    Notes: Abstract RH 5849, a non-steroidal ecdysteroid mimic, was found to cause consistent phase shifts in the circadian rhythm of locomotor activity of the blowfly, Calliphora vicina. This compound causes phase advances in the early subjective night and phase delays in the late subjective night. This effect is the opposite, but not the mirror image of the phase response curve obtained for 1 h light pulses. This suggests that ecdysteroids might act as entraining agents via the output pathway by feedback to “clock” neurons in the brain. A computer model based on 12 pacemaker neurons with circadian periods (τ values) from short to long without simulated feedback from the ecdysteroid system becomes arrhythmic; with feedback, the oscillators become synchronized to a common period. The possible role of ecdysteroids as endogenous synchronizing agents in the insect circadian system is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Four hundred and thirty-eight endosperm-derived plants of kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) were observed. The plants were field planted in 1982 and all had flowered annually since 1986. A sample of these plants was assessed for leaf morphology, growth characteristics, flowering, sex expression, chromosome number, and fruit quality characteristics. The chromosome number of the endosperm plants varied from 58 to 146; most were aneuploid. A few triploid plants (2n=3x=87) were obtained; none of these were parthenocarpic. Segregation of sex expression was observed in progeny from one endosperm-derived callus.
