Measurement of Temperature and Humidity in Tobacco Plots in Rhodesia

Small nickel resistance thermometers were tested in variousanti-radiation screens over bare sandy soil in Southern Rhodesia.Satisfactory results were obtained only when the thermometerswere aspirated in small chromed metal shields, based on thedesign of the Mark 3 Assmann psychrometer. The aspirated unitswere compared with an Assmann, at various heights within tobaccoplots during a range of whether conditions, and grave satisfactoryresults when used for continuous periods of several months.Some results are presented illustrating the vertical distributionof temperature and humidity within tobacco plots at differentstages of growth. When plants were small, temperature and humiditygradients appeared to be similar to those that might be expectedover open ground. Later the pattern resembled that of a cropof medium ground cover and density.     

高温对烟叶品质的影响

研究了下列条件下烟叶的成熟和品质的变化.在烟草移栽后第90d进行7d人工高温处理(白天温度为35℃,晚上温度为29℃,光照强度为3×104lx,相对湿度为75%),同期对照的自然条件是3d阴天,日均温为19.7～23.9℃;4d晴天,日均温为25.9～30.8℃,日最强光照强度均在1×1051x以上.结果表明,人工高温处理后,烟叶叶色比对照更绿,成熟期推迟5～7d,没有出现整株烟叶快速变黄的高温逼熟现象.对烟叶的细胞结构和化学成分分析,也没有出现高温逼熟引起品质变差的变化.因此认为湘南烟区高温逼熟导致烟叶品质下降的原因除高温以外,还与强光辐射、火南风等因素所造成的危害有关.     

不同磷营养水平对烟草叶片光合作用和光呼吸的影响(英文)

研究了不同磷营养水平(0,1/4,1/2,1,2 P)对烟草(Nicotiana rustica L.)叶片光合、光呼吸、乙醇酸合成和乙醇酸氧化酶活性的影响,结果如下; 光合强度在0～1P范围内随磷水平的提高而增高,但在2P水平中略为下降。光呼吸强度在1/4～2P范围内与光合强度有相同的变化趋势,但在磷水平为零时最高;光呼吸/光合比值亦在磷水平为零时最高,并随磷营养的增加而下降。 HPMS抑制乙醇酸氧化酶活性,乙醇酸的积累量随磷水平的变化与光呼吸有一致的趋势。 在加入FMN时,不同磷营养水平的烟草叶片中乙醇酸氧化酶的活性随磷水平的提高而下降;加入FMN对酶活性的促进作用亦随磷水平的提高而下降。 叶片无机磷、有机磷及总磷含量均随磷营养水平的提高而增加。 用不同浓度的磷酸盐溶液真空渗入在1P培养的烟草叶圆片,并在0.25,0.5,10mmol/LNaHCO_3溶液中测定光合和光呼吸,结果表明在0.25和 0.5mmol/L NaHCO_3中,光呼吸随磷浓度的增加而下降;在 10mmol/L中光呼吸完全受抑制。光合作用与磷浓度关系呈单峰曲线,随着NaHCO_3浓度的提高,其高峰位置向右移,即光合最适磷浓度增大。 根据试验结果及从化学计量学推算,认为磷营养有抑制光呼吸的作用,而光呼吸的运转则有补充叶绿体内进行光合作用所需的无机磷的功能。     

高温对杂交水稻籽粒灌浆和剑叶某些生理特性的影响

以杂交籼稻特优559为材料,探讨了高温胁迫对水稻灌浆期剑叶中有关生理特性和籽粒灌浆速率的影响.结果表明:高温胁迫加速了剑叶叶绿素的丧失,使SOD活性明显降低,质膜透性和MDA含量明显增加,脯氨酸、AsA、GSH、可溶性蛋白质以及可溶性糖含量明显降低,籽粒灌浆速率和籽粒重下降.高温使灌浆期水稻叶片衰老加速、光合能力下降是其导致灌浆速率、结实率、粒重和籽粒产量降低的主要生理原因.     

Some Effects of Temperature and Irradiance on Growth of the First Four Leaves of Wheat, Triticum aestivum

Plants of Heron wheat were grown at 20 and 15 °C and inquantum flux densities of 400 and 200 µmol m^–2 s^–1.At completion of expansion of the first or second leaf, plantswere transferred between temperatures and quantum flux densities.Final size and cell number were measured for each of the firstfour main-stem leaves. Leaf area was affected only slightlyby treatment and effects on leaf length and width were alsosmall. It was concluded that leaf extension rate, which waslower at the lower temperature and in the lower light regime,is inversely related to the duration of leaf expansion. Leafdry wt was higher for plants grown in high light and for plantsgrown at 15 °C; transfer treatments led to readjustmentswhereby dry wts of leaves expanded after transfer resembledthose of leaves on plants kept throughout in the post-transferconditions. Leaf cell number was not affected by treatment but mean drywt per cell was significantly greater in high light, and forthe first two leaves, at 15 °C. There was a major and highlysignificant effect of treatment on the ratio of dry: fresh wtper cell, this being larger for leaves in high light. Transfertreatments between light regimes led to rapid changes in expandingleaves as was found for leaf dry wt. It was concluded that theexpanding grass leaf is much less dependent on older leavesto provide the necessary materials for cell division and expansionthan is the dicotyledon leaf. It is suggested that the increasein cell dry wt in high light is associated with an increasein cell wall material which is under photomorphogenic control.

不同磷营养水平对烟草叶片光合作用和光呼吸的影响

随着磷营养水平的提高,烟草叶片的CO_2补偿点下降、光合速率上升。光呼吸在缺磷时最高。用光呼吸抑制剂处理烟草叶片后,光合的最适磷浓度提高。当CO_2浓度为560μl/L时,缺磷的烟草叶片在从21％O_2转入2％O_2时出现光合振荡,表明光呼吸与磷营养有密切关系。光呼吸在形成乙醇酸时所释放的磷,有回补叶绿体进行光合作用所需的磷的作用。     

温度对绿豆离体叶片光合作用的影响

绿豆离体叶片分别经25、30、35、40、45、50、55℃处理60 min后,发现净光合速率和光系统Ⅱ的最大量子效率(Fv/Fm)当温度分别高于35和40℃时明显下降;细胞间隙CO2浓度的变化趋势与净光合速率的基本相反.因此认为,Fv/Fm比净光合速率(Pn)更能耐受高温;气孔因素不是各种温度处理中净光合速率升高或降低的主要原因.     

Effects of Low Temperature on Winter Wheat and Cabbage Leaves

Contents of soluble proteins, proline and chlorophyll in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Doğu-88) and cabbage leaves (Brassica oleracea convar. acephala) during acclimation to low temperature were investigated. When both of the plants species were cold acclimated, soluble proteins, proline and chlorophyll contents were higher than in the controls (non-acclimated). Also protein patterns differed between the plants at control and cold conditions. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Field Notes on Birds of the Chambeshi and Luangwa Areas in Northern Rhodesia

As in my previous notes (Ibis, 1942, pp. 83–90), the information on distribution and breeding is supplementary to that given in Winterbottom's 'Check List of the Birds of Northern Rhodesia'. My 1941 notes in 'The Ibis' (I) dealt with a wider area, but these are restricted to the Chambeshi River area in the Northern Province and to the upper Luangwa River area in the Northern and Eastern Provinces.     

Studies on the Essential Oils of Tobacco Leaves

The basic fraction contained in the essential oil of the Japanese Flue Cured Tobacco Leaf (before redrying) was investigated and 2,3′-dipyridyl was isolated and identified. While, on the other hand, the basic fraction of the essential oil of the aged Japanese Burley Tobacco Leaf was also investigated and nicotine was found to be the predominant constituent of that fraction. At the same time, a small amount of 2,3′-dipyridyl and myosmine was also isolated and identified.     

Studies on the Essential Oils of Tobacco Leaves

An investigation was conducted on the neutral fraction in the essential oil of Virginia tobacco leaves. α-Pyrryl methyl ketone, ethyl alcohol, ethyl acetate and furfuryl alcohol were isolated and identified. An alcohol, C₄, and an ester of benzoic acid were also separated. Hydrocarbons were separated from the total neutral fraction by liquid chromatography, prior to any further procedure; and a straight chain paraffin near C₃₀ and an unsaturated hydrocarbon resembling myrcene were also isolated and their contents were determined. A technique of chromatostrip was found to be very useful for detecting liquid chromatographic separation.     

Studies on the Chemical Constituents of Tobacco Leaves

S-(?)-2-Isopropyl-5-oxohexanoic acid was isolated from the ether extract of Turkish tobacco leaves. Since 2-isopropyl-5-oxohexanoic acid obtained by ozonolysis of (+)-solanone was leavorotatory, tobacco-derived solanone has R-configuration and might be a precursor of the acid in tobacco leaves.     

Field Notes on some Birds of Mwinilunga, Northern Rhodesia

F rom August 1938 until July 1940 I was stationed at Mwinilunga in the extreme north-west corner of Northern Rhodesia. I propose in due course to give a full account of the ornithology of that area when I have worked out the systematic results of the collection which I made there. In the meantime I am taking this opportunity to record some of the field observations.

Some Effects of Temperature on the Growth of F Pili

The effect of temperature on the production of F pili by an F(+) strain of Escherichia coli B/r was studied by electron microscopy and by a technique involving serum-blocking power. The latter method is based on the ability of F pili to adsorb F pili antibody which inhibits male-specific phage infection. The total amount of pili in a sample was estimated by serum-blocking power; the length of F pili and number per cell was determined by electron microscopy. Cell extracts prepared by sonic oscillation lacked serum-blocking power, suggesting that F pili are not present in the cytoplasm. The number of F pili per cell varied with the growth temperature, but the average length of F pili remained constant. Maximum number of pili per cell occurs between 37 and 42 C; below 37 C the number decreases, reaching zero at about 25 C. When cells are grown at 37 C, blended, and resuspended in fresh media at 25 C, they make F pili. These pili are probably assembled from a pool of subunits that were synthesized during growth at 37 C. The rates of assembly at 25 and 37 C, as judged by the rate of increase in length of F pili, are similar. When cells were grown at 25 C and shifted up to 37 C, there was a 30-min lag in pili production followed by a period of rapid outgrowth. When cells were shifted down from 37 to 20 C, outgrowth (assembly) of pili ceased, and approximately 50% of the attached pili were released in 2 min. No release was observed when cells were shifted to 0 C. This suggests that pili may be released from the cell by a mechanism that requires metabolic activity, but not the outgrowth of F pili.     

毛头鬼伞多糖对烟草酶活性和同工酶谱的影响

分析了毛头鬼伞(Coprinus comatus)真菌多糖诱导烟草对烟草花叶病毒(TMV)抗性过氧化物酶(POD)、多酚氧化酶(PPO)、苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、几丁质酶、-β1,3-葡聚糖酶活性的变化。结果表明,毛头鬼伞多糖可提高POD、PPO、PAL、几丁质酶和-β1,3-葡聚糖酶的活性,接种TMV后毛头鬼伞多糖处理的烟草酶活性显著高于不处理者。上述结果提示,毛头鬼伞多糖处理后烟草酶活性的增强可能与其诱导烟草获得抗性有关。
