    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Vier Kolonien von Macrotermes bellicosus (Smeathman), einer pilzzüchtenende Termitenart, wurden zwecks Nahrungsverbrauchsmessungen in grossen Betonbehältern isoliert gehalten. Jede Kolonie wurde mit kleinen Holzködern mit einer Dichte zwischen 25 bis 1000 Stück gefüttert. Der maximale tägliche Nahrungsverbrauch während der 4 Tage dauernden Experimente reichte von 94–149 mg pro g Termite. Die Resultate sind vergleichbar mit Feldschätzungen einerseits des Nahrungsvorrates sowie des Nahrungsumsatzes und anderseits mit Messungen der Streuabbauraten. Verglichen mit andern Termitenunterfamilien ist der Nahrungsverbrauch bei den Macrotermitinae hoch, möglicherweise bedingt durch die Energiebedürfnisse und die Umwandlungsprozesse des Pilzgartens.
    Notes: Abstract Four colonies of the fungus-growing termite Macrotermes bellicosus (Smeathman) (Isoptera: Termitidae: Macrotermitinae) were transferred to concrete isolation tanks for measurement of feeding rates. The colonies were offered wooden baits at densities ranging from 25 to 1000 per tank. Maximum consumption during 4-day trials ranged from 94–149 mg g-1d-1. These results compare favourably with field estimates from measurement of food store biomass and turnover, and with estimates from measurements of litter decomposition rates. Consumption of food by Macrotermitinae is high compared with other groups of termites, probably as a result of the energetic requirement and processing ability of the fungus combs.

    Notes: Abstract  The Yd2 gene in barley provides protection against barley yellow dwarf luteovirus (BYDV), the most economically devastating virus of cereals worldwide. Because resistance assays to identify Yd2-containing individuals from breeding populations are often difficult, we have developed a closely linked, codominant PCR-based marker for Yd2 using AFLP marker technology. The marker, designated YLM, can be amplified from barley genomic DNA prepared using a rapid and simple extraction procedure and, in a survey of more than 100 barley genotypes, was found to be polymorphic between most Yd2 and non-Yd2 lines. The YLM therefore shows excellent potential as a tool for selecting Yd2-carrying segregants in barley breeding programmes.
