Notes: Abstract A restriction-enzyme-site map is presented for the 147-kb mtDNA of North American Armillaria ostoyae. The locations of five structural genes, atp6, atp8, coxI, coxIII, and cob, along with the location and orientation of the large and small ribosomal RNA genes, were determined through Southern hybridizations with cloned genes from other fungal mtDNAs. Based on this map, the variation in mtDNA suggested geographic structure at two different levels. On a large geographic scale, 17 mtDNA types from North America were distinct, with respect to both size and restriction maps, from three mtDNA types from Europe. At the local scale, identical mtDNA types were evident among several different genetic individuals located no more than 1 km apart at a site in Michigan. No mtDNA type occurred more than once among genetic individuals from different regions of North America, although the occurrence of similar mtDNAs in isolates from distant regions suggested that this may occur at a low frequency with large sample sizes. Among the North American mtDNA types, analysis of discrete length variants was inconsistent with the hypothesis that the mtDNA of A. ostoyae evolves as a clonal lineage in which each length mutation represents a unique event. The two remaining hypotheses, that similar mutational events have occurred independently and that genetic exchange and recombination occurs among mtDNAs in natural populations of this species, remain to be tested.

Notes: The random-walk method of solving the Schrödinger equation is applied to the 1B1g and 1B2g states of the H4 square with side length 2.4 a.u. The results provide an independent check of the accuracy of prior variational calculations for these states. With node structures for the 1B1g state taken from a variational calculation with a single-zeta basis set and taken in the simplest form meeting symmetry requirements, the calculated energies are lower than the expectation value of the energy for the single-zeta basis set but not as low as the expectation value for an optimized-exponent double-zeta basis set with polarization terms. Comparisons of results give no suggestion of a barrier height lower than ∼120 kcal/mol for passage through the square configuration in the exchange reaction H2 + D2 → 2HD. For the 1B2g state with node structure in the simplest form meeting symmetry requirements the calculated energy is ∼65 kcal/mol lower than the expectation value of the energy for variational calculations with a double-zeta basis set.
