THE DEPENDENCE OF CELL DIVISION IN CHLORELLA ON TEMPERATURE AND LIGHT INTENSITY

The effects of temperature and light on cell division were studied in synchronized suspensions of the high-temperature strain Chlorella 7–11–05. It was found that the time for incipient cell division, the progress in the process after it started, and the number of cells produced are influenced by temperature and light intensity. Within limits, cell division is generally favored by the increase in temperature. The increase in light intensity first favors cell division then, after the optimal light intensity is attained, a further increase in light intensity inhibits cell division. Observations are discussed in connection with the findings of other investigators. The limitations of cell division by temperature and light intensity are considered to be separate from the effects of these factors on growth.     

NaHSO3-Na2SO3混合液对大麦幼苗生长和细胞分裂的影响

 研究SO2在生物体内的衍生物——亚硫酸氢钠和亚硫酸钠混合液（1：3, mol·L-1）(以下简称亚硫酸氢钠)对大麦(Hordeum vulgare)幼苗生长发育和根尖细胞分裂的效应。幼苗生长发育依赖于亚硫酸氢钠的浓度和接触时间,在一定浓度范围内,大麦幼苗的高度和根系发育与处理时间之间具有正的线性相关;幼苗高度、根长、根系体积和干重与处理浓度之间具有负的线性相关。高浓度亚硫酸氢钠短时间处理或低浓度长时间处理,能导致根尖细胞有丝分裂指数下降,并使根尖中具有微核的细胞明显增多,部分细胞核发生固缩。在0.1～5.     

THE EFFECT OF 5-BROMODEOXYURIDINE ON DNA REPLICATION AND CELL DIVISION IN TETRAHYMENA PYRIFORMIS

Populations of Tetrahymena pyriformis were grown in a chemically defined medium containing the thymidine analogue 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR). About 65% of the thymidine sites in DNA were substituted by BUdR. During the first generation in the presence of BUdR, all DNA became hybrid. After the following cell division, in about 80% of the cells the second DNA replication round was initiated but no further cell division took place. The cells could be rescued by removing BUdR and adding thymidine. New replication took place before the first cell division. However, although the cells contained double heavy as well as hybrid DNA, only the hybrid DNA was replicated. After a full replication of the hybrid DNA, normal growth was restored. Melting profiles of normal, hybrid, and double heavy DNA indicated a structural change of the double heavy DNA.     

THE EFFECT OF AUXIN AND GUANINE ON CELL EXPANSION AND CELL DIVISION IN THE GAMETOPHYTE OF THE FERN,ONOCLEA SENSIBILIS

Miller , J. H. (Yale U., New Haven, Conn.) The effect of auxin and guanine on cell expansion and cell division in the gametophyte of the fern, Onoclea sensibilis. Amer. Jour. Bot. 48(9): 816–819. Illus. 1961.—Auxin and guanine promote cell expansion in 0. sensibilis gametophytes. The optimum concentration of auxin for total expansion is 10^−-5 M, but the optimum for elongation is 10^−-6 M. Above this concentration the cells expanded isodiametrically. Guanine is active at higher concentrations than auxin. Increasing concentrations of auxin progressively inhibit red light-induced cell division, while guanine has no effect on cell division. Neither kinetin nor adenine promotes cell expansion or cell division.

EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE AND ILLUMINANCE ON CELL DIVISION RATES OF THREE SPECIES OF TROPICAL OCEANIC PHYTOPLANKTON1

Three species of tropical oceanic phytoplankton were isolated from two locations in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Unialgal cultures were maintained in an enriched seawater medium. The effects of temperature, and, in separate experiments, illuminance, on the exponential cell division rates of those algae were investigated. For 2 isolates of Gymnodinium sp. (probably G. simplex), maximum growth rates were 1.25 and 1.7 divisions/24 hr, the optimum temperature range was 23–29 C, the compensation illuminance was 35 ft-c, and the saturation illuminance was 750 ft-c and above. For a small species of Chaetoceros, the maximum growth rate was 6.0 divisions/24 hr, the optimum temperature range was 23–37 C, the compensation illuminance was 10 ft-c, and the saturation illuminance was 600 ft-c. For a small Nannochloris species, the maximum growth rate was 4.5 divisions/ 24 hr, the optimum temperature range was 27–37 C, and the saturation illuminance was 800 ft-c. Nannochloris grew heterotrophically by apparently utilizing organic matter supplied by soil extract.     

X射线对根尖细胞分裂和分化的作用

用30—70GyX射线照射小麦幼苗(浸种后5天)后发现根毛区到根尖的距离缩短,根毛变密,根毛长度为对照的2—3倍。照射后2—3天就可看到该现象。根毛着生处到根尖的距离随剂量增加而减少,甚至根尖全为根毛所复盖,另外还看到有分叉的根毛。根尖纵切片表明根尖分生区随剂量增加而缩小,分生区后接着就出现输导组织。玉米和黄瓜也有类似现象。这现象说明根细胞的分裂过程对射线很敏感,而分化过程则相当耐辐射,细胞分裂停止后立即转向细胞分化过程。
