    Notes: The barley cultivar ‘Lenins’ was found to be a genotype showing high shoot regeneration ability in cultures derived from immature embryos. Five cultivars different from ‘Lenins’ in shoot regeneration ability were reciprocally crossed with ‘Lenins’ and the inheritance of tissue culture traits was investigated. F2 plants showed continuous distributions in callus growth and percentage of shoot regeneration, suggesting that these traits were controlled by polygenes. The F2 population, derived from a cross between ‘Lenins’ and ‘6721′, showed a monogenic segregation for the number of regenerated shoots, and the segregation ratio fitted 1:2:1. Tissue culture traits of ‘Lenins’ were controlled by several genes, whereas the number of regenerated shoots related to the efficiency of shoot regeneration is controlled by one major gene.

    Notes: Investigations onto the thermostability of β-amylase in 274 varieties of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) indicated that all varieties except one were distributed into three types of high (type A), intermediate (type B), and low (type C) thermostability, respectively. One variety (TB29) from China showed no β-amylase activity. Geographical variation was observed in the thermostability of β-amylase. Type C varieties were not observed in East Asia (Japan, the Korean Peninsula, China and Nepal), although 36 out of 37 varieties in Ethiopia were type C. Most of the varieties were Type A in Japan, the Korean Peninsula and China, whereas the frequency of type A and type B were nearly equal in Nepal. Varieties in the other five areas (North America, North Africa, Southwest Asia, Turkey and Europe) consisted of types A, B and C. These results support the fact that East Asian cultivars are genetically different from those of the western regions, as previously reported.

    Notes: Eighty-four cultivars of barley (Hordeum vulgare) and 95 wild strains (82 of H. spontaneum and 13 of H. agriocrithon) were surveyed for the production of callus, callus growth, and shoot regeneration in cultures derived from immature embryos. All cultivars except for ‘Turkey 381′, induced calli from more than 90% of embryos. On the other hand, the wild lines showed a large variation in the percentage of callus induction from 0 to 100%. Among the cultivars, those with the brittle rachis genotype, bt Bt2, on chromosome 3H, regenerated shoots with a significantly higher percentage than the cultivars with the Bt bt2 genotype. Green shoots were produced in a higher ratio (0.84) in the cultivars than in the wild lines (0.52). Among the lines examined,‘Lenins’ regenerated shoots efficiently (90.4%) and produced the highest number of calli with green shoots per embryo (4.77) followed by ‘Golden Promise’ (3.15). Examination of callus growth and shoot regeneration from embryos at different developmental stages revealed that scutellum development affected the quantity and quality of callus and shoot regeneration.

    Notes: The addition of gibberellin A3 (GA3) to culture media induced a dramatic elongation of the first internode in Hong Mang Mai, a wheat variety tolerant to deep-seeding conditions. The length of the first internode in the GA3-treated seedlings reached approximately 45 cm, which is twice as long as that of the control, whereas first internodes of other varieties were 3 to 12 cm long and hardly affected by GA3. The level of endogenous gibberellins (GA) in Hong Mang Mai was not greater than that of other wheat varieties. The expression of GAMyb, a transcription factor, was abundant in the first internode and substantially increased by GA3 application in Hong Mang Mai, compared with other wheat varieties. These results suggest that the first internode of Hong Mang Mai is more sensitive to GA in inducing strong elongation. The presence of potassium in the culture media was indispensable for the first internode elongation. Application of GA3 enhanced the uptake of potassium in Hong Mang Mai. Higher sensitivity of the first internode to GA could cause strong elongation by increasing the amount of osmotic solute, which plays an important role in the tolerance mechanism of Hong Mang Mai to deep-seeding conditions.

    Notes: MyD88 is a key adaptor molecule for signalling via Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and the response to gut commensal microbes. To investigate the role of TLRs/MyD88 pathway in the development of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), we examined the development of Peyer's patches (PPs) and cryptopatch (CP), and also one of effector compartment, intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL) in MyD88–/–, TLR2–/– and TLR4–/– mice. In MyD88–/– mice, the organogenesis of PPs was not disturbed. However, PPs in 2-week-old MyD88–/– mice were significantly smaller than those in MyD88+/– mice. Also, in 2-week-old TLR4–/–, but not TLR2–/– mice, PPs did not develop rapidly. The development of PPs in MyD88–/– and TLR4–/– mice was completely recovered in 10 weeks. PP cells from MyD88–/– mice showed significant decrease in proliferation when stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. The development of CP and IEL was also normal in 10-week-old MyD88–/– mice. These results suggest that the TLRs/MyD88 pathway might be involved in the development of PPs only at early postnatal stage, and TLRs/MyD88-independent signalling is critically involved in the development of GALT in adult mice.

    Notes: Deep-seeding and ethylene were found to stimulate extension growth of the first internode of intact wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings in darkness. Seedlings of Hon Mang Mai emerged from much deeper in the soil than the seedlings of the other varieties used and their first internodes elongated to a much greater extent in response to ethylene. Carbon dioxide slowed elongation of the first internode and inhibited ethylene action. Elongation of the first internode due to deep-seeding and ethylene treatment showed high heritabilities, suggesting a genetic basis underlying those traits.

    Notes: The relation between non-specific bronchial responsiveness and allergic sensitivity was evaluated in children with asthma. Bronchial responsiveness was determined by methacholine inhalation challenge test, and was expressed as a provocative concentration of methacholine causing a 20% fall in FEV1 (PC20). RAST titre for Dermatophagoides farinae and serum IgE level were evaluated as parameters of allergic sensitivity. When the PC20 vaiues, RAST titres for D. farinae. and serum IgE levels of 47 asthmatic children and 16 normal controls were compared. the asthmatic children had significantly lower PC20 values and higher D. farinae-RAST titres and serum IgE levels than the normal controls. The correlation analyses in 47 asthmatic children have shown that there is no significant correlation between PC20 values and RAST titres for D. farinae (r= 0.04. P 〉 0.1) or between PC20 values and serum IgE levels (r= 〈 0.03 P 〉 0.1). These results suggest thaty although both bronchial hyperresponsiveness and allergic sensitizalion may be in some way related to one another in children with asthma, the magnitude of allergie sensilization does not influence the degree of the non-specific bronchial responsiveness.

    Notes: To understand the relevance of allergy to the development of asthma in children, we examined basophil hislamine release (HR) with Df antigen, blood cosinophii counts, serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels, and bronchial responsiveness to methacholine (PC20) in three groups of children, including 36 asthmatics with high RAST titre for Df (group 1), 36 non-asthmatics with similarly high RAST titre for Df (group 2) and 21 non-asthmatics with negative RAST titre for Df (group 3). The amount of Df antigen inducing 50% HR from basophils did not vary significantly between group 1 and 2 (P〉0.05), while none of the cells responded to higher concentrations of Df in group 3. The mean number of blood eosinophils and level of serum ECP were highest in group 1, and lowest in group 3, with group 2 being intermediate, and the differences were significant between all three groups (P〈0.01). The mean PC20 value was the lowest in group 1, intermediate in group 2, and the highest in group 3, and the differences were significant between all three groups (P〈0.01). While correlation studies showed that PC20 values of group 2 subjects signficantly correlated with their eosinophil numbers (r=–0.48, P〈0.01) and ECP levels (r =–0.49, P 〈 0.01), such correlations were not found in group 1 subjects. These results suggest that the degree of the eosinophilic inflammation caused by the allergic reaction to mites is an important factor in determining the clinical expression of asthma in atopic subjects.

    Notes: IL-4 gene cluster on chromosome 5 contains several candidate genes for atopy and asthma. Several independent studies have shown evidence for linkage between the markers flanking IL-4 gene cluster and asthma and/or asthma-related traits. Interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) is located approximately 300 kb telomeric to IL-4 and recent study reveals that IRF-1 deficiency results in an elevated production of Th2-related cytokines and a compensatory decrease in the expression of native cell- and Th1-related cytokines.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉ObjectiveTo determine if there are any mutations associated with the development of atopy and asthma present in the coding exons and 5′ flanking region of the IRF-1 gene.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods and resultsWe have screened the promoter and coding regions of the IRF-1 gene in atopic asthmatics and controls by SSCP method. We found three novel nuclear variants (the −300G/T and 4396 A/G polymorphisms and the 6355G 〉 A rare variant) in the IRF-1 gene. No variants causing amino acid alterations of IRF-1 were detected. The −300G/T polymorphism was in nearly complete linkage disequilibrium with the 4396 A/G polymorphism. An association between the 4396 A 〉 G polymorphism and atopy/asthma was examined by transmission disequilibrium test in 81 asthmatic families. Either of 4396 A or 4396G alleles was not significantly preferentially transmitted to atopy- or asthma-affected children.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉ConclusionThe IRF-1 gene is less likely to play a substantial role in the development of atopy and asthma in the Japanese population.
