    Notes: Abstract The nucleotide sequence of the entire nuclear-encoded precursor for subunit delta of the ATP synthase from spinach thylakoid membranes was determined by cDNA sequencing. Appropriate recombinant DNAs were selected from pBR322 and lambda gt11 libraries made from polyadenylated RNA of greening spinach seedlings. The mature protein consists of 187 amino acid residues corresponding to a molecular weight of 20468. The precursor protein (257 amino acid residues; M r=27676) is probably processed between a Met-Val bond. The predicted secondary structure of the transit sequence (70 residues; 7.2 kDa) resembles that of the Rieske Fe/S polypeptide, but shows little similarity with those of stromal or luminal proteins. The comparison of the chloroplast delta amino acid sequence with the published delta sequences from respiratory ATP synthases of bacterial and mitochondrial sources and from the thylakoid ATP synthase of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus suggests substantial divergence at the genic level although structural elements appear to be remarkably conserved.

    Notes: Summary We have begun to apply techniques for the preparation and anaylsis of large DNA segments from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) addition lines carrying a mitotically stable chromosome fragment from B. procumbens that confers monogenic resistance to the nematode Heterodera schachtii, with a view towards isolating the resistance gene. DNA probes specific for this chromosome fragment were selected, and various methods for cloning genome-specific fragments, including probes from megabase DNA separated in pulsed-field slab gels, are compared. Probes that display high homology to B. procumbens have been used for hybridization of a representative genomic library and for initial step in mapping the chromosome fragment via pulsed-field gel electrophoresis after restriction with infrequently cutting enzymes. Our data indicate that DNA molecules from the entire chomosome fragment can be separated from protoplast DNA lysates.

    Notes: Summary We have established a first linkage map for beets based on RFLP, isozyme and morphological markers. The population studied consisted of 96 F2 individuals derived from an intraspecific cross. As was expected for outbreeding species, a relatively high degree of polymorphism was found within sugar beet; 47% of the DNA markers were polymorphic for the chosen population. The map consists of 115 independent chromosomal loci designated by 108 genomic DNA probes, 6 isozyme and one morphological marker. The loci cover 789 cM with an average spacing of 6.9 cM. They are dispersed over nine linkage groups corresponding to the haploid chromosome number of Beta species. Eighteen markers (15.4%) showed distorted segregation which, in most instances, can be explained by gametic selection of linked lethal loci. The application of the linkage map in sugar beet breeding is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Two diploid (2n=18) sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) lines which carry monogenic traits for nematode (Heterodera schachtii Schm.) resistance located on translocations from the wild beet species Beta procumbens were investigated. Short interspersed repetitive DNA elements exclusively hybridizing with wild beet DNA were found to be dispersed around the translocations. The banding pattern as revealed by genomic Southern hybridization was highly conserved among translocation lines of different origins indicating that the translocations are not affected by recombination events with sugar beet chromosomes. Physical mapping revealed that the entire translocation is represented by a single Sal I fragment 300 kb in size. A representative YAC (yeast artifical chromosome) library consisting of approximately 13,000 recombinant clones (2.2 genome equivalents) with insert sizes ranging between 50 and 450 kb and an average of 130kb has been constructed from the resistant line A906001. Three recombinant YACs were isolated from this library using the wild beet-specific repetitive elements as probes for screening. Colinearity between YAC inserts and donor DNA was confirmed by DNA fingerprinting utilizing these repetitive probes. The YACs were arranged into two contigs with a total size of 215 kb; these represent a minimum of 72% of the translocation.

    Notes: Summary Summary Several cDNA clones encoding the entire Rieske FeS-precursor protein of the chloroplast cytochrome b 6 f-complex have been isolated by high density plaque immunoscreening of a phage lambda gt11 cDNA expression library, made from poly A+-RNA of spinach seedlings. The identity of the cDNAs has been confirmed by N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the purified protein. The nucleotide sequence indicates a protein of 247 amino acid residues including a putative transit sequence of 68 amino acids corresponding to molecular masses of 26.3 kDa (precursor) and 18.8 kDa (mature protein; 179 amino acid residues). Alignteins of the sequence with sequences from Rieske FeS-proteins of respiratory electron transport chains, two of bacterial and three of mitochondrial origin, shows little sequence homology, but remarkable similarity in secondary structure including a putative N-terminal transmembrane segment of about 25 residues and the peptides CTHLGCV and CPCHGS in the C-terminal region of the protein that are involved in the binding of the Fe2S2-cluster.

    Notes: Summary Genes conferring resistance to the beet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii Schm.) have been transferred to sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) from three wild species of the Procumbentes section using monosomic addition and translocation lines, because no meiotic recombination occurs between chromosomes of cultured and wild species. In the course of a project to isolate the nematode resistance genes by strategies of reverse genetics, probes were cloned from DNA of a fragmented B. procumbens chromosome carrying a resistance gene, which had been isolated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. One probe (pRK643) hybridized with a short dispersed repetitive DNA element, which was found only in wild beets, and thus may be used as a molecular marker for nematode resistance to progenies of monosomic addition lines segregating resistant and susceptible individuals. Additional probes for the resistance gene region were obtained with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based strategy using repetitive primers to amplify DNA located between repetitive elements. One of these probes established the existence of at least six different chromosomes from wild beet species, each conferring resistance independently of the others. A strict correlation between the length of the wild beet chromatin introduced in fragment addition and translocation lines and the repeat copy number has been used physically to map the region conferring resistance to a chromosome segment of 0.5-3 Mb.

    Notes: Summary Several cDNA clones encoding the “33 kDa” protein associated with the photosynthetic water oxidation activity of spinach were sequenced. A 1208 bp insert of one of the clones encodes the entire 331 amino acid residues of the precursor protein including 84 amino acids (8.5 kDa) of the amino-terminal transit peptide, 49 bp of the 5′ and 111 bp of the 3′ untranslated segment of the mRNA. The 3′ poly(A) tail starts 19 bp downstream from a putative polyadenylation signal, TATAAA. The hydrophilic mature protein consists of 247 amino acid residues corresponding to an Mr of 26.5 kDa, which is 6.5 kDa smaller than the value determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (33–34 kDa), and shows a certain degree of conservation with the putative Mn-complexing active sites of bacterial Mn-dependent superoxide dismutases. The anatomy of the unusually long transit sequence is discussed with regard to current concepts of protein import into and protein routein within the organelle.
