    Notes: Abstract Using a gene bank of C. albicans, the lysine-permease deficiency in a strain of S. cerevisiae was complemented, and the restriction map of the corresponding C. albicans DNA fragment was constructed. Its expression in S. cerevisiae showed that the permease of C. albicans actively transports arginine (KT=18 μmol/l, Jmax=26 nmol/min per mg dry weight), lysine (KT=12 μmol/l, Jmax=18 nmol/min per mg dry weight), histidine (KT=37 μmol/l, Jmax=9.7 nmol/min per mg dry weight), as well as their toxic analogues canavanine and thialysine, with high affinity. The intracellular concentration of basic amino acids transported into S. cerevisiae by the C. albicans permease reaches more than a thousand-times-higher value compared to the external concentration in the medium. Accumulated amino acids do not leave the cells. The uptake is strongly reduced by the protonophores and inhibitors of plasma membrane H+-ATPase.

    Notes: Abstract Restriction fragment length polymorphism was assessed in wild and cultivated populations of Hevea brasiliensis using random probes from an Hevea nuclear library. One-hundred-and-sixty-four individuals were surveyed, and the results discussed in the light of previous work performed on isozyme variation. Both studies show that germplasm collections have led to an effective enrichment of the genetic resources available for Hevea breeding, and that cultivated clones have conserved a relatively high level of polymorphism, despite their narrow genetic base and their high level of inbreeding. An equivalent level of polymorphism is revealed by random nuclear probes and isozymes. However, the genetic structuring of the diversity appears more striking using RFLP markers. Wild accessions can be divided into three genetic groups according to their geographical origin. The present results are an essential guide to the incorporation of wild material in breeding schemes.
