    Notes: The rpoS gene encodes the second principal sigma factor of RNA polymerase in stationary-phase cells in Escherichia coli. We examined the transcription of Pseudomonas aeruginosa rpoS as to the growth of ceils. The results of quantitative S1 nuclease mapping of rpoS and rpoD, encoding the principal sigma factor, indicated that the transcription of rpoS is induced in stationary-phase cells, whereas that of rpoD is induced in exponential-phase cells. By high-resolution S1 nuclease mapping, the 5′- and 3′-ends of rpoS mRNA were determined. The results indicated that rpoS is transcribed as a monocistronic mRNA. The sequence preceding the 5 end of rpoS mRNA showed poor homology to the consensus sequences of the previously known promoters. P. aeruginosa rpoS was not transcribed in E coli. By in vitro transcription assaying, P. aeruginosa rpoS was shown to be transcribed by the RNA polymerase fraction containing the principal sigma (σ70) RNA polymerase of P. aeruginosa

    Notes: Abstract The cytochrome P450cam hydroxylase operon (camDCAB) of Pseudomonas putida is negatively regulated by a repressor, CamR, which also represses its own gene. The expression in P. putida of both camR and camDCAB is depressed in the presence of d-camphor. We examined the expression in Escherichia coli of camR and camDCAB by monitoring the enzyme activity of the camD gene product. In the presence or absence of d-camphor in the cell culture, the expression in E. coli of camD was significant and constitutive, suggesting no expression of camR. This lack of expression was confirmed by monitoring the β-galactosidase activity of camR-lacZ translational fusions. However, S1 nuclease mapping revealed that synthesis of camR mRNA in E. coli was significant and constitutive, as observed in the case of camDCAB mRNA. Thus, it is likely that the expression of camR in E. coli is limited at the translational level.

    Notes: Summary For breeding early heading wheat cultivars with resistance to frost damage which are well adapted to dry areas of West Asia and North Africa, the relationships between winter hardiness, ear primordia development and heading traits, i.e. veernalization requirement, photoperiodic response and narrow-sense earliness, were assessed using a total of 30 genotypes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in an experiment in Syria. The results of artificial freezing tests indicated that cultivars with good winter hardiness were to be found only in the winter wheat cultivars which required 50 or more days of vernalization treatment. These winter wheat cultivars did not initiate internode elongation without vernalization even at 95 days after planting. Thus their ear primordia were still underground and were protected from frost injury at this stage. Photoperiodic response and narrow-sense earliness were not associated with winter hardiness and earliness of internode elongation, but were related to the number of days to heading after planting. This indicated the possibility for breeding early heading cultivars with winter hardiness and tiller frost avoidance by combining high vernalization requirement, short narrow-sense earliness and neutral response to photoperiod.
