Eight soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe, cultures were developed by their continuous selection on soybean lines with various level of resistance. Each soybean line was inoculated with eggs and larvae of the eight cultures. Female development was much higher on 'Essex' and 'Forrest' than the other lines. The development of nematode cultures selected on Essex and Forrest was low on the other six soybean lines compared with the lines on which they were selected. PI 89772 and PI 90763 had a high level of resistance to the culture selected on PI 88788, whereas cultures selected on PI 89772 and PI 90763 reproduced very little on PI 88788 and PI 209352. Cultures selected on PI 87631-1, PI 209332, and 'Cloud' gave response similar to that of PI 88788. The use of various sources for resistant variety development program is discussed.

Ribosomal subunits prepared by zonal centrifugation of 80 S ribosomes from 1-day-old soybean cotyledons were active in in vitro polyphenylalanine synthesis. 40 S and 60 S subunits contained 32 and 43 ribosomal proteins respectively, when analyzed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A cyclic AMP (cAMP) independent protein kinase associated with ribosomes was isolated from the ribosomal salt wash fraction and was found to be similar in chromatographic properties and substrate requirements to cAMP independent casein kinase II present in post-ribosomal supernatant.
