    Notes: Abstract Parthenogenetic cells are lost from fetal chimeras. This may be due to decreased proliferative potential. To address this question, we have made use of combined cell lineage and cell proliferation analysis. Thus, the incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine in S-phase was determined for both parthenogenetic and normal cells in several tissues of fetal day 13 and 17 chimeras. A pronounced reduction of bromodesoxyuridine incorporation by parthenogenetic cells at both developmental stages was only observed in cartilage. In brain, skeletal muscle, heart and intestinal epithelium, this reduction was either less pronounced or observed only at one of the developmental stages analysed. No difference between parthenogenetic and normal cells was observed in epidermis and ganglia. Our results show that a loss of proliferative potential of parthenogenetic cells during fetal development contributes to their rapid elimination in some tissues. The analysis of the fate of parthenogenetic cells in skeletal muscle and cartilage development demonstrated different selection mechanisms in these tissues. In skeletal muscle, parthenogenetic cells were largely excluded from the myogenic lineage proper by early post-midgestation. In primary hyaline cartilage, parthenogenetic cells persisted into adulthood but were lost from cartilages that undergo ossification during late fetal development.

    Notes: Abstract The properties of androgenetic cells and their ability to proliferate and differentiate were examined in post-midgestation chimeras. In several tissues, namely the brain, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle and intestinal epithelium, the rate of proliferation of androgenetic cells was higher than that of normal cells in day 13 embryos. This higher rate of proliferation was however less pronounced by day 17–18 of development. It is possible that IGF2, a major growth factor regulating fetal growth, could play a role in the increased proliferation of androgenetic cells. Igf2 is also an imprinted gene that is expressed only when inherited paternally. Indeed, in the smooth muscle, cartilage and intestinal epithelium, patches of androgenetic (ag) cells exhibited higher levels of IGF2 mRNA than neighbouring wild-type cells. Surprisingly, we also detected expression of Igf2 in ag cells of ectodermal origin; this gene is not normally expressed in this lineage. This expression was observed in the brain, epidermis and in the epithelium of the tongue. We attempted to confirm the identity and differentiation status of ag cells with the help of cell-type specific antibodies and lectins. Evidence for only one of the cell types analysed, i.e. the goblet cells of the gut, suggests a delay or aberrant differentiation of ag cells.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of brassinolide, uniconazole and methyl jasmonate on the antioxidant system were studied in seedlings of drought-resistant (PAN 6043) and drought-sensitive (SC 701) cultivars of Zea mays L. When seedlings treated with the three regulators were subjected to water stress (−1.0 MPa PEG 6000 solution), the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase, as well as the ascorbic acid and total carotenoid contents, increased in the resistant cultivar, whereas the levels remained unaltered in the sensitive cultivar. The increased tolerance to drought stress induced by the growth regulators in the resistant cultivar seems to be due to the maintenance of increased antioxidant enzyme activity and antioxidant substance levels.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of brassinolide, uniconazole and methyl jasmonate on several aspects of antioxidant defences, were studied in callus tissues of drought-resistant (PAN 6043) and drought-sensitive (SC 701) cultivars of maize. When regulator-treated calli were subjected to water stress with PEG for 24 h the activities of antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, peroxidase and glutathione reductase, remained higher in callus of the drought-resistant than in callus of the drought-sensitive cultivar. Damage, as indicated by the levels of hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde, the reduction of ascorbate and carotenoids, and leakage of electrolytes from cells was apparent in callus of both cultivars as a consequence of the applied water stress. However, the damage was less marked in the drought-resistant cultivar. The regulator-treated callus of this cultivar also had a higher survival percentage than that of the drought-sensitive cultivar. The present results also compare the effects of growth regulators on antioxidant systems in callus tissue of different drought-resistant cultivars when exposed to paraquat and water stress.
