    Notes: Chromosomal assignment of three enzyme coding loci was established by evaluation of the segregation distortion in the offspring of crosses between heterozygous primary trisomics of a complete series in beet (Beta vulgaris) and heterozygous diploid pollinators. Depending on the rate of isozyme polymorphism in the original plant material, at least one, but more often two, crossing cycles were needed to obtain the desired segregating populations. In one case, a backcross was used to confirm the segregation distortion, and in two cases, the chromosomal assignment of the isozyme loci was confirmed by studying the dosage shift in the electrophoretic pattern of the critical trisomics. The isocitrate dehydrogenase locus (Icd1) is situated on chromosome II, the NAD-dependent malate dehydrogenase locus (Nad-Mdh1) on chromosome III, and the aconitase locus (Aco1) on chromosome IV.

    Notes: The oestrogen receptor beta (ERß) is largely distributed in the ovary of many species but data for the bovine ovary are scare. Therefore, the expression of ERß mRNA in the different follicles of the bovine ovary was studied using in situ hybridization. Ovarian tissue sections of three cows with different plasma progesterone concentrations were used (cow 1: 3.50 ng/ml; cow 2: 1.00 ng/ml, cow 3: 0.35 ng/ml). A 602 bp fragment of ERß mRNA was cloned, sequenced and digoxigenin (DIG)-labelled. Subsequently, in situ hybridization was performed by incubating the sections with the DIG-labelled RNA anti-sense probe. For the semi-quantitative evaluation of ERß mRNA expression the ERß mRNA score (SER) was determined for the different follicular cell types using the formula: SER = 0.n0 + 1.n1+ 2.n2 + 3.n3 with n0, n1, n2, n3 indicating the percentage of cells exhibiting a staining intensity 0 (absent), 1 (weak), 2 (moderate) or 3 (strong), respectively. High ER mRNA levels were noticed in primordial and primary follicle cells, and suggest a role of ER mRNA in early folliculogenesis. A lower SER was observed in the granulosa cells of secondary and tertiary follicles. This significant difference in the SER of follicle cells during follicular growth may be associated with cell proliferation. In obliterative and cystic atretic follicles high SER were observed, although ERß mRNA levels in obliterative follicles showed much inter-individual variation. This is suggestive for ERß mediated oestrogen action in atretic follicles. In the corpora lutea moderate ERß mRNA levels were noticed. Our findings are in accordance with studies in the ewe in which corpora lutea cells synthesize estrogen. These preliminary findings will be further elaborated in a higher number of cows to examine the role of ERß in the ovary throughout the oestrus cycle.

    Notes: The localization of oestrogen receptor beta (ESR2) mRNA, in this article denominated as (ERβ) mRNA, was examined using in situ hybridization in the ovaries of randomly selected cows, irrespective of the cycle stage of the animals. A 602-bp fragment of ERβ mRNA was cloned, sequenced and digoxigenin (DIG)-labelled. Semi-quantitative evaluation showed that the scores for ERβ mRNA were moderate to high in the follicle cells of both primordial and primary follicles, but lower in granulosa cells of secondary follicles. In vital tertiary follicles, the total ERβ mRNA expression was low but varied between the different animals. In both obliterative and cystic atretic follicles, high to moderate ERβ mRNA scores were noticed in the granulosa cells. The stroma cells surrounding primordial and primary follicles and the theca cells of secondary follicles showed moderate ERβ mRNA levels, whereas the ERβ mRNA score in theca interna and theca externa cells of vital tertiary follicles was distinctly higher. In the theca cells of atretic follicles the score was even higher. Cells of corpora hemorrhagica and corpora lutea had moderate ERβ mRNA scores, while higher scores were seen in cells of corpora albicantia. Cells of the surface epithelium had a moderate score for ERβ mRNA, whereas cells of the tunica albuginea and deep stroma showed high ERβ mRNA scores. The present findings have clearly established a cell-specific localization of ERβ mRNA in several cell types in the bovine ovary.

    Notes: Abstract Segregating families of beet (Beta vulgaris) were used to verify the monofactorial inheritance of two enzyme-coding loci, leucine aminopeptidase (Lap1) and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (Got3). With a series of primary trisomies and using three methods to discriminate between the critical trisomic (the locus is situated on the triplicated chromosome) and the non-critical ones, it was possible to allocate the two loci to beet chromosomes I and II, respectively. For the locus Lap1 distorted segregation ratios were estimated, and the incorporation of three alleles into one plant was attempted. In the case of Got3 the measurement of the allele dosage effect after electrophoresis was chosen as the major strategy. The output of laser densitometric scans were subjected to the non-parametrical Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test.
