    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des feuilles de 4 tranches d'âges appartenant àCitrus limon L.: 1) en cours de croissance et incomplètement développées; 2) développées mais pas encore vert sombre; 3) complètement développées (vert sombre) 4) plus âgées que le lot 3 d'après l'âge du rameau, ont été proposées pour pondre à 3 espèces d'aleurodes (Dialeurodes citri Ashmead,Aleurothrixus floccosus Maskell,Parabemisia myricae Kuwana). Les femelles étaient isolées dans des cages dont les ouvertures sur deux côtés opposés étaient obstruées par la face inférieure de feuilles de citronniers d'âges différents. Les feuilles utilisées au laboratoire étaient coupées, les expériences dans la nature étaient faites avec des feuilles intactes. Récoltées au bout de 2 jours, leurs œufs étaient dénombrés. Dans les 2 cas,P. myricae a préféré significativement le lot 1, les pontes sur lot 2 étaient rares, et nulles sur les lots 3 et 4 même en l'absence de choix. Les préférences significativement différentes deD. citri au laboratoire et dans la nature étaient les suivantes: 2〉1〉3〉4.A. floccosus a présenté au laboratoire les mêmes préférences queD. citri (P≤0,0004), mais certains résultats étaient contradictoires. Au laboratoire et dans la nature, le lot 2 était préféré; de même le lot 3 était préféré au lot 4. Cependant de nombreuses expériences de choix dans la nature entre les lots 1 et 3 et 1 et 4 ont montré la même tendance qu'au laboratoire, mais pour d'autres, les résultats étaient inversés. Après regroupement des résultats dans la nature, le lot 3 a été préféré au lot 1 (résultats à la limite du seuil de validité); aucune différence significative n'est apparue entre les lots 1 et 4. Les choix deA. floccocus etD. citri entre les lots 1 et 3 n'ont pas été modifiés par la présence de l'un des lots pendant les 3 jours précédant l'expérience.
    Notes: Abstract The leaf age preferences for oviposition by three species of whitefly (Dialeurodes citri [Ashmead],Aleurothrixus floccosus [Maskell], andParabemisia myricae [Kuwana]) were tested on lemon,Citrus limon (L.). Four categories of leaf age were tested (I: incompletely expanded, growing leaves; II: young leaves that are completely expanded but not yet dark green; III: completely mature leaves [dark green]; IV: completely mature leaves judged to be older than III as determined by the age of the twigs to which they were attached). Paired choice experiments were conducted in the laboratory using excised leaves and in the field using intact leaves. In both laboratory and field tests,P. myricae preferred I over all other leaf ages. It rarely oviposited on II and never oviposited on III or IV, even when they were the only two choices. The order of preference forD. citri in laboratory and field tests was II〉I〉III〉IV. In laboratory tests,A. floccosus exhibited the same order of preferences asD. citri, but in the field, II was preferred over all others, III was slightly preferred over IV, and I varied greatly among replicates in comparisons against III or IV. In related experiments, the choice between I & III byA. floccosus andD. citri was not affected by confining the whiteflies to either I or III for three days prior to testing.

    Notes: Abstract The Kluyveromyces lactis nuclear gene, MRP-L23, encodes a polypeptide of 155 amino acids that shares 70% and 43% identity to the ribosomal proteins L23 and L13 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli. The deduced protein, designated KlL23, is a likely component of the large subunit of mitochondrial ribosomes as it can complement the respiratory deficient phenotype of a S. cerevisiae mrp-L23 mutant. As in S. cerevisiae, KlMRP-L23 is essential for respiratory growth of K. lactis because disruption of the gene in a “petite-positive” strain carrying a ρo-lethality suppressor atp mutation rendered cells unable to grow on a non-fermentable carbon source. However, in contrast to S. cerevisiae, disruption of MRP-L23 in wild type K. lactis is lethal. Meiotic segregants of K. lactis with a disrupted MRP-L23 allele form microcolonies with cell numbers varying from 32 to 300. These data clearly indicate an essential role of mitochondrial protein synthesis for viability of the petite-negative yeast K. lactis.

    Notes: Abstract Kluyveromyces lactis is a petite-negative yeast that does not form viable mitochondrial genome-deletion mutants (petites) when treated with DNA-targeting drugs. Loss of mtDNA is lethal for this yeast but mutations at three loci termed MGI, for mitochondrial genome integrity, can suppress this lethality. The three loci encode the α-, β- and γ-subunits of mitochondrial F1-ATPase. In this study we report the isolation and characterization of the KlATPδ gene encoding the δ-subunit of F1-ATPase. The deduced protein contains 158 amino acids showing 72% identity to the protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a putative mitochondrial targeting sequence of 23 amino acids. Disruption of the gene causes cells to become respiratory deficient while the introduction of ATPδ from S. cerevisiae restores growth on glycerol. Cells with a disrupted ATPδ gene, like strains with disruptions of α-, β- and γ-F1-subunits, do not produce petite mutants when treated with ethidium bromide. However, unlike strains with disruptions in the three largest F1-subunits, disruption of ATPδ in the presence of some mgi alleles does not abolish the Mgi– phenotype. By contrast, elimination of ATPδ in other mgi strains removes resistance to ethidium bromide and ρ 0 mutants are not formed. Hence the ATPδ subunit of F1-ATPase, while not mandatory for a Mgi– phenotype, aids some mgi alleles in suppressing ρ 0 lethality.

    Notes: Abstract Specific mgi mutations in the α, β or γ subunits of the mitochondrial F1-ATPase have previously been found to suppress ρ0 lethality in the petite-negative yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. To determine whether the suppressive activity of the altered F1 is dependent on the F0 sector of ATP synthase, we isolated and disrupted the genes KlATP4, 5 and 7, the three nuclear genes encoding subunits b, OSCP and d. Strains disrupted for any one, or all three of these genes are respiration deficient and have reduced viability. However a strain devoid of the three nuclear genes is still unable to lose mitochondrial DNA, whereas a mgi mutant with the three genes inactivated remains petite-positive. In the latter case, ρ0 mutants can be isolated, upon treatment with ethidium bromide, that lack six major F0 subunits, namely the nucleus-encoded subunits b, OSCP and d, and the mitochondrially encoded Atp6, 8 and 9p. Production of ρ0 mutants indicates that an F1-complex carrying a mgi mutation can assemble in the absence of F0 subunits and that suppression of ρ0 lethality is an intrinsic property of the altered F1 particle.

    Notes: Abstract Mycelial growth ofPhytophthora nicotianae var.parasitica in vitro was inhibited by phosphorous and acetyl salicylic acids at 10 ppm; mycelial growth ofP. citrophthora was inhibited by phosphorous acid at 10 ppm and acetyl salicylic acid at 100 ppm. Foliar sprays and soil drenches with these chemicals were compared with soil applications of metalaxyl as treatments for Phytophthora root-rot of container-grown citrus (var. Cleopatra mandarin) caused by the aforementioned spp. Foliar sprays with 0.1% phosphorous acid were as effective as the metalaxyl treatment in promoting root growth and phosphorous acid offers considerable potential as an alternative treatment for Phytophthora root-rot of citrus.
