The influence of auxin, cacodylic Acid, and amitrole on the abscission of petiole explants

The influence of indoleacetic acid, cacodylic acid (hydroxy-dimethylarsine oxide), and amitrole (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole) on the petiole explant abscission rate was studied in three species. Indoleacetic acid increased the abscission rate in both bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. Red Kidney) and Coleus (Coleus blumei Benth) at 10⁻³ and 10⁻⁴m but had no effect on abscission in privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium). Cacodylic acid was found to stimulate abscission in explants of beans and privet, but not in Coleus. Amitrole did not stimulate abscission under any circumstance tested. In no case was the abscission rate dependent on the time at which any of the chemicals was applied. These data do not support the two-phase response of explants to applied auxin.     

马铃薯二次生长原因的初步观察

马铃薯二次生长所产生的次生块茎、子薯、畸型薯和发芽薯,不仅影响食用品质,而且也降低商品价值(见图1)。这种现象在世界各地都有发生,因此国外早就做过这方面的研究,特别是日本,在1945年以后     

Isolation and characterization of peanut spherosomes

Spherosomes of cotyledons of germinating peanuts (Arachis hypogea L.) were examined by electron microscopy and found to be particles about 1.0 to 2.0 μ in diameter bounded by a limiting membrane. Isolated spherosomes appear similar to spherosomes in situ. The isolated spherosomes are composed of 98.1% total lipids, 0.77% phospholipid and 1.27% protein by dry weight. The amounts of protein and phospholipid associated with the isolated spherosomes are sufficient to account for limiting membranes. Spherosomes amply account for the lipid in a peanut cotyledon. The activity of lipase and fatty acyl-Coenzyme A synthetase is not associated with the isolated spherosomes. This suggests that peanut spherosomes are principal sites of lipid storage but not of lipid degradation.     

周口店第一地点粪化石的初步观察

从1964年起,我们整理了周口店北京猿人化石产地(周口店第一地点)的粪化石,以及我国其他化石地点,如广西柳城巨猿洞里的一些同类材料。在整理工作中,清理出周口店遗址现有的粪化石,除破碎的外,约有1500枚左右。在遗址目前发掘到达的40米厚的堆积物剖面中,它们和其他化石一起,占据了从底部到上部的好几个层位,如第10层,第8—9层,第6层等。这些标本,有时密集成层,也有的是较零星的分布的。     

新疆奥陶世笔石

新疆的笔石,过去发现的不多。仅在新疆东部兴地以南的却尔却克山脉发现过少许中奥陶世的笔石。这些笔石经布尔曼描述计有下列几种:     

活性染料在显微技术上的应用

随着近代化学工业的发展,应用到显微技术上来的染料日益增多,因此染色方法也随之多样化。在实际工作中,从事于显微镜下研究工作的人,对于染色方法的要求,不外乎希望通过染色显示出来的组织细胞结构愈多愈好,愈清楚愈好,染料和染色过程中听需要的原料容易购得,染色手续简便,节省时间,易于掌握,以及染色后,色调鲜明醒目等等。但是要求某一种染色方法同时具备以上诸点,确乎难得。因此,多将各种染色方法和染料结合使用,取长补短,以期满足要求。
