    Notes: Abstract A nodule-specific cDNA was isolated from a Vicia faba L. nodule cDNA library. Since time course experiments revealed an early expression of this transcript in the nodule, this cDNA coded for an early nodulin and was designated VfENOD-GRP3. Based on tissue print hybridizations, we found a predominant expression of VfENOD-GRP3 transcripts in the interzone II-III region of broad bean root nodules. The encoded early nodulin ENOD-GRP3 was characterized by an N-terminal signal peptide and a C-terminal domain displaying a glycine content of 31%. Sequence analysis of a genomic VfENOD-GRP3 clone revealed that the signal peptide and the glycine-rich domain were specified by two separate exons. Primer extension experiments identified two adjacent transcription start sites for VfENOD-GRP3 transcripts. The common nodulin sequences ‘AAAGAT’ and ‘CTCTT’ were present five and three times on both DNA strands of the putative VfENOD-GRP3 promoter, respectively. Additionally, three sequence motifs resembling organ-specific elements of the soybean lbc3 gene promoter and a sequence similar to the binding site 1 for the nodule trans-acting factor Nat2 were identified. From Southern blot data and from sequence analysis of genomic PCR fragments, the presence of a VfENOD-GRP3 gene family was inferred. By PCR experiments using sequence-specific primers and DNA of microisolated chromosomes as a template, this family was located on the long arm of chromosome I.

    Notes: Abstract We recently reported on the broad bean gene VfENOD-GRP3 encoding a glycine-rich early nodulin. This gene was predominantly expressed in the interzone II–III region of Vicia faba root nodules. The VfENOD-GRP3 promoter contained several sequence motifs potentially involved in the regulation of gene expression. To investigate the molecular basis for the specific VfENOD-GRP3 expression, defined VfENOD-GRP3 promoter fragments were fused to an intron-containing gusAint gene. Agrobacterium rhizogenes ARqual strains carrying these fusions integrated into the TL DNA were used to generate hairy roots on Vicia hirsuta, which subsequently were nodulated. Histochemical analysis of transgenic nodules indicated that a strong gusAint expression in the interzone II–III region was mediated by the −1252/ + 10 VfENOD-GRP3 promoter region. This reporter gene expression in V. hirsuta was comparable to the location of VfENOD-GRP3 transcripts in V. faba nodules. An analysis of defined promoter fragments revealed that a strong gusAint expression in the interzone II–III region was also mediated by the −737/ + 10 promoter, whereas the −239/ + 10 promoter only mediated a weak gusAint expression in the interzone II–III region. Since the −239/ + 10 promoter fragment did not resemble published nodulin gene promoters, we propose that it contains new sequence motifs involved in mediating gene expression in the interzone II–III region of vicia nodules.

    Notes: Abstract The association between social rank, mating effort, and reproductive success of male Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) has been evaluated by longterm behavioral observations and subsequent paternity determination via oligonucleotide DNA fingerprinting in a large semifreeranging group. All offspring born between 1985 and 1988 that survived to at least 1 year of age (n=75) were available for paternity testing. The exclusion of all but one of the potential fathers from paternity was possible in 70 cases (93%). Mating activities were recorded using ad lib. and focal female sampling techniques. The analysis of male mating effort was restricted to the most likely days of conception. Male rank correlated significantly with male mating success in all four breeding seasons and with male reproductive success in three of the four seasons. Mating success and reproductive success also showed a significant correlation, with the exception of one breeding season, in which the proportion of males per fertilizable female was especially high. Poor mating success was almost always associated with poor reproductive success, while good mating success was less predictive for a male's actual reproductive success. This was apparently a consequence of sperm competition, resulting from the promiscuous mating system. Male mating success is not necessarily an unreliable indicator for reproductive success, provided that sufficient sample sizes are available and that conception periods can be determined. Sperm competition and other factors may weaken the association, however.

    Notes: Abstract Age-related and individual differences in longterm reproductive success were analyzed in two social groups of free-ranging Barbary macaques. Maternity data were obtained from continuous birth records and paternity was determined with oligonucleotide-fingerprinting. The fathers of 246 of 286 investigated individuals could be identified. They were born during a 14-year period and represented 73 and 34% of all known offspring from the females of the study groups B/F and C, respectively. Only these infants were considered when comparing male reproductive success with that of females. The necessary adjustment of the female data resulted in small deviations from the true values in one group, but substantially increased individual differences in female fertility in the second group. Subadult males, 4.5 – 6.5 yrs old, had a much lower reproductive success than adult males (7.5 – 25 yrs old) and same-aged females. Reproductive success of adult males was not significantly affected by age, while females invariably ceased reproduction during the first half of the third decade of life. Males were more likely than females to leave no offspring, unless they survived 9 – 10 yrs of age. The number of years with breeding opportunities was important for male reproductive success but less significant than that for females. Reproductive success of several males during the 14-year study period was similar to or even exceeded that possible for a female in her whole lifetime. Variance of male reproductive success significantly exceeded that of females in both study groups.
