Osservazioni sul rapporto fra accumulo protoplasmatico del fluorocromo uranina e intensità respiratoria in Oscillatoria irrigua Kütz

Abstract

OBSERVATIONS ON THE RELATION BETWEEN PROTOPLASMIC ACCUMULATION OF THE FLUOROCHROME URANIN AND RESPIRATORY INTENSITY IN OSCILLATORIA IRRIGUA Kütz. — Uranin (sodic fluorescein) is a vital dye of peculiar cytophysiological interest, since it is accumulated chiefly in the nucleus, cytoplasm and chondriosomes of living plants cell. The degree of accumulation of this dye is in evident relation with the cellular activity.

In the present paper the relation between respiration and secundary fluorescence induced by uranin in the cells of Oscillatoria irrigua is demonstrated. The A. has also observed that a reduction of the respiratory activity of so coloured cells through inhibitory substances as f. i. oxyquinoline results in a releasing of uranin from the cell. In this case the dye is no more detained in the cells and flows outwards.

The true nature of the accumulation of uranin and its relations with the cellular activity are not yet clear, but its value as research mean to appreciate the cellular activity of organisms is emphasized.

Sul meccanismo di azione antimitotica della colchicina

Abstract

ON THE MECHANISM OF ACTION OF COLCHICINE ON MITOSIS. — The effect of colchicine on glutathione has been studied in order to explain its effect on mitosis. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that colchicine or its derivatives (colcemide) exert their antimitotic action by reversible oxidation of thiolic proteins present in the cell. This hypothesis could also explain the lack of antimitotic action of thiocol-chisode.

Relazioni ormonali nello sviluppo dell'ovario delle orchidee i. effetto in vivo del trattamento con auxine

Abstract

HORMONAL RELATIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORCHID OVARY. I. - THE EFFECTS OF TREATMENTS WITH AUXINS ON THE INTACT PLANT. — The flowers of different species of Orchids have been treated with auxins, pure or in solutions, and with pollen from the same or a different species. The auxin treatment consistently induces the elongation of the column and the growth of the ovary. The treatment with the most active of the auxins used (pure NAA) induces necrosis of the column; in this case, growth of the ovary can last for more than one year, till ripening of the fruit. Morever, the interruption of development at any stage, is more frequent.

The stimulation of the ovary can be obtained also with the introduction of auxin into wounds at the basis of the column. In Zygopetalum NAA induces parthenocarpy but not adventive embriony which is induced with exogenous pollen.

Ricerche sull'infrastruttura del coleottile di avena: I. — Il fascio vascolare in corso di differenziazione

Abstract

STUDIES ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE OAT COLEOPTILE. I. - THE DEVELOPING XYLEM CELLS. — The writers are engaged with a research program dealing with the morphological changes effected in the cell infrastructure by growth substances. The problem, obviously, requires an intimate knowledge of cell infrastructure of all different tissues of the test used, the oat coleoptile in this case. With this first note, cell infrastructures of the xylem region of the bundle (parenchyma and tracheids) are described, limitedly to the portion 1 mm behind the coleoptile tip, where cell divisions are completely suppressed while cell elongation and differentiation are set on.
