Abstract:
... The date distribution of emergence in panicles of Dactylis glomerata was studied over several years at the Welsh Plant Breeding Station, Aberystwyth. Indigenous populations from southwest England, and western France showed a negatively skew distribution, as did cultivars from U.S.A., Denmark, and New Zealand, but in those from U.S.S.R. the skewness was not significant. It is suggested that this ne ...

Abstract:
... An outbreak of Dermocystidium infection in cultured eels, Anguilla anguilla L., from Scotland is described. The disease appeared in the winter months but did not cause significant mortalities or adversely affect the growth of the eels. Infected eels had large, elongate white cysts on the gills. The cysts consisted of a homogeneous layer of parasite origin surrounded by a fibrous capsule and hyper- ...

A direct linear relationship between germination responses to light and alternating temperatures and storage period was recorded when seeds of three populations of Dactylis glomerata L. of contrasting origin were stored under cool dry laboratory conditions (15°C, 15% r.h.). Under these conditions the rate of after‐ripening in two batches of a Mediterranean population were independent of original d ...

Abstract:
... In Europe, Britain was relatively early in being aware of the necessity of conserving natural coastal sites, though not as early as The Netherlands. In the 1960s and 1970s, increasing economic and tourist pressures in Europe prompted measures geared to the protection of other coasts in Europe. The promptness of the British reaction was a result of a sensitive public opinion and of powerful private ...

Abstract:
... The Phytophthora complex associated with Castanea sativa Mill. was investigated in five European countries in 35 regions and with respect to various domestication levels. Annual precipitation and length of drought season were the main parameters that regulated the presence of Phytophthora species in the chestnut stands. Seven species of Phytophthora were detected; three of these, P. megasperma, P. ...

Abstract:
... The Western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera (Col.: Chrysomelidae) (Dvv), is one of the most important insect pests on corn in North America. After its accidental introduction into Serbia prior to 1993, it is now actively spreading throughout southeastern Europe and from there into central Europe. As of 2004, Germany is still considered free of Dvv, but with the exception of its neigh ...

Abstract:
... Patella vulgata is a boreal cold temperate species and is the dominant limpet in northern Europe. Few works have focussed on the population genetics of this species. Therefore, the aim of this work was to assess the degree of genetic and morphological differentiation of P. vulgata on a macroscale by using 20 allozyme loci and 6 morphological variables. Samples were taken from the following locatio ...

The colonial urochordate Botryllus schlosseri is a sedentary species of Mediterranean origin that became cosmopolitan, probably because of postglacial-period dispersal and human-mediated invasions of colonies attached to ship hulls. Here we studied microsatellite allele diversity of Atlantic coast populations from an area ranging from European regions south of the last glacial front to regions tha ...

Crops frequently display genotype x environment interaction for yield and end-use quality in response to different environments, particularly when stresses such as water limitation and temperature are components of the interaction. Plant breeders usually exploit this variation via phenotypic selection to develop varieties with both general and specific adaptation. However the individual genes and ...
