We present the complete nucleotide sequences of two leghemoglobin genes isolated from soybean DNA. Both genes contain three intervening sequences which interrupt the two coding sequences in identical positions. The 5' and 3' flanking sequences in both genes contain conserved sequences similar to those found in corresponding positions in other eukaryotic genes. Thus, the general DNA sequence organization of these plant genes is similar to that of other eukaryotic genes.

We present the complete nucleotide sequences of two leghemoglobin genes isolated from soybean DNA. Both genes contain three intervening sequences in identical positions. Comparison of the coding sequences with known amino-acid sequences of soybean leghemoglobins suggest that the two genes correspond to leghemoglobin C2 and leghemoglobin C3, respectively.

Ionization in collisions between antiprotons and atomic hydrogen is perhaps the least complicated and most fundamental process that can be treated by atomic-collision theory. We present measurements of the ionization cross section for 30--1000 keV antiprotons colliding with atomic hydrogen.

Measurements of the single (sigma(i)(+)) and the ratio of double to single (R-2) ionization cross sections for positron impact on neon, krypton and xenon are presented from near threshold to 1000 eV. By multiplying the R-2 values of each target by the appropriate sigma(i)(+), new data for the corresponding double (sigma(i)(2+)) ionization cross sections have also been obtained. The ratio between positron and electron sigma(i)(+) maxima is generally seen to be lower for higher target atomic number, as expected from the static interaction between the projectile and undistorted target. Comparison with available data suggests that Ps formation accompanied by the production of singly or doubly charged ions is a significant channel in positron-atom scattering.
