    Notes: The effects of photoperiod, light quality, wounding and sealing of culture plates on in vitro growth and sporulation of Pyrenophora semeniperda were examined to define conditions conducive to the abundant and rapid production of conidia. For maximum growth and sporulation, the leaf-spotting and seedborne plant pathogen required an alternating light/dark sequence. Fewer conidia were produced under conditions of constant illumination or constant darkness. Growth was enhanced by light of wavelengths longer than 500 nm, while sporulation was enhanced by light of wavelengths shorter than 500 nm. Sporulation was enhanced under conditions of alternating temperature with a diurnal photoperiod and by mycelial wounding. Sealing of Petri plates had an inhibitory effect on sporulation. Significantly more conidia of higher quality formed when unsealed cultures, wounded after 7 days, were exposed to 23°C during the light phase and 19°C during darkness. Under these optimal conditions, conidial numbers were increased by 800% or more compared with unwounded cultures grown at constant 25°C in 12 h alternating cool-white light.

    Notes: : The Cheat River of West Virginia is impaired by acid mine drainage (AMD). Fifty-five of its river segments were placed on the 303(d) list, which required calculations of total maximum daily load (TMDL) to meet the water quality criteria for pH, total iron, aluminum, manganese, and zinc. An existing watershed model was enhanced to simulate AMD as nonpoint source load. The model divided a watershed into a network of catchments and river segments. Each catchment was divided into soil layers, which could contain pyrite, calcite and other minerals. A kinetic expression was used to simulate pyrite oxidation as a function of oxygen in the soil voids. Oxygen in the soil voids was consumed by pyrite oxidation and replenished by earth breathing. The by-products of pyrite oxidation were calculated according to its mass action equations. Chemical equilibrium was used to account for the speciation of ferrous and ferric irons and precipitation of metal hydroxides. Simulated hydrology and water quality were compared to available data. The USEPA used the calibrated model to calculate the TMDLs in the Cheat River Watershed.

    Notes: Background Gastrointestinal nematode infection is associated with mucosal mast cell (MMC) hyperplasia. In the mouse, this is accompanied by the release of substantial quantities of the chymase mouse mast cell proteinase-1 (mMCP-1) into the gut lumen and peripheral bloodstream. Expression of mMCP-1 is largely restricted to intraepithelial MMC and is thought to play a role in the regulation of epithelial permeability. MMCs also express mouse mast cell proteinase-2 (mMCP-2), but less is known about the expression or biological function of this proteinase.Objectives (1) To purify and characterize mMCP-2. (2) To compare the expression and release of mMCP-2 and mMCP-1 in vivo using specific antibodies.Methods Bone marrow-derived mast cells (mBMMCs) were generated from mMCP-1−/− BALB/c mice. mMCP-2 was purified, characterized and used to generate rat and sheep polyclonal antibodies. The expression and systemic release of mMCP-1 and -2 were compared in vivo by immunohistochemistry and ELISA.Results mMCP-2 was successfully purified from mMCP-1−/− mBMMC and its identity confirmed by N-terminal amino acid sequencing. mMCP-2 bound [3H]-labelled DFP, indicating the presence of an active serine proteinase catalytic site, but showed little evidence of chymotryptic activity. MMC expressed comparable levels of mMCP-1 and -2 in the jejunum but not in the gastric mucosa, where mMCP-2 was more abundant. Expression of both proteinases increased substantially during primary Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection and this was accompanied by a substantial increase in peripheral blood levels of mMCP-1 (70 μg/mL on day 12). By contrast, mMCP-2 was not detected in the serum of uninfected mice and only increased to approximately 25 ng/mL on day 12.Conclusion As in the case of mMCP-1, mMCP-2 expression is restricted to MMC. However, mMCP-2 lacks chymase activity, is expressed at higher levels in gastric MMC and appears to be differentially released into the peripheral bloodstream.

    Constitutive secretion of the granule chymase mouse mast cell protease-1 and the chemokine, CCL2, by mucosal mast cell homologues (2003)

    Notes: Background The mucosal mast cell (MMC) granule-specific β-chymase, mouse mast cell protease-1 (mMCP-1), is released systemically into the bloodstream early in nematode infection before parasite-specific IgE responses develop and TGF-β1 induces constitutive release of mMCP-1 by homologues of MMC in vitro. Intraepithelial MMC may also express the chemokine CCL2 (monocyte chemotactic protein-1) during nematode infection but the expression of this chemokine by MMC homologues has not been investigated.Objective To investigate the expression and to compare the mechanisms of constitutive release of the chymase, mMCP-1, and the chemokine, CCL2.Methods MMC homologues were generated by culturing bone marrow cells in the presence of TGF-β1, IL-3, IL-9 and stem cell factor (SCF). The intracellular distribution of mMCP-1 and CCL2 was examined by confocal microscopy. The involvement of the Golgi complex and of protein synthesis in the constitutive release of mMCP-1 and CCL2 was investigated using the Golgi-disrupting agent brefeldin A and cycloheximide to block protein synthesis. Secreted analytes were quantified by ELISA.Results mMCP-1 colocalized with Golgi matrix protein 130 but was most abundant in the granules, whereas CCL2 was not found in the granules but appeared to be located uniquely in the Golgi complex. Extracellular release of mMCP-1 was significantly inhibited (≈ 40%) by cycloheximide and by the Golgi-disrupting agent brefeldin A, indicating both continuous protein synthesis and transportation via the Golgi complex are required for optimal mMCP-1 secretion. A similar but more marked inhibitory effect with both compounds was demonstrated on the constitutive secretion of CCL2.Conclusion The culture conditions that promote mMCP-1 expression and release by MMC homologues also promote the expression and release of CCL2. Constitutive release involves de novo protein synthesis and requires a functional Golgi complex, suggesting that similar mechanisms of extracellular secretion operate for both mediators.

    Notes: Experiments were conducted on wild Atlantic salmon Salmo salar parr to determine the effect of surgically implanted dummy transmitters on swimming performance, food consumption and growth. Swimming performance of tagged fish (tag 1·7–3·7% of fish mass) was similar to that of control fish 1, 5 and 10 days after surgery. Negative effects on growth, however, were found up to day 36 of a 45 day experiment (tag 0·9–2·6% of fish mass). Consumption rates were similar between tagged and control fish and did not explain differences in growth.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Radio-telemetry was used to investigate movement of large, mainly mature male (80%) Atlantic salmon Salmo salar parr in Stoney River, Newfoundland during early winter (November; water temperature 6·0 ± 0·1° C) and mid-winter (January to February; 0·8 ± 0·0° C). Site fidelity of parr in early winter was low. Parr moved between fluvial and lacustrine habitats and were active throughout the diel cycle. Parr caught in fluvial habitats in mid-winter were smaller and younger than parr caught in early winter. Site fidelity of parr in mid-winter was greater than in early winter. Parr in mid-winter moved between fluvial and adjacent small lacustrine habitats, but avoided a larger pond inhabited by large piscivorous fishes. Instream movement rates in mid-winter were lower than in early winter and occurred primarily during hours of darkness (dawn, dusk and night). Fluvial habitats were relatively stable and ice-free throughout the study periods. These results suggested that large Atlantic salmon parr utilize a variety of habitats and remain active throughout the winter, even under stable environmental conditions.

    Seed production and germination in two rare and three common co-occurring Acacia species from south-east Australia (2003)

    Notes: Abstract Seed set, size, viability and germination requirements were investigated for two rare (Acacia ausfeldii and A. willianisonii) and three common (A. pycnantha, A. genistifolia and A.paradoxa) co-occurring congeners in box-ironbark eucalypt forests near Bendigo, south-east Australia to investigate correlates of rarity. Seed size was significantly smaller for the two rare species and germinants were less able to emerge from deeper sowing depths than were the larger seeded common congeners. All species had a strong heat-stimulated germination response. While the rare A. ausfeldii showed strong germination only at the highest temperature treatment (100°C), the common and widespread A.pycnantha showed strong germination across a broad range of temperatures (60-100°C), likely to be experienced by soil-stored seeds during a fire. Seed viability, number of seeds per plant, and number of firm, aborted and eaten seeds per pod varied between species, but the pattern of variation was not related to rarity. Small seed size and a very specific temperature requirement for germination may help to explain rarity in A. ausfeldii, and to a lesser extent in A. willianisonii. Fires are often patchy and heating of the soil is likely to be highly spatially variable, so species with germination responses to a broad range of temperatures have an advantage over those that respond only to a narrow range. A narrower range of soil depths from which seeds can emerge will further reduce the proportion of the seed bank that might recruit following fire. Human impacts on species habitats, such as fragmentation, loss of topsoil through mining, timber harvesting, grazing and urbanization, and consequent reduction in fire intensity, are likely to have further contributed to rarity in these species. The role of pollination and other factors in relation to population size is the subject of further investigation.
