  • By JACK SCHULTZ
    VOL. 18, 1932 GENETICS: J. SCHULTZ 485 THE BEHA VIOR OF VERMILION-SUPPRESSOR IN MOSAICS By JACK SCHULTZ CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON, RESIDENT AT THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA Communicated June 13, 1932 It is a point of interest whether the suppressors of the effects of mutant genes affect development in the same way as do the wild-type allelomorphs of these genes, or behave in some other manner. The case of vermilion- suppressor in Drosophila melanogaster presents the advantage for the study of this problem that the suppressor is known to be a recessive mutant gene at another locus, and not a duplicating wild-type allelomorph of vermilion (Schultz and Bridges, 1932). The gene vermilion has the peculiarity (Sturtevant, 1920) that, in mosaics, not only the genetic constitution of the eye, but also that of the rest of the fly, determines the color of the mosaic patch. Tissue that is genetically wild type in such a mosaic, however, is "self-differentiating;" its characteristics are determined, as Sturtevant points out, by its own genetic constitution. The behavior of vermilion-suppressor in mosaics therefore provides a test of the similarity of its behavior to that of the wild-type allelomorph of vermilion. Two series of experiments were carried out. In one set, males con- taining the genes vermilion-suppressor, apricot, crossveinless, vermilion and forked, were made heterozygous for a duplication covering the sup- pressor. This duplication (134), found in an x-ray experiment by Dr. Th. Dobzhansky, belongs to the group of eversporting chromosome re- arrangements, and thus frequently gives mosaic patches.

  • Apricot (MEKO03) Nut (MEKO04)
    (41F) Koru is an interpretation of the wood found in fruit trees, characterized by light veining and distinctive knots. The name Koru derives from a Maori word and symbol representing new life, growth and peace. The colors of Mirage’s Koru are clean and crisp, creating a final look that creates a peaceful living space. The classic, natural colors are further enhanced by the opaque surface that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. The innovative finish and the high number of different images make this wood look porcelain incredibly realistic and universally appealing. Apple (MEKO01) Peach (MEKO02) Apricot (MEKO03) Nut (MEKO04) Colors are intended as a guide only and may vary from actual tile. Sizes listed are nominal.

  • Peach, Apricot, and Nectarine
    Peach, Apricot, and Nectarine plantdiseasehandbook.tamu.edu/food-crops/fruit-crops/peach-apricot-and-nectarine/ Armillaria Root Rot: This can be a major disease in older orchards and replanted orchards. (See Photo) (See Section on Mushroom Root Rot) Bacterial Canker (bacterium – Pseudomonas syringae): Elongated cankers develop at the base of buds and randomly on the trunk and scaffold limbs (See Photo). Damaged areas are slightly sunken and somewhat darker in color than the surrounding bark. At both the upper and lower margins of the canker, narrow brown streaks extend into healthy tissue. As the trees break dormancy in the spring, gum is formed by the surrounding tissue and may exert enough pressure to break through the bark and flow. The area beneath the canker has a soured odor. Individual scaffolds or the entire tree usually dies shortly after leafing out in the spring. Roots are not affected. Extensive suckering (See Photo) often occurs at the tree base. The bacterium is a weak pathogen and causes serious damage only when a tree is in a dormant condition or weakened due to unfavorable growing conditions. Bacterial canker is a component in a disease complex known as Peach Tree Short Life. Trees up to 7 years old, growing on deep sandy soil are most susceptible. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizer rates in mid to late summer. Do not encourage late fall growth. Prune when the trees are fully dormant (January and February). High dosage of a copper-containing fungicide at leaf drop has been somewhat successful. Bacterial Spot (bacterium – Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni): Symptoms on leaves are observed first as small, circular, or irregularly shaped, pale green lesions (See Photo).

Stage of maturation is usually estimated by fruit color through parameter apricot, chromatic L*,a*, b*. The goal of this study was establish feasibility of different chromatic parameters, carotenoids, indices for apricot color and quality determination and their relationship with color index pigments and ethylene concentration.

Chroma and lightness were not a good parameters to express apricot ripeness because narrow range of variation and small differences between stages of maturation and even between varieties.

  • Scab of Peach, Nectarine, Plum, and Apricot
    report on RPD No. 811 PLANT September 1988 DEPARTMENT OF CROP SCIENCES DISEASE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN SCAB OF PEACH, NECTARINE, PLUM, AND APRICOT Scab, also known as black spot or freckles, is caused by the fungus Cladosporium carpophilum. The disease occurs throughout the Midwest, wherever peaches, nectarines, plums, and apricots are grown. Nectarines, plums, and apricots are less affected than peaches. The principal loss from scab is the spotting of the fruit skin. Minor losses occur from premature defoliation and a dieback of the twigs. Warm, wet conditions during the spring and early summer after petal-fall are necessary for a severe infection by the scab fungus. Figure 1. Typical dark lesion of scab with characteristic Scab is most common in home orchards where no halo on mature peach fruit (courtesy D.F. Ritchie). specific fungicide control program is practiced. The general use of fungicides by commercial growers has reduced the loss from scab; it is a minor disease, except in very wet seasons on poorly pruned trees with poor orchard sanitation. The disease is usually more serious in low-lying, moist, shady areas where evaporation from fruit surfaces is poor. SYMPTOMS Fruit. Scab first appears on the fruit about 6 or 7 weeks after the petals have fallen, when the fruit are half-formed to nearly full grown. Small, round, olive green spots about 1/16 to 1/8 inch in diameter develop on the surface of the fruit (Figure 1). Scab is most common near the stem end or on the side of the fruit exposed to the sun.

  • Non-Reciprocal Intragenic Mitotic Recombination in Drosophila
    Genet. Res., Camb. (1974), 23, pp. 1-12 ± With 1 plate and 1 text-figure Printed in Great Britain Non-reciprocal intragenic mitotic recombination in Drosophila melanogaster BY PATRICIA TAMARAH KELLY* Department of Genetics, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720 {Received 19 March 1973) SUMMARY X-ray-induced mitotic recombination within the lozenge locus of Drosophila melanogaster was found to be non-reciprocal. Recombination was detected by the presence of faceted spots in a smooth (lozenge) eye. Markers were present so that if recombination were reciprocal, equal numbers of vermilion and apricot-vermilion-coloured faceted spots would be formed. Of 19 faceted spots found among more than 60000 eyes examined, 10 were vermilion, 7 variegated (some vermilion and some apricot-vermilion-coloured facets), and 2 probably variegated. None was uniformly apricot-vermilion in colour. Four mechanisms for the formation of faceted spots are discussed: double reciprocal recombina- tion, misrepair or gene conversion before chromatid replication, misrepair or gene conversion after chromatid replication, and misrepair or gene conversion followed by chromosome loss. The evidence most strongly supports the hypothesis that all faceted spots were formed by either mis- repair following X-irradiation or gene conversion and were originally vermilion in colour. Subsequent chromosome loss from these vermilion cells led to the production of variegated spots. Variegated spots were generally smaller than those uniformly vermilion in colour, indicating that chromosome loss may occur with greater frequency in older irradiated larvae. 1. INTRODUCTION Reciprocal intergenic mitotic recombination was first found in D. melanogaster in 1936 (Stern, 1936). More recently, mitotic recombination has been reported within the white locus of the same organism (Stern, 1969).
