The membrane component of the ribosomal bodies from the lizardLacerta sicula: a freeze-etching study
Summary We have studied, using the freeze-etching technique, the cytomembranes of the flat cystenae, regularly interposed between the cristalline sheets of ribosomes, inside the ribosomal bodies of the hibernating lizardLacerta sicula. The results show the presence, on the protoplasmic face (PF), of numerous IMPs (intramembrane particles) which can be separated into two populations. The flatter ones appear to be arranged in a regular pattern, with the support of the optical diffraction analysis, can be correlated with the disposition of the ribosomes in the cristalline sheets.6 October 1986 相似文献

Generally rodents are found to be larger on islands than on the mainland. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, and the aim of this paper is to examine one of them. On the mainland of Senegal,Mastomys huberti occupies humid habitats. However, it occurs also on dry and sandy islands (Saloum delta), where its representatives are dwarf. Since water availability appeared to be the limiting factor in these islands when compared to the mainland, we studied water turnover characteristics in relation to body size, in mainland and island populations at the end of the dry season, under both field and laboratory conditions. All populations were found to be water balanced in their natural habitats. They presented similar rates of water turnover, even though island animals were subjected to stronger constraints than mainland ones. Laboratory experiments suggested that the physiological plasticity of one of the island populations may be reduced. Island populations have a higher kidney size to body weight ratio than those from the mainland. We propose that smaller size in the islands allows the maintenance of water balance with a smaller amount of water, and that a higher ratio of kidney filtration surface to body size may helpMastomys huberti to survive in dry islands. We discuss the factors responsible for body size variability and variation in water exchange characteristics and conclude that different factors could explain body size variation among island populations, depending on the species considered and the ecological constraints met within the islands. 相似文献

Summary The effect of 750 second chromosomes ofDrosophila melanogaster on viability was studied. 19.3% of them proved letal or semilethal (=drastics) in homozygous condition. Compared to data obtained in previous years at the same sampling site, a significant frequency decrease of drastics during the past decade could be observed. The dynamic processes taking place in the Korean wild populations ofD. melanogaster are discussed.Acknowledgment.

Summary The morphotype, chromosome number and Feulgen-DNA content of bisexual and unisexual populations ofMacrobiotus pseudohufelandi were examined. Individuals of unisexual populations were triploid with ameiotic parthenogenesis. Their lowest Feulgen-DNA content is about three-fold that of sperm from a bisexual population. Egg shell shape also differs in the two types of population. However, the highest Feulgen-DNA content was the same (24 A.U.) in both diploid and triploid animals.Study funded by MPI grant. 相似文献

The Antarctic marine spongeTedania charcoti has been shown to contain extraordinarily high natural concentrations of cadmium and zinc, which have in turn been correlated to the ability of the crude ethanol extract to modulate protein phosphorylation in chicken forebrain and to inhibit the growth of several test bacteria. 相似文献

Summary Greenbugs of biotype E that grow and reproduce well on a biotype C-resistant sorghum (IS 809) were crossed with biotype C greenbugs. The resulting hybrids were tested on IS 809 to study how the ability to overcome the cultivar's resistance is inherited. Only those hybrids stemming from biotype E mothers were able to overcome the resistance of IS 809 plants, indicating that this trait is inherited by the sexually-produced fundatrices in an extra-nuclear manner from the mother. A plausible explanation for this phenomenon is presented. 相似文献
