    Notes: Abstract We have studied whether a chitinase involved in cell autolysis of a filamentous fungus,Rhizopus oligosporus, can operate as an antifungal defense system in tobacco. Thechi1 gene was introduced into tobacco by theAgrobacterium tumefaciens leaf disc system. Among 22 transgenic tobacco plants, 2 were selected and their individual homozygous progeny, Tch1-1 and Tch2-1, were studied. Chitinase activity in the extracts of young leaves from Tch1-1 or Tch2-1, in which thechi1 gene product was detected by Western blot analysis, was three- to four-fold higher than that from the control plants. A fungal infection assay on the leaves infected with the discomycete pathogensSclerotinia sclerotiorum andBotrytis cinerea revealed that the symptoms observed with these two were remarkably suppressed as compared with the control leaves.

    Notes: Abstract We report a case of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma which contained a large number of pleomorphic inclusions with fibrillary internal structures and mature zymogen granules. To clarify the significance of fibrillary inclusions in the differentiation of acinar cells of the pancreas, we further investigated fetal pancreases (gestational weeks 16, 17, 19, 20 and 28). We found two types of inclusions: type A, corresponding to fibrillary inclusion of neoplastic acinar cells, was observed only in a 19-week fetus; type B showed a homogeneous density similar to that of zymogen granules. Type B was observed in all the fetuses after the 17th gestational week. Although the type A inclusion might be generated throught a different mechanism than the type B inclusion, the appearance of a large number of fibrillary inclusions in neoplastic acinar cells may represent a transient form of zymogen granule.
