Soybean lines transformed with the coat protein (CP) gene of Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) were evaluated for SMV resistance by quantifying the temporal and spatial spread of SMV strain AL-5 released from a point source in the field. The temporal spread of SMV within field plots during 1999 and 2000 was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The Gompertz model most appropriately described temporal spread. Two SMV CP transformed lines (genotypes) had significantly lower infection rates and significantly lower final SMV incidence values (P ≤ 0.05) compared with controls that did not contain the CP gene. Ordinary runs analysis revealed that the spatial pattern of SMV-infected quadrats was more clustered in plots with higher SMV infection rates. Soybean lines with the lowest infection rates had significantly higher yields in 2000 and significantly less seed coat mottling compared with the controls. To our knowledge, this is the first field study demonstrating the effectiveness of pathogen-derived resistance on the temporal and spatial dynamics of pathogen spread in soybean.

SummaryThis report describes the binding of plasminogen to fibrinogen adsorbed onto polystyrene wells. Binding was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Both glu- and lys-plasminogen bound to immobilized fibrinogen in a dose-dependent fashion. However, more lys- than glu-plasminogen bound when equal concentrations of either were added to immobilized fibrinogen. Plasminogen binding was inhibited by epsilon aminocaproic acid indicating that binding was mediated via lysine-binding regions of plasminogen. Soluble fibrinogen added in excess of immobilized fibrinogen did not compete for plasminogen binding but fibrinogen fragments produced by plasmin digestion of fibrinogen did. Treatment of immobilized fibrinogen with thrombin caused a small but significant (p <0.01) increase in plasminogen binding. These studies demonstrate that immobilized fibrinogen binds both glu- and lys-plasminogen and that binding is mediated via lysine-binding regions. These interactions may facilitate plasminogen binding to fibrinogen adsorbed on to surfaces and to cells such as platelets which bind fibrinogen.

SummaryAn increased level of plasma thrombomodulin (TM) in α- and β- thalassaemia was demonstrated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Nonsplenectomized patients with β-thalassaemia/ haemoglobin E (BE) had higher levels of TM than splenectomized cases (BE-S). Patients with leg ulcers (BE-LU) were found to have the highest increase in TM level. Appearance of larger platelets in all types of thalassaemic blood was observed indicating an increase in the number of younger platelets. These data indicate that injury of vascular endothelial cells is present in thalassaemic patients.
