(Table 1) Age determination of ODP Leg 166 holes

Thick, late Quaternary sediment sections were recovered at several sites on the leeward slope of Great Bahama Bank during Leg 166 of the Ocean Drilling Program. These sections have paleoceanographic records with potentially high temporal resolution. To make an initial assessment of the records corresponding to the Holocene highstand of sea level, we have identified and dated the sediments from the four upper slope sites (1004, 1005, 1008, and 1009) that were deposited during the period of time which spans the last glaciation through the Holocene. Age identifications are based upon the abundances of the Globorotalia menardii complex of planktonic foraminifera, the stable oxygen isotopic ratios of bulk sediment and the planktonic foraminifera Globogerinoides ruber, and AMS C-14 dating of bulk sediment. Comparison of these data with the sediment lithologic and geoacoustic properties shows that consistent stratigraphic relationships exist at each site: The uppermost interval of aragonite-rich sediments corresponds to the Holocene highstand of sea level (i.e. oxygen isotope stage 1) and these sediments are underlain by a relatively thin interval of aragonite-poor, partially lithified sediments which corresponds to the last glaciation when sea level was significantly lower than today (i.e. oxygen isotope stages 2-4). The Leg 166 upper slope sites possess carbonate accumulation and paleoceanographic proxy records with very high temporal resolution, with Sites 1004, 1008, and 1009 appearing to have the greatest stratigraphic integrity. Comparison of core and high-resolution seismic profile data establishes the Holocene nature of the uppermost seismic unit in the stratigraphic package of the western slope of Great Bahama Bank.

Strategies to obtain stable transgenic plants from non-embryogenic lines: complementation of the nn(1) mutation of the NORK gene in Medicago sativa MN1008

Strategies to introduce genes into non-embryogenic plants for complementation of a mutation are described and tested on tetraploid alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Genes conditioning embryogenic potential, a mutant phenotype, and a gene to complement the mutation can be combined using several different crossing and selection steps. In the successful strategy used here, the M. sativa genotype MnNC-1008(NN) carrying the recessive non-nodulating mutant allele nn(1) was crossed with the highly embryogenic alfalfa line Regen S and embryogenic hybrid individuals were identified from the F1 progeny. After transformation of these hybrids with the wild-type gene (NORK), an F2 generation segregating for the mutation and transgene were produced. Plants homozygous for the mutant allele and carrying the wild-type NORK transgene could form root nodules after inoculation with Sinorhizobium meliloti demonstrating successful complementation of the nn(1) mutation.
