The Use Of Motor Coordination Endpoints In The F1 Generation To Evaluate For Effects Of Ethylmethanesulfonate On Pre- And Post-Meiotic Sperm Cells Of Male Mice, Lee Goldner
Masters Theses
Groups of 5 male HA(ICR) mice were injected intraperitoneally with 60, 150, 300, or 600 mg/kg body weight of ethylmethanesulfonate or with a saline control. Each male was mated to two untreated females at two weeks after treatment and then again at five weeks after treatment. The treatment groups were labelled post-meiotic and pre-meiotic relative to the stage of spermatogenesis at time of treatment. Progeny were evaluated by observations of litter size, body weight, negative geotactic response, swimming patterns, limb use, water escape time and open field motor coordination activity. Body weight, geotactic response, limb use and open field motor …

Human DNA segments homologous to the ets region from the transforming gene of avian erythroblastosis virus, E26, were molecularly cloned and shown to be closely related to the viral equivalent by hybridization and partial sequence analysis. The transforming gene of E26 has a tripartite origin with the structure ∆gag [1.2 kilobases (kb) from the viral gag gene]-myb(0.9 kb from the chicken myb gene)-ets (1.6 kb from the chicken ets gene). Human ets DNA is located on two distinct human chromosomes. The human ets-1 locus on chromosome 11 encodes a single mRNA of 6.8 kb; the second locus, …
Genetic Mapping Of Endogenous Rd-114 Retroviral Sequences Of Domestic Cats, Roger H. Reeves, William G. Nash, Stephen J. O'Brien
Genetic Mapping Of Endogenous Rd-114 Retroviral Sequences Of Domestic Cats, Roger H. Reeves, William G. Nash, Stephen J. O'Brien
Biology Faculty Articles
The RD-114 family of endogenous retroviral sequences in domestic cats has been shown to consist of approximately 20 copies of genetically divergent virogenes per haploid genome. The chromosomal localization for four endogenous sequences (RDV1-4) was accomplished by correlating the occurrence of specific feline chromosomes with diagnostic viral DNA fragments in a panel of cat x rodent somatic cell hybrids. Analysis of the hybrid panel revealed that endogenous RD-114 sequences are dispersed on multiple cat chromosomes, that certain proviral segments are polymorphic with respect to the presence or absence of virus, and that a restriction fragment characteristic of inducible RD-114 resides …
Twenty-Seven Protein Polymorphisms By Two-Dimensional Electrophoresis Of Serum, Erythrocytes, And Fibroblasts In Two Pedigrees, David Goldman, Lynn R. Goldin, P. Rathnagiri, Stephen J. O'Brien, Janice A. Egeland, Carl R. Merril

Biology Faculty Articles
Twenty-seven independent polymorphic loci were detected by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) of serum, erythrocytes, and fibroblasts in two large families and analyzed for linkage to classical genetic markers. We detected seven serum, four erythrocyte, and 17 fibroblast protein loci that exhibited charge variation in these two families and in a sample of unrelated individuals. The genetic basis of protein variants was confirmed by quantitative gene-dosage dependence and by conformance to Mendelian transmission in the two families, except for four rare variants for which transmission analysis was not possible. Linkage analysis demonstrated that each of the variants represent products of independent loci, …

Variation In Population Sex Ratio And Mating Success Of Asexual Lineages Of Alsophila Pometaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Lawrence G. Harshman, Douglas J. Futuyma
Variation In Population Sex Ratio And Mating Success Of Asexual Lineages Of Alsophila Pometaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Lawrence G. Harshman, Douglas J. Futuyma
Lawrence G. Harshman Publications
Populations of Alsophila pometaria (Harris) are largely gynogenetic and composed of asexual females that must mate with a conspecific male to reproduce. Within this asexual contingent, there are a variety of electrophoretically defined multilocus genotypes. In this study we found that populations differ in sex ratio. We also found that there is an indication of differential mating success among asexual genotypes in a population of A. pometaria.
Male Reproductive Parasitism: A Factor In The Africanization Of European Honey-Bee Populations, Thomas E. Rinderer, Richard L. Hellmich Ii, Anita M. Collins, Robert G. Danka
Male Reproductive Parasitism: A Factor In The Africanization Of European Honey-Bee Populations, Thomas E. Rinderer, Richard L. Hellmich Ii, Anita M. Collins, Robert G. Danka
Richard L Hellmich
Africanized drone honey bees (Apis mellifera) migrate into European honey-bee colonies in large numbers, but Africanized colonies only rarely host drones from other colonies. This migration leads to a strong mating advantage for Africanized bees since it both inhibits European drone production and enhances Africanized drone production
Male Effects On Fecundity In Drosophila Melanogaster, Ary A. Hoffman, Lawrence G. Harshman
Male Effects On Fecundity In Drosophila Melanogaster, Ary A. Hoffman, Lawrence G. Harshman
Lawrence G. Harshman Publications
Effects of male Drosophila melanogaster on female fecundity and productivity were examined, considering both females held in containers with males and females exposed to male effects not involving contact. Females were more fecund when male effects were present, and the largest increase was recorded when vials were previously conditioned by males. This effect was probably due to the growth of transmitted microorganisms, which were observed on the laying surface, as further experiments with vials conditioned by virgin females showed a similar increase in fecundity. A male-specific effect was isolated by conditioning bottles containing only agar with males and virgin females. …
The Origin And Distribution Of Clonal Diversity In Alsophila Pometaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Lawrence G. Harshman, Douglas J. Futuyma
The Origin And Distribution Of Clonal Diversity In Alsophila Pometaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Lawrence G. Harshman, Douglas J. Futuyma
Lawrence G. Harshman Publications
A survey of spatial and temporal variation in the frequency of electrophoretically defined genotypes in the geometrid moth Alsophila pometaria revealed a high diversity of uncommon or rare asexual genotypes and clinal distributions of two of the more common clones. There was substantial year-to-year variation in genotype frequencies in seven of eleven sites. Progeny tests have revealed that sexual reproduction is uncommon in two populations and that new asexual genotypes arise from the sexual population. The recurrent origin of asexual genotypes is likely to account for the high genetic and ecological diversity of the asexual contingent of this species’ populations, …
Unidirectional Reproductive Incompatibility Between Aedes (Protomacleaya) Brelandi And A. (P.) Hendersoni (Diptera: Culicidae)., David B. Taylor, George B. Craig
Unidirectional Reproductive Incompatibility Between Aedes (Protomacleaya) Brelandi And A. (P.) Hendersoni (Diptera: Culicidae)., David B. Taylor, George B. Craig
David B Taylor
Forced mating was used to determine reproductive compatibility between two species in the Triseriatus Group of Aedes (Protomacleaya). In the cross between A. hendersoni Cockerell females and A. brelandi Zavortink males, only 7% of the females laid eggs that developed embryos. Furthermore, <5% of the eggs from single-female clutches in which one or more eggs did embryonate were fertile. In the reciprocal cross, A. brelandi females crossed to A. hendersoni males, 70% of the females laid fertile eggs and >80% of the eggs from those females became embryonated. Approximately 80% of the females were inseminated in both of the reciprocal crosses, No chromosomal abnormalities were observed in the hybrids. Incompatibility between the A. brelandi male genome and the A. hendersoni female cytoplasm appeared to be the cause of the reduced fertility.

Localization Of Two New Isozyme Loci, Hexl And Tpi4, To Chromosome 3, Jonathan F. Wendel, Charles W. Stuber, Major M. Goodman
Jonathan F. Wendel
Recent work with starch gel electrophoresis of coleoptile extracts has indicated that Hexl, the structural locus for the most anodal set of hexokinase isozymes, and Tpi4, which encodes the slowest migrating set of triose phosphate isomerase bands, are located on chromosome 3.

With the recent localization of several new loci, a composite listing of these loci and chromosomal locations has been compiled and is shown in Table 1. Although locations of some of the loci are tentative, many are very precisely located from studies involving 1600 to more than 1900 F2 plants.
Linkage Relationships Between A New Locus, Hex2, And Previously Assigned Loci On Chromosome 6, Jonathan F. Wendel, Charles W. Stuber, Major M. Goodman
Linkage Relationships Between A New Locus, Hex2, And Previously Assigned Loci On Chromosome 6, Jonathan F. Wendel, Charles W. Stuber, Major M. Goodman
Jonathan F. Wendel
Starch gel electrophoresis of maize coleoptile extracts in our laboratory has shown two zones of staining for isozymes of hexokinase. Genetic analyses 9 indicate that the slower migrating set of bands is encoded by the structural gene Hex2 and that the enzyme is monomeric. Recent linkage analyses and work with B-A translocation stocks (generously supplied by Jack Beckett) have allowed for the placement ofHex2 on the long arm of chromosome 6. Its location relative to other markers on 6L was determined from the analysis of two very large F2 populations generated for other reasons.

To improve the degree to which the com genome is biochemically marked, we have expanded the number of enzyme systems analyzed by starch gel electrophoresis. Seven new enzyme systems encoded by a minimum of 16 loci have been added to the 23 loci used for previous work in our laboratory. A wide range of domestic and exotic maize has been screened for variation at these new loci and genetic analysis of variant electromorphs is well under way. Crosses with B-A translocation stocks (kindly provided by Jack Beckett), previously mapped allozyme loci, and in a few cases morphological markers, are being …

Seasonal Responses Of Filtration Rates To Temperature, Oxygen Availability, And Particle Concentration Of The Freshwater Clam, Musculium Partumeium (Say), Albert J. Burky, Richard B. Benjamin, Denis G. Conover, Jennifer Detrick
Biology Faculty Publications
Seasonal filtration rates of a pond population of the freshwater pisidiid clam, Musculium partumeium (Say), were assessed by measuring the clearance of 2.02 µ.m latex beads from suspension and expressed in terms of FR = a(AFDW}b where FR = filtration rate (ml H20 · hr- 1 ) , AFDW = mg ash-free dry weight of a whole clam and "a" and "b" are constants. The a-values ( = FR of a 1-mg AFDW clam} vary seasonally with the highest rates corresponding to periods of maximum growth and reproduction in the spring and fall. Changes in "b" reflect the influence of …
A Comparison Of The Acidic Extracellular Polysaccharides From Rhizobium Trifolii Mutants Affected In Trifolium Repens Root Hair Curling, Brian Andrew Hanley
A Comparison Of The Acidic Extracellular Polysaccharides From Rhizobium Trifolii Mutants Affected In Trifolium Repens Root Hair Curling, Brian Andrew Hanley
Masters Theses
The compositions and sugar linkages of the acidic extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) from several Rhizobium trifolii mutants were compared. These mutants were derived from a wild type Rhizobium trifolii, ANU843, and are unable to cause normal root hair curling, Hac-, or nodulate clover, Nod-. Three of the mutants contain a Tn5 insertion in a 5.3 kb BglII fragment of the symbiotic plasmid (pSym). A fourth mutant is missing the pSym, which includes much of the 5.3 kb BglII fragment, both of these deletions result in Hac-Nod- phenotypes. When the 5.3 kb BglII fragment is cloned (pRT150) and reinserted into the …
