The use of a genetic approach to study the biosynthetic pathways leading to the production of secondary metabolites in grapes is difficult given the long generation times and difficulty in transforming this species. In the present study, GC/MS and microarray experiments were used to identify compounds produced in grape cell cultures in response to jasmonates and to examine the expression of genes from pathways that produce these secondary metabolites. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and jasmonic acid (JA) treatments resulted in the production of at least 25 compounds with sesquiterpene-like mass spectra in the cell cultures. A significantly greater amount of proanthocyanidins was produced in the MeJA-treated cell cultures compared with controls and stilbene biosynthesis was induced in both MeJA- and JA-treated cells. Salicylic acid (SA) suppressed the MeJA-associated increase in sesquiterpenes and proanthocyanidins, but SA did not suppress the stilbene production induced by MeJA treatment. The mechanism by which jasmonates induced secondary metabolite production in cultured grape cells varied depending on the pathway. The increased production of proanthocyanidins and stilbenes was associated with the induction of all of the genes in associated biosynthesis pathways, including those involved in the production of phenylalanine, whereas increased sesquiterpene synthesis was linked to the induction of certain genes from relevant biosynthesis pathways.

In 1968, Sugimura and Yanagawa described a small 25 nm virus like particle in association with the Matsuda strain of infectious canine hepatitis virus (ICHV). Domoto and Yanagawa showed that this particle was dependent on ICHV for its replication in primary dog kidney cell cultures (PDK) and was resistant to heating at 70°C for 10 min, and concluded that it was a canine adeno-associated virus (CAAV). Later studies by Onuma and Yanagawa compared CAAV with the known human serotypes (AAV 1, 2, 3) and AAV-4, known to be associated with African Green Monkeys. Using the complement fixation (CF) test, they found that CAAV was serologically related to AAV-3 and had wide distribution in the dog population of Japan.

The cause of bluecomb disease in turkeys is unknown. Filtration of infective intestinal contents suggests a viral origin. To date, it has not been possible to isolate the etiologic agent in various cell cultures. The purpose of this work was to characterize as many virus-like entities as were recognizable in intestines of both healthy and bluecomb-infected turkeys. By a comparison of the viral populations it was hoped that some insight might be gained into the cause of this disease. Studies of turkey hemorraghic enteritis by Gross and Moore (Avian Dis. 11: 296-307, 1967) have suggested that a bacteriophage-host cell interaction may bear some causal relationship to that disease.

The purpose of this paper is to present observations on the fine structure of rat granulosa cell cultures grown in the presence of an adenohypophyseal explant and to correlate the morphology of these cells with progestin secretion. Twenty-six day old immature female rats were given a single injection of 5 IU pregnant mares serum gonadotropin (PMS) in order to obtain ovaries with large vesicular follicles. At 66 hrs. post-PMS administration (estrus indicated by vaginal smear cytology), the ovaries were removed and placed in a petri dish containing medium 199 and 100 U penicillin/streptomycin (P/S)/ml. Under a 20X magnification dissecting microscope, some 5-8 vesicular follicles/ovary were punctured and the granulosa cells were expressed into the surrounding medium. The cells were transferred to centrifuge tubes and spun down at 1000 rpm for 5 mins.

A new virus, established as a member of the herpesvirus group by electron microscopy, was isolated from spontaneously degenerating cell cultures derived from the kidneys and lungs of two normal tree shrews. The virus was found to replicate best in cells derived from the homologous species. The cells used were a tree shrew cell line, T-23, which was derived from a spontaneous soft tissue sarcoma. The virus did not multiply or did so poorly for a limited number of passages in human, monkey, rodent, rabbit or chick embryo cells. In the T-23 cells, the virus behaved as members of the subgroup B of herpesvirus, in that the virus remained primarily cell associated.
