Abstract
Singh B.N. and S. Sisodia (1997): Selection for high and low mating propensity in Drosophila bipectinata. -Genetika, Vol.29, No. 2, 69-81.
Artificial selection for high and low mating propensity in Drosophila bipectinata was carried out for 12 generations. Response to selection was from G5 with rapid divergence in both replicates of fast and slow lines. There was a significant difference in mean mating frequency over 12 generations between the fast and slow lines. Regression of the deviation in mating frequency from that of the control level over 12 generations of selection yielded high regression coefficients that indicated that significant progress had been made in both fast and slow directions. To test the effect of select ion on the two sexes, females and males of the selected lines were tested against their respective counterparts of the control line after G12. Fast line females and males showed higher mating frequency than slow line flies when tested against control line flies but the difference was greater for males than females. Thus both sexes are affected by selection but the effect of selection is greater for males than females. Mating frequency of F1 hybrids obtained by making reciprocal crosses between fast and slow lines (both replicates) after G12 was also studied. F1 hybrids showed. Higher sexual activity when parental males were derived from the fast line than those produced by using slow line males as parents. These findings suggest that mating activity in D. bipectinata is under poly-genic control.

Abstract
Marinković, R. and J. Atlagić (1997): New sources of fertility restoration genes for PET1 male sterile cytoplasm in sunflower. - Genetika, Vol. 29, No. 2, 83-88.
Commercial sunflower (H. annuus L.) hybrids have been developed on the basis of the male sterile cytoplasm PET1 and several restorer genes. The study presented in this paper has been undertaken with the aim of discovering new genes for fertility restoration of the PET1 cytoplasm. The study included several scores of wild H. annuus and H. petiolaris populations which were collected in the Central Great Plains of the USA in the course of 1991. Nine crosses, in which all F1 plants were fertile, were selected for the analysis of fertility restoration inheritance. All of these crosses incorporated with H. annuus populations. It was found that one dominant gene controlled fertility restoration in five crosses, while two complementary genes controlled fertility restoration in four crosses.
Key words: restoration, fertility, genes, sunflower

Protein molecular markers were used in a study of maize genome structure and function as well as the heterotic effect. A field trial with replications was set up with five generations (parents, F1, F2 and backcrosses) from 10 crosses to evaluate grain yield and yield components. Additionally, they were analysed for polymorphism of embryo salt soluble proteins and isozymes. The analysis of embryo salt soluble proteins showed that all genotypes studied had a specific protein pattern. The number of hybrid specific protein bands identified in crosses with a higher heterotic effect for yield was greater than in crosses with lower heterosis. The comparison of heterosis for grain yield and index of similarity suggests that inbred lines with the lowest level of salt soluble protein similarity expressed the highest heterosis for grain yield. Estimated correlations between isozyme diversity and grain yield and heterosis for grain yield were low and insignificant.

Permethrin is a broad spectrum non-cumulative synthetic pyrethriod insecticide, effective at low doses against a wide variety of ectoparasites of plants and animals. The frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) was examined on cultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes treated with high concentrations of permethrin. In order to ascertain possible cylotoxic or cytostatic effects, mitotic index was monitored for each experimental point.
On the basis of the obtained results it can be concluded that permethrin did not increase SCE frequency significantly, whereas mitotic activity was suppressed even at the lowest concentration tested.
Key words: permethrin, genotoxicity, sister-chromatid exchange, mitotic index

During soybean Glycine. max. L. Merrill) seed germination, new forms of Kunitz soybean trypsin inhibitor (KSTI), genetically identical to the native forms of KSTI present in the dry seed, appears, but in contrast to the latter, they have somewhat lower electro-phoretic mobility. Using polyacrylamide gel electophoresis, the new forms of KSTI were identified in two local soybean varieties (ZPS Bosa and ZPS 015) and an introduced one (Hodgson). Dry seeds of these varieties contain the Tia genetic variant of KSTI. The new form Ti''m occurs on the third or fourth germination day depending on the genotype. In the course of time, the activity of these form increases, while the activity of the natural Tia form decreases, but on the seventh-eight day from the beginning of germination both forms slowly disappear. New forms of KSTI could be the result of different gene expression of KSTI during germination and maturation or could arise after modification of native KSTI under the influence of proleases.

The genetic potential of populations for selection purposes and the efficiency of the applied methods require experimental evaluation. This study was conducted to determine the relative efficiency of indirect selection for grain yield over yield components in two early maturity maize synthetic populations (ZP Syn 99/9 and ZP Syn 101/9). Test crosses of So plants to an inbred line (ZPL 39/1), as a common tester for both populations and corresponding S1 progenies, were used. The relative efficiency of indirect selection generally ranged from 20 to 70% of direct selection for grain yield depending on the yield component. Hence, the best results concerning yield increase may be expected from direct selection for grain yield.
Key words: maize, S1 and Half-sib progenies, direct and indirect genetic gain

Efficient visual selection is based on complex relations expressing the degree of yield dependence on yield components, i.e. on observed traits. Phenotypic correlations were used as a base for the Stepwise Regression Procedure, Backward Elimination Procedure and Path Coefficient Analysis in S1 and half-sib progenies derived from the two synthetic populations of maize (ZP Syn 99/9 and ZP Syn 101/9). The results obtained indicate that grain yield in both S1 and half-sib progenies was to the greatest extent determined by plant height, 1000-kernel weight along with either the number of kernels per row or the number of kernel rows per ear. Among the observed yield components the most marked, positive, direct effect on grain yield was detected in 1000-kernel weight. Among the studied vegetative traits it was plant height. These traits should form the base for indirect visual selection for increased grain yield.

A two-year experiment was set up at the experimental field of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops al Rimski Šančevi, on a chernozem soil, in order to study the variability and heritability of yield and yield components of cabbage. The system of random blocks in three replicate was used to study twelve divergent cabbage genotypes. The wide sense heritability was lowest for head mass and yield (65%) and highest for head height (97%). Since the low values for head mass indicate that these characteristics are complex, selection for these characteristics must be done simultaneously with selection for other, significantly correlated characteristics. The high heritability values for head height and core length offer the possibility for further improvement of these characteristics by breeding.
Key words: cabbage, yield components, heritability

Abstract
Pržulj N., N. MIadenov and V. Momčilović (1997): Effects of genotype by year interaction on some barley trails. - Genetika. Vol. 29. No. 2, 135-143.
The agronomic value of a genotype depends on its genetic potential and adaptability as well as on the stability of its biological and production characteristies. If a genotype is capable of producing high yields under a wide range of different production conditions, it is said to have good general adaptability, whereas those genotypes that have high yields only under particular production conditions are said to possess good specific adaptability. Using the Eberhart and Russel method, we assessed the stability of yield, 1000-grain weight, and hectoliter mass in several major spring barley genotypes developed at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad. The variability of yield and hectoliter mass depended for the most part on the year, while that of 1000-grain weight was almost equally dependent on the year and the genotype. The varieties differed significantly in their regression coefficient values and their deviation from regression. In order to fully exploit heterogeneous production conditions, we should develop spring barley varieties that will be characterized by good and stable agronomic and technological characteristics.

Lukić D., G. Šurlan-Momirović, and S. Vasiljević (1997): Seed setting and inflorescence position in various alfalfa species. - Genetika. Vol. 29, No. 2, 145-152.
Twelve genotypes belonging to three alfalfa species (Medicago sativa L., M. media Pers, M. falcala L.) were assessed for inflorescence position on the plant (basal, medium and top flowers) and seed yield components in conditions of open pollination (polycross). The basal, medium and top inflorescences produced 6.9, 8.0 and 6.1 pods per inflorescence, respectively. These differences were highly significant. The respective inflorescences rendered 2.64, 2.89 and 2.39 seeds per pod. These differences were highly significant too. The following genotypes produced the largest numbers of pods at the different inflorescence strata: S-13 (9.4), S-ll (8.1), and S-15 (7.7) among the blue-flowered alfalfas, H-24 (7.6) among the hybrid alfalfas, and F-32 (4.7) among the yellow-flowered alfalfas. The two-year average number of pods and seeds per pod were 7.9 and 2.93, respectively, in the blue-flowered alfalfa genotypes, 7.2 and 2.66, respectively, in the hybrid alfalfa genotypes, and 4.5 and 1.87, respectively, in the yellow-flowered alfalfa genotypes.
