Analyses of frequencies of chromosome configurations in wheat and wheat hybrids are extended to include data from hybrids of three chromosome-pairing mutants of wheat with Aegilops variabilis and from autotetraploid Triticum monococcum. These data confirm and extend the theory proposed by Driscoll, Bielig and Darvey (1979). Homoeologous and homologous chromosome pairing are fundamentally identi...

We report an unusual example of reproductive parasitism in amphibians. Dendrobates variabilis, an Amazonian poison frog, oviposits at the surface of the water in small pools in plants and deposits tadpoles within the pools. Tadpoles are highly cannibalistic and consume young tadpoles if they are accessible. Deposition of embryos and tadpoles in the same pool is common. Genetic analyses indicate...

The methanolic extract of Myrsine seguinii yielded three anti-inflammatory compounds, myrsinoic acids B, C and F, and their structures were elucidated from the spectroscopic data. These compounds suppressed the TPA-induced edema of mouse ear, myrsinoic acid F being the most active (IE 77% at a dose of 0.56 micromol).

A cell-free system exhibiting both photophosphorylation (P /2e = 1) and oxidative phosphoryla­ tion (P/O up to 0 .8 ) is described for the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis. NADH and N A D PH were found to be equally effective as electron donors for oxidative phosphorylation. Low concentrations of U H D B T , an inhibitor of the cytochrome blc complex of mitochondria and chloroplasts. were fou...

Oaks (Quercus spp.) are considered model plants for studying plant evolution and natural gene introgression. Beijing area is at the junction between Taihang Mountain Yanshan Mountain, it an overlapping distribution of several deciduous oaks native to China. Interspecific hybridization often occurs in sympatric sibling species, resulting blurred interspecific boundaries hindering development bre...

Growth of several cyanobacteria was examined on ethane sulfonate and taurine as only sulfur source. Comparing two strains with differential utilization of sulfonic acids (Anabaena variabilis and Synechococcus 6301) demonstrated that actual growth was coupled to the presence of an active sulfonate transport system due to species specific properties and nutritional conditions. Sulfonate uptake in...

Quercus variabilis Blume is one of the most ecologically valuable tree species in China and known to have adaptive mechanisms climate change. Our objective was quantify variation pattern fruit morphology Q. variabilis. Fruit samples were collected from 43 natural populations autumn 2019. results indicated that coefficient (CV) length (FL) width (FW) 10.08% 11.21%, respectively. There significan...
