    Notes: Abstract  Cu-bearing pyroxene, Mg(Cu.56,Mg.44)Si2O6, has been synthesized by a flux method and crystal structure refinement has been performed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It is found that the crystal structure is orthorhombic (space group Pbca) with unit cell dimensions of a=18.221(4), b=8.890(1), c=5.2260(7)Å and the cell volume of 846.5( )3Å3. In the M2-site one of the M-O bonds(M-O3B) is extremely expanded from 2.444(2) in enstatite to 2.732(2), thus the coordination polyhedron around M2-site is regarded as square pyramidal rather than square planar or octahedral. It is also found that the M1-site in the pyroxene structure is occupied almost exclusively by Mg, while the M2-site is almost evenly occupied by Mg and Cu. The observed extreme site preference shown by Cu2+ is unusual among the divalent cations with similar ionic sizes.

    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. The chi1 gene was introduced into tobacco by the Agrobacterium 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 the chi1 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 pathogens Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea revealed that the symptoms observed with these two were remarkably suppressed as compared with the control leaves.
