EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION INVOLVED IN FLOWER
MORPHOGENESIS. Duca Maria, Levitchi Alexei, Martea Rodica. // Buletinul Academiei de

A study based on microarray profi les of the gene expression involved in fl ower morphogenesis
in plants allowed the identifi cation and analysis of direct/indirect control targets of the processes
implicated in fl ower formation. There were identifi ed 44 candidate genes which modify their
expression under the control of ABC system of fl ower development. All of them participate in
six different processes of fl ower morphogenesis. Of them, eight genes are of the highest interest
for further investigations of their functions in fl ower morphogenesis.

ANTAGONISTIC BEHAVIOUR AND DYNAMICS OF AGGRESSIVENESS IN
MUS SPICILEGUS PETENYI 1882 (RODENTIA, MURIDAE). Larion Alina, Munteanu

Antagonistic behavior and dynamics of aggressiveness in Mus spicilegus species was
studied. In ethological experiments, 189 individuals were used, 373 pair interactions between
individuals from different mounds and 322 – between individuals from the same mound were
performed. Antagonistic behavior is particularly characteristic of the individuals from different
mounds.
The highest number of attacks was registered between the individuals with strong CNS
type and medium CNS type. The dynamics of aggressiveness in M. spicilegus depending on
season is of high importance for individual adaptation during their vital cycle. In spring, the
aggressiveness level between males and females is low. In summer, this level decreases – the
olfactory contacts were more frequent. In autumn, during mound building, the aggressiveness is
low between unfamiliar individuals from different mounds and is very weak between familiar
individuals from the same mound. The level of aggressiveness increases signifi cantly after
fi nishing the mound building, because a well differentiated hierarchic system has been already
formed in one mound.
