the soil and not to the amendment. Soil K and Ca at harvest increased linearly with increasing wood-ash rate, whereas Mg decreased linearly with decreasing lime rate. Extractable soil P, Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn increased with wood ash amendment. Soil Al decreased linearly with wood ash amendment in the wood ash-lime admixtures. Plant Mg uptake was proportional to extractable soil Mg content. Plant K followed the same trend but reached a maximum at 150 mg/kg plant dry weight. Mn and P increased linearly as wood ash amendment increased. Plant Al, Cu, Fe, and Zn increased only in the wood ash-lime admixtures. The results of this study suggest that wood ash might be more appropriately used as a liming complement rather than as a replacement.

Aggregate size distribution was measured for the 0-to-3 mm and 0-to-76 mm fractions collected from within existing ridges to a soil depth of 0.15 m prior to planting com (Zea mays L.), after the first cultivation, at anthesis, and after harvest in 1990. Selected physical and chemical properties were determined for air-dry aggregates in six size classes (0-to-0.5, 0.5-to- 1.0, 1.0-to-2.0, 2.0-to-3.0, 3.0-to-4.0, and 4.0-to-5.0 mm) collected from the two Iowa soils prior to planting. Temporal changes in aggregate size distribution were observed for both soils, presumably because of combined rainfall and crop management effects. Physical and chemical properties of soil aggregates showed large differences between locations and within size fractions when compared to the bulk soil. Clarion loam had relatively more consistent exchangeable cation concentrations compared to Edina silt loam, presumably because of sustained incorporation of manure and municipal sludge at that site. Soil aggregation and aggregate properties can be used as indicators to evaluate the effects of alternate farming practices. C1 USDA ARS,NATL SOIL TILTH LAB,AMES,IA 50011.

Few studies have addressed the effects of base media on decomposition and N mineralization, or the interaction between media and incubated materials. This experiment compared the decomposition and net N mineralization rates of four plant residues incubated in the laboratory in both sand and soil base media. Initially, CO2-C evolution was greater from residues incubated in the soil, while net N mineralization was greater with the residues in sand. After 11 weeks, cumulative net N and C mineralized from residues incubated in either medium were more similar, but differences between media were still present. The form of N recovered differed between the media, with nitrification absent or occurring at a low rate in the sand. Differences in the rate and extent of decomposition and net N mineralization from plant materials were evident. These differences could influence the interpretation of results from this type of experiment. C1 UNIV ALASKA,SCH AGR & LAND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT,FAIRBANKS,AK 99775.

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a valuable perennial warm-season pasture species generally regarded as tolerant to stress conditions, i.e., infertile, dry, or low pH soils; however, switchgrass has not been studied for variability in acid soil tolerance. The objectives of this study were (a) to compare the responses of different switchgrass entries to soil acidity, and (b) to identify selected agribotanical trait response to unlimed (-L) and limed (+L) soil. Sixteen entries (cultivars, germplasms, and breeding populations) were studied in short- and meso-term experiments. Unlimed (pH 4.9) and limed (pH 5.9) treatments of a sandy loam soil (Typic Dystrochrept) were used in both experiments. Switchgrass seedlings were exceptionally tolerant of soil acidity in the short-term experiment. In the meso-term experiment, acid soil stress significantly reduced all agribotanical traits (plant height, leaf area, top weight, and root weight) determined in the study when compared to +L plants. There were significant, positive correlations among the agribotanical traits; however, the effect of -L soil was more obvious on root weight and less so on plant height. Entries 922 GST6, 920 AST6, 921 DST6, and 922 BST6 showed superior general adaptability and promising forage production, while cultivars Carthage and PI 142138 were acid soil tolerant with low productivity. Our data suggests that selection for increased acid soil tolerance in switchgrass may be possible and would result in improved productivity of this grass in acid soil environments.

Environmental concerns related to N fertilizer will require producers to improve N management practices to reduce the potential for nitrate leaching. Applying fertilizer N on an ''As Needed'' basis rather than using a ''Lump Sum'' approach has both environmental and economic advantages. Com leaf disk N concentrations and SPAD 502 chlorophyll meter readings from N rate studies were compared at silking for a variety of hybrids at several locations. Data indicated that chlorophyll meter readings correlated well with leaf N concentrations for a given hybrid and location. Calibration of chlorophyll meters to determine crop N status may not be practical because of the unique ''greenness'' characteristics of different hybrids. However, normalization procedures can be used to standardize the tissue testing approach across hybrids, locations, and growth stages. This can be achieved by comparing chlorophyll meter readings from well fertilized rows to those from the test area. Application of this technology by consultants and producers may require an adequately fertilized area of the field that can be used as a reference for local growing conditions. C1 USDA ARS,AKRON,CO.

In this study, two acid soils, one nearly neutral soil, and two alkaline soils were used to determine the effect of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizers on soil pH and tree response in the greenhouse. All of the above soils, except one, contained low levels of available soil phosphorus (5 to 13 ppm) as determined by the sodium bicarbonate test. The moderate and high rates of fertilizers induced lower soil pH in all soils tested. In one soil of moderate acidity, ammonium sulfate reduced soil pH more than the other N and P fertilizers tested whereas calcium nitrate reduced soil pH only slightly. In most cases, mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP) fertilizer reduced soil pH slightly more than the other N and P fertilizers tested. Uptake of N and P in apple leaves was higher with increased rates of N and P fertilizers (MAP), but tree growth was not always significantly improved. This indicates a possible reduction of growth with lower pH or high salt concentrations in the soil. RP RAESE, JT (reprint author), USDA ARS,TREE FRUIT RES LAB,WENATCHEE,WA 98801, USA.

In dry ashing, two parameters were varied: ashing aids and length of oxidation period. In wet acid digestion, two different mineral acids were used and the length of the oxidation period was varied between 12 and 24 h. Results showed that samples treated with sulfuric acid in dry ashing had the lowest recoveries of B. Boron concentrations in tissues oxidized for 12 h in wet acid digestions were at least 40% higher than the results obtained for any dry ashing technique.

Objectives of our research were: (1) to develop corrected anti-log population (CALP) M-DRIS norms for N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Mn, Zn, Fe, and S from nutrient analyses of soybean seeds; (2) to determine their accuracy in evaluating the N, P, K, Mn, Zn, and S status of soybeans; and (3) to compare the variability of soybean CALP leaf and seed norms. Results show that CALP norms developed from 1262 seed samples collected in the continental United States during a 13-year period detected all P, Mn, and Zn deficiencies, but incorrectly diagnosed N, P, K, Mn, Zn, and S as deficient in a large number of situations. This shows that the n/dm, p/dm, k/dm, mn/dm, zn/dm, and s/dm data base means were inflated, and these values must be adjusted before accurate diagnoses can be obtained. Results also indicate that the nutrient variability in CALP seed norms compared favorably to those in leaves. This suggests that soybean seed analyses have potential as a nutrient diagnostic tool.

The description includes microscopic details observed both with light and transmission electron microscopy. Mainly stages from tissue are illustrated, but information is also presented on the development of the organism after inoculation onto monolayers of bovine monocytes. It is believed that the large numbers of organisms observed in this horse were due to its having not received prior treatment with trimethoprim-sulphonamide and the large amounts of corticosteroids that were administered in order to facilitate isolation of the pathogen.

Cellulose, the major component of plant fiber, is digested in the rumen by an assemblage of anaerobic bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. While pure cellulose itself is completely digestible under the proper environmental conditions, the matrix interactions among structural biopolymers in natural plant material prevent the complete digestion of the cellulose component. Ruminal bacterial are probably the most active cellulose degraders in the rumen, but the fungi also play an important role, particularly in the physical disruption of recalcitrant tissue to render the cellulose more accessible to degradative enzymes. Cellulose degradation in the rumen is enhanced by attachment of microbial cells to the substrate and by synergistic interactions with noncellulolytic microbes, but is inhibited by factors that produce a low ruminal pH. Recent advances in continuous culture techniques and in the molecular biology of cellulase enzymes have permitted a better understanding of the cellulolytic process. Enhancement of ruminal cellulose fermentation will be best achieved in the near term by exploitation of recent improvements in the technology of substrate pretreatment. However, advances in the development of improved rumen microbial strains and more digestible forage varieties may yield additional improvements in ruminant cellulose utilization.

Two important differences are the much greater stomatal conductance maintained in the field in the absence of water stress, and the reduced response of stomata to water stress in the field. This review paper describes and supports the hypothesis that the differences in stomatal behavior result from effects of temperature upon abscisic acid (ABA) metabolism. The reasoning is based on the following points: (i) controlled-environment experiments are frequently run at unrealistically low temperatures near the optimum for plant growth (almost-equal-to 30-degrees-C); (ii) higher temperatures in controlled environments change stomatal behaviors to resemble those seen in the field, and they promote the metabolic loss of ABA from leaf tissue; (iii) in the field, ABA concentrations in leaves are very low at high temperatures, and stomatal responsiveness to CO2 (an indicator of a role for ABA in mediating stomatal movements is poor; (iv) stomata at high temperatures in the field retain the ability to respond to exogenous ABA; (v) in the field late in the season, when temperatures resemble those of controlled environments, ABA concentrations of leaves and stomatal properties shift to resemble those seen in controlled environments; and finally, (vi) these shifts are unrelated to photosynthetic properties of the mesophyll. Evidence indicates that stomatal behavior in the field may be related to heat tolerance of the crop, with the very high conductances at high temperatures permitting substantial evaporative cooling of the foliage. Both plant physiology and agronomy need controlled environments, because these permit studies of stomatal responses to environmental factors in the absence of confounding variables. Such experiments must use realistic temperatures that simulate the field environment, however, to obtain results relevant to field performance.

We evaluated 29 commercial cultivars and PD germplasm lines of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), 12 modern and 17 obsolete, in two tests per year for a 3-yr period (1979, 1980, 1981). The soils were a Norfolk fine sandy loam (fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic Typic Kandiudult) and a Norfolk loamy sand at Florence, SC. We sought to determine what genetic improvements the new cultivars and germplasm lines had compared with the obsolete ones. Two modern cultivars, McNair 235 and SC-1 (a PD cultivar with extra fiber strength genes) produced 399 kg ha-1 more lint than the obsolete cultivar, Earlistaple 7, and 522 kg ha-1 more than the PD germplasm Line F. The rate of gain in yield of modern compared with obsolete cultivars and PD germplasm lines was 10.5 and 15.1 kg ha-1 yr-1, respectively. The actual rate of gain in related PD germplasm lines was 20.6 kg ha-1 yr-1. A regression analysis of the average yields in South Carolina and the South Atlantic states from 1961 through 1987 showed that yields have significantly increased at the rate of 8.0 and 9.4 kg ha-1 yr-1, respectively. These data show that cotton breeders have made continuous progress in improving lint yield, without sacrificing fiber quality. This trend can be expected to continue. Simultaneous improvements in lint yield and fiber strength can be expected if emphasized in breeding programs.

This study was conducted to determine whether crossing and the relative proportion of hybrids in a model three-flower-color marker system were affected by kind or combination of insect pollinators [honey bees (Apis mellifera L.), leafcutter bees (Megachile rotundata F.), or both bee species combined). A secondary objective was to determine whether actual expression of compatibility between flower color lines, as determined by hand crosses in the greenhouse, was altered by insect pollinator behavior in the field. Noninbred (S0) and slightly inbred (S1) populations of cream- (CRM), white- (WHT), and yellow- (YEL) colored flower markers were grown at Fresno, CA, and Prosser, WA. When self- or sib-pollinated, the flower colors of all parental strains were reproduced, while hybrids among the parental strains produced unique-colored progeny that allowed determination of the flower color parentage of each line. All pollinator treatments showed similar preferences for flower color (CRM > WHT > YEL) at both locations. Slight inbreeding resulted in more hybrids with WHT seed parents (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.001), and increased hybrid production by CRM and WHT with pollen from YEL (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.06 and 0.08, respectively). Bee behavior altered the proportion of hybrids produced in the mixed flower-color population from the expected line-cross compatibility. The location of seed production also interacted with bee preference for CRM and WHT flowers. Level of inbreeding, insect pollinator behavior, and location of production may interact and change the described levels of different flower-colored lines and result in genetic shifts in plant introductions, germplasms, genetic stocks, and cultivars.

This study was conducted to evaluate crosses among 11 insect-resistant breeding populations to identify paired populations for selection or extraction of inbreds. A complete diallel was evaluated for lodging, plant height, ear height, yield, ear damage by insects, and maturity in a complete-block experiment with five replicates at two locations. Locations were combined because errors were homogeneous and the crosses x locations interaction was nonsignificant. General combining ability (GCA) effects were significant (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.01) for all traits, specific combining ability (SCA) effects were significant (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.01) for all traits except yield and maturity, reciprocal effects were significant (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.01) for all traits except yield, and maternal effects were significant (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.05) for all traits except yield and damage by insects. Hybrid checks were earlier, shorter, higher yielding, and less prone to lodging but also less resistant to insects than were population crosses. Paired crosses resistant to corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea Boddie) and maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky) that performed well for other traits are available for selection and inbred extraction. Paired crosses with resistance to fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith) were not identified.

Our objectives were to determine relative contributions of genotype, environment, and G x E interaction to variation in quality characteristics of hard red winter wheat. Eighteen winter wheat genotypes were grown in replicated trials at six locations in Nebraska and one site in Arizona in 1988 and 1989. Harvested grain was micromilled to produce flour samples for evaluation of protein concentration, mixing characteristics, and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) sedimentation. Kernel hardness was determined by microscopic evaluation of individual kernels. Genotype, environment, and interaction effects were found to significantly influence variation in all quality parameters. Variances of quality characteristics associated with environmental effects were generally larger than those for genetic factors. The magnitude of G x E effects were found to be of similar magnitude to genetic factors for mixing tolerance and kernel hardness, but were smaller for flour protein concentration, mixing time, and SDS sedimentation value. Significant differences among genotype responses (b-values) were observed in the regressions of genotype mean on location means for each quality parameter. There were few instances of significant deviations from regression. Positive correlations between genotype grand mean and genotype b-values for flour protein, mixing time, and mixing tolerance suggest that simultaneous improvement in both mean and stability for these traits may be difficult. Based on these results, environmental influences on end-use quality attributes should be an important consideration in cultivar improvement efforts toward enhancing marketing quality of hard red winter wheat.

This study was conducted to locate sexual germplasm and describe the reproductive process in lehmann lovegrass. Purported diploid germplasm was grown in pots in a greenhouse. Chromosome number was determined and embryo sac development was studied and compared with another lehmann lovegrass accession. Self fertility, open-pollinated seed set, and mode of reproduction by progeny test were evaluated. Three accessions were diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and two were tetraploid (2n = 4x = 40). Triploid plants (2n = 3x = 30), discovered in the primarily diploid accessions, probably resulted either from the union of reduced and unreduced gametes or from fertilization of diploid plants by pollen from nearby tetraploid lehmann lovegrass. Diploid plants were sexual (i.e., megaspores were produced) and required cross pollination for seed set. Triploid and tetraploid plants were facultative diplosporous apomicts. Progeny tests were not conclusive. Although some diploid plants were clearly different from others, morphological differences were not sufficient to clearly and easily differentiate genetic from environmental variation. This is the first report of sexual reproduction in E. lehmanniana. This sexual germplasm will be essential to future genetic research with lehmann lovegrass.

Lab.] resistant germplasm was studied with the objective of identifying linkages of allozyme variation with ascochyta resistance genes. Such linkages, if found, could allow indirect selection of genes for ascochyta resistance. Eight F2 populations were scored for allozymes of four polymorphic isozyme loci. Five isozymes encoded by the loci Est-1, Est-2, Est-4, Est-5, Gal-1, and one previously identified isozyme locus, Pgd-c, were inherited codominantly. Linkage relationships among isozyme loci and genes for ascochyta resistance, growth habit (hg), and leaf type (slv) were also investigated. No linkage was found among isozyme loci, or between isozyme loci and ascochyta resistance; however, a loose linkage was observed between the gene controlling growth habit (hg) and the gene encoding for the cytosolic form of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (Pgd-c). Linkage of ascochyta resistance with the available isozymic variation was not found in this study. This was not unexpected, due to the limited number of loci segregating in the F2 populations we used. The inheritance of several isozyme loci was determined, however, and a previous report of a gene duplication in the Est-4/Est-5 region was confirmed. Hybridization of cultivated chickpea with closely related C. reticulatum Lad., the presumed wild progenitor, might increase the number of polymorphisms that can be used to locate ascochyta resistance genes.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of phenotypic recurrent selection for seed dry matter accumulation rate (DMAR) and seed effective filling period (EFP) on leaf senescence in selections of a maize (Zea mays L.) synthetic population, KyWVS. Selection groups included factorial combinations of high, same (same as Cycle 0), and low DMAR; and long, same, and short EFP. Cycles 3 and 5 were evaluated in the field in 1985 and 1986, respectively. Due to minimal interaction between DMAR and EFP with regard to senescence traits, each DMAR group was averaged across EFP levels and vice versa. Both DMAR and EFP were altered by selection, but the date of pollination remained relatively constant. As indicated by changes in chlorophyll, carbon dioxide exchange rate (CER), and photosynthetic enzyme activities during the grain filling period, selection for DMAR did not affect leaf senescence for either cycle. For both cycles, selection for short EFP led to earlier leaf senescence. For Cycle 5, long EFP genotypes maintained higher CER and higher levels of photosynthetic components at later sampling dates compared with the same EFP genotypes. In all cases differences in senescence were due to the time of completion, and not the time of initiation, of senescence. The results indicated that large genetic changes in DMAR can occur without any influence on leaf senescence. For this maize population, however, changes in EFP were closely associated with changes in leaf senescence characteristics. C1 UNIV KENTUCKY,DEPT AGRON,LEXINGTON,KY 40546.

Moench] and maize (Zea mays L.) in dryland conditions can experience environmental stress during grain filling, causing increased dependency on stored assimilate. Estimates of maintenance costs and efficiency of production of grain from stored assimilate are important for modeling yield production in such conditions. Our primary objectives in this study were to estimate the maintenance coefficient, the maximum decrease in leaf and stem dry matter, and the efficiency of production of grain from stored assimilate, all with severe stress during grain filling. We measured the loss of sorghum and maize stem dry weight and nonstructural carbohydrate (NCO) content and the increase in panicle and ear dry weight when severe shading stress occurred after anthesis. Extreme shading treatments were imposed from 7 to 8 d after anthesis until physiological maturity on three sorghum cultivars and a maize hybrid in the field at Temple, TX. Shading reduced the combined culm and leaf sheath weights of sorghum by 20 to 33% relative to the weights at anthesis. Measurements of NCO and dry matter of the maize hybrid indicated that 190 to 240 g kg-1 of the stem dry weight at anthesis represented assimilate available for respiration and growth. Mean maintenance coefficient values were 13 mg g-1 dry wt. d-1 for sorghum and 8 mg g-1 dry wt. d-1 for maize. Efficiencies of grain produced from stored assimilate were less than theoretical values. The importance of NCO stored prior to grain filling for maize and sorghum yield modeling appeared to be minimal. C1 TEXAS AGR EXPTL STN, BLACKLAND RES CTR, TEMPLE, TX 76502 USA.

Two accessions of this species (PI 428042 and PI 428109) were found to have similar-sized leaves, but they differ by almost-equal-to 30% in net CO2 assimilation per unit leaf area (A). We sought to identify physiological and anatomical factors that would explain the difference in photosynthetic rate between the two accessions, and between these accessions and the hexaploid wheat 'TAM W-101'. Photosynthetic responses to CO2 (at 20 and 210 mL O2 L-1 air), light, and humidity, and also ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (rubisco) activity and sucrose concentration, were determined on new fully expanded leaves of each genotype. Anatomical features associated with photosynthesis were determined using light and electron microscopy. PI 428109 showed consistently higher A than PI 428042 at varying levels of CO2, light, and humidity. Higher rubisco activity was observed in leaves of PI 428109 than PI 428042, as also indicated by a greater slope of the initial linear portion of the A vs. c(i) (intercellular leaf CO2 concentration) curve. A higher sucrose concentration was observed in the leaves of PI 428042 than in PI 428109. No anatomical differences were detected beween the two T. dicoccoides accessions. Therefore, photosynthetic differences between the two T. dicoccoides accessions were biochemically, and not anatomically, driven. C1 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIV,DEPT AGRON,STILLWATER,OK 74078.

We conducted two field experiments to evaluate associations among DELTA, leaf WUE, and shoot WUE (dry weight change/plant transpiration) in clones of crested wheatgrass selected on the basis of low, medium, or high-DELTA. The first experiment involved leaves of five clones from each DELTA-class, with WUE(i) and DELTA determined at two field sites. Mean DELTA-values are always less for low-DELTA than high-DELTA clones, but did not differ significantly between medium-DELTA and high-DELTA clones. Negative correlations were obtained between DELTA and WUE(i) at both the rainfed (r = -0.77**, df = 13, p < 0.01) and irrigated (r = -0.87**, df = 13) sites; however, WUE(i) of low-DELTA clones exceeded that of high-DELTA clones only under rainfed conditions. The second experiment compared the performance of three low-DELTA and three high-DELTA clones under well-watered and droughted conditions. Plants were grown in pots imbedded in soil. Soil water content in the pots was maintained at either 0.16 or 0.06 kg H2O kg-1 soil. Within each water level, values for DELTA and leaf intercellular CO2 concentration (c(i)) were less for low-DELTA than high-DELTA clones and were negatively associated with both WUE(i) and WUE(s). Even though shoot dry weight and DELTA decreased with drought, the two traits were not correlated for either well-watered or droughted clones. Across water levels, DELTA was negatively correlated with WUE(i) (r = -0.93**, df = 10) and with WUE(s) (r = -0.98**, df = 10). Results show DELTA in field-grown crested wheatgrass was consistent across sites and was consistently related to c(i), WUE(i), and WUE(s).

We evaluated yield and protein complementation between maize and winged bean to determine if intercropping can improve the quantity and quality of maize silage. An early and a late-maturity corn hybrid were intercropped with 'Tpt1' winged bean at plant densities of 35 900 and 46 500 plants ha-1 in 1984 and 47 500 plants ha-1 in 1985 near Lexington, KY. In 1984, increased plant density resulted in increased maize vegetation, grain, vegetation N, and grain N yields per hectare (16, 21, 19, and 28%, respectively), while intercropping reduced maize grain yield and grain N yield per hectare by 8% each and reduced winged bean vegetation N concentration by 11% and yield per hectare by 40%. Intercropping winged bean with early maize produced 14% more biomass and 39% more N per hectare than did the reference early maize monoculture at post maize physiological maturity. In 1985, intercropping reduced maize vegetation, grain, and grain N yields per hectare (7, 14, and 14%, respectively), and reduced winged bean vegetation yield, N concentration, and N yield per hectare (58, 7, and 61%, respectively). Intercropping with early maize produced 18% more biomass and 67% more N per hectare, whereas intercropping with late maize produced 11% more biomass and 46% more N per hectare than did the respective monoculture maize. Land equivalency ratios for both dry matter and N yields per area were greater than unity for each plant density and intercropping system. Intercropping of maize with winged bean may provide greater biomass and improved protein content of silage in a temperate climate. C1 UNIV KENTUCKY,DEPT AGRON,LEXINGTON,KY 40506.

Fall growth score sometimes has been used to predict winter survival in the absence of long-term tests. Our objectives were to evaluate the effect of seeding-year cutting stress on alfalfa cultivar winter injury and plant survival in several Minnesota environments (locations), and to associate winter injury with cultivar fall growth score. Seeding-year cutting schedules consisted of harvesting at intervals of 24, 30, 35, and 45 d at each of five site-years. The locations were Lamberton in southwest, Waseca in southeast, Morris in west central, and Rosemount (2 yr) in east central Minnesota. Average alfalfa stands across cutting schedules were 93, 72, 46, and 55% in the year following seeding at Lamberton, Waseca, Morris, and Rosemount, respectively. No differences in winter injury due to cutting schedules occurred at Lamberton because of sufficient winter snow cover. At the other locations, cultivar differences in winter injury were least for the 45-d schedule. The 24-, 30-, or 35-d cutting schedules produced severe winter injury that differentiated cultivars at Morris, Waseca, and Rosemount. The most fall-dormant cultivar, Rambler, generally had the least winter injury, whereas nondormant 'Nitro' had the most winter injury. Fall growth score was correlated with winter survival in stressful environments and explained almost-equal-to 45% of the variation in winter injury, spring stands, or yields for the 24-d cutting schedule treatment. Winter survival of alfalfa for the 35- and 45-d cutting schedules in the most stressful environment, Morris, explained 42% of the variation in long-term cultivar winter survival, while fall growth score explained 51%. An index combining seeding-year cutting stress results with fall growth score was a better predictor of long-term cultivar winter survival than seeding-year results alone. Alfalfa winter survival is a complex trait that is difficult to predict. C1 W CENT EXPT STN,MORRIS,MN 56277. SO EXPT STN,WASECA,MN 56093. SW EXPT STN,LAMBERTON,MN 56152.

Seeds of two cultivars (GC-510 and SJ-2) were planted at 0800 and 1600 h three days a week for 9 wks beginning 24 Feb. 1988 and ending 13 April. Emerging seedlings were counted and ranked according to their stage of development three times a week for 14 wk. Regression analysis was used to determine the time periods when EMER and SRDI were most sensitive to soil temperature. EMER was more sensitive to cool temperature stress when planted at 0800 than at 1600 h during the initial 100 h after planting. The most critical periods of stress for the two cultivars were the same (0800 and 1600 h planting times = +53 and +143 h from planting, respectively. GC-510 EMER was more sensitive to cool soil temperatures during the initial 100 h after planting than SJ-2. For both cultivars planted at 1600 h, EMER was similarly sensitive to cool soil temperature at 160 h after planting, a sensitive period not previously described. For neither cultivar was EMER influeced by day-of-planting heat units. Time of planting had no effect on SRDI values. GC-510 SRDI was less-tolerant of cool soil temperature than SJ-2 during the initial 30 h from planting (most sensitive at +2 and -6h from planting for 0800 and 1600 h plantings, respectively), but then relatively unaffected by soil temperature. SJ-2 SRDI was sensitive to cool soil temperature for nearly the entire 160-h period from the time of planting (most sensitive to cool soil temperature at +91 and +138 h after planting for 0800 and 1600 h plantings, respectively). There was no relationship between EMER and SRDI. Cultivars differed in response to cool soil conditions at planting. When cool soil temperature conditions are expected, rapid and high cotton emergence in the field may be achieved by choosing a suited cultivar and by planting in the afternoon.

Rearrangement of the integrated DNA was detected in several hygromycin B-resistant progeny from cross Guy11-T10-1 (a single-copy integration site transformant) x 2539 (sensitive wild-type parent), but not in hygromycin B-resistant progeny from four other crosses. Transformants produced typical lesions when inoculated onto host plants. Southern hybridization revealed rearrangements of integrated DNA in single conidial isolates of high-copy transformant 2539-T1-1 re-isolated from host plants, characterized by excision of one or more copies of the transforming plasmid. Plasmid loss and rearrangement were also observed within single conidial isolates derived from transformant 2539-T1-1 following ten asexual generations on non-selective agar medium. These examples of instability of integrated DNA in M. grisea transformants suggest that caution should be exercised in the use of transformation for assessing the phenotypic effects of specific introduced genes.

RIA would seem to provide the needed quantitative capability, but results of the following studies using inhibin RIA procedures reveal reasons to interpret inhibin immunological potency estimates with caution. Two sets of inhibin RIA reagents and various assay buffers were used. Initially, inhibin immunoactivity was estimated with an antiserum to a 32 amino acid peptide fragment from the alpha subunit of porcine inhibin [pI-alpha(1-32)] and tracer to the peptide with tyrosine added in position 0 to permit radioiodination, pI-alpha(0Tyr1-32). Later, an antiserum to pI-alpha(1-29Tyr30) peptide and pI-alpha(1-29Tyr30) tracer was evaluated as were several combinations of assay buffer and assay conditions. Both sets of assay reagents provided quantitative recovery of pI-alpha(1-32) peptide from plasma, parallel response between the peptide and either ovine or bovine plasma, as well as adequate sensitivity to measure inhibin immunoactivity in 25-mu-l of plasma. However, plasma from long-term ovariectomized female sheep, swine or cattle appeared to contain nearly as much inhibin immunoactivity as intact animals. To explore the possibility that the adrenals may produce sufficient inhibin to account for unexplained high levels of inhibin immunoactivity in plasma from ovariectomized animals, ewes on days 12 and 13 of the estrous cycle were injected with either corn oil (CONT) or large doses of an adrenal steroid agonist, dexamethasone (DEX), to alter adrenal function. Likewise, ewes were either ovariectomized (OVX) on day 12 or injected on days 12 and 13 with estradiol-17-beta plus progesterone (E2 + P4) to alter ovarian function. The plasma concentration of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) increased following did not change plasma gonadotropin values (P > .1). When plasma was assayed using pI-alpha(1-32) reagents and an assay buffer consisting of gelatin/phosphate/Tween-20 (GelT20), inhibin immunoactivity was not affected by any of the four treatments (P > .1), even including ovariectomy. Re-assay of these same samples with an RIA procedure that used gelT20 assay buffer and pI-alpha(1-29Tyr30) reagents produced good agreement with the previous assay (partial correlation P < .0001), but there was no statistical evidence that ovariectomy or treatment with ovarian or adrenal steroids changed the level of immunoassayable inhibin in plasma. When plasma samples were re-assayed using BSA and .1% Triton-X-100 in the assay buffer, a significant decline in inhibin immunoactivity was detected at 2 hr following ovariectomy, but the overall effect of ovariectomy was not significant. Various RIA buffers were evaluated using the 1-32 peptide assay system. Binding of radiolabeled pI-alpha(0Tyr1-32) to antibody was significantly inhibited (P < .01) by serum albumin (SA) from sheep, cattle or pigs. Also, inhibition of binding with SA, inhibin peptides and plasma from sheep, cattle and swine all appeared parallel. The large inhibin-like effect of plasma from ovariectomized animals and the unpredictable effects of proteins and detergents in assay buffer on both assays suggest that studies to describe the physiological control and function of inhibin in farm animals using these RIAs must be interpreted with extreme care.

Push-pull cannulae (PPC) were implanted within the anterior pituitary gland and LHRH was quantified from 10 min (200-mu-l) perfusate samples. Serum LH concentrations were determined from jugular vein blood obtained at the midpoint of perfusate collection. Initial studies without collection of blood samples, indicated that LHRH secretion in the ovariectomized gilt was pulsatile with pulses comprised of one to three samples. However, most pulses were probably of rapid onset and short duration, since they comprised only one sample. Greater LHRH pulse amplitudes were associated with PPC locations within medial regions of the anterior pituitary close to the median eminence. In studies which involved blood collection, LH secretion was not affected by push-pull perfusion of the anterior pituitary gland in most gilts, however, adaptation of pigs to the sampling procedures was essential for prolonged sampling. There was a close temporal relationship between perfusate LHRH pulses and serum LH pulses with LHRH pulses occurring coincident or one sample preceding serum LH pulses. There were occasional LHRH pulses without LH pulses and LH pulses without detectable LHRH pulses. These results provide direct evidence that pulsatile LHRH secretion is associated with pulsatile LH secretion in ovariectomized gilts. In addition, PPC perfusion of the anterior pituitary is a viable procedure for assessing hypothalamic hypophyseal neurohormone relationships. C1 UNIV GEORGIA,DEPT ANIM & DAIRY SCI,ATHENS,GA 30602.

In host-deprived parasitoids, newly-emerged (0.5-day old) females produced significantly fewer eggs than older ones ; egg production peaked 3 to 6 days after emergence and declined thereafter. However, the number of eggs found in undeprived parasitoids at various ages suggested a cyclical pattern of egg production. The rate of parasitization by host-deprived M. croceipes was higher in 1.0 to 6.0 days old than in newly-emerged or older females and was correlated strongly with egg production (r = 0.93). The first observation on premature larval hatching in M. croceipes was documented. RP NAVASERO, R (reprint author), USDA ARS,SO FIELD CROP INSECT MANAGEMENT LAB,POB 346,STONEVILLE,MS 38776, USA.

Oviposition continues throughout most of the adult female's lifetime. Under laboratory conditions life expectancy of females was ca. 6 days. Mean number of progeny reaching adulthood per female was 57, with a 1 : 1 sex ratio. First and 2nd instar nitidulids were suitable for successful development of B. abruptus. Third instars were attacked by B. abruptus but were not successfully parasitized. Parasite development required 29 days in 1st instar hosts and 27 d. in 2nd instars. Percent parasitism in 1st instar C. hemipterus averaged 65 % and for 2nd instar 45 %. After parasitism, larvae of C. hemipterus surviving to become adults averaged 0.6 % for 1st instar, 9.3 % for 2nd dinstar, and 90 % for 3rd instar.

Several oligidic diets containing insect material (Manduca sexta hemolymph or host egg content) were tested. Our initial medium with 50 % hemolymph induced a high egg mortality, but by decreasing the hemolymph concentration, increasing the hen egg yolk concentration and adding 15 % of free amino acids mixture, a hatching rate of 85 % of the parasitoid eggs was obtained with 39 % reaching the second instar and 33 % the third instar. In a medium without hemolymph, but with 18 % liquid from parasitized host eggs we obtained 90 to 100 % hatching, 25 to 27 % reaching the second instar and 8 % the third instar.

In ovipositional choice tests, the mean number of encounters and ovipositions for unparasitized hosts was not significantly different from the mean number of encounters and ovipositions for parasitized hosts for each treatment combination (P > 0.05). Thus, none of the parasitoid species discriminated between host larvae recently parasitized once by a female of another species und unparasitized hosts. However, in all but two cases, females did discriminate between unparasitized hosts and hosts in which an early first instar of the first-attacking species was developing. Cotesia kazak and H. didymator did not discriminate between unparasitized hosts and hosts parasitized by an early first instar of M. demolitor. Larval competition among these parasitoid species was studied for three time intervals between the first and second species parasitization : 1) second species attack immediately (5-15 sec) after the first ; 2) second species attack 24 h after the first ; and 3) second species attack 48 h after the first. Time until egg eclosion was shortest for M. demolitor, then C. kazak, then M. croceipes, and longest for H. didymator. When the second parasitoid species attacked a host immediately after the first species, the species in which egg eclosion occurred first was the victor more frequently, except when M. demolitor competed with C. kazak and H. didymator. With a 24 h delay between the first and second species to attack, the older first instar from the first parasitization usually outcompeted the younger first instar from the second attack. A first instar from the second species to attack generally outcompeted the second instar of the first species when the second parasitization had been delayed 48 h. Competitors were eliminated mainly by physical attack, but C. kazak and M. croceipes apparently also killed H. didymator eggs by physiological processes.

Plants infested at whorl and late-whorl stages had significantly more European com borer tunneling than did plants infested at the pretassel stage. The percentage of plants colonized by B. bassiana did not differ significantly among the whorl, late-whorl, and pretassel stages. As the plants matured, B. bassiana was isolated from different plant areas, with the pith more frequently colonized than the leaf collars. Foliar application of B. bassiana provided immediate suppression of 0. nubilalis in those plants infested at whorl stage.

In the harvested catchment sinks for H+ due to weathering and mineralization reactions were 85% greater, and sources of H+ due to biomass uptake were 60% greater than in the undisturbed catchment. There was an overall net consumption of 550 eq H+ ha-1 year-1 at year 3 after harvest compared to a net generation of 520 eq H+ ha-1 year-1 for the 65-year-old forest. Soil pH increased by 0.2-0.4 units soon after harvest, but there was little change in pH of streamwater from the harvested watershed. The whole-tree harvest resulted in a total production of about 30 000 eq H+ ha-1 due to biomass removal. In contrast, wet and dry deposition at rates measured in this study could add more than 50 000 eq H+ ha-1 in the 65-year period before the next harvest. Reducing the intensity of harvest may lessen long-term impacts of these sources of H+ on acidification of soils and streams. RP US FOREST SERV, DURHAM, NH 03824 USA.

Experiments were conducted to distinguish among possible foliage-mediated versus soil- or root-mediated effects of acid deposition on microorganisms in the rhizosphere. Seedlings of a sorghum x sudangrass hybrid in pots of non-sterile soil-sand mix in a greenhouse were exposed to simulated rain solution adjusted with H2SO4 + HNO3 to pH 4.9, 4.2, 3.5 or 2.8. Solutions were applied as simulated rain to foliage and soil, foliage only (soil covered by plastic, and deionized water applied directly to the soil), or soil only (solution applied directly to the soil). Solutions were applied on 16 days during a 6-week period (1.5 cm deposition in 1 h per application). Plant shoot and root dry weights and population densities of selected types of bacteria, filamentous actinomycetes and fungi in the rhizosphere were quantified after exposures were completed. Deposition of simulated acidic rain onto foliage alone had no effect on plant biomass or microbial population densities in the rhizosphere (colony-forming units per gram of rhizosphere soil). However, plant growth was stimulated and all microbial populations in the rhizosphere increased 3- to 8-fold with increased solution acidity (relative to pH 4.9 solution) when solution penetrated the soil. Statistical analyses indicated that the acid dose-population response relationships for soil-only and foliage-and-soil applications were not different. Thus, no foliage-mediated effect of simulated acidic rain on rhizosphere ecology was detected. C1 N CAROLINA STATE UNIV,USDA ARS,DEPT SOIL SCI,RALEIGH,NC 27695.

Field studies examined norflurazon movement in a Dothan loamy sand in which cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) was grown, and alachlor and metribuzin movement in an Appling sandy loam. Actual herbicide concentrations were always greatest near the soil surface. The PRZM and GLEAMS computer simulation models accurately predicted the total herbicide present in each profile less than 20 d after application. The models overestimated herbicide movement into the soil profile in later simulations. The model predictions generally agreed with the relative location of alachlor and metribuzin in simulations less than 7 d after herbicide applications, but simulations beyond 7 d after herbicide application deviated from actual concentrations. PRZM accurately predicted that most of the applied norflurazon would remain close to the soil surface 84 d after herbicide application, whereas GLEAMS inaccurately predicted that norflurazon would be located throughout the soil profile, although the predicted depth to the limit of detection by both models was accurate.

The two populations, MAT and PRO, were developed from an initial population that was a combination of a line with 48.4% seed protein and two F2 populations segregating for male sterility. Intermating was facilitated by genetic male-sterility and the selection intensity was 20% in each cycle of the two populations. Selection for early maturity advanced the average maturity a significant 2.7 +/- 0.34 days cycle-1 and reduced seed yield a non-significant 9.1 +/- 2.95 g plant-1 cycle-1. Selection increased mean seed protein a significant 0.8 +/- 0.15 percentage points cycle-1 and decreased percent seed oil a non-significant 0.5 +/- 0.17 percentage points cycle-1. Correlation coefficients between seed protein and seed yield varied from 0. 18 to - 0.21 in the four cycles indicating plants with favorable combinations of seed yield and seed protein could be identified.

Occasionally, A. parasiticus Speare is also used for this purpose. However, only limited data are available on whether one species is as effective as the other for identifying aflatoxin-resistant genotypes. Our objective was to determine relative aflatoxin accumulation on kernels of maize containing the leafy (Lfy) gene in response to A. flavus and A. parasiticus. Aflatoxin production by A. flavus and A. parasiticus on grain of seven maize synthetics containing the Lfy gene, viz., A619, A632, Mo17, B73, HY, Wf9, and 914, was examined in three environments in Louisiana. Ears were doubly inoculated at 14 and 21 days after mid-silk by atomizing over external silks a 2 ml suspension containing 2.0 X 10(7) Spores ml-1 of either A. flavus or A. parasiticus. All genotypes responded similarly in the three environments to both the fungal species. Aflatoxin B1 and B2 production did not differ in the three environments. The seven genotypes did not differ in levels of aflatoxin accumulation in response to either A. flavus or A. parasiticus. Aflatoxin production by A. flavus was detected in maize samples from all three environments, but aflatoxin production by A. parasiticus was found only in samples from Winnsboro, where moisture stress occurred. Mean B1 and B2 production by A. flavus from the three environments was, respectively, four and one-half times and two times more than that by A. parasiticus.

It is the integration of assimilated information as knowledge with data. This is, in fact, the procedure used in human decision making. The potential capabilities for knowledge engineering to help solve ill-structured agricultural problems where information and data are incomplete has excited many scientists. However, knowledge engineering is in its infancy and is not ready for widespread, economically viable application to commercial agriculture. The state of the art for developing and using agricultural knowledge-based decision support "expert" systems is discussed; representative examples depicting areas that are most promising are presented, and specific examples from the authors' experiences are given. These are followed by comments on commercialization, pitfalls, needed developments, and prognosis. C1 UNIV NEBRASKA,LINCOLN,NE 68583.

Cereal response to nitrogen (N), sulfur (S). and phosphorus (P) were determined for 6 years under differing tillage [conventional-till (CT) vs. no-till (NT)] and intensity of cropping (cereal/fallow vs. cereal/cereal). Semidwarf white winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) alternated yearly with either fallow or spring cereal [barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) or spring wheat] on a Typic Haploxeroll soil in a 415 mm rainfall zone. Fertilizer treatments were no fertilizer (None), N only (N), N plus S (NS), and N plus S plus P (NSP). Average application rate, when applied, was 109 kg N, 18 kg S, and 11 kg P ha-1. Average cereal yield without fertilizer was 1.82 t ha-1. Nitrogen increased grain yield in 6 of 6, S in 4 of 6, and P in 3 of 6 years, with P and S response significant the remaining years at the 10% probability level. Average yield increases were 1.11 t ha-1 for N, 0.93 t ha-1 for S, and 0.47 t ha-1 for 1). The NT/CT yield ratio was 0.60. 0.75, 0.93, and 0.95 with None, N, NS, and NSP addition. respectively, indicating that N and S deficiency were more severe in no-till. Limited increase in the NT/CT ratio with P addition indicated that P deficiency was less affected by tillage. Winter always yielded less under NT than CT regardless of fertility, whereas spring cereals reached equality when fertilized with NSP. Annually-cropped wheat yielded 52, 67, 89, and 90% of wheat after fallow with None, N, NS, and NSP, respectively. Thus N and S. but not P, deficiency was more intense with increased frequency of cropping. Adequate fertility was a prime prerequisite for efficient yield in all systems.

Cotton was grown in eight four-row plots in Phoenix during the summer of 1989 and irrigated about every two weeks. In one test, flowers at anthesis were removed on 22 and 29 June and on 7 and 14 July from the first node of fruiting branches of one center row, but not the other row, in each of four replications. Subtending leaves were harvested seven days after deflowering for ABA and IAA analyses. Removal of one flower per plant had no consistent effect on the concentrations of ABA and IAA in the subtending leaf. In another test, all flowers and bolls were removed from all plants of one center row, but not the other row, of four replications on 30 June and 5 and 13 July. Uppermost fully expanded mainstem leaves were harvested from the same plots on 20, 25, and 27 July, and on 9 August (7, 12, 14, and 27 days after final defruiting) for ABA and IAA analyses. Removal of all fruits apparently caused a slight increase in ABA concentration in mainstem leaves, but the effect disappeared with time after defruiting. The ability of leaves to accumulate ABA apparently decreased slightly as boll load increased. Complete fruit removal did not, however, affect the IAA content of leaves.

Deconjugation using human blood plasma conjugate at acidic pH (4.5) results in a substantial degradation of folates while between pH 6.0 and 7.0, optimum results could be obtained using a slight excess of plasma. The end products of conjugase treatment with either plasma or chicken pancreas extract as the source of conjugase depend on, besides the conjugase source, the incubation pH and the inhibitory components present in the incubation mixture.

There are no published methods for simultaneously determining the three principal forms of vitamin B2, i.e. riboflavin (RF), flavin mononucleotide (FMN), and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), in foods. A simultaneous high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation of RF, FMN and FAD has been developed on polymer-based columns, using a mobile phase gradient of acetonitrile in citrate-phosphate buffer, pH 5.50. The natural fluorescence of the flavins was used for detection, and a RF analog, 7-ethyl-8-methyl-riboflavin, was used as the internal standard. A two-step extraction procedure, using methylene chloride, methanol, and the citrate-phosphate buffer, was also developed. The recoveries from spiked food samples demonstrated that the flavins were stable under these extraction conditions. The commercial FMN and FAD standards were found to contain significant quantities of impurities, and the appropriate correction factors were developed and applied to the HPLC results. This method was successfully applied to a variety of foods that represented significant dietary sources of vitamin B2, including raw and cooked meats, dairy products, eggs, and cereal products. The results of the HPLC analyses generally agreed with published values for TRF. C1 USDA ARS,BELTSVILLE AGR RES CTR,NUTRIENT COMPOSIT LAB,BELTSVILLE,MD 20705.

Carrot sticks were treated by infusion with antimicrobial compounds, antioxidants and cellular constituents and stored in plastic vacuum shrink bags at 2-degrees-C for up to three weeks. In each of the five treatments studied, the concentrations of the two major sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, caryophyllene and gamma-bisabolene, increased markedly in the second week of storage while the concentrations of these two compounds in control samples decreased moderately during this same period. It appears that the infusion process must stimulate major changes in the sesquiterpene metabolism.

Simple computational analysis of saturated triglyceride polymorphism by molecular mechanics within constraints provided by X-ray data show that polymethylene interactions determine hydrocarbon crystal properties when they account for more than 60 percent of the total molecular interaction energy. Modeling predicts multiple, nearly equivalent, alpha-form triglycerides and alpha-form character in liquid near-crystalline triglycerides. Symmetrical molecules pack better than asymmetric molecules in alpha-form configurations and transform readily to beta'-forms if activated sufficiently to disrupt lateral chain interaction and allow dimensional displacements during transformation. The formation of beta'-forms, thought important for quality in certain foods, may depend on controlling both the configuration of alpha-form precursors and the sequence of molecular events during the transformation.

All mechanical measurements were performed in situ without the use of solvents, resins, or polishing compounds that could alter the properties of the specimens. The results showed that the starch and protein components had elastic and creep properties. There were no significant differences in any of the mechanical properties of the starch and protein components either within a variety or among soft, hard, and durum wheat types. Tensile strength (S(u)), compressive strength (S(max)), toughness (W(max)), modulus of elasticity (E) and strain to fracture (e(max)) were measured in samples of whole endosperm from various soft, hard, and durum wheats. The mean values for each parameter were highest for durum caryopses and lowest for non-vitreous caryopses of soft wheats. The hard wheat samples were intermediate. The mechanical properties of some vitreous caryopses of two soft wheat varieties were comparable to those of durum and hard wheat caryopses. These results do not support theories that suggest endosperm hardness is directly attributable to a cell product made exclusively in either hard or soft wheat varieties.

For crop yield assessments, multispectral observations are acquired photographically, videographically, or with optical-mechanical scanners from aircraft and spacecraft. Sensors are chosen at wavelengths of high atmospheric transmission and maximum contrast between the soil background and the vegetation growing out of it. Vegetation indices have been developed that maximize the information about the photosynthetic size of the vegetation in the landscape and, hence, about crop stresses and yield. Three such indices that reduce the multispectral observations to a single numerical index are described and software for one general procedure that permits characterization of each major spectral component of multiband scenes is appended. Microscopists may encounter analogous situations for which the techniques developed in agricultural remote sensing can be useful.

Leaf blades of warm-season (Coastal and Coastcross-1 bermudagrasses and sudangrass) and cool-season grasses (orchardgrass and tall fescue) and leaflets of legumes (alfalfa and lespedeza) were evaluated before and after incubation with rumen microorganisms for 7 days to determine cell types and wall structures most resistant to biodegradation. UV absorption microspectrophotometry was used to characterize aromatics within selected undegraded cell types, which had been shown in digestion studies to vary in biodegradability, from representative plants of each of the three groups (Coastal bermudagrass, orchardgrass, tall fescue, and alfalfa). The most recalcitrant tissues (mestome sheath in grasses and xylem in legumes) had the greatest absorption, but spectra varied for the different plants. Spectra for the grasses, but not alfalfa, suggested a strong contribution from phenolic esters. Spectra of sclerenchyma were similar for the grasses and suggested a strong ester component. For partially digested tissues such as epidermis and parenchyma bundle sheath, UV absorption maxima and shoulders occurred in tissues that were partially or non-degraded; in contrast, absorption did not occur or was considerably less in tissues showing complete degradation. UV absorption microspectrophotometry is useful for characterization of phenolic compounds within cell types that differ in digestibility.

The benefits of pruning seemed to be primarily from increased temperature and light intensity resulting from greater exposure and insolation on pruned boles, but physiological changes in the host such as improved moisture status, although not measured, should not be disregarded. Pruning had little protective effect on rapidly growing bole sections because those sections were already resistant to successful spruce beetle attack. The effect of pruning on successful beetle attack was presumably conservative because baited trees were used.

All responses decreased significantly with sample height both in 1987 and 1988. Treatment generally had little or no effect on either spruce beetle activity or blue stain development; the only exception was the effect of treatment on percent cambial discoloration in 1987. For both years, spruce beetle activity and blue stain development were highly interrelated. Number of successful attacks was more highly correlated with the three blue-stain measures than was total number of attacks. For both years, gallery length was more highly correlated with the blue-stain measures than was the number of attacks, but successful gallery length was more closely related to the blue-stain measures than was total gallery length. Results of canonical correlation analyses for both years indicated that spruce beetle activity and blue-stain development were equally effective in accounting for variation in the opposite set of measures. Spruce beetle measures related to successful attacks were more highly correlated with blue-stain development than were those for total attacks. Blue stain occurred in 120 of 144 discs and in 30 of 36 discs cut from trees in 1987 and 1988, respectively. Of the symptomatic discs, 74.2 and 83.3% yielded isolates of blue-stain fungi in 1987 and 1988 respectively. Representative isolates were all identified as Leptographium abietinum (Peck) Wingfield.

Two replicate transects across each of 7 edge types representing 3 classes of contrast (abrupt, intermediate, and subtle) were sampled during June 1983-1985 to define species assemblages at stand edges and estimate the width and longevity of functional edges under even-aged management. Of 52 bird species, 28 occurred across all three classes of edges, but no unique species or assemblages were evident at the edges between stands. Across edges between young stands, bird species richness declined linearly from seedling stand interior to pole stand interior, but no differences in cumulative bird species richness by edge contrast type were found. The proportion of edge-detected species was higher in the younger stand in all edge contrast types except the most subtle edge type between mature stands. Only across seedling-sawlog and sapling-large sawlog edges were bird assemblages more different than similar. Edge "avoidance" was pronounced when stands were most different. The distributions of foraging and nesting guilds differed (P < 0.05) only when seedling or sapling stands abutted stands that were pole-sized, or larger. Edges between even-aged northern hardwood stands, even of greatly contrasting age or height, are different from field-forest edges. Northern hardwood clearcuts regenerate rapidly and do not develop a grass stage nor a brushy border. Foliage profiles in stands of widely disparate ages are similar, and effects of boundaries between even-aged stands on breeding birds are ephemeral.

Overstory species composition and growth were unaffected by treatment. Above-ground portions of small hardwoods (less than 12.5 cm d.b.h.) were killed and replaced by numerous sprouts under periodic summer, periodic winter, and annual winter burning regimes. With annual summer burning, small hardwoods and shrubs were killed and replaced by vegetation typical of grassland communities. Grasses and forbs also dominated the understory of annual winter burns but numerous hardwood sprouts survived. Study results emphasize that frequent burning over a long period is needed to create and maintain the pine-grassland community observed by the first European settlers of the southeast.

This paper describes two models, TREEVAL2 and FIP, which aid in synthesizing the effects of wood quality, product value, processing costs, logging costs, and management costs on the financial performance of regimes. TREEVAL2 uses descriptions of actual Douglas-fir trees or trees simulated by growth and yield models and estimates their net product value when processed into lumber, veneer, pulp, or chips. Net product value is based on studies relating product recovery to measures of wood quality and log size. FIP combines the net product value estimate with logging and cultural costs to estimate a regime's net present value or soil expectation value. An example that demonstrates the use of these models for comparing silvicultural regimes is also presented. C1 US FOREST SERV,PACIFIC NW RES STN,PORTLAND,OR 97208.

The C3 annuals, Avena sativa and Brassica kaber, and C3 and C4 perennials, Prosopis glandulosa and Schizachyrium scoparium, respectively, were grown in a 38-m long chamber along a continuous gradient of daytime CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) from near the current 350 mumol mol-1 to 150 (annuals) or 200 mumol mol-1 (perennials). Diurnal CO2 and water fluxes were calculated for plant stands in five consecutive, 7-6-m lengths of the chamber arranged linearly along the [CO2] gradient. 2. The ratio of night respiration (R(N)) to daytime net assimilation (P(D)) was greatest in A. sativa/B. kaber exposed to mean [CO2] below 200 mumol mol-1, while R(N)/P(D) differed little among five stands of P. glandulosa/S. scoparium that were grown at mean [CO2] from 219 to 331 mumol mol-1. 3. Evapotranspiration was reduced and water-use efficiency (WUE) was increased in A. sativa/B. kaber stands by higher [CO2]. 4. P(D) and WUE of P. glandulosa/S. scoparium were not related to [CO2] across either of two growing seasons. Both P(D) and WUE, however, were greater at higher [CO2] in three of four stands when [CO2] was varied on consecutive days. 5. We conclude that past increases in atmospheric [CO2] have promoted higher WUE and increased carbon uptake in C3-dominated ecosystems.

Spore concentrations at 1 m were significantly higher at the edge of the canopy than at 10 m and 30 m downwind. However, this was not true at 2 and 3 m above the ground, indicating that the decrease was due to spore deposition rather than upward movement of the spores. During sampling periods with winds greater than 10 km . h-1, spore impaction was reduced near the source and increased with increasing distance. However, wind velocities < 8 km . h-1 resulted in increased impaction near the source and decreased deposition with distance downwind from the source.

The F1 hybrids were perennial like the male wheatgrass parent. Their mor-phology was almost intermediate between the two parents. A low-pairing (LP) hybrid and a high-pairing (HP) hybrid were studied. The LP hybrid, with apparently functional Ph1 (the pairing regulator that suppresses homoeologous pairing), had a mean of 0.14 III + 1.16 ring II + 3.17 rod II + 25.91 I, with a c (the mean arm-pairing frequency) of 0.206. If A. cristatum were an autotetraploid, its haploid complement (PP) in the hybrid should form approximately 7 II. The mean of only 4.33 II (of which about 1.0 bivalent probably involved the A, B and D genomes of wheat) would suggest a certain degree of divergence between the two P genomes. The HP hybrid had 0.03 chain IV + 0.47 III + 2.98 ring II + 5.89 rod II + 15.73 I, with c = 0.460. Such a high pairing probably involved both autosyndesis (pairing within the ABD component and within the PP component of the ABDPP hybrid) and allosyndesis (pairing between the parental complements), and could have occurred only if PhI was partially inactivated. Homoeologous pairing of chromosomes of P with wheat chromosomes seems sufficient to facilitate the transfer of desirable traits of A. cristatum into wheat.

As originally conceived by Dewey and Love, Elymus contained species that were caespitose, small anthered, self-pollinating and contained the SH genomes. Chromosome pairing data in intergenomic hybrids has demonstrated that species in Elymus are heterogenomic with the SH, SY, SHY, and SYP genome combinations. The S, H, Y, and P genomes are distinct; however, low levels of homology apparently exist between the S and Y, and the S and P genomes. Under the genomic system of classification, each genome combination represents a new genus, thus splitting Elymus into four genera. Morphologically, the genomic groups SH, SY, and SHY are not distinct. Variation in leaf epidermal characters does not justify splitting of Elymus. Intergenomic hybrids between the three genomic groups are sterile; however, in nature natural hybridization between and within genomic groups occurs, creating character overlap which presents identification problems. Those species that are treated in Roegneria C. Koch section Paragropyrum, Elymus sections Hyalolepis and Goulardia, and Kengyilia gobicola comprise the S, Y, and P genomes and are morphologically similar to the crested wheatgrass complex (Agropyron Gaertn.) and may warrant generic rank C1 NANJING BOT GARDEN MEN SUN,NANJING,PEOPLES R CHINA.

(P genome), Pseudoroegneria (Nevski) A. Love (S genome), Thinopyrum A. Love (J-E genome), Psathyrostachys Nevski (N genome), Hordeum L. (H genome), and Secale L. (R genome). Chromosome pairing patterns in these diploid hybrids permit the estimation of genomic similarity among the various genomes. Measurements of genome similarity based on chromosome pairing in diploid hybrids are generally in agreement with those based on other measurements. It is consistent that J(b) and J(e) (= E) are the most closely-related genomes, with the genetic similarity ranging from 0.50 to 0.68, based on various studies. Next to the J(b)-J(e) genome are S and P genomes. The N, H, and R genomes are remotely related to the J-S-P cluster. These relationships are also reflected in hybrids of higher ploidy levels when genes controlling chromosome pairing are kept in check. Since genome designation is traditionally based on chromosome pairing data and the ability of two genomes to pair without interfering factors is a reliable measurement of genome similarity, diploid pairing data should be used for genome symbol determination. It is logical to set a diploid c value of 0.50 for designating the basis genome symbol; i.e., when the diploid hybrids have a mean c > 0.50, the two genomes in the hybrid should be given the same basic symbol.

In addition, they have been a source of genes for pest resistance and other traits in wide hybridization programs to improve cultivated cereal crops. Intense breeding efforts have been restricted primarily to species of Agropyron (Gaertn.), Psathyrostachys Nevski, Thinopyrum Love, Leymus Hochst., Elymus L., and Pseudoroegneria (Nevski) Love. Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron ssp.) has received the most attention in breeding programs as evidenced by the release of several improved cultivars. Stand establishment vigor of Russian wildrye, Psathyrostachys juncea (Fisch.) Nevski, has been substantially increased through breeding, and selection for improved forage quality and disease resistance has been effective in intermediate wheatgrass, Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkw. & Dewey. Interspecific hybridization is a promising breeding procedure in the perennial Triticeae. The recently released cultivars 'Hycrest' and 'NewHy' are notable examples of progress through interspecific hybridization. 'Hycrest' was derived from hybrids between induced tetraploid Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn. and natural tetraploid Agropyron desertorum (Fisch. ex Link) Schultes. The parentage of 'NewHy' traces to hybrids between quackgrass, Elytrigia repens (L.) Nevski, and bluebunch wheatgrass, Pseudoroegneria spicata (Pursh) Love. Genetic progress through induced amphiploidy has also been reported. Continued success in breeding programs will be accelerated by expanded plant exploration efforts along with improved technology and breeding methods.

Intensity variations of given signals within a clone and between clones facilitated the characterization of minor functional entities,The lignins contained 71%-8.7% pinoresinol/syringaresinol structures, 2%-4% phenylcoumaran structures, and 4.4%-6.5% p-hydroxybenzoate structures. Quantitation of these structures was based on prominent signals that were previously assigned. In addition, in the case of acetylated p-hydroxybenzoate structures, all the carbon signals were assigned by means of conventional proton decoupled spectra and DEPT spectra, and by comparison with model compounds. Examination of Salix milled wood lignins by C-13 NMR spectroscopy before and after mild hydrolysis indicated that the p-hydroxybenzoate units were attached to lignin via an ester linkage. No evidence for the existence of ether-linked benzoate subunits was found. C1 UNIV TORONTO,FAC FORESTRY,TORONTO M5S 1A1,ONTARIO,CANADA.

In this study, isolated rat epididymal adipocytes were used to evaluate the influence of bovine serum albumin on insulin activity as affected by cinnamon and Brewer's yeast extracts. Albumin at 0.01-0.1% decreased the insulin stimulatory effects of cinnamon from 11.8- to 5.3-fold and 2% albumin decreased this effect to near control levels. Conversely, the insulin-enhancing properties of Brewer's yeast remained low in the presence of less than 0.25% albumin but subsequently increased 2.8-, 4.8- and 5.6-fold in the presence of 0.25, 0.50 and 1.0% albumin, respectively. In the absence of added insulin, increased activity of the insulin-stimulated utilization of glucose by both extracts was observed but only Brewer's yeast extract displayed additive effects when tested at higher insulin levels. Due to the inhibitory and enhancing effects of albumin on the insulin activity of cinnamon and Brewer's yeast, respectively, it is suggested that the effects of albumin be assessed when evaluating the insulin-enhancing effects of other substances using isolated adipocytes.

Two were found in the cultivar Planters Jumbo and one in the virescent marker C879-J2. Each of these 4x plants had rounded cotyledons, shorter internodes, thicker stems and leaves, more hairs, and smaller fruits, with larger stem and blossom scars, than their 2x counterparts. Also, their flowers, pollen grains, stomates, and seeds were larger. The discovery of a 4x virescent plant in 1987 allows easier germplasm transfer between ploidy levels.

Using data from large-scale forest inventories done in the 1950s-60s, we obtained aboveground biomass estimates that ranged from 90 to 397 Mg/ha, with an area weighted mean of 268 Mg/ha. Based on data from a Legal Amazon-wide inventory done about two decades later, forest biomass estimates ranged from 85 to 330 Mg/ha with a weighted mean of 162 Mg/ha. Biomass estimates based on small-scale studies (direct or indirect methods of estimation) ranged between 330 to 550 Mg/ha, well outside of the range of those from large-scale inventories. We suggest that small-scale studies are inappropriate for biomass estimation because of the problem of sampling large trees. The estimates based on large-scale inventories present a more realistic picture of the biomass of Amazonian forests and we suggest that the differences in biomass between the two inventory periods are due to degradation of forests by humans in the intervening period.

It also fails to form aerial hyphae in liquid and agar culture. This abnormal morphological feature may be caused by the same aberrant physiology that prevents the strain from efficiently degrading wood. Aerial hyphae formation was suppressed in MAD698, a standard floccose strain of P. placenta, when spent media from 14-day-old ME20 cultures made up 40% or more of the nutrient medium. Spent media from MAD698 cultures caused a similar effect but only at 80% and 100% concentrations. This suppression does not appear to be caused by nutrient deprivation or by the activity of extracellular autolytic enzymes. The suppressive factor has a molecular weight of <10 000 Da, is resistant to boiling, and thus probably non-enzymatic. The inhibition of aerial hyphae formation is probably due to unidentified, low molecular weight staling products.

The aim of this study was to develop a test assembly that would (1) be conducive to rapid decay, (2) exhibit minimal variation between replicates in decay response, and (3) lend itself to nondestructive testing in the field. Eighteen different designs for test units of southern pine sapwood were tested in an open field in southern Mississippi in the United States and in a rainforest in Panama. At both locations, test units were exposed above ground to natural infestations of wood decay fungi. No design seemed particularly advantageous in the tropical climate. In the temperate climate, onset of wood decay and frequency of failed units at given intervals of exposure were influenced by the size of the units. Two designs met experimental objectives. Test units of these designs consisted of short lengths of 5.1 cm thick lumber, exposed horizontally, or of stacks of smaller beams that were supported at a 45-degrees angle from the horizontal These designs are being used in additional studies to assess the potential for using nondestructive stress-wave technology to quantitatively measure decay in the field.

Four hundred and ten subjects not taking antihypertensive medications were grouped into 5 categories of vitamin C intake: < 60, 60-119, 120-179, 180-239, greater-than-or-equal-to 240 mg/day. Relative differences in systolic and diastolic BP between subjects consuming greater-than-or-equal-to 240 mg/day compared to those consuming < 60 mg/day were -6.9% (p < 0.05) and -6.6% (p < 0.05), respectively. The prevalence of elevated BP (systolic greater-than-or-equal-to 160 mmHg or diastolic greater-than-or-equal-to 100 mmHg) was approximately 50% lower (p < 0.05) across this range of vitamin C intake. Adjustment of these associations for age, sex, body mass, smoking, dietary sodium:potassium ratio, and other dietary factors did little to alter the relationship between vitamin C and BP These results lend support to the hypothesis that vitamin C and BP are related, but further research is required to test whether the relationship is causal.

Total adrenal binding was constant (0.61 +/- 0.02 fmol/paired adrenals). 3.

DNA per paired adrenals and membrane-associated protein increased 1.6-fold, providing a constant protein: DNA ratio. Concentrations of adrenal cortisol were constant from 60 to 90 days of gestation age but increased dramatically by day 105. 5. These data suggest that during 60-105 days of gestation age the number of ACTH receptors per cell is reduced.

A typical 5-layered epicuticle and a multi-lamellate procuticle are deposited during the pharate adult stage. Secretion of the epicuticle and the procuticle begins about 2 and 4 days after pupation, respectively. Following eclosion, a lattice-like endocuticle is secreted in the form of layers of parallel rod- or beam-shaped macrofibers. Deposition of endocuticle over the first week after emergence, is at a rate of 3 or 4 layers per day. The imaginal endocuticle accounts for the major portion of the cuticle mass as there is about a 14-fold increase in sclerite thickness and an overall 4-fold increase in non KOH-extractable exoskeletal mass during the first week after emergence. Extensive cytoskeletal and surface remodeling plus a change in secretory product packaging occurs at the apical region of the epidermal cells upon shifting to deposition of the endocuticle. Intralayer orientation of the macrofibers is under cellular control and is accomplished by the formation of templates consisting of membrane placque-bearing, canal-like depressions on the apical surface extending across cell borders. Comparisons of cuticle sections to simulated plots drawn via computer graphics, show that each successive layer of macrofibers is rotated with respect to the overlying layer by an angle of about 72-degrees. Except for vertical columns of cuticular fibers that support pore canals, microfibril orientation within the procuticle/exocuticle generally follows the Bouligand model for a typical lamellate arthropod cuticle. Direct cellular control over the interlaminar orientation of the microfibrils forming the procuticle could not be discerned in this study. C1 N DAKOTA STATE UNIV,DEPT MATH SCI,FARGO,ND 58105.

In all cases, the air-formed sheets had poorer mechanical properties than did the handsheets. While the treatments appeared to have a visible affect on the spreading of polypropylene over cellulose, the effects of the treatments on mechanical properties were almost always negative. Annealing the wet-formed handsheets for five minutes at 130-degrees-C before pressing gave control sheets with improved modulus, strain-to-break, and burst strength, but had a slight negative effect on air-formed sheet properties. The effect of treatments on the water durability of the air-formed sheets was minimal or adverse, while for the wet-laid handsheets, the treatments were slightly beneficial if the sheets had been annealed, but detrimental if they had not.

They were evaluated for condition after arrival. Shipments took from 15 to 18 days from the time they left the packing until they cleared plant quarantine and customs in Japan. Fruit temperatures remained below 3-degrees-C during transportation, but were exposed to higher temperatures at both the US and Japanese ports. More fruit of the cv. Summer Grand was affected with methyl bromide injury than the cv. Red Diamond, but the severity of the injury on affected fruit was greater for the latter. In addition, commercially fumigated nectarines were held in laboratory tests simulating commercial surface shipment conditions. Nectarines were held for two weeks at 1-degrees-C. After one additional week at either 10 or 20-degrees-C, this fruit retained an average of 44% and 11% of its firmness, respectively. Similar fruit held for three weeks at 1-degrees-C and one additional week at 10 or 20-degrees-C retained 48% and 12% of its firmness, respectively.

The reaction conditions allowed efficient incorporation of small amounts of P-32-dATP which enabled rapid detection of the products in polyacrylamide gels. Using this method as well as probe hybridization, the presence of grapevine yellow speckle viroids 1 and 2 (previously known as GV1B) in grapevine samples from California was demonstrated, and it was established that the Australian grapevine viroid occurs in California. These comparisons provide the basis for uniform nomenclature of grapevine viroids found in different geographical regions. C1 UNIV CALIF DAVIS,USDA ARS,DEPT PLANT PATHOL,DAVIS,CA 95616.

The objective of this study was to determine the change in wettability of weathered wood using a videotape technique for determining contact angles. Contact angles of water on western redcedar and southern pine panels were determined after 0-12 weeks of outdoor weathering. Contact angles were calculated by computer on 'frozen' images of drops displayed from videotape recordings. Wettability of western redcedar increased with time of weathering, as shown by progressively decreasing contact angles. Contact angles increased during the early portion of weathering of southern pine, but decreased steadily thereafter. The conservative Tukey test was used to show which values are significantly different. RP KALNINS, MA (reprint author), US FOREST SERV,FOREST PROD LAB,1 GIFFORD PINCHOT DR,MADISON,WI 53705, USA.

The bacterium Streptomyces tendae (ATCC 31160) was grown on Hickey-Tresner (HT), Streptomyces (STR), Actinomyces (ACT), and American Type Culture Collection sporulation agar (ATCC). The greatest fresh biomass occurred on ATCC and the least on HT media. Sporulation occurred on ATCC and HT but not on STR and ACT media. Cultures produced geosmin on each media. However, sporulating cultures contained more geosmin than nonsporulating cultures. Cultures grown on ACT medium did not produce geosmin prior to 48 h after inoculation, and neither basic, acidic, nor enzymatic hydrolysis released geosmin, indicating that changes in geosmin content were due to de novo biosynthesis rather than release of bound metabolite.

The flies travelled with, and congregated near, cattle. They were not attracted to fresh manure which was spread on fields 0.5 km from the barns, although some stable flies were transported with the manure. Stable flies were only captured at homesites when fly-contaminated breeding materials were spread near the homes or when cattle-loafing areas were within 100 m of the homes. The largest catches of stable flies on the farm were near sites where straw was used as cattle bedding material or was stored after such use. Fifty-nine percent of the total fly catch over the summer was collected in 15 traps which were located near cattle resting areas or cattle trails.

Moench, accessions were compared with the available resistant genotype CM1821 for whorl-stage resistance to feeding by larvae of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith). When the sorghum lines were infested in the field 4 wk after planting and rated 7 d later, IS4023C and IS7399C were significantly less damaged (rating 3-4) than the resistant check CM1821 (rating 5). At 14 d after infestation, IS4023C, IS7399C, IS6962C, IS7724C, IS7695C, and IS1151C had significantly less leaf damage (rating < 5.5) than the resistant check CM1821 (rating 6.3). When infestations were made 5 wk after planting, IS1056C, IS1151C, IS2246C, IS2541C, IS3598C, IS4023C, IS6962C, IS6964C, IS7013C, IS7367C, IS7399C, IS7498C, IS7668C, I87695C, IS7724C, and IS12633C were more resistant (rating < 2.5) than the resistant CM1821 (rating 4) at 7 d after infestation. Except for IS1151C, IS4023C, and IS7399C all these lines plus IS12680C had significantly less damage (rating < 2.7) at 14 d after infestation compared with the resistant check (rating 3.7). Laboratory bioassays showed that IS1056C, IS2177C, IS2246C, IS4023C, IS7399C, and IS12680C had a significantly higher antibiotic resistance than CM1821. No significant relationship was established between resistance and acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber, or tannin concentrations in the leaves. Resistance was, however, positively correlated with higher concentrations of total nitrogen in sorghum leaves. C1 UNIV GEORGIA,DEPT ENTOMOL,ATHENS,GA 30602.

On nine different dates, behavior of five larvae on each of five bolls per isoline was observed every 10 min for 70 min following infestation. Compressive strength and carpel-wall thickness were measured on another set of bolls of the same age. Results suggest that ST 7A was less susceptible to PBW than was ST 213. At 70 min, number of entrance holes was not significantly different, but significantly fewer larvae were penetrating bolls of ST 7A (3.2) than those of ST 213 (5.6). Results also suggest that ST 7A okra leaf (ST 7AL) was less susceptible than was ST 7A, at least through 50 min after infesting. At 50 minutes, number of entrance holes was not significantly different but significantly fewer larvae were penetrating bolls of ST 7AL (1.6) than those of ST 7A (2.6). This reduction did not persist after 50 minutes, nor was it shown for Stoneville 213 okra leaf (ST 213L) as compared with ST 213. Compressive strength did not differ significantly among the four isolines (2.74-2.84 kg/cm2). Carpel walls of ST 7AL were thinner than those of ST 7A (1.69 vs. 1.80 mm), but those of ST 213 L were thicker than those of ST 213 (1.78 vs. 1.73 mm). Thus differences in thickness of carpel walls had little effect on the ability of PBW to penetrate bolls.

A procedure to determine prediction equations for lean tissue growth rate is proposed. The procedure restricts the regression of fat growth rate on predicted lean growth rate to be equal to the regression of fat growth rate on actual lean growth rate. The restriction can be phenotypic or genetic if suitable parameter estimates are available. When applied phenotypically, selection on predicted lean tissue growth rate will result in selection differentials for both fat and lean tissue growth rates that are proportional to those obtained by direct selection for lean tissue growth rate. This restriction is desirable because expected correlated changes in fat are used to justify selection for lean tissue growth. Conventional prediction procedures have ignored correlated changes and obscured the original intent of using lean tissue growth rate as a biological selection criterion. When using conventional procedures to predict a biological selection criterion from indirect measurements, changes in important correlated traits may depend more on the choice of indirect measurements than on the choice of selection criterion.

The model for simulation included eight measures on 610 animals with 1,071 animals in the numerator relationship matrix. Heritabilities were equal for the eight measures, and both genetic and phenotypic correlations among the measures were equal. Ten replications for each combination of heritability (.15, .25, and .35) and genetic correlation (.50, .66BAR, and .90) were simulated on the normal scale. For each replicate, estimates of the eight heritabilities and 28 genetic correlations were obtained by multiple-trait REML. The usual transformation of heritability estimated on the binomial scale overestimated heritability on the normal scale. Genetic correlations on the binomial scale seriously underestimated the correlations on the normal scale. Standard errors of the estimates obtained by replication were somewhat larger than the approximate SE from REMLPK (the multitrait REML program of K. Meyer). A final set of 10 simulated replications with heritability of .25 and genetic correlation of 1.00 resulted in average estimates of .18 for heritability and of .66 for genetic correlation that agree closely with those from the analysis of measures of ovulation at eight estrous cycles used as a template; averages for heritability of .16 and for genetic correlation of .66 were obtained.

In insulin-supplemented (1-mu-M) cultures (serum free) there was a significant age x fetal genotype interaction (P < .01) for glycerol-phosphate dehydrogenase specific activity (GPDH); GPDH activity was genotype-dependent at 110 d (preobese > lean). The responses of S-V cultures (preadipocyte development) to 2% pig serum and to insulin (serum free) were similar. Main effects of genotype and age were significant (P < .05) for protein levels in pig serum and insulin-treated cultures. There was a significant genotype x age (P < .05) interaction for GPDH activity and protein levels in cultures treated with dexamethasone + 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (DEX-IBMX). Treatment with DEX-IBMX induced more preadipocyte development in cultures from preobese fetuses than in cultures from lean fetuses at 110 d (P < .05). The responsiveness of S-V cultures to DEX-IBMX (enhanced development) increased considerably between 50 and 75 d regardless of fetal genotype, but there was little response in cultures from 50-d fetuses. Preadipocyte development in lean and preobese fetuses diverged between 75 and 110 d, resulting in many more preadipocytes in preobese fetuses at 110 d. Therefore, S-V cells from preobese fetuses (late term) may be inherently more sensitive to adipogenic agents than S-V cells from lean fetuses.

Targeted ME intakes were 84, 123, 157, 191, and 225 kcal per kt.75 per day, which were .76x, 1.12x, 1.43x, 1.74x, and 2.05x (times) the estimated ME requirement for maintenance. After 120 d on trial, the heifers were moved to a confinement building for 7 d, and feces and urine were collected over a 3-d period. On the 1st d of confinement, blood samples were collected every 15 min for a total of 15 samples. Because the group fed at 1.43x maintenance was fed improperly during the period in confinement, this group was omitted from the study. Adipose tissue samples were obtained at slaughter to obtain in vitro measures of lipid metabolism. As feed intake increased, N retention increased (P < .05) from 1.7 to 24.3 g/d. Daily urinary N(tau)-methylhistidine excretion was significantly different between the .76x and 1.74x treatments (769 vs 1,575-mu-mol/d, respectively). The fractional breakdown rate of myofibrillar proteins also was significantly different between these two groups of heifers (1.49 vs 2.44%/d, respectively). Plasma glucose and insulin were lowest (P < .05) at the lowest level of feed intake. Conversely, plasma nonesterified fatty acids were lowest (P < .05) in those animals receiving the highest level of feed intake. Subcutaneous adipocytes were smallest (93-mu-m) in the heifers fed at 33% ad libitum intake and largest in heifers fed at 76 or 90% ad libitum intake (115 and 110-mu-m, respectively). The same general pattern was observed for fatty acid synthetase, acetylcoenzyme A carboxylase, ATP-citrate lyase, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-malate dehydrogenase. Although level of feed intake had no effect (P > .05) on stimulated lipolysis in adipose tissue incubated in vitro, it decreased basal lipolysis. Regression analysis of the correlation between feed intake and measures of lipid and N metabolism indicated that there was a threshold of intake required to stimulate lipogenesis. Measures of N or protein metabolism responded linearly to levels of intake, reflecting the higher priority of N metabolism for available nutrients.

Two paddocks of each treatment, 0 or 100% infected 'Kentucky 31' tall fescue, were grazed by the mares for 21 d. Blood was collected three times per week until parturition. At 7-d intervals, mares were challenged with throtropin-releasing hormone (TRH) while grazing and blood was collected postinjection. Mares grazing 100% infected tall fescue (E+) had decreased serum PRL compared with mares grazing the 0% infected tall fescue (E-) in 2 of 3 yr. Within 8 d postgrazing, serum PRL for E+ mares equaled or surpassed values of the E- mares. Serum PRL was not different during the 3rd yr. In response to TRH, serum PRL rate of increase was similar between treatments but remained elevated (P < .01) in the E+ mares at the 180-, 240-, and 300-min sample times. Serum progesterone was lowered (P < .05) by E+ but increased to control values within 10 d postgrazing. It is concluded that serum PRL and progesterone in the gravid mare were decreased by the presence of A. coenophialum in 'Kentucky 31' tall fescue grass but normal levels were reestablished within 2 to 3 wk.

Heifers were superstimulated with either FSH-P (total of 26 mg) or HMG (total of 1,050 IU) beginning on d 9 to 12 of an estrous cycle and PGF2-alpha (40 mg) was administered at 60 and 72 h after the beginning of superovulatory treatments. Heifers were artifically inseminated three times at 12-h intervals beginning 48 h after PGF2-alpha treatment. Blood serum samples were collected immediately before treatments began, at 12-h intervals during the first 60 h, each 4 h during the next 96 h, and each 12 h until day of embryo collection. Concentrations of LH and FSH were not affected by hormone treatments, route of PGF2-alpha injection, or interactions between them. Estradiol-17-beta (E2-17-beta) levels were higher (P < .05) in HMG- than in FSH-P-treated heifers 60 h after gonadotropin treatment. Peak concentration of E2-17-beta occurred earlier (P < .05) in HMG- than in FSH-P-treated heifers and earlier in heifers injected with PGF2-alpha i.m. than in those injected i.v. Progesterone concentrations were not influenced by treatment or route of PGF2-alpha administration, but were affected (P < .01) by the interactions between treatment and route of PGF2-alpha administration. Progesterone declined to basal levels earlier in the FSH-P- than in the HMG-treated heifers. Progesterone began to increase 24 h after the LH peak in the FSH-P group but remained at basal levels at 24 h for the HMG-treated heifers. The progesterone:E2-17-beta ratio was also higher in FSH-P- than in HMG-treated heifers 24 h after LH peak. Premature regression of corpora lutea was observed after estrus in 19% of the heifers, as indicated by decreased progesterone concentrations at the time of embryo collection. Based on the endocrine changes presented here we suggest that more research is needed to determine clearly whether HMG can be used as successfully as FSH-P to obtain viable bovine embryos.

To seek possible explanations, cows on different planes of nutrition were treated with exogenous gonadotropin and oocytes were isolated from their ovaries. The record for each oocyte included characteristics of the follicle, ovary, and cow from which it was obtained and the response to in vitro maturation, fertilization, and development. The sample was used to obtain estimates of the relationships among the variables. The logistic function with the probability of normal development as the dependent variable was the basic equation of the statistical model. When an explanatory variable was itself a result of the biological system, an equation explaining variation therein was added to the model. Had equations representing endogenous regressors not been added to the model a simple, single equation would have represented oocyte development response; given an oocyte at aspiration only one variable, cumulus quantity, was found to condition the probability of normal development directly. However, the complete model included four additional equations: 1) the probability that an oocyte was recovered at aspiration was conditional on the plane of nutritional treatment and progesterone concentration in follicular fluid; 2) cumulus quantity was conditional on the presence on a corpus luteum, follicle size, and progesterone concentration; 3) progesterone concentration was dependent on plane of nutrition; and 4) corpus luteum was conditional on plane of nutrition. The estimated model provided some insight into the complexity of oocyte development response and the role nutrition may play. C1 USDA ARS,FT KEOGH LIVESTOCK & RANGE RES LAB,MILES CITY,MT 59301.

In batch culture, .5 and 1 ppm (of the fluid) lysocellin markedly decreased (P < .01) the acetate:propionate ratio without affecting fiber digestion, ammonia concentration, or culture pH. Greater concentrations of lysocellin had negative effects (P < .05) on fiber digestion and increased (P < .05) culture pH. In continuous culture, a low level of lysocellin (33 ppm of the diet DM or about .7 ppm of the fluid) decreased pH (P < .05) and methane (P < .05) production but had no effect on fiber digestion. Lysocellin tended to increase (P < .05) OM digestion in corn-based diets but decreased OM digestion in barley-based diets (starch source x lysocellin interaction, P < .05). In addition, the molar proportion of propionate was increased more in barley- than in cornbased diets. Total anaerobes and amylolytic and lactate-utilizing microorganisms were not affected by the ionophore. In continuous culture, cellulolytic and lactate-producing organisms were insensitive to lysocellin, but, in lysocellin-treated media, cellulolytic organisms were resistant, whereas lactic acid producers were sensitive to lysocellin at 4 ppm. In summary, the ionophore lysocellin alters ruminal fermentation by decreasing ruminal methane production and increasing the molar proportion of propionate; however, effects varied depending on whether corn or barley served as the primary starch source.

All colonies had been previously requeened with marked European queens. Heritage of new queens (European daughter replacements versus Africanized usurpers) was traced by mitochondrial DNA and morphological characteristics of worker progeny. Three usurpations (5% of colony fates, at a rate of 4.7% of colonies per year) occurred. These colonies showed congruent African-derived mitochondrial DNA and Africanized morphology. Supersedures accounted for much of the introgression of African genes into the test apiaries. Twenty-eight colonies (48%) superseded their queens once, three (5%) had two supersedures and one (2%) had three supersedures. All original and supersedure queens had European mtDNA. The worker progeny of original queens had European morphology, but the progeny of supersedure queens showed mixed morphology, with mostly intermediate and European morphology in first generation workers and intermediate and Africanized morphology in later generations. Sixteen (28%) of the European queens died without being successfully replaced by their colonies, and only seven (12%) survived the 15-month test. Hives left unoccupied after colony failure would have been available for colonization by Africanized swarms. Usurpations, supersedures and colony failures thus accounted for an annual Africanization rate (i.e. a decrease in the percentage of colonies with both European mitochondrial DNA and European morphology) of 53%.

Bees were collected from each of 24 Kangaroo Island colonies to confirm their subspecies. Electromorph relative frequencies for the Kangaroo Island population were: malate dehydrogenase enzyme system, Mdh65 = 0.13, Mdh80 = 0.11 and Mdh100 = 0.76; esterase system, Est100 = 0.95, and Est130 = 0.05. Such frequencies are similar to A. m. ligustica populations from southern Italy, but dissimilar to populations from northern Italy. Morphology of Kangaroo Island bees is similar to A. m. ligustica reference specimens. Mitochondrial DNA restriction mapping suggested that the Kangaroo Island population is of A. m. mellifera origin. It is concluded that available reference material is inadequate to conclusively determine the racial origin of the Kangaroo Island population, but that recent hybridization has not occurred.

Pollen on stigmas and the bodies of honey-bees foraging on almond blossoms was identified in 1988 and 1989. The percentage of blossoms setting nuts also was measured with respect to a tree limb's adjacent pollen source. 2. Every honey-bee that we collected foraging on almond blossoms had self-pollen on its body and 90% or more had cross-pollen. In 1988, 60-92% of the foragers had non-almond pollen on their bodies, while in 1989 the percentages were 92-100%. 3. In 1988 there was significantly more self- and cross-pollen on foragers' bodies than non-almond pollen with the exception of 'Peerless' nectar collectors. However, in 1989 the percentages of cross- and non-almond pollen were equivalent except for 'Price', and were significantly less than the percentages of self-pollen. 4. In 1988, 42.1-81.2% of the stigmas we examined had self-pollen, 36.8-68.7% had cross-pollen, and 43.7-94.0% had non-almond pollen. In 1989, 60.0-100.0% of the stigmas had self-pollen, 10-100% had cross-pollen, and 80.0-100.0% had non-almond pollen. 5. The percentages of pollen types on stigmas did not differ significantly between limbs adjacent to trees of the same or different cultivars. In 1988 the percentages of self- and cross-pollen on stigmas were equivalent in all cultivars except 'NePlus' which had significantly more self- than cross-pollen. In 1989 there was significantly more self- than cross-pollen on stigmas of all cultivars except 'Price' which had equivalent amounts of both pollen types. In both years non-almond pollen occurred with equivalent or significantly higher frequencies than self-pollen. 6. Nut set on limbs adjacent to compatible pollen sources did not differ significantly from those within the same row adjacent to trees of the same cultivar (i.e. incompatible pollen sources). 7. The population of honey-bees capable of cross-pollination in almond orchards is apparently a majority of the overall honey-bee foraging population and is homogeneously distributed throughout the orchard.

Royle) was grown in six soil types amended with two levels of barley straw or peat to test the hypothesis that substrate organic matter would cause reduced growth. Soil type significantly influenced hydrilla dry weight and weight of tubers produced during 8 weeks of growth under outdoor conditions. Also, increased organic matter content (measured as loss on ignition) of the substrate over the range of 1.5 to 27.2% was associated with increased growth of hydrilla. Of 14 substrate properties, multiple regression revealed that the square root of Kjeldahl N and the square root of soil conductivity were the best predictors of hydrilla weight. These results suggest that variability in the responses of rooted aquatic plants to substrate organic matter content reported previously may be partially explained by considering properties of the organic matter, especially nutrient content.

The boxes were placed in cement tanks filled with pond water to a depth of 0.8 m. A single sprouted tuber was planted in the center of each box and allowed to grow for 16 weeks. Total plant dry weight was generally higher in the summer (May to September) than in the winter (November to late February or early March). Maximum observed biomass was 4,043 g and 4,559 g per box for dioecious and monoecious biotypes, respectively. Monoecious hydrilla produced tubers year-round, up to 6,046 per box during the summer, while tubers of the dioecious biotype were produced only in the winter. Although monoecious hydrilla produced an average of 56% more tubers than dioecious hydrilla, the average individual weight of monoecious tubers was 32% less than for dioecious tubers. Tubers produced by both hydrilla biotypes were uniformly distributed horizontally in low numbers in the middle of the box and increased in number towards the sides and corners. These data demonstrate tremendous growth potential of a single hydrilla tuber under favorable environmental conditions such as those found in South Florida.

Levels of hydrilla management evaluated represented percent of water volume occupied prior to herbicide treatment of 0%, 33%, 66%, 100%, and 100% (untreated). Hydrilla management at levels which prevented the plant from forming canopies (0, 33%, and 66%) produced significantly (as much as 2.1 times) less organic sediment than untreated hydrilla and also reduced tuber number and total weight. These results indicate an ecological advantage to maintenance control of hydrilla. C1 USDA,AQUAT WEED LAB,FT LAUDERDALE,FL 33314.

Royle] to bensulfuron methyl (methyl 2-[[[[[(4,6 dimethoxy pyrimidin-2-yl)amino]carbonyl]amino] sulfonyl]methyl]benzoate) at 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20 mg/L were determined under outdoor culture conditions in South Florida from December 1989 to June 1990. Bensulfuron methyl suppressed subterranean turion (tuber) formation at virtually all concentrations tested, and the tuber suppression level was often much greater than the corresponding reduction of plant biomass exhibited by the same herbicide treatment. The duration of tuber suppression increased with increasing treatment rales. At 0.20 mg/L, bensulfuron methyl prevented tuber formation in both monoecious and dioecious hydrilla during the 6-month culture period. Tuber formation in monoecious hydrilla was delayed for 3 months by the 0.05 mg/L treatment, but tubers were formed rapidly from April to June so that the treatment became ineffective after 6 months. In dioecious hydrilla, a similar treatment at 0.05 mg/L also delayed tuber formation for 2 to 3 months; however, there was no evidence of tuber production from April to June, likely due to the seasonal pattern of tuberization in the dioecious biotype. As a result, tuber formation by dioecious hydrilla was still reduced by more than 84% after 6 months in all bensulfuron treatments. These results suggest that proper timing of bensulfuron methyl treatments could increase the herbicide performance in dioecious hydrilla.

The average number of alleles per locus was small, and the average heterozygosity ranged from 2.3 to 12.5. The percent of polymorphic loci ranged from 16.6 to 66.7%. For one species, P. clarus, a Missouri population is compared to a population from South Carolina (Terranova & Roach 1987). Overall, the genetic variability estimates are lower than those for other North American spiders. However, the observed genetic variation is approximately four times higher than that observed in communal spiders.

Effects on D-cellobiose degradation caused by added peroxide or ferrous ion were monitored at varying concentrations and under UV light and dark conditions. Increasing concentrations of peroxide or ferrous ion resulted in greater degradation. Samples exposed to UV light (350 nm) experienced greater degradation than those not exposed.

Sixteen starting conformations of the rotatable side groups of alpha,beta-trehalose were considered, while only 10 conformations were needed for alpha,alpha- and beta,beta-trehalose because of molecular symmetry. Energies were calculated at 20-degrees increments of the two torsional angles of the glycosidic linkage, but otherwise the molecules were fully relaxed. The structure at the overall minimum for alpha,alpha-trehalose agrees well with that found in crystal structures, and also agrees with interpretations of NMR and optical rotation data. The energy surfaces for the three trehaloses differ greatly from each other, but are each similar to those for the corresponding three 2-(6-methyltetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)6-methyltetrahydropyrans. This suggests that linkage type (axial or equatorial) is more important than exocyclic substituents in determining trehalose conformations. A comparison with surfaces from the corresponding 5a-carba trehalose analogues illustrates that the exo-anomeric effect is important in determining disaccharide conformation.

The objectives of the experiments were 1) to determine whether coating the abraded intramammary devices prevented amorphous deposits and bacterial adherence on the devices, 2) to determine whether addition of weight to devices increased the concentration of somatic cells in milk, and 3) to evaluate milk production and response of mammary epithelial cells to the devices. Milk SCC and NAGase (EC 3.2.1.30) from quarters fitted with devices were increased in quarter bucket and stripping milk, but increases were similar among all devices. Macrophages were the predominate cell type in quarter milk before insertion and neutrophils after insertion. Moderate to heavy deposits of amorphous material were observed on all devices, regardless of time residing in the gland. Approximately 50% of the devices were colonized after intramammary inoculation with Corynebacterium bovis. Milk production in control quarters and in quarters with devices were similar. Neither coating with sulfur hexafluoride nor addition of weight to devices reduced amorphous deposits or bacterial adherence or enhanced milk somatic cell response.

Silage treated with formic acid had the lowest pH and concentrations of NPN, NH3, and total free AA. Both treatments decreased rumen in vitro protein degradability but did not affect in vitro rumen plus pepsin digestibility. In trial 1, part 1, 22 Holstein cows received a standard diet for 18 d postpartum and then were fed for 6 wk one of three diets containing 98% alfalfa silage DM. Although DMI was comparable, yields of milk, SCM, fat, protein, lactose, and SNF were higher when treated silages were fed. Plasma concentrations of branched-chain, essential, and total AA increased when formic acid-treated silage was fed. Rumen pH and concentrations of NH3 and VFA were similar for all diets. Rumen escape protein, estimated using N-15 as a microbial protein marker, was increased more by formic acid than by formaldehyde treatment. In trial 1, part 2, supplementation with 4.8% fish meal increased concentration of milk protein and yields of milk, protein, lactose, and SNF. Milk urea concentration was higher on the untreated silage diet. Total tract apparent DM and N digestibilities were not affected by silage treatment, although fish meal decreased apparent DM digestibility. In trial 2, 80:20 alfalfa silage:ground corn diets were fed to 12 midlactation cows in a 3 x 3 Latin square study. Milk production was unaffected, but milk protein concentration and DMI were higher when treated silages were fed. Feeding treateds silages increased plasma concentrations of branched-chain AA, essential AA, and total AA. Formaldehyde and especially formic acid treatment effectively improved utilization of nutrients in alfalfa silage by lactating dairy cows. C1 USDA,ARS,US DAIRY FORAGE RES CTR,MADISON,WI 53706.

The strategies (1 to 7) were characterized by the criteria used to rank individual lactating cows for placement into feeding groups: 1, required nutrients (energy and protein) per kilogram of DMI; 2, required nutrients (energy and protein) per kilogram of NDF intake capacity; 3, DIM; 4, test day milk; 5, test day FCM; 6, dairy merit (kilograms of FCM per kilogram of BW.75); and 7, dairy merit weighted by DIM. In terms of annual income over feed cost per cow, strategies 1 and 2 were found to be the most effective and strategy 4 the least effective, with average potential production levels of 8000, 9000, and 10,000 kg of milk per 305-d lactation, using two or three feeding groups. With the milk-feed price relationships used, mean annual income over feed cost per cow for grouping strategies 1 and 2 with three feeding groups was $21, $33, and $40 greater than with two feeding groups for potential production levels of 8000, 9000, and 10,000 kg of milk per 305-d lactation, respectively.

In trial 1, 20 early lactation cows fed 70% alfalfa silage received an average .46 kg of CP/d from either source in 2 x 2 Latin squares. Rumen protein escapes estimated in vitro were 37% (soybean meal) and 60% (fish meal). Fish meal increased BW gain, milk protein content, yield of milk, FCM, protein, and lactose; lowered rumen propionate; and increased rumen acetate:propionate. In trial 2, 32 midlactation cows fed 89% alfalfa silage were divided into two groups of 16 and supplemented with 0, 1.5, 3.0, or 4.5% CP from either soybean meal or fish meal in 4 x 4 Latin squares. Rumen protein escapes estimated in vitro were 31% (soybean meal) and 67% (fish meal). There were linear increases in BW gain and in yield of milk, protein, lactose, and SNF with either protein but no differences between proteins. In trial 3, 32 early lactation cows fed 56% alfalfa silage received no protein supplement or an average .55 kg CP/d from soybean meal, high solubles fish meal, or low solubles fish meal in 4 x 4 Latin squares. Rumen protein escapes estimated in vitro were 27% (soybean meal), 43% (high solubles fish meal), and 63% (low solubles fish meal). Protein increased yield of milk, FCM, fat, protein, lactose, and SNF versus no supplement. Milk protein content increased about .1 percentage unit with both fish meals. Protein yield increased 61, 95, and 130 g/d with soybean meal, high solubles fish meal, and low solubles fish meal versus no supplement. In all trials, fish meal slightly reduced milk lactose content but did not alter milk fat content. Results indicated that greater rumen escape of fish meal protein, relative to soybean meal, increased efficiency of protein utilization in lactating cows fed alfalfa silage.

Four dietary treatments were isonitrogenous and consisted of combinations of chopped alfalfa hay and concentrate, yielding 14, 18, 22, and 26% ADF. In Experiment 1, 40 multiparous Alpine does were used in a completely randomized block design. Milk fat content and total chewing time increased, and milk yield tended to decrease, as dietary ADF intake increased. Chewing efficiency [min/(g x kg BW.75)] for DM decreased, whereas that for ADF increased as ADF intake increased. Prediction equations were the following: milk fat yield, g/d = 115.78 - .128 x ADF intake, g/d + .00021 x (ADF intake)2 (r = .55); total chewing time, min/d = 345.33 + .32 x ADF intake, g/d (r = .60). In Experiment 2, 20 does were used in a completely randomized design. Apparent digestibilities of DM and energy decreased as dietary ADF intake increased. Rumen turnover rate and transit time of liquid were affected by ADF intake. Transit time of hay decreased as ADF intake increased. Intake of ADF affected pH and ammonia, acetate, and butyrate concentrations in the rumen. Acetate to propionate ratio increased with ADF intake. No apparent trends were observed in whole blood beta-hydroxybutyrate or in plasma NEFA concentrations related to ADF intake. It appeared that DMI and milk fat yield leveled at 22% ADF or 43% NDF. For lactating dairy goats producing more than 3.5 kg/d of milk, calculated fat output reached a plateau when they consumed 587 g/d of ADF and spent 512 min/d chewing.

In Experiment 1, the rate of DM disappearance from dacron bags placed in the rumen was increased by the additional dietary Cu and Co for alfalfa hay (14.6 vs. 8.4%/h) and corn cobs (5.8 vs. 3.1%/h) but did not affect the DM disappearance rate for corn crop residue silage (3.6 vs. 3.4%/h). In Experiment 2, additional Cu and Co increased DM disappearance rate of corn crop residue silage (6.2 vs. 3.4%/h) but did not influence the rate of alfalfa hay (8.6 vs. 7.6%/h). In Experiment 3, a random design with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement was used. The diet consisted of 45% corn crop residue silage, 35% alfalfa silage containing 60 or 40% DM, 18% high moisture corn, and 2% vitamin and mineral mix with or without added Cu and Co, respectively. Each of the four diets was group-fed to 9 light and 11 heavy Holstein heifers. Growth rate was lower with Cu and Co supplementation, but DM digestibility was improved by the additional Cu and Co. These results indicate that addition of Cu and Co above the NRC requirements may aid in digestion of low quality forages. C1 USDA,ARS,US DAIRY FORAGE RES CTR,MADISON,WI 53706.

Data were from 1056 daughters (765 selection, 291 control) of 37 bulls (17 selection, 20 control) and included BW and measures of heart girth, chest depth, wither height, and length from withers to pins and from withers to hooks taken at 6 mo, 15 mo, first calving, end of first lactation, and maturity. Other data were birth weight, change in measurements and weights from first calving to end of first lactation, monthly rate of gain from 1 to 13 mo of age, and age reaching breeding weight (250 kg). Principal component scores were calculated from standardized measurements at each age. The first three principal components had meaning (size, length vs. girth, and height vs. girth). All analyses used linear mixed models with fixed effects of genetic group, generation within group, year-season of birth or calving, parity of dam, and birth status (multiple or single birth). Sires were assumed to be random and nested within genetic group. Mean squares for sires was used to test for group differences. Generation did not differ in any analysis and was removed from all models. Selection cows were heavier, larger in some measurements, and had greater overall size at 6 mo of age. Selection cows had greater monthly rate of gain and attained breeding weight at an earlier age. Genetic groups did not differ for any other measurement or weight. Control cows gained more weight and increased more in some measurements between first calving and end of first lactation. Selection for milk yield did not result in an undesirable correlated response in any growth or body measurement. C1 CBS TECHNOL CTR,MILK SECRET & MASTITIS LAB,STAMFORD,CT 06905.

Miscibility studies revealed that these amphiphiles can significantly increase the solubility of methanol in triglyceride oils. Under most conditions, kinematic viscosity and interfacial tension results indicated that formation of large aggregates in triglyceride-solvent was unlikely. However, viscosity data for triolein/9Z-octadecen-1-ol/methanol solutions with a high methanol content may indicate that a nonaqueous microemulsion system was forming.

Penstemon palmeri is a short-lived perennial herb that occupies early-successional habitats at mid altitude in the semi-arid south-western United States. Laboratory germination experiments with seeds from nine populations showed that most seeds were non-dormant at autumn temperatures (15-degrees-C), but a majority required light for germination. Moist chilling at winter temperatures (1-degrees-C) for 4 weeks induced secondary dormancy in about half the seeds, whilst moist incubation at superoptimal summer temperatures (30-degrees-C) for 2 weeks removed most primary and chilling-induced secondary dormancy, prevented the induction of dormancy by chilling, and reduced the proportion of light-requiring seeds. The effect of 1-degrees-C and 30-degrees-C treatments persisted or were increased through drying. 2. A 2-year field retrieval experiment with seeds from three populations showed that dormancy induction during winter and release from dormancy during summer functioned as predicted from laboratory experiments to confine germination to periods during autumn or early spring and to permit year-to-year persistence of the seed bank. 3. Cyclic dormancy patterns demonstrated for Penstemon palmeri are similar to those described for facultative winter annual weeds. However, because chilling causes the seed population to diverge into Spring-germinable and spring-dormant fractions, its seed bank can persist from year to year without burial. 4. There were no clear habitat-correlated differences in germination patterns among populations, and populations from contrasting habitats showed similar and appropriate field responses. This suggests that Penstemon palmeri is a generalist in terms of germination pattern RP MEYER, SE (reprint author), US FOREST SERV,INT RES STN,SHRUB SCI LAB,735 N 500 E,PROVO,UT 84606, USA.

The wavelet transform is introduced as a technique to identify spatial structure in transect data. Its main advantages over other methods of spatial analysis are its ability to preserve and display hierarchical information while allowing for pattern decomposition. 2. Two applications are presented: simple one-dimensional simulations and a set of 200-m transect data of canopy opening measurements taken in 12 stands dominated by Pseudotsuga menziesii ranging over three developmental stages. 3. The calculation of the wavelet variance, derived from the transform, facilitates comparison based on dominant scale of pattern between multiple datasets such as the stands described. 4. The results of the analysis indicate that while canopy pattern trends follow stand development, small to intermediate disturbances significantly influence canopy structure.

Populations of these pests differed markedly from location to location and between years. Artogeia rapae was the most abundant, P. xylostella was next in abundance, and T. ni the least abundant and on many dates it was not observed. Seven species of parasitoids were recovered and rates of parasitization varied significantly over time and among locations. Diadegma insulare (Cresson) was the most abundant parasitoid of P. xylostella. It parasitized up to 100% (range 0-100) and accounted for 74-100% of the total parasitization. Cotesia rubecula Marshall was the dominant species attacking A. rapae in Washington (0-50% parasitization) and accounted for 32-100% of the total parasitization. The only parasitoid species recovered from T. ni was Voria ruralis (Fallen) which parasitized from 0-14% of the larvae.

In tests with 6 oils, soybean oil (once refined) was the most attractive to the workers; however, it was not significantly more attractive than tuna oil and sunflower oil. A comparison of the attractiveness of the commercial fire ant baits Amdro (hydramethylnon) and Logic (fenoxycarb) with a peanut butter standard indicated that Amdro was not significantly different; however, Logic was significantly less attractive. Field bait acceptance studies of W. auropunctata were conducted in the Galapagos Islands with the following: the fire ant baits, Amdro and Logic; the Pharaoh's ant baits, Raid Max Ant Bait (N-ethyl Perfluorooctanesulfonamide) and Maxforce Pharoah Ant Killer (hydra-methylnon); and lard, peanut butter, peanut butter oil, honey, and honey:water (1:1). Results indicated that the most attractive substance to workers was Amdro; however, it was not significantly different from peanut butter, lard or Raid Max Ant Bait.

The nematodes tested were: Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser (All strain); S. carpocapsae (Mexican strain); S. feltiae (= bibionis) (Filipjev) (strain #27); S. feltiae (strain #980) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar. Six dosage levels ranging from 10.3 to 329.2 nematodes/cm2, in addition to the water-only controls, were used in these laboratory tests. Each dosage-strain combination was replicated four times with 20 prepupae exposed to each individual treatment. The five strains demonstrated 100% kill at 164.6 nematodes/cm2. Except for the Mexican strain of S. carpocapsae, every strain produced over 98% mortality at 82.3 nematodes/cm2. Dosage response regression equations were calculated for each strain. Although field applications probably would require higher rates to obtain the same mortality, the use of parasitic nematodes has potential for suppressing Colorado potato beetle populations. The cost or dosage rate of nematodes may have to be reduced before the control costs would be acceptable to a grower.

The study was conducted to determine whether differences in progeny production on the various particle sizes of corn (as shown in an earlier study) could be attributed to inherent differences among the various particle sizes of cracked corn in their ability to support egg to adult development of RGB. The proportion of the test population surviving (number of live adults/number of eggs hatched) was 0.76 (214/280) for finely cracked corn, 0.79 (222/280) for medium cracked corn, and 0.72 (194/269) for coarsely cracked corn. These differences in survival were not statistically significant. Thus, the hypothesis that there are differences in inherent suitability of the various particle sizes of cracked corn for supporting egg to adult development of RGB is not supported.

Evaluation of the impact of agricultural management on BAP in runoff will aid assessment of the resultant biological productivity of receiving water bodies. Soluble P, PP, and bioavailable PP (BPP) (estimated by NaOH extraction) were determined over a 5-yr period in runoff from 20 unfertilized and fertilized, grassed, and cropped watersheds in the Southern Plains. Soluble P, BPP, and BAP loss in runoff was reduced by practices minimizing erosion and runoff, with respective mean annual amounts ranging from 237 to 122, 1559 to 54, and 1796 to 176 g P ha-1 yr-1 (for peanut-sorghum [Arachis hypogaea L.-Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] and native grass watersheds, respectively). However, as vegetative cover improved, BAP (SP plus BPP) comprised a larger portion of total P (TP) loss (29% for peanut-sorghum and 88% for native grass). This results from an increasing contribution to BAP of SP (13% for peanut-sorghum and 69% for native grass watersheds) and BPP to PP (26% for peanut-sorghum and 69% for native grass watersheds). Clearly, P bioavailability is a dynamic function of physiochemical processes controlling erosion, particle size enrichment, P desorption-dissolution reactions, and plant residue breakdown, in addition to soil and fertilizer P management. Hence, the change in trophic state of a water body may not be adequately reflected by TP inputs only. To more reliably evaluate the biological response of a water body to agricultural P inputs, particularly from conservation tillage practices, it may be necessary to determine BAP in runoff.

Current levels of tropospheric O3 are known to decrease crop yields. To assess the combined effects on plants of increased UV-B radiation and chronic exposure to O3, a commonly used constant-addition supplemental UV-B radiation system was modified for use in open-top field chambers. Lamp banks containing 14 filtered UV-B-313 fluorescent lamps were suspended in 33 chambers to which either charcoal-filtered, nonfiltered, or nonfiltered air plus O3 was added. Lamp banks provided ample levels and distribution of biologically effective UV-B (UV-B(BE)) radiation for stimulating up to a 29% loss of column O3, according to a radiative transfer model. However, ground-based measurements of solar UV-B(BE) radiation provided a more realistic base than the model for simulations of column O3 loss using supplemental UV-B radiation. Shading by the lamp bank and chamber assembly reduced the daily solar UV-B(BE), UV-A, and visible irradiances inside the chamber on average by 24% +/- 5% compared with ambient levels. Biweekly adjustments of the supplemental UV-B(BE) irradiance level and exposure period provided treatments that were proportional to the seasonal trend in solar UV-B(BE) radiation. Control of supplemental UV-B(BE) irradiance in proportion to solar UV-B(BE) irradiance during the day would better simulate the effects of stratospheric O3 depletion. However, the constant-addition system was a simpler and less expensive method than the proportional-addition system for examining the relative sensitivity of plants to the combined effects of increased UV-B radiation and O3 under field conditions.

The main treatment was a one-way H3PO4 application at five different concentrations (less than 1, 10, 25, 50, and 100 mg P/L). A constant concentration of 5 mg Se/L was added as Na2SeO4 with each application. The H3PO4 and Se additions were injected daily by a surface drip irrigation system. Plant dry weight yields did not vary significantly from one phosphorus treatment level to another, but plant tissue concentrations of Se and P increased, soil Se decreased, and soil P increased as H3PO4 application concentrations increased. Thus, adding phosphate to the soil in irrigation water contributed to Se-accumulation in mustard and led to lower levels in the soil. C1 USDA ARS,NATL SOIL TILTH LAB,AMES,IA 50011.

The objective of this experiment was to determine the impact of agrichemical placement on agrichemical movement in a ridge tillage system. Alachlor, bromide, and calcium nitrate (N-15 labeled) were applied above fifteen grid lysimeters to either the ridge top or valley area of a ridge tillage system. The grid lysimeters allowed temporal and spatial fractionation of leachate. Sixteen hours after agrichemical application, 15 cm of water was applied with a rainfall simulator. During the simulated rainfall, water flowed from the ridge top to the valley and then into the soil profile. Surface water flow increased the amount of water collected in lysimeters placed under valley areas when compared with ridge areas, which in turn increased the movement of N fertilizer, bromide, and alachlor through the soil profile.

A series of experiments was conducted to examine short term changes in soil bacterial populations stimulated by carbofuran application at field rates. In the field experiment, commercially formulated carbofuran and butylate (S-ethyl diisobutyl carbamothioate) were applied at 5.6 kg al ha-1 and 8.4 kg ai ha-1, respectively, on a soil (Putnam silt loam) exhibiting enhanced degradation of carbofuran. In laboratory studies, technical grade carbofuran (20 mg kg-l soil) was applied to samples of the field soil. Bacterial populations were estimated using non-selective (tryptic soy agar) and selective media containing carbofuran or butylate. Largest population increases in pesticide-treated soil were observed between 7 and 15 days after treatment (DAT) compared to populations in non-treated soil. Significant increases (P < 0.05) in total bacterial populations and presumed carbofuran-degraders due to carbofuran application were associated with increased populations of Pseudomonas spp. and Flavobacterium spp. Application of carbofuran appeared to provide a competitive advantage to these species over actinomycetes persisting beyond 20 DAT . Growth responses of bacteria to carbofuran in the Putnam soil were compared to those in a native prairie soil (Mexico silt loam), which exhibited a much slower rate of carbofuran degradation. Bacterial population response to carbofuran was measurable, but small and short-lived. Perpetuation of the enhanced degradation phenomenon may lie in a persistent pesticide-induced competitive advantage given to a very small segment of the MiCrobial population. This advantage may not be detectable after 20 days using conventional plating techniques C1 UNIV MISSOURI,USDA ARS,DEPT AGRON,144 MUMFORD HALL,COLUMBIA,MO 65211.

Current work in this laboratory has shown that atrazine and tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate, a flame retardant and plasticizer in many products, have the same RT on capillary dimethylsiloxane and diphenyldimethylsiloxane columns. Both chemicals have similar responses to electron capture and nitrogen/phosphorous detectors. Also, deethylatrazine and prynachlor have the same retention times on nonpolar capillary columns. Prynachlor also fragments into the three ions that are used routinely for deethylatrazine confirmation using selected ion monitoring with a mass spectrometer. While the potential exists for false positives or negatives for atrazine or deethylatrazine in soil and water, appropriate chromatographic and confirmatory techniques will avoid potential problems.

CITRININ AND RELATED BENZOPYRAN DERIVATIVES SO JOURNAL OF ENZYME INHIBITION LA English DT Article DE ALDOSE REDUCTASE INHIBITORS; CITRININ; DHMI; BENZO[C]PYRAN DERIVATIVES ID MITOCHONDRIAL-FUNCTION AB The fungal metabolites, citrinin (4,6-dihydro-8-hydroxy-3,4,5-trimethyl-6-oxo-3H-2-benzopyran-7-carboxylic acid) and DHMI (3,4-dihydro-6-methoxy-3,7-dimethyl-1H-2-benzopyran-8-ol), as well as certain synthetic derivatives, have been evaluated for aldose reductase inhibitory activity using a rat lens enzyme preparation. Citrinin and its reduction product, dihydrocitrinin, were found to have significant activity (IC50 almost-equal-to 10 muM), whereas the other compounds were 3-10 times less potent. Kinetic studies showed that citrinin was not an irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme, as might be expected of a quinone methide. Spectroscopic (NMR) evidence is presented for the existence of citrinin predominantly in the form of its hemi-acetal in aqueous solutions, suggesting that it is this benzo[c]pyran derivative which interacts with the enzyme, rather than the quinone methide form.

The first approach used an oscillating circuit whose frequency (40 to 70 kHz) was determined by a parallel-plate capacitor that sandwiched a portion of the stem. The second technique was based on measurement of the velocity of an electromagnetic pulse (frequency range of 500 kHz and 1 GHz) propagating within a wave-guide embedded in the stem (Time-Domain Reflectometry, TDR). There was basic agreement in the apparent dielectric constant as determined by the two techniques; both resulted in values of approximately 90 when the plant was fully hydrated, falling to values near 50 when water was withheld for one week. The capacitance technique was non-invasive, but was influenced by temperature fluctuations, and we were unable to calibrate it accurately against stem volumetric water content. Insertion of TDR probes did not lead to tissue damage and determination of an empirical relationship to volumetric water content allowed quantitative estimates of stem water content. Sensitivity of TDR to small changes in stem water content was restricted by the fact that attenuation of the pulse within the stem necessitated the use of short (0.125 m) wave guides. Despite this, during periods of high transpiration (> 10 kg plant-1 d-1) bi-hourly changes in stem moisture content were detectable. C1 UNIV FLORIDA,DEPT BOT,GAINESVILLE,FL 32611.

Lower pH and higher NaCl levels inhibited growth and toxin production by vegetative cells, but 15% oxygen in the headspace was insufficient for inhibition in all media. When spores were used as inocula and the tubes were gas flushed, outgrowth and toxin production generally occurred only under a 1% or less oxygen atmosphere. Occurrence of growth and toxin was favored by high pH and low NaCl levels and was related to spore inoculum size. Spores were also inoculated into a mixed fermenter with controlled oxygen levels in the headspace. Times to measurable turbidity increased with greater oxygen levels from 36 h at 0.005% O2 to 109 h at 0.7% O2; however, growth rates were unaffected by headspace oxygen levels. No toxin was observed with 0.9% O2, further demonstrating that the critical level of oxygen for germination and growth is approximately 1%.

Acetic acid (3%); lactic acid (3%), MA1 (2% acetic, 1% lactic, 0.25% citric and 0.1% L-ascorbic acids) and MA2 (2% lactic, 1% acetic, 0.25% citric and 0.1% L-ascorbic acids) solutions were applied to beef core samples of muscle inoculated with bacteria. Experimental variables were type, concentration and temperature of acid solutions and type of microorganisms. Overall, an increase in either acid concentration or treatment temperature decreased numbers of residual viable bacteria, Lactic acid solution was the most effective against S. typhirnurium with a reduction of 2 log10 at 70-degrees-C. For enterobacteria, acetic, lactic and MA2 solutions at 70-degrees-C resulted in a 1.5 log10 reduction.

Fewer bacteria adhered to the tissue surface from the low moisture menstrua when compared to contamination by buffer. Determination of S(R) values, an estimate of the total population associated with the surface which was physically attached, indicated that more bacteria remained in the soil menstruum than adhered to the surface, when compared to buffer and sand menstrua. Contrary to expectations, bacteria which contaminated the surface from the low moisture menstrua were not more sensitive to organic acids than those which originated from the buffer.

The isolate, which was identified as Carnobacterium piscicola, inhibited the growth of 17 of 21 strains of Listeria (L. monocytogenes, L. innocua, L. ivanovii, L. welshimeri, and L. grayii). Its activity was not due to either acid or hydrogen peroxide production, but was related to the production of a heat stable bacteriocin. The isolate was most active against L. monocytogenes at refrigeration temperatures due to the combined effect of the pathogen's increased susceptibility, LK5's rapid growth rate, and enhanced bacteriocin production at low temperatures. Examination of the effect of inoculum ratios in co-cultures of C. piscicola LK5 and L. monocytogenes Scott A indicated that the lactic acid bacterium was active against L. monocytogenes even when the initial level of the pathogen was 100-fold greater. Evaluation of the impact of oxygen availability, initial pH, and sodium chloride content on the effectiveness of LK5 suggested that the isolate could be used to suppress the growth of Listeria in a variety of refrigerated foods.

Eight foods, including UHT milk, canned "all-beef" dog food (cooked meat), raw ground beef irradiation-sterilized raw ground beef chicken roll, pasteurized crabmeat, canned creamed corn, and frankfurters, were inoculated with 10(3) cfu/g L. monocytogenes Scott A, with and without 10(4)cfu/g LK5, and incubated at 5 and 19C Samples were removed periodically and assayed for total aerobic plate count using Brain Heart Infusion Agar and L. monocytogenes using Vogel-Johnson Agar or Modified Vogel Johnson Agar. The growth of L. monocytogenes was suppressed in milk, dog food, crabmeat, creamed corn, and frankfurters stored at 5C. The microorganism was less inhibitory at 19C In sterile raw ground beef LK5 inactivated the pathogen at 5C and prevented its growth at 19C No activity attributable to LK5 was observed in refrigerated nonsterile ground beef or chicken roll; however, these products did not support the psychrotrophic growth of the pathogen even in the absence of LK5. LK5 was most effective in products where the background microflora was reduced by either thermal processing or irradiation treatment. The results indicate that C. piscicola LK5 has potential as a means for preventing the growth of L. monocytogenes in a variety of refrigerated food products.

Muscle structure influences generation of micro temperature environments that lead to formation of flavor-zones. Generation of such zones was also attributed to a structurally-dependent barrier to oxygen. MFQ was examined in the presence and absence of oxygen. Vacuum storage completely retarded flavor deterioration as marked by chemical markers such as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and lipid volatiles. Vacuum storage incompletely affected changes in sensory attributes; it partially retarded development of painty, cardboard, bitter and sour flavors and limited loss of desirable flavors such as cooked beef/brothy and browned/caramel.

Growth curve data were analyzed by the Gompertz equation and nonlinear regression program; generation and lag times were calculated from the Gompertz parameters. Type of acid, pH, NaCl level and temperature influenced lag and generation times. The organic acids (acetic, lactic, citric and tartaric) inhibited growth at higher pH values than inorganic acids (HCI and H2SO4). The high NaCl level interacted with type of acid and pH to restrict growth of the organism at the lower temperature of incubation. Acetic and lactic acids were effective in controlling the growth of A. hydrophila and could readily be combined with low holding temperature to render foods free of the organism.

In this technique, which is based upon pilot studies with skeletonized mandibles of archival remains, the alveolar socket walls are sealed with a coat of cyanoacrylate cement and injected with a mixture of vinyl polysiloxane and barium sulfate. Radiographs are produced with the radiopaque mixture in place, which highlights the antemortem morphology of the roots. Subsequently, the impression material is removed, resulting in no gross alteration of the evidence. The radiographs made with this technique, as well as the impressions, can be stored for later use at a trial or pending the discovery of antemortem dental evidence.

Since the last detailed inventory of aquatic macrophytes at OWC in 1973, many emergent and floating leaved species have become very restricted in their distribution, or have disappeared altogether. Possible causes for this vegetation shift are discussed. The algal flora of OWC is distinct from that in adjacent Lake Erie. Storm events are proposed to be a major factor in regulating phytoplankton species composition and dynamics in OWC. Primary productivity in OWC appears to be dominated by the algal communities rather than by macrophytes. The botanical research on Great Lakes coastal wetlands conducted to date has provided only cursory insights into these complex and dynamic communities. Knowledge of factors regulating these communities along with the roles these communities play in coastal-wetland dynamics is needed. The impact of changing watershed use patterns on these wetland communities has not yet been determined. Finally, symbiotic and competitive interactions between the macrophyte and algal communities need to be elucidated. C1 USDA ARS,SO REG RES CTR,NEW ORLEANS,LA 70179.

Handsheets of acceptable appearance were made from dry-processed fiber by both air-laid and water-laid processes. Water-laid handsheets of dry-fiberized furnish had less strength than did handsheets from wet-processed fiber. Air-laid handsheets yielded lower density and has less tensile strength compared to water-laid handsheets of the same fiber. Methods for increasing tensile strength are suggested.

The model comprises a series of dimensionally consistent, closed-form, algebraic equations, written in terms of physically meaningful parameters describing the fluid properties and initial conditions at the instant of drop impact. The relationships in the model are derived from the analysis of data generated by a computer code which numerically solves the Navier-Stokes equations for two-dimensional flow of a viscous, incompressible fluid with a free surface. The resulting simplified, algebraic model is validated using data from laboratory experiments which employ hot-film anemometry to measure drop induced boundary shear stresses. Substantial agreement is found between model and experimental results with regard to the boundary shear stress magnitudes and sensitivity of magnitudes to different water layer depths, drops sizes, drop velocities and distances from the center of drop impact.

As the 1990s begin, optical laser disk technology is changing the way images (photographs, slides, artworks, and other unique and rare historical records) are stored, preserved, retrieved, distributed, utilized, and displayed. Providing access to and preserving the collections entrusted to its care are dual responsibilities of a research institution. Photo reference staffs at large research institutions and researchers seeking access to the holdings of these institutions are finding that laser disk systems improve access to collections of imagery. Curators, librarians, and archivists are finding that laser disk systems enhance significantly their preservation efforts through reduced physical handling of original materials by their staffs and patrons and improve overall administration of their holdings. Such benefits are particularly evident at the National Agricultural Library, where innovative laser disk system applications to the broad landscape of agricultural imagery generated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture are ongoing. The success of this program and its future enhancements will have a far-reaching impact on the preservation and dissemination of agriculturally related imagery and, by extension, will serve as a model for other research institutions worldwide.

Varying rates of flow are introduced into a flume in which a given size class of gravel or cobble material is securely attached. Roughness coefficients are calculated from measurements of discharge rate and flow velocity. The laboratory data are used to develop regression equations for relating roughness coefficients to surface cover and Reynolds number. The regression relations, which are developed for values of the Reynolds number from approximately 500 to 16,000, are tested using hydraulic data collected on surfaces containing a distribution of size classes. Close agreement between predicted and measured Darcy-Weisbach roughness coefficients is obtained by adding the roughness contributions of individual size classes. Equations are also presented for estimating surface cover from measurements of gravel and cobble mass. Accurate prediction of roughness coefficients for gravel and cobble surfaces will improve our ability to understand and properly model upland flow hydraulics.

Dimensionless Huff curves are used with the CREAMS model to synthesize the frequency distribution of peak runoff rates from an experimental watershed at Coshocton, Ohio. The frequency distributions of synthesized and observed peak flows are found to correspond to each other. A sensitivity study of some model inputs showed that the method is insensitive to some uncertain inputs, which is a desirable feature. Although the method has several desirable features for practical application, it must be investigated further on watersheds in different geographic and climatologic regions before it can be widely applied.

Kostiakov parameters are also shown to be related to soil properties in a way that allows irrigation engineers to take advantage of existing data bases and ongoing infiltration research. It is suggested that the power parameter in both the modified and original Kostiakov relationship should be fixed at one-half and not subject to calibration or optimization using field data. This results in relationships with some theoretical basis, parameters that are consistent with other infiltration equations and in most cases little if any loss of accuracy in the calculation of infiltration or surface hydraulics in irrigated borders.

College students completed a questionnaire that measured involvement, moods, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions concerning five leisure activities: spending time at the beach, jogging or running, mountain climbing, boating, and biking. One year later the participants reported how often they had performed these behaviors during the preceding year. Between and within-subjects analyses showed that attitudes toward leiSure activities consist of affective and instrumental components, and that reported mood correlates with the former but not the latter. Consistent with the theory, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control predicted leisure intentions (R = .50 to .86), and intentions and perceived control predicted leisure behavior (R = .48 to .78). Contrary to expectations, involvement did not affect accuracy of prediction. It is concluded that the theory of planned behavior can advance our understanding of leisure activities.

Economic effects were estimated by the U.S. Forest Service IMPLAN input-output model using data from the Public Area Recreation Visitors Study (PARVS). In part, this was a component of a broader national effort to evaluate the analytic compatibility of these modeling and data systems and to improve the technology for estimating recreation impacts. To a larger extent, this was an effort to expand our knowledge of the kinds and magnitudes of these economic effects. Results suggest that state park visits have considerable positive economic impacts. Parks and other recreational uses of rural land may therefore provide an additional means for stimulating economic growth and stability. More research is needed to extend techniques for estimating economic growth and interdependence effects of outdoor recreation visitation. C1 US FOREST SERV,INTERMT FOREST EXPT STN,ATHENS,GA.

HPLC mobile phases contained either tetraalkyl ammonium phosphates (TAAP) or aklyltriethyl ammonium phosphates (ATAP) in acetonitrile-methanol-water. Separations of the PS components on several different alkylbonded silica stationary phases were compared. The presence of high concentrations of TAAP (or ATAP) in mobile phases invariably enhanced the retention of the analytes on a RP column. Capacity factors (k') of the lipid components increased with increasing hydrophobicity of the ammonium counter ions. The HPLC results are indicative of solute retention via ion-pairing processes. Logarithmic k' values of analytes were linearly related to the total number of carbons in each series of the quaternary ammonium salts. However, linear relationships failed when correlated with counter-ions of different structural series. The counter-ion effects were also influenced by the structures of glycerophospholipids. A marked dependence of k' values of PS on the mobile phase acidity was observed. RP ABIDI, SL (reprint author), USDA ARS,NATL CTR AGR UTILIZAT RES,1815 N UNIV ST,PEORIA,IL 61604, USA.

Xenograft tissues are routinely crosslinked during manufacturing using low concentrations (i.e., less than 1%) of glutaraldehyde. Crosslinking of xenograft tissue reduces the antigenicity, the rate of in vivo enzymatic degradation, and results in the loss of cell viability. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the morphologic and functional properties of the native aortic valve and the effects of tissue harvesting, fixation, anticalcification treatments, and mounting on PAV structure and function. Although efforts have been undertaken to design bioprostheses having increased durability, primary tissue failure still limits the long-term performance of xenograft replacement heart valves.

Twelve healthy male subjects were fed a low carotenoid diet under controlled conditions for 13 wk in a live-in metabolic unit, as part of a study of vitamin C requirement. Plasma carotenoids (zeaxanthin/lutein, cryptoxanthin, lycopene, alpha-carotene, beta-carotene) were measured with HPLC on study days 2-3, 14-15, 35-36 and 63-64. The rate of decline was rapid between d 2-3 and d 14-15, when the concentration of each carotenoid decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Although accurate figures for half-life are not possible without more frequent sampling points, mean plasma depletion half-life seemed to be < 12 d for beta-carotene, alpha-carotene and cryptoxanthin, between 12 and 33 d for lycopene and between 33 and 61 d for zeaxanthin/lutein. Because the decline was not linear over the study period, these data suggest the possibility of at least two body pools of these compounds, with one pool having a more rapid turnover rate. Because there is a significant decline in plasma carotenoid levels within the first 2 wk of a low carotenoid diet, determination of levels of these compounds may be useful only in the assessment of short-term intake.

Two types of measurements were used to determine optimal heat treatment of soybeans to maximize protein utilization by ruminants. One was to estimate the rate and extent of protein degradation in the rumen using an in vitro ruminal system. The second was to determine the nutritional availability of lysine. Methods used to determine available lysine were an indirect fluorodinitro-benzene chemical method and a rat growth assay. The product of undegraded intake protein and available lysine content was used to estimate the amount of lysine that would escape ruminal degradation and be available for intestinal absorption. As heat input increased, ruminal undegraded intake protein increased, and protein degradation rates and total and available lysine decreased. As temperature increased, the time required to maximize post-ruminal available lysine decreased. The optimal heat treatment for soybeans heated in a forced air oven was: 140-degrees-C for 120 min or greater, 150-degrees-C for 60 min or 160-degrees-C for 30 min. A loss of 15-22% of chemically determined available lysine was necessary to achieve the heat treatment that resulted in maximal post-ruminal available lysine. C1 USDA ARS,MADISON,WI 53706.

Zinc requirements were determined by the broken-line method. Protein did not affect either absorption or biological half-life of Zn-65 added to the diet. Zinc requirements based on weight gain or tibia zinc were generally greater when rats were fed 30% rather than 15% egg white. When fed 30% rather than 15% egg white, zinc-deficient rats gained less weight and tended to incorporate less zinc into bone, whereas zinc-adequate rats gained weight similarly and incorporated more zinc into bone. Dietary protein concentration apparently elevated the maximum amount of zinc incorporated into bones of rats fed adequate zinc. When dietary zinc was adequate (25 mg/kg diet), tibia zinc concentrations increased linearly with dietary concentrations of 15,25, 35 and 45% egg white. When dietary zinc was adequate, higher protein diets resulted in lower tibia nitrogen, and higher tibia zinc, without substantial changes in tibia size or calcium concentration. These results indicate that high protein diets increase zinc requirements and bone zinc deposition, the latter being a consequence of altered bone zinc metabolism, rather than improved zinc bioavailability.

Rats were assigned to either iron-deficient (approximately 3 ppm Fe, n = 60) or control (35 ppm Fe, n = 60) diets for approximately 5 weeks. The two groups were then subdivided into five groups, four based on stage of the estrous cycle (proestrus, estrus, metestrus, diestrus) and the fifth group was ovariectomized. Animals were exposed to 4-degrees-C for 6 hours. Following sacrifice, tissues were collected for analysis of thyroid hormone and iron status indices. There was an interactive effect of iron status and the estrous cycle on core temperature response to the cold (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.05). Iron-deficient animals had lower core temperatures following cold exposure than did controls, and this effect was most pronounced during proestrus. Ovariectomy resulted in significantly lower core temperatures following cold stress as well as lower plasma thyroid hormone concentrations. Plasma thyroxine concentrations were unaffected by iron status or the estrous cycle, and plasma triiodothyronine concentrations were lower (P < 0.001) in the iron-deficient rats than in controls. Thyroxine monodeiodinase activity in the liver was lower (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.01) in iron-deficient animals than in controls; this conforms with the plasma triiodothyronine findings. Brown adipose tissue deiodinase was not affected by either iron status or the estrous cycle. In conclusion, iron deficiency impairs thermoregulation in female rats, and this effect is related to the ovarian cycle. It was not, however, attributable to estrous cycle effects on indices of thyroid hormone metabolism.

Two different methods were used: (1) molecular exclusion with a TSK 2000 column and (2) reverse phase using a Protesil Octyl 300 column. Holo TTR-RBP peak areas were positively correlated to liver vitamin A concentrations (r = 0.79 for molecular exclusion, 0.81 for reverse phase) in rats with marginal and normal vitamin A status. This correlation was higher than the correlation of serum retinol to liver vitamin A in these rats (r = 0.58). The correlation of holo-TTR-RBP to liver vitamin A was also higher than its correlations to plasma vitamin A. Therefore, plasma concentrations of holo-TTR-RBP may be influenced by marginal vitamin A liver stores to a greater extent than plasma retinol is. This suggests that holo-TTR-RBP protein concentrations may be the better indicator of marginal vitamin A nutritional status in rats. The correlations of both holo-TTR-RBP and serum retinol decreased sharply at high liver vitamin A concentrations. Neither method is suitable for measuring sub-toxicity in rats.

'Sieboldiana') plants grown in the greenhouse for 20 weeks in 0.45 L (small) or 13.5 L (large) plastic pots of Beltsville sandy loam soil [amended with composted cow manure: perlite (2:1 v/v)]. In general, plants in small vs. large pots showed a decrease in specific leaf area (SLA), leaf area ratio (LAR), and mean relative growth rate (MRGR); an increase in specific leaf mass (SLM) and leaf mass ratio (LMR); but no difference in net assimilation rate (NAR). There was an increase in SLA and LAR and a decrease in SLM and LMR from weeks 0 to 4 in both sizes of pots and an increase in NAR in small pots, from the first to the second 4-week interval, possibly reflecting a recovery from transplanting shock. There were no differences in NAR between small and large pots during the 20-week period. The MRGR was 23% less in small pots than in large pots during the first 4-week interval, and 27% less during the third 4-week interval, but otherwise showed no difference. From weeks 4 to 20, SLA and LAR declined 50% and 64% in small pots and 28% and 54% in large pots, while SLM increased 106% and 37%, respectively, in small and large pots. Since NAR was approximately constant with respect to pot size, reduced LAR was the major factor responsible for decrease in dry matter accumulation in small pots. These findings indicate the important role of leaf expansion as a determinant of plant growth during root restriction. C1 UNIV MARYLAND,DEPT HORT,COLLEGE PK,MD 20742.

Fifteen cultivars or plant introductions were screened for Al tolerance by growing them for 33 days in pots of unlimed (pH 4.3) and limed (pH 5.6) Tatum subsoil. Tolerance was based upon plant symptoms on unlimed soil (leaf cupping, chlorosis or necrosis, and petiole collapse), absolute dry-weights of shoots and roots on unlimed soil and relative (unlimed/limed %) shoot and root weights. On unlimed soil, absolute dry weights ranged 4-fold for shoots and 7-fold for roots. Relative weights (unlimed/limed %) ranged 2.7-fold for shoots and 6-fold for roots. Based on these criteria, entries P1248511 (Japan), Perry (USA), P1381674 (Uganda), Amcor (Ohio USA) and Hernon 147 (Zimbabwe, Africa) were judged most tolerant to the acid soil. Most sensitive entries included Sable, Oribi and Duiker, all from Zimbabwe, Africa, and Chief (USA). Santa Rosa (Brazil) was only moderately tolerant. Entries from Zimbabwe, Africa showed a range of acid soil tolerance. Hernon 147 was most tolerant, Oribi and Sable least tolerant and Buffalo and Impala intermediate. None of the introduced gerrnplasm was superior to Perry in acid soil tolerance. Amcor (Ohio, USA), reportedly tolerant to low soil fertility and drought, was more tolerant to acid Tatum soil than Beeson (Indiana USA). Results suggest that Amcor soybean, like some Ohio cultivars of wheat and barley, may have been exposed to Al during its breeding history. Entries producing highest shoot and root dry weights on unlimed soil were also generally more vigorous on limed soil. Thus, overall vigor may contribute to Al tolerance. Similar observations have been made for selections of Ky 31 tall fescue. Our results suggested that shoot growth alone was an adequate index of acid soil tolerance among the soybean entries tested. Mineral element concentrations in plant shoots were not useful in understanding differential acid soil tolerance.

The study of root systems to elucidate their link to production is expensive and labor intensive. The use of computer simulations, both to summarize existing knowledge of root system growth and to guide research promises to speed our understanding of the complex interdependence of the crop root and shoot systems. Of the many factors restricting root penetration into the profile, soil strength is perhaps the most difficult to describe and measure. We propose to compute with general elastic theory a soil-imposed resistance to root penetration using an elastic modulus for the soil. The application of the theory to agricultural soils is discussed and the specific application to root expansion in a soil cylinder is developed. Computations of root length density profiles and root depth over time in both uniform and layered profiles with known elastic modulis are provided as examples of predicted root growth based on this theory.

Increasing evidence suggests that there are five or more types of roots, each with distinct genetic, developmental, and physiological characteristics. The presence of these different types and the demonstration that several of the more thoroughly studied types are functionally different suggests that much of the past research on root physiology needs to be re-examined. The evidence suggests that the roots routinely studied in laboratory experiments are normally either non-functional in the field, or have different functional characteristics than the majority of the active roots on field grown plants.

Photoperiodic influence on shoot/root ratios of first-year biennial sweetclover (Melilotus alba Desr.) plants was related to phytochrome measurement of day length and its regulation of photosynthate partitioning to favor successful completion of the life cycle. Short photoperiods alternated with long, uninterrupted nights resulted in low-growing shoots and rapidly enlarging taproots. The ratio of far-red (FR) relative to red (R) light and its effect on shoot/root biomass ratios were studied in controlled environments, in different field population densities, and among plants growing in full sunlight but receiving different spectral distributions of upwardly reflected light over different colored soils, plant residues or artificially colored mulches. Altered spectral distribution of reflected light can act through photomorphogenic pigments within a plant and influence photosynthate partitioning and shoot/root biomass ratio. Application of some basic photobiological principles should lead to improved plant-soil-water-light management in crop production systems.

A value of 4.7 x 10(-7) cm3/cms, which has been assumed in one ion uptake model, is approximately correct for cotton grown in soil that was kept continuously moist, but root uptake rate varies with root age, type of rooting media, soil water content and with frequency and severity of soil drying around the root. Mass flow rate radially through the root material was about 1/2000 of the assumed ion uptake value when the rooting media had been dried severely. These major shifts in root conductivity as the soil dries will have major consequences in the proportionality between mass flow and diffusion of ions through the soil-root interfacial zone in cotton.

Seedling root growth was related to amounts and forms of A1 in soil solution and A1 extracted by 0.01M CaCl2, 1M KCl, 0.5M CuCl2, and 0.33M LaCl3. Aluminum determined in the various extractants, total soil solution Al and soil solution Al reacting with 8-hydroxyquinoline, pyrocatechol violet, and aluminon showed large differences in root growth prediction ability. In general, Al extracted by 0.01M CaCl2 was a good predictor of root growth. Root elongation was more inhibited in subsurface horizons than in surface horizons. Although surface horizons had the lowest mean pH, the presence of high levels of exchangeable cations tended to ameliorate the Al toxicity. The root bioassay technique adapted here should be useful in assessing the potential Al toxicity of diverse soil types.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv 'Nugains') was planted in seven soils. Two seeds were planted in each soil and two seeds were planted in a Versapor bag that had been buried in the soil in the same 1.3-L ceramic pot. The bag separated the roots from soil. The plants were harvested four weeks after planting. Tops and roots were analyzed separately for 12 elements. Estimates were made for the contribution of each element from soil particles contained in the sampled portion, by using the titanium (Ti) concentration in root sample as a measure of contamination by soil. Concentration corrections ranged from an increase of 14% for Na to a decrease of 131% for Al. Corrected estimates of Al and Fe concentrations in the sample portion were usually unreasonably high or low. In most cases, corrected concentration estimates appeared to be reasonable for most elements. Roots grown within Versapor bags do not appear to be particularly good models of roots growing freely in soil, with respect to root tissue element concentration.

The recirculating hydroponic system was designed to supply adequate buffering and timely replenishment of nutrients during the course of long-term experiments. Nutrient solution was recharged by circulating it through columns of ion exchange and chelating resins before its return to plant culture vessels. The recirculating resin-buffered system consisted of four different types of ion exchange and chelating resins housed in separate columns: strong-acid resin to buffer Ca, Mg, K and Mn in solution; weak-acid resin to buffer pH; partially-neutralized Al on strong-acid resin to buffer P in solution; and chelating resin to buffer Zn, Cu, Mn, and Ni and to supply Fe to EDDHA in solution. Control of nutrients and pH was begun at the time of seed germination. The recirculating resin-buffered system was especially designed to limit Ni contamination in studies of the essentiality of Ni in higher plants. Concentrations of Ni2+ in solution were successfully maintained at treament levels that differed by four orders of magnitude, with the lowest level < 10(-14) M. The exchange resins maintained the supply and activities of other nutrients at levels sufficient for the growth of plants. Tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., cv. Wisconsin 55) were successfully grown for six weeks without discarding the nutrient solution in which the plants grew. The pH of recirculating nutrient solutions was well maintained throughout the study. Guard columns protected the primary resin columns from plugging and were replaced during the course of this study to restore flow rates of the nutrient solutions. Maintenance of flow rates, in conjunction with successful reloading of resins with nutrients, assures the feasibility of even longer term plant culture experiments. C1 USDA ARS,ITHACA,NY 14853.

The system was designed to permit the use of varied culture container volumes (from 25 to 1500 cm3) and dimensions (2.5 to 10 cm. dia. and 5 to 20 cm h.). The modular FTS design is divided into two nutrient delivery systems, one for large-volume containers and the other for small-volume containers. Each plant was grown in a modified Hoagland solution in a separate container. Nutrient solutions were aerated and the pH was automatically controlled at 6.0 +/- 0.2. This report describes the FTS and presents growth data for tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., cv. 'Better Bush') grown for a 57 day period. Our observations, when compared to the findings of a root restriction study made by Ruff, et al. 1987 (J. Amer. Soc. Hort.

The Cs-133 spectrum is sensitive to ionic environment and the presence of protein. In the absence of shift reagents, resonances corresponding to subcellularly compartmented Cs+, in addition to extracellular Cs+, were observed. The designated assignments for each intracellular shift were established from chemical shift, spin lattice relaxation times and compartment volume ratios for different root tissue sections. Influx studies of the perfused maize tips showed a rapid uptake of Cs+ into the cytoplasm followed by a much slower movement into the vacuole. The rate constant for the cytoplasmic efflux was found to match the rate constant corresponding to vacuolar influx. Overall, Cs+ influx into the tissue was suppressed under hypoxia. Perfusion of Cs+ -containing tips with K+ demonstrated that cytoplasmic Cs+ exchanged directly for K+ while vacuolar Cs+ levels remained constant.

Proton transport by the tonoplast ATPase was found to be much more sensitive to nitrate than ATP hydrolysis, being inhibited by 80% with almost no effect on hydrolysis at 5 mM NO3. Mercury was also found to be a potent inhibitor of this enzyme, inhibiting transport and hydrolysis by 50% at 60 and 100-mu-M, respectively. The same type of pattern was seen with other divalent cations. Millimolar concentrations of Cd2+, Co2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ in the presence of Mg2+ inhibited proton transport significantly more than hydrolysis whereas Ba2+ and Ca2+ had little effect. Both free and ATP-complexed species of these inhibitory cations appeared to be effective. When the influence of temperature was investigated, both the tonoplast and plasma membrane enzymes showed a similar pattern. ATP hydrolysis by both enzymes generally obeyed the Arrhenius model, increasing in rate between 10-degrees-C and 45-degrees-C. However, the rate of proton transport deviated from this pattern above 20-degrees-C, remaining constant up to approximately 30-degrees-C and decreasing to undetectable levels by 40-degrees-C. In the presence of 50-mu-M vanadate, ATP hydrolysis by the plasma membrane ATPase was reduced by approximately 60% versus 30% for proton transport. In addition, vanadate significantly decreased the first order rate constant, ki, indicating a lowering of proton efflux. The carboxyl-modifying reagent N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide nearly abolished transport with only a 50% reduction in ATP hydrolysis. These data are interpreted in relation to whether the link between proton transport and ATP hydrolysis is direct or indirect for each enzyme.

To investigate the effects of root temperature, N form, and Mg supply on Mg uptake and translocation by winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. 'Centurk'), seedlings were grown in nutrient solution with three root-zone temperatures (RZT) (10, 15, or 20-degrees-C), three N forms (NH4:NO3 in mM 10:0, 5:5, or 0:10), and two Mg levels (0.4 or 4 mM). Increasing the RZT increased Mg uptake rates of seedlings less than 30 days old, but decreased Mg uptake rates for plants more than 30 days old. Magnesium uptake rates were significantly higher for plants supplied only NO3 than for plants supplied only NH4. However, increasing the proportion of NO3 significantly decreased net Mg translocation. Consequently, shoot Mg concentrations at the low Mg level were significantly decreased by increasing the proportion of NO3. As was found for net Mg translocation, net K translocation was significantly decreased by increasing the proportion of NO3. However, net Ca translocation was not significantly affected by the N form. Correlation analysis showed that net Mg translocation was negatively correlated with root K concentrations. The absolute values of the correlation coefficients were increased as the medians of root K concentrations increased. The results indicate that factors inducing an increase in root K concentrations may result in a depression of net Mg translocation from roots to shoots.

High concentrations of organic acids may also increase the incidence of grass tetany by complexing Mg and Ca. The objective of this experiment was to study the effects of K fertilization on the concentrations of major cations, inorganic anions, and organic acids in cool-season forages. An experiment was conducted in a controlled environmental growth chamber using a mixture of 50% silt loam soil and 50% coarse sand. There were two K levels (0 and 125 mg K kg-1 soil mixture) and three species of cool-season grasses: Linn perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), Nordan crested wheatgrass (Agropyron desertorum Schultes), and Lincoln smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leysser). Potassium fertilization significantly increased K concentrations and the K/(Ca + Mg) ratios (on a mol(c) kg-1 dry wt. basis), but significantly decreased the concentrations of Mg and Ca in shoots of all species. The addition of K significantly increased the concentrations of aconitic acid in shoots of crested wheatgrass and bromegrass for both harvests. The concentrations of malic acid in shoots of all species, at the first harvest, were markedly increased by K fertilization. However, at the second harvest, the earlier addition of K did not significantly affect the malic acid concentrations in shoots of any of the three species. The concentrations of total organic acids (whether measured directly or indirectly) in shoots of all species were significantly increased by K fertilization at the first harvest, when added K was high in the soil-sand mixture. When cool-season grasses are fertilized with high levels of K and NO3-N, the forage produced is more likely to cause grass tetany in grazing animals.

To determine the effect of anion levels and the proportion of Ca in solution on Ca, Mg, and potassium (K) accumulation by winter wheat forage (Triticum aestivum L. 'Centurk'), seedlings were grown in nutrient solution and soil, at three levels of nitrate and three Ca/(Ca+K) mole rations (0.2, 0.5, 0.8). In solution culture, increasing nitrate levels [added as Ca(NO3)2 and KNO3] significantly increased total nitrogen (N) and Ca concentrations in the shoots, but had no significant effect on K concentrations in the shoots. As a result, increasing nitrate levels significantly depressed equivalent ratios of K/(Ca+Mg) in the shoots, thus reducing the tetany hazard of wheat forage. In soil, increasing nitrate levels [applied as Ca(NO3)2 and KNO3] significantly increased nitrate, Ca, Mg, and K concentrations in the bulk soil solution. Increasing nitrate levels from 100 to 150 mgN/kg also significantly increased Ca concentrations in the shoots and significantly depressed the equivalent ratios of K/(Ca+Mg) in the shoots, thus improving the nutritional quality of the forage. Solution-cultured plants had much higher Ca and Mg concentrations in the shoots than soil-grown plants, even when cation concentrations in soil solution were similar to or greater than those in nutrient solution. Perhaps, cation concentrations in the rhizosphere were lower than in the bulk soil solution, due to the depletion of anions near the root surface, and the concomitant decrease in cations due to the requirement for charge balance.

Plant uptake parameters, based on nutrient culture studies, together with soil chemical parameters, were used in a multiple-ion uptake model to calculate the cumulative uptake of individual ions. These calculated uptakes were then used to derive relevant ratios for comparison with those measured in plants grown in soil in a growth chamber. The results illustrate that the ionic ratios based on the model are well correlated with the measured plant ratios. Regressions of plant ratios on model ratios were calculated; the intercepts were not zero and the slopes were not one. The discrepancies between measured and model ratios were probably a consequence of deficiencies in the model and unmeasured plant uptake parameters. The results illustrate that the model is a useful way to summarize data and to generate hypotheses. C1 USDA ARS,ITHACA,NY 14853.

We evaluated the effectiveness of MES (5.0 mM) to stabilize solution culture at pH 5.5 with and without mineral N (0 or 1.0 mM NH4NO3) and its influence on growth and N2 fixation of arrowleaf clover (Trifolium vesiculosum Savi). The buffer maintained pH stability +/- 0.1 pH units in the presence or absence of mineral N. In the absence of mineral N, the quantity of N2 fixed by plants grown with MES was not significantly different from that fixed by plants grown without MES. However, with mineral N, N2 fixation was reduced 37 % with addition of MES. Tissue analysis indicated a small increase in Ca and Mg concentration for plants grown with MES. Caution should be exercised in the use of MES in studies of N2-fixing legumes when mineral N is included.

Fe chelate reductase activity in plasma membranes from Fe-deficient plants exhibited Michaells-Menten kinetics with regard to the substrate Fe3+ citrate. The kinetic data, as well as sensitivity of Fe chelate reduction to the protease trypsin, confirmed the essential enzymatic nature of the tomato root plasma membrane Fe chelate reductase. Differential enzyme rates obtained upon altering the sequence of addition of reactants in vitro suggested that the root plasma membrane Fe chelate reductase may require an ordered substrate binding mechanism for optimal activity. Partial inhibition of enzyme activity by catalase added to reaction mixtures suggested some participation by hydrogen peroxide to Fe chelate reduction in vitro. Electrophoretic separation of proteins from three different isoforms of tomato root plasma membrane Fe chelate reductase revealed similar polypeptide polypeptide profiles shared by the three isoforms. The similarity of polypeptide composition is the first step to understanding the relationship between these isoforms and the amplification of their activity under Fe-deficiency conditions.

This technique was applied to monitor the rates of iron reduction by the root system of citrus seedlings at both slightly alkaline and acidic pH. The results of this study demonstrated unusual effects of these dipyridyl compounds on the rates of iron reduction. These effects included a strong dependence on both the concentration and the type of the dipyridyl compound present. Also affecting the rates of iron reduction were the presence of divalent metal ions. Iron (Fe3+) chelates of HEDTA and EDDHA, both of which are common sources of soluble iron in nutrient solutions, dramatically iniibited iron reduction by the cituus roots. These feateres of the iron reduction reactions, monitored by the use of dipyridyl compounds, are consistent with the involvement of Fe3+ (dipyridyl)3-type chelates as the actual electron acceptors. This role of dipyridyl compounds, such as BPDS, in rhizosphere iron reduction measurements, demonstrates the need to accurately evaluate the actual electron-transfer activities being monitored.

The present work examined the stress responses using a novel, chelator-buffered hydroponic solution able to induce a wide range of Fe-deficiency and stress response even in green plants. The solution contains DTPA (diethylentriamine-pentaacetate), a chelator that limits the availability of Fe2+ (formed at the root by reduction of Fe3+DTPA) to plants by catalyzing Fe2+ oxidation back to the substrate Fe3+DTPA. This produces Fe stress and induces the adaptive Fe-stress-response in tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) and other non-Poaceae. At 18-31. 6 muM FeDTPA (with 100 muM free DTPA), tomatoes had increased rates of Fe3+chelate reduction and proton secretion, but remained green because the adaptive Fe-stress-response allowed the roots to obtain adequate Fe. Below 18 muM FeDTPA, the plants become increasingly chlorotic as FeDTPA was decreased. However, plants remained at intermediate levels of chlorosis severity at intermediate FeDTPA levels rather than simply becoming increasingly chlorotic with time as occurs when Fe is totally omitted from the solution. Because of our earlier work on root hairs which appeared to be induced by Fe-stress on tomato roots, we studied the change in root hairs and lateral roots over a 7 day period in plants grown with varied Fe in DTPA-buffered 0.5 strength Hoagland solutions, compared with traditional +FeEDDHA and -Fe controls without DTPA-buffering. At levels of FeDTPA which allowed the leaves to stay green, the roots had increased FeHEDTA (hydroxyethyl-ethylenediaminetriacetate) reduction rate and proton secretion rate, but the dense root hairs on frequent lateral roots found on -Fe plants were not observed in the FeDTPA plants. At lower FeDTPA, chlorosis became more severe; only when the plants became severely chlorotic was the root hair density and lateral frequency increased. Further, chlorosis appeared about 1-1.5 days before the appearance of dense root hairs. Fe3+-chelate reduction rate was as high as found in -Fe plants, and not significantly different from 2-32 muM FeDTPA. In contrast, the reduction rate of tomatoes grown under Fe-sufficient conditions (20 muM FeEDDHA) was one tenth that of -Fe or FeDTPA grown plants. Yield of reduction activity (rate times root yield) was greater with 12 muM FeDTPA than with 0 or 2 muM FeDTPA in DTPA-buffered solutions and greater than in the -Fe treatment. However, the quantity of plasma membrane Fe+-chelate reductase activity from -Fe plants was about 3 times greater than from plants grown with 10 muM FeDTPA. We conclude that the Fe-stress induced root hairs on tomato are an effect of chlorosis rather than part of the adaptive response to Fe-stress. This work illustrates the utility of chelator-buffered nutrient solutions in research on Fe nutrition. The ability to buffer Fe at continuing intermediate levels of Fe-stress severity provided results to clarify the role of Fe-stress in root hair development which were not obtainable using the all-or-none approach of -Fe solutions.

Their method used low levels of FeEDDHA in a nutrient solution with high levels of Ca and Mg salts to mimic the soil solution of problem soils in Iowa and Minnesota. The combination of low Fe supply and high NaHCO3 induced Fe-stress. Only chlorosis-resistant soybean and bean cultivars were able to de-repress their Fe-stress-response enough to obtain adequate Fe and remain green. Susceptible genotypes became severely chlorotic. Although Fehr and Cianzio et al. found the method reliable, commercial breeders had poorer reproducibility. As more highly improved Fe-chlorosis resistance soybean genotypes were developed, lower FeEDDHA and/or higher bicarbonate were required in the screening solutions. With these very low FeEDDHA levels (1.5-2 muM), small amounts of soil or dust contamination of the solutions could markedly shift the screening results. With the development of chelator-buffered nutrient solutions which supplied adequate amounts of all required nutrients, it became possible to use DTPA-buffering of Fe rather than EDDHA. DTPA buffers Fe2+ much more strongly than EDDHA, so that 25 muM FeDTPA is used in normal screening rather than 1.5-2 muM FeEDDHA. In the present work, we tested FeDTPA levels required to screen chickpea and soybean cultivars for relative chlorosis resistance. Thirteen chickpea genotypes with a range of chlorosis-susceptibility demonstrated in the field, and 2 indicator genotypes of soybean and 1 tomato were screened at 60, 25, and 15 muM FeDTPA and 10 mM NaHCO, compared to a control. Highly chlorosis-susceptible chickpea genotypes were chlorotic at 60 muM, while only the most resistant were green at 15 muM FeDTPA. This indicates that bicarbonate is probably the soil factor which induces chlorosis in chickpea in the field. Soybean genotypes showed chlorosis severity similar to field ratings and FeEDDHA screening solution results, while tomato remained green at 15 muM Fe. Results indicate that dicots may be effectively screened using Fe-DTPA in DTPA-buffered solutions, and that the method is sufficiently robust for commercial breeders.

Research has shown that relative susceptibility among cultivars in this nutrient solution has a high correlation with the relative susceptibility observed in wet calcareous soils which induce chlorosis. This paper provided the specific details needed by plant breeders to adapt the research reports to their own laboratory situation. We provide full details on the present recommended method using FeDTPA (ferric diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) in place of FeEDDHA (ferric ethylene-di-o-(hydroxyphenylacetic acid) used in earlier screens, including preparation of nutrient solutions, inducing varied severity of Fe-stress or potential chlorosis severity, use of indicator cultivars, and measuring plant response. The method described has been developed in cooperation with industrial and academic plant breeders, and the costs of screening have been substantially reduced by innovative response to time and personnel costs identified by these cooperators. The method is now "robust" enough to be insensitive to minor variation and contamination common to practical screening facilities.

This research was conducted to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for Fe-efficiency in a set of lines (set 1), and to test these associations in another set of lines of the same population (tester set). The population was formed by crossing a Glycine max experimental line (Fe-inefficient) and a C. soja plant introduction (Fe-efficient). Set 1 was used to construct a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) linkage map using 272 markers for the analysis. The tester set was developed to check the results obtained from set 1. Iron-efficiency was measured using 13 F2-derived lines of both sets in field plantings on calcareous soils. Set 1 and and the tester set were evaluated over two and one years, respectively. The lines were grown each year at two locations per year, with three replications per location in Iowa. Three markers were significantly (P<0.01) associated with Fe-efficiency in set 1. Two of these markers were linked and explained 31 and 25% of the variation for Fe-efficiency in the population. The other marker explained 17% of the variation. The associations were inconsistent between sets. Several important associations in set 1 were not significant in the tester set. These results indicated that of the 272 molecular markers used, none was associated with the observed variation in Fe-efficiency. C1 IOWA STATE UNIV SCI & TECHNOL,DEPT AGRON,AMES,IA 50011.

All plants were then subjected to an additional drought cycle. Similar shoot mass and leaf area were achieved in all treatments by giving more P fertilizer to NVAM than VAM plants. With few exceptions, leaf nutrient concentrations of 12 elements, including P, were either equal or higher in NVAM than VAM plants. During peak drought stress, plants with the combination of VAM-DA treatments had the greatest drought resistance, as indicated by the highest leaf water potential, turgor, relative water content and frequency of non-wilted plants. Some drought resistance, as indicated by intermediate frequency of wilting, occurred when VAM or DA were applied singly. Nutrition and plant size were not associated with this drought resistance. Extraradical hyphae development and soil aggregation of VAM plants were enhanced by drought acclimation, suggesting that these hyphae improved drought resistance by facilitating soil water uptake.

The plant-animal interface describes the continuum of interactions of the grazed with the sward. The plant grows and produces its tissues, ultimately for reproduction and persistence. The grazer harvests parts of the plant which provide nutrients for maintenance and production. Conventional research approaches have included studying one of the components while either ignoring the others or attempting to hold them static. These conventional approaches also tend to measure responses over long periods, seldom less than a grazing season of 3 to 4 months, and the responses measured are net production, usually weight gain or net herbage accumulation. Gain is influenced by many factors, including characteristics and stage of growth of both the plant and the animal. Measurements of grazing behavior, which include grazing time, rate of biting, and bite size, lend themselves to short-term assessment of responses and compensations, which the animal often makes when foraging is restricted for some reason. For instance, when forage is limited in a predominantly grass system, the size of individual bites is reduced. The grazer may compensate by increasing rate of biting or time spent grazing or both, but the compensation is limited to about 15%. These measures are often responsive to differences in sward structure and availability. Short-term intake can be calculated from measures of grazing behavior and inferences can be made concerning the grazing strategy of various kinds of grazers. These measures may be an aid in the development of ecological and production models of the grazing system.

The mere presence, however, of large herbivores, their management, and uncontrollable site-specific environmental conditions can cause significant nutrient losses. Nitrogen is of particular interest because it is usually the most limiting nutrient to production; it represents a major variable input cost; it has a variety of pathways for input and outflow; and it can have important negative environmental impacts. Large herbivores shorten the N cycle, increase the rate of N cycling, and cause significant redistribution of N. Input of N through symbiotic N2 fixation is greatest in tropical and temperate pastures, whereas wet and dry deposition provide much of the usable N under semiarid conditions. Pathways of N loss also vary with climate, with gaseous losses predominating in dry conditions and NO3- leaching predominating under high rainfall. Spatial and temporal variability in pasture and rangeland N cycles has limited our ability to predict the effects of management decisions on N losses. Development of new experimental methodologies promises substantial advances in our understanding of nutrient cycling processes, from the scale of the microsite to that of the ecosystem.

Grazing studies combining subterranean clover and bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] have been limited, however. Our objective was to determine steer performance and pasture production of subterranean clover-bermudagrass forage systems grazed at three forage availabilities. Nine 3.3-acre paddocks were established with 'Tifton 44' bermudagrass on a Houston clay (very-fine, montmorillonitic, thermic Typic Chromuderts) and over-seeded with 'Mt. Barker' subterranean clover. Paddocks were continuously grazed to either 1.2, 2.4, or 4.8 in. using a put-and-take method of grazing. This represented low, medium, and high forage availability, respectively. Stocking rate adjustments were made weekly, if needed. Grazing days per acre increased with decreasing forage height. Average daily gain (ADG) decreased with decreasing forage height. Gain per acre for low, medium, and high forage availability in 1988 was 243, 312, and 312 lb/acre, respectively and 301, 366, and 440 lb/acre in 1989. Forage samples were taken biweekly and hand separated into the following botanical components: bermudagrass, clover, dead material, and weeds. Crude protein (CP), in vitro digestible dry matter (IVDMD) or neutral detergent fiber (NDF) concentrations were not different among forage-availability treatments for any of the components of the botanical samples. Steer ADG and gain per acre were greater during the spring when subterranean clover grew vigorously than during the summer when bermudagrass was the largest component of botanical composition. The CP concentration of bermudagrass during the summer averaged 5.9 and 7.0% in 1988 and 1989, respectively, which is below the level thought to limit intake and gain by steers. Considering steer ADG and gain per acre, the optimum grazing height of a subterranean clover-bermudagrass forage system is between 1.2 and 2.4 in. Since this study lasted 2 yr, no inference could be made on the effect of grazing pressure on the long-term persistence of subterranean clover or bermudagrass.

Merr.] might increase crop yield, when compared with a monoculture, due to enhanced light and moisture use. To test this, cultivars of different maturity were planted in alternate strips of three 38-in. rows in six North Carolina environments. Five determinate cultivars were used, 'Essex' and 'Forrest', Maturity Group (MG) V; 'Centennial', MG VI; 'Ransom', MG VII; and 'Johnston', MG VIII. The cultivars were blocked so that a late-maturing cultivar (MG VI, VII, or VIII) always bordered an early maturing cultivar (MG V). Border row mean yield of the interplanted late-maturing cultivars was increased 5.7% (2.1 bu/acre) compared with its monoculture. Border rows of interplanted early-maturing cultivars, however, had an 18.0% (6.9 bu/acre) mean yield reduction when compared with their monoculture. As a result, average yield of the interplant combinations was 6.6% (2.5 bu/acre) less than the monoculture combinations. In one location (Plymouth, NC), mean crop yield of the interplanted combinations was 15.2% (4.2 bu/acre) higher than the average of the monoculture systems. This suggests that, under certain environmental conditions, interplanting varieties of differing maturity can be advantageous. Because of the average negative response which we observed, however, interplanting early- and late-maturing cultivars cannot be recommended as a general practice to improve crop productivity.

Long-term field research was initiated in 1980 on a Williams loam soil (fine-loamy, mixed Typic Argiborolls) near Sidney, MT, to determine the effect of stubble mulch (SM), minimum-till (MT), and no-till (NT) fallow methods on downy brome proliferation in winter wheat-fallow cropping systems. In 1981, downy brome was not observed in the plot area. By 1989, downy brome comprised 32% of the winter wheat community phytomass in the SM method, but was not detected in winter wheat of the MT or NT methods. Winter wheat grain yield in 1989 was 23 and 29% less in the SM method infested with downy brome than in the MT or NT methods, respectively. Pronamide eliminated downy brome during the fallow period in the MT and NT methods, and thus reduced downy brome population in the following winter wheat crop.

Merr.]. A new concept in Midwestern irrigation is the use of the same drain lines for both subirrigation And drainage to provide a total water management system and water table control. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the potential of a subirrigation/drainage system, when used in combination with a soybean production system with known high yield potential, to increase average yields on a poorly drained soil in the humid Midwest and to identify an optimum water table level for soybean in this environment. A subirrigation/drainage research facility with drain lines spaced 20 ft apart was established at Wooster, OH, in the fall of 1984 on a Ravenna silt loam (fine-loamy, mixed, mesic Aeric Fragiaqualfs). Three different water table levels (16-, 22-, and 28-in. average depth) were compared over 4 yr (1985 through 1988) using four soybean cultivars ('Sprite 87', 'Hobbit 87', 'Asgrow 3127', and 'Williams 82'). A nonirrigated treatment was added in 1987 and 1988. All plots were planted in 7-in.-wide rows in late April or early May. Averaged over the four cultivars and 4 yr the highest yield was obtained with the highest water table (80.6, 73.0, and 67.9 bu/acre for the 16-, 22-, and 28-in. water table levels, respectively). Averaged over 2 yr, 1987 and 1988, there was a 43% yield advantage (80.2 vs. 56.0 bu/acre) for the 16-in. water table level over the nonirrigated treatment.

Losses can be classified as either direct or indirect. Direct losses include deaths, weight loss, abortions, lengthened calving intervals, decreased efficiency and other effects on the animals. Losses from death and some reproductive losses in the 17 western states are estimated at $340,000,000. In addition to these are the indirect losses such as fencing, herding, supplemental feeding, medical costs, management alterations, and loss of forage which are associated with efforts to prevent or minimize poisoning of livestock by plants. Nearly all plant communities include poisonous plants, thus, most grazing animals are exposed to intoxication. However, the presence of these plants does not cause poisoning. Poisoning is usually associated with management errors, lack of forage due to range conditions, drought, and other events that would cause livestock to consume vegetation normally unacceptable. Often a sequence of events, such as storm, frost, cold, and other occurrences can influence an animal to where it will eat too much of a toxic plant too fast.

Our study evaluated 3 case studies where either all or some of the above components of grazing management were the experimental treatments. For study 1 the grazing treatments included 3 rates of stocking; a 4-pasture, 3-herd grazing system; and combinations of different kinds of livestock that were measured for 21 years. For study 2 the grazing treatments included 2 rates of stocking, 4 different grazing systems, and combinations of either all sheep or a ratio of 3:2 cattle to sheep (au equivalents) for 11 years. Study 3 measured cattle poisoned by locoweed prior to and following the implementation of a 3-herd, 4-pasture grazing system over 6 years. Sheep death losses to bitterweed (Hymenoxys odorata DC.) poisoning occurred in 13 of the 21 years on continuously grazed pastures heavily stocked with sheep and only 8 years under both moderate and light stocking rates. Regardless of the stocking rate, death losses were greatest on pastures stocked with sheep only and least with the combination of livestock species on conjunction with a 4-pasture, 3-herd grazing system. Stocking rate, multi-species grazing, or grazing system seemed to have little effect on goat losses due to oak (Quercus spp.) consumption. Cattle and sheep were not affected by sacahuista (Nolina texana wats.) in this study; however, their inclusion in the grazing herd reduced goat death losses from 5% with goats only to 2.5 and 1.5% for combinations of cattle and goats and cattle, sheep, and goats, respectively. In study 2 sheep death losses from bitterweed poisoning under continuous yearlong grazing treatments averaged 5.2% vs 3.7% for grazing treatments with some type of grazing system. Death losses were greatest under yearlong continuous grazing stocked at 10.4 ha/auy with 100% sheep and least under yearlong continuous grazing stocked at 15.2 ha/auy with 40% sheep. In study 3 the number of sick calves declined from 20% to about 3% with the implementation of a new grazing system. The reduction in sickness and loss was attributed to the reduction in grazing pressure and the shorter grazing season. It is concluded that for these case studies tactical management decisions such as proper stocking rate, combinations of animal species to be grazed, and grazing system used played an important role in minimizing livestock death losses to poisonous plants.

The nature of the toxin and its concentration within the plant can generally be precisely defined, given a reasonable amount of research commitment, but the measurement of palatability, especially in livestock, is much more difficult to achieve. We hypothesize that analysis of possible roles of toxins in plants, their metabolic activity in animals, and physical and temporal distribution within the plant can be used to examine whether or not such compounds may significantly increase or reduce palatability to mammalian herbivores. Thus, if the toxin is effective in preventing predation of the plant or plant part by insect herbivores, or if it provides the plant with a competitive advantage versus other species, but does not produce adverse effects upon large mammals until significant quantities of biomass are consumed, then the toxin-palatability relationship is not significant. This concept is illustrated by examination of the toxicity produced in livestock by consumption of alkaloid-containing groundsel (Senecio) and locoweed (Astragalus and Oxytropis) species. The prevention of predation by localization of the toxin, mobilization to the site of attack, or production at a particular stage of growth provides opportunities for the application of management techniques designed to reduce exposure of livestock to natural plant toxicants.

In addition to traditional approaches, toxic effects can be measured using behavioral principles; this discipline is called behavioral toxicology. Behavioral toxicology is a combination of toxicology, pharmacology, and the experimental analysis of behavior. Behavioral toxicology offers a sensitive means to determine toxic impacts by evaluating behavior, since behavior is a functional integration of all body systems. Concurrent use of behavior and traditional pathological measures will enhance our understanding of plant-caused intoxications. Operant analysis of animal behavior is a powerful technique used often in behavioral toxicology for establishing normal behavior, and detecting toxicity-induced deviations from normal behavior. Behavioral toxicology can provide an understanding of ingestive and reproductive (sexual and maternal) responses of livestock after exposure to a variety of plant toxins. Such information, together with knowledge about plant/animal interactions, Will provide range and animal managers with tools to use in preventing or reducing livestock losses to poisonous plants.

Animals learn about foods through 2 interrelated systems: affective and cognitive. The affective system integrates the taste of food and its postingestive feedback; this system causes changes in the intake of food items, depending on whether the postingestive feedback is aversive or positive. The cognitive system integrates the odor and sight of food and its taste; animals use the senses of smell and sight to select or avoid specific food items. We further divide cognitive experiences into 3 categories: learning from mother, learning from conspecifics, and learning through trial and error. Physiological and conditional responses enhance the ability of animals to ingest phytotoxins. Physiological mechanisms include binding the compound before it can exert its action, metabolizing the compound so it cannot exert its action, and tolerating the compound. Conditional responses complement physiological responses and further decrease herbivore susceptibility to toxins by preparing the animal for the effects of the toxin. Herbivores are likely to overingest poisonous plants when any of the aforementioned systems fail. For example, the affective system is likely to fail when phytotoxins circumvent the emetic system, when aversive postingestive consequences are delayed temporally and positive consequences during the delay are pronounced, and when toxicosis is accompanied by a change in environmental context. Likewise, cognitive systems are likely to fail when animals are unable to distinguish subtle molecular changes that render nontoxic plants toxic, when toxins in 2 or more plants interact, and when herbivores are unable to differentiate nutritious from toxic plants as a result of being placed in an unfamiliar environment. We conclude that a thorough understanding of affective and cognitive systems, and the specific conditions under which these systems fail, will be necessary in order to understand why herbivores ingest foods that do them harm.

The animal associates the taste of the food with the induced illness and subsequently avoids eating that food. Conditioned food aversion (CFA) is a potential tool to prevent livestock poisoning from palatable and abundant poisonous plants. Cattle have been trained to avoid eating tall larkspur (Delphinium barbeyi L. Huth), a particularly troublesome poisonous plant. However, several factors influence the acquisition and retention of food aversions under field grazing conditions. The age and sex of an animal may influence its ability to form and retain aversions. Novelty of the plant and the intensity of the induced illness determine the strength of the aversion. Social facilitation or peer pressure motivates animals to sample the averted food, and the aversion will extinguish if it is not reinforced. Generalizing the aversion created under controlled conditions in a pen, to a complex vegetation community in the field, may be difficult for some animals. If these obstacles can be overcome, CFA may be an effective tool to reduce the risk of poisoning on poisonous plant infested rangeland.

Decreased incidence of plant-induced livestock malformations may be accomplished through grazing management strategies. To develop these strategies one must understand some basic principles of toxicology and teratology such as susceptible livestock species, type of compound and concentration in the plant and its disposition in the animal, dose response, and the susceptible gestational period. Much of this information is known for certain plants; however, additional information will enhance our ability to control livestock losses from these plants. Certain criteria may be established to maximize grazing management methods to minimize teratogenic effects of poisonous plants. When the suspect plant grows in a restricted habitat, poses a hazard only at certain growth stages or when the susceptible period of pregnancy is relatively short, minor adjustments in management methods can be considerably successful in reducing incidence of malformations and subsequent financial loss.

D. barbeyi and D. occidentale contained more "total alkaloids" than D. glaucescens. The "total alkaloid" content of all plant tissues in the 3 species declined as the growing season progressed. Variation in the occurrence of specific diterpenoid alkaloids was established by gas chromatographic analysis of D. barbeyi plant tissues at different phenological growth stages. Highest yields of specific alkaloids were found in early growth stage plant tissues. Deltaline was the most prominent diterpenoid alkaloid in D. barbeyi and 14-O-acetyldictyocarpine is a new diterpenoid alkaloid with high occurrence in this plant. The toxicity of specific diterpenoid alkaloids obtained from the tall larkspurs evaluated in a mouse bioassay showed methyllcaconitine to be highly toxic. Other diterpenoid alkaloids isolated from the 3 larkspurs showed much lower levels of toxicity compared to methyllycaconitine. C1 USDA ARS,POISONOUS PLANT RES LAB,LOGAN,UT 84321.

Ricker] seed shattering losses is of interest because it would result in more economical seed harvest. PI 478833, a genotype with glumes closely surrounding the seed, was compared with 'Paloma' for glume pair angle and seed retention parameters. Our objective was to determine its suitability as a source of seed shattering resistance for genetic transfer to an Indian ricegrass variety. Regrowth from a 19 June 1989 clipping of 'Paloma' and PI 478833 with and without supplemental irrigation was evaluated in late July. Irrigation did not affect glume pair angle or percentage intact seed (number of seeds/ number of mature florets). Though Paloma and PI 478833 glume pair angles averaged 66-degrees and 44-degrees, respectively, percentage intact seed was 13% higher for Paloma than PI 478833 because Paloma's more indeterminate flowering pattern allowed it to replace its shattered florets more quickly than PI 478833. In a second experiment we observed individual florets of Paloma and PI 478833 for 7 weeks starting 5 September 1989. Floret opening occurred mostly during daylight hours and on warm days. Shattering events occurred when a storm followed a period of floret opening. Duration of seed retention from glume opening to shattering averaged 91% longer for PI 478833 than Paloma. After 7 weeks 83 and 35% of Paloma and PI 478833 florets had shattered, respectively. In a third experiment seed retention index (seed yield/forage dry weight) on 15 September 1989 was 0.45, 0.19, and 0.11 for PI 478833, 'Nezpar', and Paloma, respectively.

Germination of 4 seed lots of varying age was tested in relation to darkness and irradiance with red (R) and far-red (FR) light. Germination was low in continual darkness, but greatly increased after exposure to R. Irradiation with FR after exposure to R reduced germination, confirming phytochrome involvement. Exposure to R after prolonged imbibition in FR did not increase germination of 1-2-year-old seeds and only slightly increased germination of older seeds. An alternating temperature of 16 hours at 15-degrees-C and 8 hours at 38-degrees-C greatly increased germination of seeds exposed to fluorescent light and slightly increased germination of seeds in darkness compared to a constant temperature of 25-degrees-C. Greater seedling emergence of Lehmann lovegrass when the canopy is opened by burning, mowing, or grazing is likely a function of red light stimulation of biologically active phytochrome and increased seedbed temperature fluctuations.

Mountain big sagebrush (ssp. vaseyana) exhibited the widest variation in dormant seed percentage and germination rate at 15-degrees-C. Collections from severe winter sites had larger dormant seed fractions and slower germination rates than collections from mild winter sites. Basin big sagebrush (ssp. tridentata) and Wyoming big sagebrush (ssp. wyomingensis) collections were largely nondormant and germinated quickly at 15-degrees-C regardless of collection site winter climate. At 1-degrees-C, number of days to 50% of total germination was negatively correlated with collections site mean January temperature for all 3 subspecies. Collections from severe winter sites required up to 113 days to germinate to 50% at 1-degrees-C, while collections from mild winter sites required as few as 6 days. Habitat-correlated variation in germination response appears to be of adaptive significance. Dormancy and slow germination at 15-degrees-C may prevent germination during autumn storms in the mountains, while delayed germination at continuous 1-degrees-C may prevent precocious germination under snowpack. In contrast, at mild winter sites, winter germination is promoted and probably affords the best chance for seedling survival. Between-population variation in germination strategy should be considered when artificially seeding this species.

Midday stem flow varied from near 10 to about 300 g hour-1 and daily totals varied from about 1,000 to 2,000 g day-1. On days with low potential evaporation, regardless of precipitation totals for the previous 20 days, stem flow mirrored potential evaporation. On a day with high potential evaporation and high precipitation totals for the previous 20 days, stem flow was greatest and the diurnal pattern was similar to that of potential evaporation. On a day with high potential evaporation and little precipitation for the previous 20 days, stem now mirrored potential evaporation until about 1030 and decreased throughout the day, while potential evaporation remained high. Variability of stem flow between stems was large, with a C.V. of about 30% for midday rates and a seasonal average C.V. of 37% for daily rates. Stem flow gauges provide continuous and accurate measurements of honey mesquite transpiration. They respond to changing environmental conditions and are useful for evaluating short-term responses of stem flow to physiological and environmental factors in the field and glasshouse.

Compared with control bulls, concentrations of serum luteinizing hormone (LH). follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and inhibin concentrations were suppressed (P < 0.01) in all implanted bulls. Testosterone (T) concentration increased (P < 0.001) in TP-implanted, but decreased (P < 0.01) in DHTP and E2 bulls during the implant period. LH response to gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) challenge during the implant period (2.5 months of age) was less (P < 0.01) in TP, E2 and DHTP bulls than in controls. A small but significant T response to GnRH occurred in control bulls at 2.5 months of age. LH and T responses to GnRH challenge at 7 months of age (100 days after implant removal) was similar (P > 0.20) in control and implanted bulls. Steroid implants administered prepubertally had no effect (P > 0.10) on postpubertal social and sexual behaviours, including number of flehmen responses, abortive mounts, services and competitive order score. Body weight did not differ (P > 0.10) between treatment groups, but testis size was reduced (P < 0.01) during the implant period and up to 10 months of age in treated bulls compared with controls. Testes remained smaller in E2-treated bulls up to the end of the study (23 months of age), but daily sperm production and epididymal weight did not differ (P > 0.10) between treatment groups at slaughter. Control bulls reached puberty earlier (P < 0.01; 270 +/- 11 days of age) than did TP (302 +/- 11 days), DHTP (309 +/- 11 days) or E2 (327 +/- 11 days) bulls. Although puberty was delayed in all implant groups, there was no difference in scrotal circumference at puberty (average 28.4 +/- 0.4 cm) between treatment groups. Our findings indicate that TP, DHTP and E2 implants administered prepubertally result in acute suppression of serum LH, FSH and inhibin during the implant period and in post-implant suppression of testis size and delayed puberty in bulls. The lack of treatment effect on behaviour suggests that steroidal programming of sexual behaviour occurs before 1 month of age in bulls.

From 0 to 48 h after weaning, inhibin concentrations were 200-300 times higher in follicular fluid from small (< 4 mm) and medium-large (greater-than-or-equal-to 4 mm) follicles than in ovarian venous plasma. Inhibin concentrations increased in follicular fluid from medium-large follicles at 24 and 48 h after weaning; concentrations in ovarian venous plasma were positively correlated with the number of medium large follicles (r = 0.40) and with ovarian venous plasma concentrations of oestradiol (r = 0.61). Blood samples were collected for 30 days from sows (n = 6) that exhibited oestrus within 5 days after weaning and from sows (n = 5) that remained anoestrous for 11 days after weaning. Plasma inhibin concentrations rose in oestrous and anoestrous sows by 12 h and continued to rise for 60 h after weaning. Plasma inhibin concentrations rose further and were higher at 3.5-4.5 days after weaning in oestrous sows than in sows that remained anoestrous. After oestrus, plasma inhibin concentrations declined. At weaning, plasma concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were higher in sows that subsequently exhibited oestrus than in sows that remained anoestrous. After weaning, plasma concentrations of FSH declined in both groups, reached a nadir at 2.5 days, and increased gradually in anoestrous sows; oestrous sows exhibited an FSH surge at oestrus. Plasma FSH returned to preweaning concentrations in both groups of sows at Days 7-8. The results demonstrated dynamic changes in plasma concentrations of FSH and inhibin in sows after weaning, an inverse relationship of these, with the exception during the preovulatory surge of FSH, typifies the porcine oestrous cycle.

The airborne laser profiler made 4,000 measurements per second with a recording accuracy of 5 cm (1.9 inches) on a single measurement. Digital data from the laser are recorded and analyzed with a personal computer. These airborne laser profiles provide information on surface landscape features. Topography and canopy heights, cover, and distribution of natural vegetation were determined in studies in South Texas. Laser measurements of shrub cover along flightlines were highly correlated (R2 = 0.98) with ground measurements made with line-intercept methods. Stream channel cross sections on Goodwin Creek in Mississippi were measured quickly and accurately with airborne laser data. Airborne laser profile data were used to measure small gullies in a level fallow field and in a field with mature soybeans. While conventional ground-based techniques can be used to make these measurements, airborne laser profiler techniques allow data to be collected quickly, at a high density, and in areas that are essentially inaccessible for ground surveys. Airborne laser profiler data can quantify landscape features related to erosion and runoff, and the laser profiler has the potential to be a useful tool for providing other data for studying and managing natural resources.

The undispersed sediment often was much coarser than the primary soil particles because of aggregation. When this sediment was dispersed, the size distributions of the primary sediment particles usually were similar to those of the dispersed soil. Soils high in silt generally had the finest undispersed sediment. High-sand soils were coarser, and high-clay soils had the coarest sediment. Much of the sediment from soils with medium to high clay contents consisted of sand-sized aggregates. These coarse aggregates contained much of the eroding clay. Therefore, control practices that trap coarse sediment have major potential to reduce losses of nutrients and pollutants associated with clay particles.

The effects of introducing malathion susceptible males into the population were monitored by determining the LD50s for 21 day old larvae from each population. F1 hybrid larvae were found to be intermediate in resistance between larvae from the parental strains, and resistance appeared to be inherited in a codominant fashion. Populations which received only a single release of males were, in general, more malathion susceptible the greater the introduction ratio (except at a ratio of 20:1). Larger populations subjected to repeated introductions of susceptible males showed a clear trend of decreasing larval survival after malathion treatment with increasing release ratio (including the 20:1 ratio). These results indicated that desirable alleles, such as those for insecticide susceptibility, can be introduced into established populations, and that this line of research should be given more emphasis in preventing development of resistance or in ameliorating established resistance.

For new production areas these methods need to be defined. Spray-on mulch can be an alternative to conventional plastic mulch which must be removed from fields and disposed. Environmental conditions can affect yield and planting dates that benefit yield need to be determined. Cultivars with elongate or oval fruit were transplanted into spray-on mulch covered, or bare soil, at mid- to late-April or May in 1990 and 1991. Earlier planting improved total and marketable yield, and the marketable to total yield ratio, but not average fruit weight. Spray-on mulch did not increase yield, and reduced the marketable to total yield ratio and average fruit weight in 1991. The use of this spray-on mulch is not recommended for this crop at this location. Total and marketable yield of the elongated cultivar Tycoon equalled or surpassed that of the oval-fruit types in 1991. The oval fruit types had the highest marketable to total fruit ratio, and heaviest fruit. Yield was compared to receipts at a terminal market. Yield distribution from the April transplanting coincided with the distribution of eggplant passing through the market. Late season fruit produced from the May transplanting were available when there was a reduction in amounts of eggplant moving through the market.

Also computed are the rate of nitrogen fertilizer use, the com yield and the excess nitrogen fertilizer application rate. Moving toward the elimination of base acreage is the most effective way to reduce the value of a base acre thereby encouraging greater planting flexibility. An increase in the price of soybeans and a decrease in the price of com would also serve to encourage switching from continuously planting com to a com-soybeans rotation.

Research is needed at the watershed/landscape level to address the effects of changes in inputs, land use, or management practices on the ecological sustainability of modern agriculture. This research should address the impact of perturbations on the responses of watersheds relative to objective indicators of sustainability, Ideally this research would be done within a set of managed landscapes that could be perturbed to change the watershed or landscape response. The perturbations could be to the inputs of materials, energy, and management; the structure of the landscape; or the desired production outputs. An existing set of watershed improvement projects, funded by Federal, State, local, and private sources, could provide the landscapes for this research. Projects funded through Clean Water Act Section 319 grants, USDA Water Quality Demonstration projects, and USDA Hydrologic Unit Area projects provide landscapes throughout the United States that are valuable resources for research on ecological sustainability. These landscapes should be used in research to determine ways to enhance the longterm sustainability of agriculture. RP LOWRANCE, R (reprint author), USDA ARS,TIFTON,GA 31793, USA.

Optimum instrumental test conditions were a punch size of 3.15 mm diameter and crosshead speed of 5 cm/min. The force required to penetrate the exocarp of whole fruit was determined and was deemed to represent a composite of the exocarp and the underlying tissue. By placing 7 mm thick, longitudinal slices skin down on a die plate, failure forces representing the mesocarp and exocarp tissues were determined in fruit ranging from 2.5-5.5 cm diameter. Exocarp force measurements were not influenced by slice thicknesses greater than 1 mm. Mesocarp measurements were lower with thicker slices, and required uniformity of thickness to maximize precision. The exocarp was found to represent about 60% of the composite force required to penetrate whole cucumbers, regardless of fruit size. Toughness of both exocarp and mesocarp increased with fruit size. The relative contributions of exocarp to penetration of seven other fruits varied from 58 to 88%. C1 N CAROLINA STATE UNIV,DEPT FOOD SCI,N CAROLINA AGR RES SERV,RALEIGH,NC 27695.

The proposal arises from an analysis of the importance of food data, their descriptive and analytical nature, and their uses. Lack of detail and standardization in food description hinders the retrieval of food and nutrition data from various databases and the integration of such data. Standardized food descriptions can be developed and maintained in the master database, which can then serve as the interface to the many existing databases of analytical data (especially food composition data) and to databases containing data on food production, consumption, and effects, thereby linking these databases in a coordinated system, or network. The ability to link food-related databases by standardized food descriptions offers a powerful tool for scientists and practitioners in the field of food and nutrition.

The coatings described here were prepared from non-acrylic oligomers containing maleate and vinyl functionality, which cure rapidly after exposure to UV light. Odorless coatings were formed with good abrasion resistance. Their flexibility was improved by adjustment of formulation.

IDENTIFICATION OF BOVINE SERUM-ALBUMIN AS THE MAJOR SALT SOLUBLE-PROTEIN COMPONENT SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN LEATHER CHEMISTS ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article ID POLYACRYLAMIDE GELS; ACID; MILK AB Fresh hides delivered within a few hours after slaughter from a packing house or brine cured hides preserved for many months can serve equally well as raw material for leather manufacture. Although leather with very similar characteristics can be produced from both, they do not respond identically to beamhouse processing. For example the penetration of chrome into different areas of the hide is more uniform in chrome tanned stock prepared from brine cured hides than from fresh hides. This difference may be due to the removal of proteins from the hide during the brine curing. Removal of extracellular protein may help to open up the hide structure allowing more rapid penetration of chemicals such as chrome during processing. This paper describes the extraction of proteins from cattlehides during brine curing. It demonstrates that the proteins removed from the hide vary qualitatively in different locations within the hide. A single protein, present throughout the hide, appears to constitute more than half of the total protein removed during curing. The purification and subsequent identification of that protein as bovine serum albumin (BSA) is reported.

Fresh and dry weights of terminal flower buds were measured at 1-week intervals from 50 days to 1 day before bloom in 1988. Buds were also analyzed for N, P, K, Ca, and B. After bloom, ovule longevity was determined using a fluorescence method after staining with aniline blue. Ovule longevity was determined in 1990 using shoots excised at full bloom from untreated and ethephon-treated trees of both cultivars and held in growth chambers for 18 days at 5, 10, 15, or 20C. 'Brooks' flower buds showed a higher accumulation of fresh and dry weight than 'Italian', and ethephon reduced bud weights in both cultivars. Ethephon did not affect mineral content of flower buds of 'Brooks', but 'Italian' flower buds contained a higher concentration of Ca and a lower concentration of P when treated with ethephon. Boron content was higher in the ethephon-treated buds of 'Italian' trees on some sampling dates. Ovule longevity was higher for 'Brooks' than for 'Italian' in both years. Ethephon treatment delayed ovule senescence in 'Italian' flowers, but had little or no effect on 'Brooks' flowers. Increasing temperatures induced faster ovule senescence in both cultivars.

A monoecious, indeterminate, normal leaf cultivar, Calypso, a gynoecious, normal leaf size determinate x monoecious determinate F1 hybrid (UW 11234), and a gynoecious, determinate little leaf inbred line (WI 5047G) were evaluated for fruit yield at a 30-cm equidistant (109,000 plants/ha), a 20-cm equidistant (242,000 plants/ha), and a 43-cm row (272,000 plants/ha) spacing. Weed control treatments consisted of an unweeded control, naptalam benzoic acid at 6.7 kg ae/ha, chloramben at 4.5 kg ae/ha, and the herbicides in combination. Although number and weight of fruit per hectare increased with increasing plant density, fruit weight per plant decreased with increasing density. Fruit harvested from plants in unweeded control plots were significantly smaller than those in herbicide-treated plots, and fruit yield of unweeded control plots was lower than in nonweedy plots in 1987. In 1987, plants in plots treated with naptalam produced smaller fruit than plants in plots treated with chloramben or chloramben plus naptalam. Although fruit yield per plant in 1987 was similar in chloramben plots with or without naptalam and generally higher than that of plots treated only with naptalam, fruit yields from naptalam-treated plants were highest in 1988. 'Calypso' usually produced, more and larger fruit than the determinate genotypes. Based on comparisons of fruit per plant under comparable spacings, productivity of WI 5047G was often lower and its fruit were smaller than those of normal leaf genotypes. Plants of WI 5047G may not attain the source capacity needed for adequate fruit growth before the onset of anthesis, thus producing smaller fruit.

Early and late-season fruit were more easily damaged by the higher temperatures than midseason fruit. Increased times at the lower temperatures had less of a deleterious effect on weight loss, loss of firmness and color, and susceptibility to scalding injury and fungal decay than did shorter times at the higher temperatures. Nevertheless, regression equations predicted that 3 hours at 48C or 2 hours at 49C would not adversely affect market quality of early and midseason fruit. The suitability of these equations was verified through taste tests of juice. It may not be possible, however, to raise the treatment temperature for late-season fruit above 47.5C without damaging the quality of juice from these fruit.

Permeability to noncondensable gases tended to be higher for coatings made from carnauba wax than for those made from shellac and rosin.

C. Koch] were examined to define markers of cellular differentiation in the anthers. The angle between the catkin rachis and the bract, visibility of the bracteole, rachis, and anther, and anther color proved to be markers by which development could be categorized into five stages. 'Stuart' catkins with bracts as the only externally visible portion of the floret (Stage I) commonly had two locules in each anther lobe. When bracteoles became externally visible (Stage II), cellular specialization had occurred to form a central core containing reproductive cells and tapetal cells differentiated and separated from the exterior layers of the anther wall. Disintegration of tapetal cells and thickening of endothecium cell walls occurred as the angle between the rachis and bract increased to 45-degrees (Stage III). The anther wall was reduced to only two cell layers, epidermis and endothecium, as the anthers became visible (Stage IV). The pollen grains were mature when the anthers developed a yellowish tinge (Stage V) just before anther dehiscence. Tapetal cells had developed distinguishing traits in anthers of Stage I 'Desirable' catkins and endothecial cells of Stage 11. Internal anther development was similar for both cultivars from Stages III-V. Trichomes, a common feature on the surface of the staminate floral parts, became less dense with proximity of the floral parts to the interior of the floret and with catkin maturity.

C. Koch] were related temporally to the differentiation of microspores and pollen grains. Reproductive cell development was divided into seven periods based on evaluations of number, location, and intensity of staining of the nucleus and/or nucleolus; and vacuolization and staining intensity of the cytoplasm. Catkins with anthers and bracteoles enclosed by bracts did not have reproductive cells that were matured to free microspores. Free microspores developed only after bracteoles became externally visible. The Period 1 nucleus was at the periphery of the cell and a large central vacuole was present; at Period 2, the nucleus was at the center and vacuolation had been reduced. As the angle between the bract and catkin rachis increased to 45-degrees, vacuolation was reduced as the nucleus enlarged and moved to a central location in the microspore (Periods 3 and 4). The majority of the pollen grains were binucleate, and the generative nucleus became elliptical (Periods 5 and 6) by the time anthers became externally visible. Acetocarmine staining intensity of cellular components masked the presence of the generative nucleus (Period 7) just before anther dehiscence. Staining reaction for protein was positive from Period 1; starch from Period 3; lipids and polyphenols from Period 5. The mature pollen grain was abundant in stored reserves of starch and lipids and had a wall with a thicker exine than intine as demonstrated by acetolysis. C1 UNIV GEORGIA,DEPT HORT,ATHENS,GA 30602.

Twenty sporocysts were 11.7 x 8.9-mu-m. Sporocysts lacked a Stieda body, had a granular sporocyst residuum, and contained 4 sporozoites. Sporocysts were inoculated orally into laboratory mice (Mus musculus), white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus), and prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster). Sarcocysts were found only in prairie voles. Precystic stages occurred in the liver. Severe gross and microscopic lesions were observed in the liven of voles examined 7 and 8 days postinoculation (PI) of 5,000 sporocysts. Sarcocysts were present in the tongues of voles examined 117 days PI. Sarcocysts were thin-walled, divided into compartments by septa, and had osmiophilic, electron-dense, knoblike projections on the primary cyst wall. Metrocytes divided by endodyogeny and were present both centrally within groups of compartmentalized bradyzoites and at the periphery of the sarcocysts. Sarcocysts of the parasite examined in this study were similar to those of Sarcocystis montanaensis Dubey, 1983, and a Sarcocystis species Lindsay, Upton, Blagburn, Toivio-Kinnucan, McAllister, and Trauth, 199 1, with a southern copperhead-prairie vole life cycle. It was concluded that the parasite was S. montanaensis and that it may use several species of snakes as definitive hosts. C1 KANSAS STATE UNIV AGR & APPL SCI,DIV BIOL,MANHATTAN,KS 66506.

Traps baited with 100 mg of any of the attractants captured significantly more male and female D. v. zeae than did unbaited traps, but the increase in capture was greater for female beetles than for males. Traps baited with a 1:1:1 mixture of trimethoxybenzene, indole and cinnamaldehyde ("TIC") captured the greatest number of females (a 50-fold increase over capture on unbaited traps) but did not capture significantly more beetles than traps baited with a 1:1:1 mixture of veratrole, indole and phenylacetaldehyde ("VIP") or with indole alone. When this test was duplicated in South Dakota where the subspecies present is D. v. virgifera responses of females to the attractants were generally similar to those of female D. v. zeae, although relatively more D. v. virgifera females were captured in traps baited with 4-methoxycinnamaldehyde. Male D. v. virgifera were less responsive to the voltatiles than were females, but relative responses of male D. v. virgifera to the various volatiles differed from those of male D. v. zeae. In a third study, D. v. zeae showed little dose-response to four levels (0.1-100 mg) of 4-methoxycinnamaldehyde, although traps baited with 100 mg captured significantly more females than did traps baited with lesser amounts. The availability of non-pheromonal attractants for D. v. zeae may prove useful to programs for managing populations of this pest species. C1 USDA ARS,NO GRAIN INSECTS RES LAB,BROOKINGS,SD 57006.

The amount of protein associated with cell walls was reduced during ensiling, regardless of inoculation level, by 46-68%, whereas protein associated with the lignin residue was reduced to a lesser extent (< 40%). The effect of ensiling on individual sugars of the cell wall varied. Uronics of the cell wall were decreased by 12% with wilted silages (290 g DM kg-1) but were unchanged in a higher dry matter silage (401 g DM kg-1) and silages with a limited pH change during ensilage. The arabinose and galactose contents, as a fraction of cell walls, decreased (15-24%), increasing glucose and xylose contents proportionally. Inoculation decreased arabinose and galactose contents early in the fermentation when the pH decline was enhanced but final values were not significantly different (P > 0.32). Removal of the sugars from the cell wall appears to be related to pH because silages with little pH change had no change in the cell wall sugars and inoculation reduced the cell wall sugars only after silage pH declined.

Accessions analyzing high and low in-vitro dry matter disappearance (IVDMD) were selected from three morphological categories of short (grazing types), intermediate, and tall (hay types) from among these taxa. Significant structural carbohydrate variation existed among accessions and within plant and morphological categories. Significant differences in hemicellulosic monomer concentrations were also found for maturity stages and accessions differing in IVDMD. Total hydrolyzed hemicellulosic pentoses (arabinose + xylose) of plant parts were negatively correlated (r = -0.77, P less-than-or-equal-to 0.01) with IVDMD in contrast to hemicellulosic hexoses (galactose + glucose) which were positively related (r = 0.40, P less-than-or-equal-to 0.01). Similar significant (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.01) correlations for whole plant samples were r = -0.86 and 0.39, respectively. Of the hemicellulosic monomers, xylose and glucose accounted for most variation in IVDMD. The hydrolyzed hemicellulosic pentose fraction or a ratio between the xylose and glucose composition were indicators of IVDMD and would be useful in the selection of germplasm to develop improved Panicum ecotypes.

Pyruvate, an established indicator of pungency for Allium species, was determined by the lactate dehydrogenase and 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine methods. Thiosulfinate content, another indicator of pungency, was determined spectrophotometrically by monitoring the absorbance at 515 nm after reaction with N-ethylmaleimide. Significant correlation (R2 = 0.871) existed between thiosulfinate content and pyruvate concentration. In addition, a modified N-ethylmaleimide reaction was used to develop a simple pungency indicator test which adequately detected differences between bulbs. The color produced by this method was analyzed using a HunterLab reflectance colorimeter. The Hunter a value and saturation index (C) correlated with both thiosulfinate content and pyruvate concentration (R2 = 0.735-0.860). The procedure described provides the potential for screening of pungency of large numbers of Allium samples. C1 UNIV WISCONSIN,DEPT FOOD SCI,MADISON,WI 53706.

Lucerne silages taken from seven farm silos were similarly stable while three others were unstable (average DM loss of 62 g kg-1 DM and pH increase from 4.35 to 7-58 in 7 days). Under similar circumstances, maize (Zea mais L) silage had a high DM loss (164 g kg-1 DM) and an increase in pH from 3.94 to 8.13. Silages were inoculated with yeast (1 x 10(6) CFU g-1 silage) isolated from aerobically deteriorating farm-scale lucerne and maize silages. The stable lucerne silages were not destabilised by inoculation, but the instability of unstable lucerne silages was increased. Aerobically unstable maize silage and stable lucerne silage were inoculated and studied separately or as a 50:50 mixture. There was a distinct lag in the development of aerobic instability in the mixture compared with maize silage alone. In another experiment, the growth of the inoculum in malt agar (pH 3.5) as affected by the presence of fresh and ensiled lucerne (six cultivars), birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L) and red clover (Trifolium pratense L) was studied. The legume herbages did not inhibit yeast growth whereas the corresponding silages did. Five aerobically stable lucerne silages inhibited yeast development in the media whereas unstable maize silage did not. It is concluded that aerobic stability was not related to silage DM, pH, yeast numbers or glucose addition at ensiling. Stability appeared to be due to the presence of an inhibitor (or inhibitors) produced during ensilage. C1 USDA,ARS,US DAIRY FORAGE RES CTR,MADISON,WI 53705.

Three of the farm-scale lucerne silages and the maize silage heated within 4 days of exposure to air whereas the other lucerne silages were stable for longer than 7 days even after inoculation with a destabilising yeast inoculum. The silages were analysed for lactic acid, volatile fatty acids (C1 to C6), succinic acid, ethanol, and 2,3-butanediol. The concentrations of these compounds in the unstable silages were not different from levels found in stable silages on either a dry matter basis or an undissociated water basis. However, unstable silages tended to be lower in 2,3-butanediol than other silages. The time until heating in these silages was simulated using a model of aerobic fungal growth in silage. This model considered the effects of yeast and mould numbers, pH, moisture content, and lactic and acetic acid concentrations on stability. Aerobic stability in three of the four unstable silages, with and without inoculation of destabilising yeasts, was reasonably predicted by the model. Stability in the other silages was consistently underpredicted by the model. These results indicate that the stability factor found in many lucerne silages is unlikely to be one of the principal products of silage fermentation.

Leaf and stem fractions were analysed for detergent fibre composition and 48-h ruminal in-vitro degradability, ester- and ether-linked non-core lignin phenolic acids, and core lignin composition. Big bluestem leaves contained more neutral detergent fibre than switchgrass, but general composition of the fibre did not differ. Stem fibre of switchgrass had relatively lower levels of cellulose and lignin at the vegetative stage than observed in big bluestem. Esterified and etherified p-coumaric and ferulic acid concentrations were generally higher in switchgrass plant parts. Yield of nitrobenzene oxidation products from core lignin was greater for switchgrass leaves, but very little difference in composition was noted. Leaf tissue contained lower concentrations of all lignin components than stems. Maturation resulted in increased total lignification, but all components did not respond in the same manner. Variation for all measures of lignification seemed to be as great within species as between the grass species. Degradability of fibre declined with maturation. The only species difference was that switchgrass fibre was more degradable at the vegetative stage. Relationships between lignification and fibre degradability were in agreement with some, but not all, previously reported relationships. Concentration of core lignin was only a significant predictor of fibre degradability when the relationship was examined across maturity stages. Within a stage of maturity, lignin composition was more closely related to fibre degradability than was concentration. However, the best predictors of fibre digestibility differed among species, plant part and maturity. C1 US DAIRY FORAGE RES CTR CLUSTER,ST PAUL,MN 55108.

Brown midrib (bmr) mutants of forages have lignin with altered chemical composition compared with their normal counterparts. The objectives of this study were to determine if bmr lignin is more inhibitory to digestion than is normal lignin and if bmr has a consistent effect on rate of digestion across species and environments. Extent and rate of in-vitro cell wall digestion of normal and bmr stems of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench, two comparisons), millet (Pennisetum americanum (L) Leeke) and maize (Zea mays L, two comparisons) were determined. Samples were incubated in rumen fluid, and data were fitted with a first-order, nonlinear model to estimate concentrations of potentially digestible neutral detergent fibre (PDNDF), digestion rate of PDNDF, concentration of indigestible residue (IR), and lag time before digestion. The NDF, acid-detergent fibre (ADF), and acid-detergent lignin (ADL) analyses were conducted sequentially on undigested samples. The IR:ADL ratio was 37 % greater for bmr than for normal plants, which indicates that bmr lignin inhibits digestion more than normal lignin per unit of lignin. Digestion rate of PDNDF was raster in bmr than in normal counterparts in one of the two sorghum comparisons (difference of 59 %) and in the millet comparison (difference of 27 %), but in neither maize comparison. The bmr mutants were lower than normal genotypes in NDF (9 %) and ADL (47 %) concentrations. The PDNDF concentration was 19 % greater for bmr than for normal lines. Thus, decreased lignin concentration in bmr mutants increased the extent of NDF digestion but did not consistently increase the rate of digestion. C1 USDA,ARS,AMES,IA 50011.

The cell wall content of parenchyma was lower than that of vascular bundle which, in turn, was lower than that of rind. The amounts of ferulic and p-coumaric acids released by NaOH treatment of the cell walls were in the ranges 3-7 mg g-1 and 2-26 mg g-1, respectively. Parenchyma cell walls of the N line had the highest content of p-coumaric acid (26 mg g-1). This content of p-coumaric acid in the N line contrasts with that of bmr 5753 parenchyma (2 mg acid g-1 walls) and bmr 5778 (7 mg acid g-1 walls). The concentration of p-coumaric acid was highest in parenchyma cell walls that had been found to be the least digested. Parenchyma, rind and vascular bundle cells walls of the N line had much higher ratios of p-coumaric acid to ferulic acid than the mutants; rind and vascular bundle walls were less digestible than parenchyma. Small amounts of truxillic acid dimers were released by NaOH from the parenchyma walls of bmr 5778. Treatment of parenchyma, rind and vascular bundle cells walls with purified 'driselase' (containing xylanases and cellulases) released p-coumaroyl and feruloyl trisaccharides. Between 25 and 53 % of the ferulic acid that was released by the NaOH treatment could be accounted for as feruloyl trisaccharide, but only 1-19 % of the p-coumaric acid was accounted for as p-coumaroyl trisaccharide.

Sclerenchyma walls from internode 2 were degraded by rumen microorganisms, with only the middle lamella remaining. Undegraded sclerenchyma walls gave a UV absorption spectrum similar to that of p-coumaroyl and feruloyl arabinoxylo-trisaccharides isolated from bermudagrass cell walls. Absorption maxima occurred at approximately 245 and 320 nm, together with a shoulder at approximately 280 nm. Sclerenchyma from the older internodes 5 and 7 showed only partial degradation of the secondary wall adjacent to the lumen. Spectra of undegraded walls from these internodes showed absorption maxima at approximately 245 and 285 nm with a shoulder at approximately 320 nm. Spectra of sclerenchyma walls that included the middle lamellae gave a higher absorption at approximately 320 nm than did wall layers excluding the middle lamellae. Vascular bundle sheaths generally were similar in digestion patterns and spectra to those of sclerenchyma. Parenchyma cells in internode 2, which were totally degradable, gave low absorbance. Parenchyma cell walls from internodes 5 and 7 were degraded except for the middle lamellae in cells nearest to the sclerenchyma; parenchyma cells nearest to the stem centre were totally degraded. Spectra of parenchyma wall regions that included middle lamellae were similar to the p-coumaroyl and feruloyl arabinoxylo-trisaccharides, and absorbance values were low compared with sclerenchyma and vascular walls. Results suggested that ester- or ether-linked phenolic acids accounted for most of the UV absorption in young sclerenchyma and young and old parenchyma; lignin-like aromatics increased in older, poorly digested sclerenchyma as ester/ether-type compounds decreased. An estimation of the amount of 'ferulic acid equivalents' of the walls was made assuming all the absorbance at approximately lambda(max) 320 nm was due to ferulic acid; older sclerenchyma walls had the highest values (160 mg g-1 walls) and parenchyma walls the lowest (11 mg g-1 walls).

The amounts of saponifiable phenolic acid monomers and cyclobutane dimers released and the digestibility of the treated blades (ie % dry weight loss) were determined. Leaf sections were examined by scanning electron microscopy for biodegradation of cell types and histochemically (light microscopy) for lignin after treatment with sodium hydroxide. Treatment with 0.1 M sodium hydroxide for 1 h resulted in only minor changes from untreated sections. However, this treatment for 24 h released 86 % of the ferulic acid, 65 % of the dimers, and c 50 % of the p-coumaric acid. Digestibility was increased from 6.5 % in the untreated control to 56.6 %. Substantial loss of the slowly biodegradable tissues (ie epidermis and parenchyma bundle sheath) and partial biodegradation and disruption of the refractory tissues (ie sclerenchyma, xylem and mestome sheath) occurred; histochemical reactions for lignin were less intense after NaOH treatment. Treatment with 1 M sodium hydroxide for 24 h released 50 % of the p-coumaric acid and the remainder of the alkali-extractable ferulic acid and dimers, increased digestibility to 72 %, and increased biodegradation of mesophyll and phloem. Mestome sheath cell walls only gave a histochemical reaction for phenolics and the reaction was weak after 1 M NaOH treatment. Alkali treatment increased the biodegradation of all cell types, with lignified tissues reduced to single-cell fibres after 1 and 2 M treatments.

Stem material from lucerne (Medicago sativa L), smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss) and maize (Zea mays L) stalks was treated with alkaline hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, sodium chlorite, sodium hydroxide. nitrobenzene. and the lignolytic fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Klason lignin and esterified and etherified phenolic acids were determined. Cell wall neutral sugar and uronic acid composition and the extent of in-vitro degradability were measured. Chemical delignification generally removed lignin, but the fungal treatment resulted in the removal of more polysaccharide than lignin. The concentrations of esterified and etherified p-coumaric and ferulic acids were generally reduced in treated cell walls: chlorite treatment preferentially removing p-coumaric acid whereas nitrobenzene treatment removed more ferulic acid. Syringyl moieties were completely removed from the core lignin polymer by nitrobenzene treatment of forage stems. Alkaline hydrogen peroxide and nitrobenzene were generally the most effective delignification treatments for improving polysaccharide degradability, with the grass species responding similarly to delignification whereas lucerne was somewhat less responsive. Fungal delignification, under these experimental conditions, did not improve cell wall degradability of these forages. Multiple regression and covariate analyses indicated that the lignin components measured were not powerful predictors of cell wall degradability. Neither the concentration nor the composition of the lignin fractions was consistently correlated with degradation. This lack of effect was attributed to the more generalised disruption of the cell wall matrix structure by delignification treatments. C1 USDA ARS,US DAIRY FORAGE RES CTR,MADISON,WI 53706.

Twenty-one of 170 fecal specimens were DNA probe test positive, whereas 35 specimens were positive by 1 or more of the cultivation methods evaluated. Four specimens were DNA probe test positive but were negative by fecal culture. The probe test detected M. paratuberculosis DNA in 62.9% of the specimens positive by a sedimentation culture method, in 56.6% of those positive by a centrifugation culture method, and in 65.4% of the specimens positive by the Cornell culture method. Specificity of the DNA probe test was approximately 97% relative to all culture methods. Generally, the probe test detected M. paratuberculosis DNA in fecal specimens from animals shedding at least 10(4) M. paratuberculosis colony forming units per gram of feces. Although the probe test did not detect all of the cattle shedding M. paratuberculosis, it was possible to identify cattle shedding the greatest number of organisms in 3 days compared with a minimum of 6 weeks required for positive culture results. The centrifugation method resulted in the most isolations of M. paratuberculosis after 12 weeks of incubation. However, contamination also was greatest when the centrifugation method was used. Contamination was best controlled using the Cornell method. The sedimentation method was the least time consuming and yielded results similar to those of the other 2 methods.

Raccoons were divided into four groups of three animals each. A dilution of the rabies virus suspension, 10(2.4), 10(3.4), or 10(4.8) mouse intracerebral lethal dose50 (MICLD50), was administered into the masseter muscles of each animal. Three negative control animals received only diluent. Saliva and sera were collected on post-inoculation days 35, 63 and 92 for virus isolation and determination of serum neutralizing antibody titer. All animals survived the 92 day observation period and none exhibited the behavioral changes classically associated with clinical rabies virus infections. Rabies virus was not detected in the saliva of any raccoon and two of the three animals receiving the highest inoculum developed serum neutralizing antibodies (SNA). On day 92, a challenge suspension of New York City/Georgia (NYC/GA) strain rabies virus in fox salivary glands (10(3.2) MICLD50) was administered to all 12 raccoons. All animals succumbed to rabies virus except the two animals that had earlier developed SNA. The results of this study provided evidence about the susceptibility of raccoons to a skunk rabies virus and demonstrated that exposed raccoons could survive for at least 92 days following exposure. Furthermore, animals developing SNA under such circumstances were capable of withstanding challenge with rabies virus that was fatal for seronegative raccoons.

Features of barrier island physiography and ecology were studied relative to selective bait deployment and site biosecurity. Capture-mark-recapture data were obtained from 228 raccoons. Raccoon density estimates, using a modified census assessment technique, were one raccoon per 1.8 to 2.7 ha. Mean (+/- SE) and range home area estimates of radio-collared raccoons were 84 (+/- 15.6) ha (27 to 176 ha) by a minimum convex polygon method and 138 (+/- 22.8) ha (43 to 241 ha), by a harmonic mean transformation method. Habitat utilization determinations of radio-collared raccoons were conducted to identify study areas to potentially maximize selectivity of bait towards raccoons and to reduce the absolute number of baits deployed. Island raccoons showed a habitat preference for maritime forest, maritime shrub and marsh areas. Additionally, there was no evidence of inter-island or mainland exchange of ear-tagged or radio-collared raccoons. A disease and mortality survey was conducted to identify baseline pathology and incidental lesions in the target raccoon population, prior to actual vaccination initiation. Thirty-eight percent of 30 clinically suspect raccoons sampled had intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusions diagnostic of canine distemper; no other lesions suggestive of viral etiologies were found. Serological surveys for raccoon poxvirus and rabies virus antibodies were negative. Antibody titers to canine adenovirus 1 and 2 indicated a moderate level of exposure (approximately 10 to 16%) in the raccoon population. Overall, 93 to 100% of placebo baits were consistently disturbed by 7 days post-bait deployment, and bait acceptance rates by raccoons ranged from 49 to 85%, by using a modular systems approach to select the optimum combination of bait attractant, biomarker, matrix, density, and distribution. These results suggest that a large proportion (up to 85%) of a free-ranging island raccoon population can be selectively and safely targeted, marked and monitored utilizing a proposed oral bait delivery system for recombinant or other rabies vaccines.

Estimated mean daily weight gain of f awns was 0. 2 kg. The regression equation for metabolic rate was: Metabolic rate (kcal/kg0.75/day) = 56.1 + 1.3 (age in days), r = 0.65, P < 0.001). Regression equations were also used to relate age to red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin concentration (Hb), packed cell volume, white blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin. The age relationships of Hb, MCHC, and smaller RBC's were indicative of an increasing and more efficient oxygen-carrying and exchange capacity to fulfill the increasing metabolic demands for oxygen associated with increasing body size.

Such information is particularly meager in regard to bighorn sheep. We report the susceptibility of two Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) to experimental infection with a well characterized field isolate of Anaplasma ovis obtained from domestic sheep in Idaho. Both bighorn sheep developed infection resulting in severe clinical disease, with relatively high parasitemias, icterus and anemia. One animal required tetracycline therapy and responded well to treatment, while the other recovered uneventfully without treatment. Both bighorn sheep were spleen-intact, a condition that in A. ovis-exposed domestic sheep typically is associated with mild infection. The results indicate that bighorn sheep may be adversely affected if exposed to the organism in nature. C1 USDA ARS,ANIM DIS RES UNIT,PULLMAN,WA 99164.

The neurologic abnormalities observed included ataxia, drooping wings, head tremors, torticollis, and circling. At necropsy, discrete yellowish-white nodules, varying in size from 2 to 5 mm, were present in the spleen. White nodular lesions approximately 2 mm in diameter were observed beneath the mucosal surface of the distal esophagus. Histopathologic examination of the splenic nodules disclosed large numbers of primitive lymphoreticular cells with leptochromatic nuclei and abundant, slightly basophilic cytoplasms. The mitotic index in these cells was moderate to high. Similar neoplastic cells composed the masses observed in the esophagus. Multifocal, mild perivascular cuffing with mononuclear cells was found in the lumbar spinal cord, brain, and brain stem. Reticuloendotheliosis virus, subtype 3, was isolated from samples of the spleen and liver. C1 USDA,RUSSELL RES CTR,FOOD SAFETY INSPECT SERV,ATHENS,GA 30602.

Consequently, we studied breeding bird populations in an extensively forested region of southern Missouri to determine if the numbers of breeding birds differed between areas (n = 9) managed by the clearcutting method (CCM), and areas (n = 9) of mature forest with no recent timber harvest or other disturbances (NOHVST). Three forest interior migrants had lower (P < 0.06) mean densities on CCM sites than NOHVST sites; 3 had greater (P < 0.03) densities on CCM sites; and densities of 3 others did not differ (P > 0.40) between treatments. All early successional migrants had greater (P < 0.01) densities on CCM sites. Numbers of 2 avian nest predators and a brood parasite did not differ (P > 0.20) on CCM and NOHVST sites. Densities of 9 species differed (P < 0.10) among regeneration, sapling, and pole-sawtimber habitats on CCM sites. While clearcutting reduced numbers of forest interior birds that were dependent on mature forest habitats, other forest interior species made extensive use of early and mid-successional even-aged stands and occurred in greater numbers on CCM sites.

In most study areas and years, there were no differences (P > 0.05) in survival of males and females or in survival of radio-marked versus banded owls. There was no difference (P = 0.31) in mean mass of owls before and after they had worn radio transmitters. Radio-marked owls produced fewer (P < 0.01) young than did owls that were not radio-marked. Because of the possible relationship between lower productivity and large (> 19-g) backpack style transmitters, we recommend that researchers consider the use of smaller transmitters mounted on the tail.

Data from four wilderness areas show stronger place and wilderness attachment to be associated with previous visits, rural residence, a setting (as opposed to activity or group) focus, visiting alone and on weekdays, hunting in the area, and sensitivity to site impacts and horse encounters. Place attachment is also associated with a lack of nonwilderness substitutes and lower income and education. Wilderness attachment is associated with membership in wilderness and conservation organizations, visits to more wilderness areas, a preference for longer visits, participation in nature study, and sensitivity to sight and sound intrusions and hiker encounters. The importance of understanding emotional and symbolic values of natural resources is discussed in relation to managing recreation user conflicts and public involvement in wildland resource planning.

Two different anesthetics were used. Compared to decapitation, euthanasia by anesthesia significantly increased plasma glucose and triglyceride levels but not plasma cholesterol. Plasma insulin was also significantly increased by anesthetics. No significant differences were observed in plasma glucagon levels or insulin and glucagon receptors from liver plasma membranes between rats euthanized by decapitation and anesthesia. Glucagon receptors were however, affected by dietary carbohydrates. It is concluded that in studies involving measurements of metabolic and hormonal parameters, the use of anesthesia is to be avoided for euthanasia and that decapitation should be the method of choice.

Formalin-fixed liver slices were evaluated using MRI. The MRI data and histological observations on liver pathology correlate. MRI showed several regions in pathologic liver tissue with a standard deviation in T2 values of 7.92 ms. In reference liver tissue, regions chosen at random gave a standard deviation of 1.05 ms in T2 times. This study suggests that T2 relaxation times in conjunction with MRI may provide a non-invasive method that will permit study of the progression of hepatic neoplasms in mummichog exposed to chemical carcinogens in the environment.

Increasing the frequency of favorable alleles will increase the probability of obtaining superior inbred lines for use in hybrids. The Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic (BSSS) maize (Zea mays L.) population has been involved in continuous recurrent selection since 1939. Thirteen cycles of selection have been completed. The first seven cycles were half-sib selection using the double-cross Iowa 13 as a tester. After completion of seven cycles of half-sib selection, the population was renamed BS13 and six cycles of S2-progeny selection were completed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the responses of the populations per se to 13 cycles of recurrent selection. The CO to C7 of half-sib selection and the CO to C6 fo S2-progeny selection were evaluated at four Iowa locations in 1989 and 1990. The average rate of response for yield after seven cycles of half-sib selection was 1.64** q ha-1 cycle-1 (3.9% cycle-1). Changes in other traits were generally in the desired direction, except for grain moisture and root lodging for which the responses were positive, but relatively small. Unlike half-sib selection, six cycles of S2-progeny selection did not significantly improve yield of the population per se. changes in other traits were generally small and not agronomically important. Theoretically, the lack of population per se improvement following S2-progeny selection is an unexpected result, because in the absence of overdominance, S2-progeny selection is expected to be superior to other methods of recurrent selection. Empirical data from this and other studies do not support the theoretical superiority of inbred progeny selection over other types of recurrent selection.

A modification of the procedure was suggested that uses two inbred lines as testers instead of the populations. The purpose of our research was to compare the two procedures for progress achieved after three cycles of recurrent selection. The populations were BS21 and BS22 Synthetics used in a reciprocal recurrent selection program (BS213 x BS22R). For the modified procedure, inbred A632 was the tester for BS21, [BS21(A632HI)]; and inbred H99, for BS22, [BS22(H99HI)]. Progress was evaluated in six crosses: BS21(R) x BS22(R), BS21(A632HI) x A632, BS22(H99HI) x H99, BS21(R) x A632, BS22(R) x H99, and BS21(A632HI) x BS22(H99HI). Grain yield showed highly significant (P < 0.01) linear gains for BS21(R) x BS22(R) (4.9% cycle), BS21 (A632HI) x A632 (3.6%/cycle), and BS21(R) x A632 (4.7%/cycle); gains for the other crosses were positive, but not significant. Evidently, after three cycles of selection, the modified procedure was not successful in improving yield for crosses of the populations. The results indicated that choice of inbred testers may be very critical in the modified procedure. Grain moisture had highly significantly linear decreases for BS21(A632HI) x A632, BS22(R) x H99, and BS21(A632HI) x BS22(H99HI). Highly significant changes were observed for lodging as follows: root lodging decreased for BS21(A632HI) x A632 and BS21(R) x A632; stalk lodging decreased for BS21(R) x BS22(R) and BS21(R) x A632, but increased for BS21(A632HI) x BS22(H99HI).

Selection for mechanical stalk strength may improve lodging resistance, but to be of practical value, the procedure needs to be simple to enable screening of many genotypes. The objective of this study was to evaluate two different rind penetrometers by using two synthetic maize populations, MoSQA and MoSQB, that had been selected for high stalk crushing strength. Selection for high stalk crushing strength improved stalk strength per se in MoSQA and MoSQB. Manual and modified electronic rind penetrometer measurements were significantly correlated (r = 0.98) and rind penetrometer resistance showed 2.9%/cycle increase as measured by both the manual and electronic rind penetrometer in MoSQA. In MoSQB, rind penetrometer resistance increased 2.6 and 2.2%/cycle as measured by the manual and electronic penetrometers, respectively. The modified electronic rind penetrometer can be considered for application as a simpler and more rapid device to aid in selection of superior stalk strength.

The objective of this study was to investigate changes in the properties of the lower stalk resulting from selection for high stalk crushing strength. Selection for high stalk crushing strength improved stalk strength per se in MoSQA and MoSQB. Highly significant (P = 0.01) correlations of electronic rind penetrometer resistance with whole-stalk-section crushing strength (r = 0.85) and with rind-cylinder crushing strength (r = 0.79) were found. Selection response for contribution of the pith to total stalk strength was found to be significant (P = 0.05) only in MoSQB. There was a significant increase in stalk section dry weight (0.9%/cycle in MoSQA and 3.3%/cycle in MoSQB), and proportion of dry matter (1.9%/cycle in MoSQA and 1.0%/cycle in MoSQB). Stalk section weight and proportion of dry matter were significantly correlated with stalk crushing strength and rind penetrometer resistance. Stalk volume and circumference decreased nonsignificantly with cycles of selection. Stalk components affecting silage digestibility changed with selection for high stalk crushing strength. Neutral detergent fiber increased 0.95%/cycle and acid detergent fiber increased 1.4%/cycle in MOSQA; neither changed significantly in MoSQB. In vitro dry matter digestibility was reduced by 2.0%/cycle in MoSQA with no change in MoSQB. Small, but significant changes in stalk morphology and components occurred with selection, mostly in directions consistent with their contributions to stalk strength.

Irrigation may reduce these plant water deficits and subsequent yield loss. To investigate this hypothesis, a 2-year field study was conducted to measure root system characteristics and yield under irrigated and dryland conditions in fields artificially infested with western corn rootworm (D. virgifera virgifera Le Conte) eggs. Eggs were applied at 0, 1650, 3300, and 6600 viable eggs per meter of row. Survival of insects to adult stage, root damage ratings, nodal root volume (Nodes 4 and above) at the time of maximum insect damage, and grain yield were measured. In 1988, which was characterized by above normal air temperature and below normal precipitation, plants grown with irrigation had larger nodal root systems and also had higher grain yield than plants grown without irrigation. The reduction in yield as caused by equal rootworm infestation levels was less under irrigated conditions than under dryland during this growing season. In 1989, which had near-normal air temperature but below normal precipitation during the growing season, irrigation had no effect on root system characteristics or yield, and plants suffered no yield loss due to larval feeding. However, yield of plants infested with 1650 eggs per meter was significantly greater than plants that were uninfested or infested with 3300 and 6600 eggs per meter of row. We concluded that irrigation ameliorated yield loss to rootworms when plants were grown under hot and dry conditions. These results are discussed in terms of adjusting economic injury levels for rootworms depending on whether or not the field can be irrigated.

The intermediate resistant and susceptible entries did not respond the same in each planting date for either year, resulting in a significant planting date by entry interaction. However, the tolerant hybrid '471-U6 X 81-1' generally performed consistently, with resistance in the field and fairly tight husks. Corn earworm larvae that fed on silk-pinto bean diets were always as large (indication of tolerance) as those on susceptible silk diets. Conversely, 'Zapalote Chico', with antibiotic resistance, possessed tight husks and was the least damaged in the field. This entry reduced weights of corn earworm larvae in the laboratory at 7 and 9 d and weights of pupae, while development time was prolonged. There were no consistent relationships among some of the resistance characteristics except for ear damage in the field and husk tightness. The lack of relationships between field and laboratory data was due to opposing responses by the corn earworm to the susceptible com entries, tolerant entry, and the corn entry with antibiosis. However, 8 of 12 tests for Zapalote Chico and 7 of 12 tests for 471-U6 X 81-1 revealed no significant interaction between planting dates and the measured resistance characters. None of the intermediate or susceptible entries approached this level of performance. RP WISEMAN, BR (reprint author), USDA ARS,INSECT BIOL & POPULAT MANAGEMENT RES LAB,TIFTON,GA 31793, USA.

The chicken was packaged aerobically, and irradiated at 4-degrees-C. Free tocopherols were extracted directly from the meat without a saponification step. The tocopherols were resolved using normal phase, high performance liquid chromatography by spectrophotofluorometric detection. Irradiation resulted in a significant linear decrease in alpha and gamma tocopherol with increasing dose levels. At 3 kGy, the maximum level approved by the FDA for poultry, a 15% reduction of free gamma tocopherol and a 30% reduction for free alpha tocopherol were observed.

The studies demonstrated that hydroethidine is taken up by B. bovis and metabolically converted to the DNA binding fluorochrome, ethidium. Following uptake of the dye, erythrocytes containing viable parasites were readily distinguished and quantitated. Timed studies with the parasiticidal drug, Ganaseg, showed that it is possible to use the fluorochrome assay to monitor the effects of the drug on the rale of replication and viability of B. bovis in culture. The assay provides a rapid method for evaluation of the in vitro effect of drugs on hemoparasites and for analysis of the effect of various components of the immune response, such as lymphokines, monocyte products, antibodies, and effector cells (T, NK, LAK, ADCC) on the growth and viability of intraerythrocytic parasites.

Follicular oocytes collected from prepubertal gilts at a local slaughter house were cultured (36 h) in three different media (mTCM-199, Waymouth MB 752/1, and mTLP-PVA), fertilized in vitro, and assessed for nuclear maturation and male pronucleus formation. The addition of 10% (v/v) pig follicular fluid (pFF) to maturation media significantly increased the rate of nuclear maturation of pig oocytes (P < 0.01), whereas the rate of nuclear maturation of pig oocytes among three different media did not differ. However, the rate of male pronucleus formation of pig oocytes was significantly higher in pig oocytes matured in Waymouth MB 752/1 with or without pFF than in oocytes matured in the other two media (P < 0.01). In experiment 2, the addition of cysteine (the same concentration as in Waymouth medium, 0.57 mM), to mTLP-PVA significantly increased the rate of male pronucleus formation of pig oocytes compared with the control (P < 0.01). The results indicate that the composition of maturation medium affects the ability of pig oocytes to form male pronuclei following sperm penetration; media containing a high concentration of cysteine (possibly as a substrate of glutathione), such as Waymouth MB 752/1, can remarkably promote this ability.

This fungus grows intercellularly through the mesophyll of the zoysiagrass leaf invading parenchyma cells, and forming haustoria. However, its growth is restricted by the vascular bundles and the bulliform cells, which the fungus does not penetrate. As a consequence, longitudinal lesions are formed, predominantly on the adaxial leaf surface. Soon after the onset of infection, paraphyses and echinulate urediniospores are produced, and are rapidly exposed due to rupture of the epidermis. Teliospores form later, first within the uredinia, and subsequently in telia which appear on both leaf surfaces. These spores are two-celled, persistent, and pedicellate. They germinated after two months of suspension in water at 4 C, followed by exposure to a saturated atmosphere for 24 hours. Germination begins with the emergence of a basidium (promycelium) from either or both cells of the teliospore. This is followed by the formation of septa and sterigmata from which basidiospores arise. These spores infect leaves of P. scandens, producing inconspicuous, intercellular spermogonia. Aecia form intercellularly and eventually erupt through the lower leaf surface. The aecial peridium has an unusual double-layered wall, the inner wall of which consists of non-viable aeciospores. Aeciospores are verrucose and are produced in basipetal succession. RP KULIK, MM (reprint author), USDA ARS,BELTSVILLE AGR RES CTR,INST PLANT SCI,SOYBEAN & ALFALFA RES LAB,BELTSVILLE,MD 20705, USA.

Production of germ-tubes was positively correlated, and production of capilliconidiophores inversely correlated, to temperatures over 5-32-degrees-C. Significant numbers of replicative conidiophores were produced only at 25-30-degrees. The temperatures inducing the fastest rates of germination as capilliconidiophores, germ-tubes, and replicative conidiophores were 16.5, 22, and 26-degrees, successively. Germ-tube formation was the most rapid mode of germination, occurring in ca 0.7 h at 22-degrees; germination as capilliconidiophores or replicative conidiophores required 1.9 and 3.2 h, respectively, under optimal temperature conditions. Total germination (all modes combined) was optimum at 22-degrees. High-temperature inhibition of germination was evident at 28-degrees and severe at 30-degrees; however, most germ-tubes produced at these temperatures were able to complete the processes of appressorium formation and penetration of the host cuticle. At 32-degrees, only 6% of conidia germinated and no appressoria were produced. At 10, 20, and 25-degrees, 40, 20, and 4%, of all penetrations, successively, originated from capilliconidia produced by the ovoid conidia. The optimum temperature for infection (23-degrees) was found to be similar to the optimum for vegetative germination (22-degrees). The median time from inoculation to infection of the leafhoppers at 23-degrees was 5.6 h. At temperatures near the upper threshold, lack of germination of the inoculum was the most important factor limiting host infection. C1 BOYCE THOMPSON INST PLANT RES,ITHACA,NY 14853.

In the case of wild and cultivated Solanum species, the hybrids express resistances from each partner in the fusion and can often be crossed with cultivars to improve agronomic characteristics of the tubers. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses can provide a means for determining that the plants being investigated are actually hybrids as well as a means for following the introgression of DNA into progeny lines. These points are addressed in this paper with specific reference to somatic hybrids between Solanum brevidens and potato.

Walp.] and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plants were grown in pots and either inoculated with the vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi, Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith (cowpea) and G. mosseae (Nicol & Gerd.) Gerd. and Trappe (soybean), or provided with regular P fertilization (non-VA mycorrhizal plants). When plants were six to ten weeks old, roots were exposed to osmotic stress and stomatal behaviour monitored for several hours. Leaves of VA mycorrhizal cowpea had higher stomatal conductance (g(s)) than those of non-mycorrhizal cowpea before and after lowering soil water potential (PSI) to -0.7 MPa with either sorbitol or macronutrient solutions. Pre-stress g(s) and the initial decline in g(s) after exposure to -0.5 MPa sorbitol were similar in mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal soybean leaves. Stomatal conductance was higher in the latter after 2 h but higher in the former after 21 h. CO2 exchange rates and leaf water relations were similar in VA mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal soybean before and after soil PSI was lowered. Higher g(s) at equal soil PSI suggests that mycorrhizal root systems either scavenged water of low activity more effectively or influenced nonhydraulic root-to-shoot communication differently from that in non-infected root systems.

Where results have been reported, the average R2 has been 0.84 and the average seasonal volume difference, D(v), has been 3.8%. The testing of SRM has taken place on basins in different climatic regions, thus setting the stage for using SRM in evaluations of the hydrological effects of climate change. A method for using SRM in evaluations of climate change has been established and tested on several basins. Initial results show some potentially serious problems involving water supply, flooding, and drought. More testing in a variety of climatic regions is necessary along with improved specification of the changes in temperature and precipitation by region.
