MODE OF ATTACHMENT,HAUSTORIUM STRUCTURE,AND HOSTS OF PEDICULARIS CANADENSIS

Piehl, Martin A. (Botanic Garden, Santa Barbara, Calif.) Mode of attachment, haustorium structure, and hosts of Pedicularis canadensis. Amer. Jour. Bot. 50(10): 978–985. Illus. 1963.—Although long known for European members of the genus, parasitism is documented for the first time for the North American Pedicularis canadensis (Scrophulariaceae) from observations made in the field. Every stand examined showed evidence for parasitism, the haustorial connections being established in the seedling stage. The haustoria, which vary somewhat morphologically, produce direct connection between the xylem of the host and that of the parasite. The great diversity of hosts, involving 80 species from 35 families, suggests that connections may be made to essentially any vascular plant with subterranean parts in proximity to those of the parasite, although some species are parasitized much more frequently than others. In addition, haustorial attachments were found to dead parts of vascular plants and, in single instances, to a fungus and small pebbles. Intraspecific parasitism has also been observed.     

A THEORY OF THE MECHANISM OF DISINFECTION,HEMOLYSIS, AND SIMILAR PROCESSES

1. The course of such processes as hemolysis is very largely dependent upon variations in resistance among the different individuals, and secondarily upon the course of the fundamental reaction. 2. The fundamental reaction may be either a simple process, or the expression of a complex series of changes whose rate is at all times governed by that of the slowest of the series. This might perhaps be regarded as another expression of the so called "Law of the minimum." 3. Unnatural assumptions would be requisite for the explanation of a resemblance between the course of such processes in general and that of a monomolecular reaction. 4. The supposition that such a general resemblance exists is not supported by the available evidence. 5. The independent determination of either the nature of the fundamental reaction, or the type of the variation curve for the particular case under observation, will further our knowledge of the nature of such processes and lead to a far deeper insight into the nature and reactions of living matter.     

A STUDY OF THE CIRCULATION,BLOOD PRESSURE,AND RESPIRATION OF SHARKS

The average branchial blood pressure in sand sharks was 32 mm. of mercury. The highest recorded in a resting animal was 43 mm. The average dorsal or systemic pressure was 23.3 mm.; highest 30 mm. The ratio of branchial to systemic pressure is about 3 to 2. The pressure in both systems keeps up well under trauma; but under experimental conditions, with or without manipulation of viscera, slowly falls after several hours. It rises with muscular effort, and a long rise usually follows stoppage of struggling. It rises when sodium carbonate is injected. The adrenalin curve resembles that in a mammal. Spontaneous rises and falls not attributable to the heart occur. Light in some animals increases blood pressure. It is suspected that these fishes have a vasomotor apparatus. The heart rate except after trauma is practically always the same as the respiration rate, and there is some reason for believing that the heart rate is determined by the respiration rate. When not in step with respiration, the heart is slower and often in a simple ratio with respiration. The heart is inhibited by all sorts of stimuli applied practically anywhere (except to the liver?). This effect is abolished by atropin. Respiration is faster in small animals and averages 24 per minute. Respiration slowly decreases in strength with little change in rate. Usually respiration ceases long before the heart stops.     

IMMORTALITY, HUMAN NATURE, THE VALUE OF LIFE AND THE VALUE OF LIFE EXTENSION

The emerging discourse concerning the desirability of intervention in senescence to achieve radical life extension for persons has featured some striking blurring in traditional liberal and conservative commitments and positions. This affords an opportunity for re‐evaluation of these same. The canonical conservative view of the intrinsic value of life is re‐examined and found primarily to involve a denial of human prerogative, rather than an active underwriting of the value of life extension. A critique is offered of an attempted argument against aging intervention from a proto‐conservative worry about a purported threat to human nature. Immortality is found to be a red herring, but a revealing one. Further, the classic liberal view is examined and found wanting in terms of the gravity of its own commitment to, and fullness of its account of the value of life, and the value of life extension. An analysis of the liberal conception of personhood is proposed that both defines persons necessarily as processes, and demonstrates the inalienable quality of the value of life extension to persons so defined.     

MORPHOLOGY,FINE STRUCTURE,AND ONTOGENY OF THE STINGING EMERGENCE OF URTICA DIOICA

Stinging emergences in Urtica dioica L. characteristically possess an elongate stinging cell and a multicellular pedestal. The emergence is derived from the epidermal and subepidermal cell layers. The apical wall of the stinging cell is composed of silica bodies which decrease basipetally in concentration. The basal portion of the cell wall of the stinging cell is devoid of silica bodies and lacks primary pit fields or pits between it and the pedestal cells. X-ray microanalysis of electron dense particles located in the stinging cell ER-golgi complex indicate that these particles contain silicon. There is no ultrastructural evidence for the presence of a toxin synthesizing system or a toxin itself.     

INFLUENCE OF GLUCAGON, AN INDUCER OF CELLULAR AUTOPHAGY, ON SOME PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF RAT LIVER LYSOSOMES

The response of rat liver lysosomes to an intraperitoneal injection of glucagon has been evaluated from studies on the mechanical fragility, osmotic sensitivity, and sedimentation properties of these subcellular particles. It has been found that about ½ hr after the injection of glucagon the hepatic lysosomes exhibit a fairly sudden increase in their sensitivity to mechanical stresses and to exposure to a decreased osmotic pressure. At the same time, their sedimentation properties undergo complex changes characterized mainly by a significant increase in the sedimentation coefficient of a considerable proportion of the total particles. In addition, glucagon causes an increase in the proportion of slowly sedimenting particles, with the result that the distribution of sedimentation coefficients within the total population tends to become bimodal. The latter change is more pronounced for acid phosphatase, less so for cathepsin D, and barely detectable for acid deoxyribonuclease. All these modifications are maximal between 45 and 90 min after injection and regress to normal within approximately 4 hr. With the exception of the increase in the slow component, for which no explanation can be advanced at the present time, they are consistent with the hypothesis that glucagon causes an increase in lysosomal size, and may be related to the autophagic-vacuole formation known to occur after glucagon administration.     

华南贵州罗旬纳水剖面宾夕法尼亚亚系各阶之界线

贵州罗甸纳水剖面是研究宾夕法尼亚亚系牙形刺和各阶界线的良好剖面.经详细研究,从石炭系中间界线至石炭-二叠系界线,一个新的牙形刺序列为Gnathodus bilineatus bollandensis(密西西比亚系顶部),Declinog-nathodus noduliferus, Idiognathoides sulcatus sulcatus, Id. sinuatus, Id. corrugatus-Id. pacificus, Neognatho-dus symmetricus, Idiognathodus primulus-Neognathodus symmetricus, Idiognathodus primulus-Neognathodus bassleri, Idiognathoides sulcatus parva, Streptognathodus expansus, Idiognathoides ouachitensis, Diplognatho-dus coloradoensis, Di. ellesmerensis, Gondolella donbassica-Go, clarki, Idiognathodus podolskensis, Swadelina subexcelsa, Sw. makhlina-Sw, nodocarinata, Idiognathodus sagittalis, Streptognathodus cancellosus, St. graci-lis, St. guizhouensis, Idiognathodus simulator, I. nashuiensis, Streptognathodus firmus, St. tenuialveus, St. wabaunsensis和St. isolatus(二叠系)等带.Declinognathodus noduliferus和Streptognathodus isolatus的首次现分别代表宾夕法尼亚亚系和二叠系之底;Diplognathodus ellesmerensis, Idiognathodus sagittalis和J. simula-tor的首现则可分别代表莫斯科阶(Moscovian),卡西莫夫阶(Kasimovian)和格舍尔阶(Gzhelian)之底界.作者较为详细讨论了巴什基尔阶与莫斯科阶以及卡西莫夫阶与格舍尔阶之界线,并认为以Diplognathodus ellesmerensis的首现作为巴什基尔阶(Bashkirian)与莫斯科阶之界线足目前最合适的标志.Diplognathodus ellesmerensis是一易于识别、分布广泛及层位稳定的牙形刺种,其产出又十分接近巴什基尔阶与莫斯科阶的传统界线,因此是划分此界线的良好标志.作者拟推荐纳水剖面为莫斯科阶底界之候选层型剖面,这一界线详细的工作正在大量采样分析和深入研究中,成果将在以后陆续发表.     

红树植物木榄(Bruguiera gymnorrhiza)种群的交配系统

利用等位酶多态位点作遗传标记,采用水平切片淀粉凝胶电泳技术检测了我国福建浮宫（24°24′）、广东深圳福田（22°32′）、广西山口合浦（21°28′）和海南东寨港（19°51′）4个红树植物分布区内木榄种群的基因型,进而利用多位点异交率估测程序（MLT）估测其交配系统。所用多态酶位点在浮宫、广西、海南均为Mdh-1、Mdh-2、Me-1,在深圳为Mdh-1、Mdh-2、Aat-1、Aat-2。结果表明各种群多态位点异交率之间有很大差别,浮宫种群最大,为0.845;海南种群最小,为0.267。多位点异交率与单位点异交率平均值的差值显示出除广西种群为随机交配外,其余3个种群都存在轻度的双亲近交。因此,木榄属于混合交配类型,以杂交为主。这主要受植物种群密度、结构,传粉者适应性和活动能力以及是否自交亲和等因素的影响。     

GENETIC DIFFERENTIATION,SYMPATRIC SPECIATION,AND THE ORIGIN OF A DIPLOID SPECIES OF STEPHANOMERIA

Evidence is presented that a geographically peripheral population of the annual Stephanomcria exigua ssp. coronaria (Compositae), a widespread and ecologically diverse species, has recently given rise by a process of sympatric speciation to a diploid species presently designated “Malheurensis.” The new species comprises less than 250 individuals and is found only at a single locality in eastern Oregon where it grows interspersed with its parental population. Stephanomeria exigua ssp. coronaria is an obligate outcrosser and “Malheurensis” is highly self-pollinating. Reproductive isolation is maintained by differences in breeding system, a crossability barrier that reduces seed set following cross-pollination between them, and reduction in hybrid fertility caused by chromosomal structural differences. They are very similar morphologically. Electrophoretic analyses of seven enzyme systems demonstrate that all the alleles but one at the controlling 13 gene loci in “Malheurensis” are identical to alleles in ssp. coronaria. The new species displays certain maladapted features including loss of the specific requirements for seed germination characteristic of the progenitor population of ssp. coronaria. The origin of “Malheurensis” appears to be an exception to the theory of geographical speciation because spatial isolation is not necessary at any time for the origin or establishment of its reproductive isolating barriers. The nature of these barriers plus the genetic homogeneity of the species are compatible with the hypothesis that it derives from a single progenitor individual. Very little genetic change is involved initially in this mode of speciation.
