Allelism tests among 15 independently established dwarf lines revealed that five loci are involved in dwarfism in common buckwheat. They are designated dwA, dwB, dwC, dwD and dwE. The frequencies of dwarf mutants at four loci, dwA, dwB, dwC and dwD were investigated in three Japanese populations, Iwate, Togakushi, Higashi-Iyayama, by using four representative homozygous lines as the testers. The frequencies varied slightly among the populations, but on the average they were 0.235%, 0.067%, 0.294% and 0.196% for the dwA, dwB, dwC and dwD loci, respectively. These low allele frequencies imply that the recurrent mutation is balanced by selection against the dwarf alleles. This conclusion was confirmed by supplemental data on the frequency of dwarf mutants per gamete and a field survey of dwarf homozygotes in randomly mating populations in farmer&prime;s field. Approximately 0.50% of the gametes contain a dwarf allele, whereas the incidence of dwarfism in the randomly mating populations was only 4.25 &times;10<sup>-6</sup>. The latter estimate was based on a study of more than 3 million plants.

Allozyme variability at 19 loci affecting 12 enzymes was analyzed electrophoretically in 21 populations from Europe and six populations from the silk road. Most of the populations were polymorphic at seven loci, <i>Dia-2</i>, <i>Got-2</i>, <i>Mdh-1</i>, <i>Mdh-3</i>, <i>Pgm-1</i>, <i>Pgm-2</i> and <i>Sdh-1</i>. As compared with Chinese populations, European populations have completely lost variability at <i>Adh</i> and <i>6-Pgdh-1.</i> Populations from southern Europe have less variability than those from other parts of Europe. They have lost variability at <i>Pgm-2</i> and have a greatly reduced frequency of the F allele at <i>Mdh-1</i>; occasionally, however, they show an increase in the frequency of the U allele at the <i>Got-2 </i>locus. Southern European populations show an increase in the <i>det</i> allele and in grey colored varieties. As a group, European populations show the smallest genetic distance with populations from the silk road and northern China. Combining these genetic findings with written documents and archeological evidence, I conclude that European buckwheat came from northern China via the silk road, and that it changed in many respects within the last 500 years.<br>

In sharp contrast to the Darwinian theory of evolution by natural selection, the neutral theory claims that the overwhelming majority of evolutionary changes at the molecular level are caused by random fixation (due to random sampling drift in finite populations) of selectively neutral (i.e., selectively equivalent) mutants under continued inputs of mutations. The theory also asserts that most of the genetic variability within species at the molecular level (such as protein and DNA polymorphism) are selectively neutral or very nearly neutral and that they are maintained in the species by the balance between mutational input and random extinction. The neutral theory is based on simple assumptions, enabling us to develop mathematical theories based on population genetics to treat molecular evolution and variation in quantitative terms. The theory can be tested against actual observations. Neo-Darwinians continue to criticize the neutral theory, but evidence for it has accumulated over the last two decades. The recent outpouring of DNA sequence data has greatly strengthened the theory. In this paper, I review some recent observations that strongly support the neutral theory. They include such topics as pseudoglobin genes of the mouse, αA-crystallin genes of the blind mole rat, genes of influenza A virus and nuclear vs. mitochondrial genes of fruit flies. I also discuss such topics as the evolution of deviant coding systems in Mycoplasma, the origin of life and the unified understanding of molecular and phenotypic evolution. I conclude that since the origin of life on Earth, neutral evolutionary changes have predominated over Darwinian evolutionary changes, at least in number.

We analyzed the restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the spacer regions of ribosomal DNA (rDNA), using twelve restriction enzymes, to examine whether the Iriomote cat is related to the leopard cat (<i>Felis bengalensis</i>). A restriction map for each taxon was constructed and the major taxon-specific types of repeating unit (repetypes) were characterized on the basis of the arrangements of restriction sites. The Iriomote cat and the leopard cat share a common repetype but this repetype is different from that of the domestic cat (<i>F. catus</i>) with an estimated sequence divergence of 1.5% and from that of the ocelot (<i>F. paradalis</i>) with an estimated sequence divergence of 2.5%. These results indicate that, phylogenetically, the Iriomote cat is closely related to the leopard cat and that the ancestral population moved from the continent to Iriomote Island quite recently. The rDNA arrays of the leopard cat exhibit considerable intragenomic size-variation, which is thought to have emerged as a result of differences in numbers of repeated DNA segments, whereas the extent of such size-variation is much lower in the rDNA of the Iriomote cat. It appears that, even though migration of the Iriomote cat occurred relatively recently, the population has diverged to some extent from its continental counterpart, perhaps via fixation of preexistent intraspecific variations rather than by generation of new variations.<br>

Induced somatic pink mutation frequencies in the stamen hairs of Tradescantia KU 20 clone, a blue/pink heterozygote highly mutable spontaneously at lower temperature, were studied after treating with relatively small doses of Co-60 gamma rays (39 to 551 mGy or 3.9 to 55.1 rad), and were compared with those of two stable clones (non-mutable spontaneously), BNL 02 and KU 9, which are also blue/pink heterozygotes. It was found that the gamma-ray-induced mutation frequency in KU 20 clone was comparable (18.8 pink mutant events per 10(4) hair-cell divisions per Gy) to those in BNL 02 (12.2 and 21.2) and KU 9 (17.4) clones, when the spontaneous mutation frequencies of KU 20 clone were relatively low (at most about 5.7 and 2.3 times of BNL 02 and KU 9 clones, respectively). However, when the spontaneous mutation frequecies of KU 20 clone were much higher (up to about 65 and 27 times of BNL 02 and KU 9 clones, respectively), induced mutation frequency was significantly higher in KU 20 clone (58.8 pink mutant events per 10(4) hair-cell divisions per Gy) than in BNL 02 and KU 9 clones. The extent of increase in the gamma-ray-induced mutation frequency in the latter case was nevertheless very much less than the increase in the spontaneous mutation frequency, suggesting different mechanisms of initiation and repair of radiation-induced and spontaneous mutations.

1951年から1960年にわたる10年間, 異なった種類の組合せ(銀黒×銀黒, プラチナ×プラチナ,銀黒×プラチナ)についてそれぞれ10組の交配を行ない, その産児の litter size, 性比および毛色の分離を調査した。その結果は第1~4表と第1図に要約される。プラチナ形質は銀黒に対して優性でプラチナ遺伝子をホモにもつと致死作用を現わし, プラチナ狐はその遺伝子に関して常にヘテロの状熊にある。従ってプラチナ相互の交配による産児の表現は銀黒とプラチナに分離しその割合は 1:2となる。litter size は毛色の組合せによって異なり, 銀黒×プラチナでは銀黒相互交配の場合よりかなり小さく, むしろプラチナ相互交配の litter size に近い値を示した。このことより銀黒狐に対してプラチナ狐を配すると, より多くの虚弱胎児をもつことが想像され, それにはプラチナ親の生殖細胞かプラチナ遺伝子ヘテロの胎児に原因があるように思われる。産児の性比はいずれの場合も正常で, 銀黒およびプラチナ形質は常染色体性の遺伝をなすものと考えられる。

A mutant of a strain of the SR organisms (SRO, transovarially transmitted male-killing spiroplasmas) of Drosophila is described. The mutant, NSRO-A, has lost the male-specific killing activity on host flies, but maintains other properties such as the clump forming spectrum and the extractable titer of the associated virus as original NSRO strain.

Young inflorescences of <i>Tradescantia</i> clones KU 27 and BNL 4430, the both of which are blue/pink heterozygotes and have been demonstrated to be highly sensitive to alkylating agents, were exposed either to aqueous solutions of methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) for 16hr alone (at 0.005 to 0.02% for KU 27 and at 0.005% for BNL 4430) or to acute 150 kVp X rays alone (161 to 531 mGy for KU 27 and 501 to 976 mGy for BNL 4430), or in combinations (134 to 448 mGy for KU 27 and 458 to 865mGy for BNL 4430 after the 0.005% MMS treatment). The induced somatic pink mutation frequencies per hair-cell division were studied and compared, and clone BNL 4430 was found to be nearly two times more sensitive to MMS than clone KU 27, while the X-ray-induced mutation frequencies in the latter was about 1.5 times higher than those in the former. The lower sensitivity to MMS of clone KU 27 (as compared with BNL 4430) was nevertheless about 5.6 times higher as compared with the responses of clone BNL 02 to MMS reported earlier, proving the high sensitivities of the two clones used in the present study. Clear synergistic effects of MMS and X rays were observed in the both clones, indicating that the mechanisms of inducing mutations are common at least in part between MMS and X rays.<br>

The chromosomes of two octopods, Octopus vulgaris (Lamarck) and O. variabilis Sasaki, were observed in male germ-cells. The chromosome number was found to be 28 (n) in both species. Morphologically there is a genearal similarity between the two in respect to the chromosomes. There is no evidence for the presence of a sex chromosome in the male.

Two triploid clones (KU 7 and KU 9) of Tradescantia heterozygous for flower color were exposed to 1 to 42.3R of gamma rays or the scattering radiation in the gamma field of the Institute of Radiation . Breeding. Occurrence of somatic pink mutations in the stamen hairs was investigated 10 to 16 (or 14) days after irradiation. The mutation frequency was found to increase linearly with increasing gamma-ray exposure in the both clones, and the frequencies of 0.437 and 0.468 pink mutant events per 103 hairs per R were determined for KU 7 and KU 9, respectively. When the data collected in the present study were analyzed together with those obtained in earlier experiments in the gamma field, linear relationships of the somatic mutation frequency with gamma-ray (2.1 to 201.6R) and scattering radiation (0.72 to 57.6R) exposures were confirmed. Scattering radiation was found to have a genetical efficiency more than two times higher than that of gamma rays. Variation of spontaneous mutation frequency observed in the present study and in earlier studies was inversely correlated to temperature variation.
