Effects of Water Stress and Abscisic Acid on Transpiration Regulation in Wheat

The transpiration response to recurrent light periods was studied'n water-stressed wheat seedlings. Seedlings were stressed by three methods: addition of mannitol to the root medium, root cooling and drving of the roots in air. All three methods induced almost equal effects on transpiration regulation during alternating dark and light intervals. Exogenous abscisic acid supplied to the shoots of excised plants had qualitatively the same effect as water stress. Water stress and ABA increased the time lapse between light-on and the onset of transpiration increase and lowered the amplitude of transpiration increase in light. Weak light introduced before strong light shortened the delay times.

Palaeoenvironmental aspects of Late Ordovician Sericoidea shell concentrations in an impact crater,Tvären,Sweden

Frisk, Å.M. & Harper, D.A.T. 2010: Palaeoenvironmental aspects of Late Ordovician Sericoidea shell concentrations in an impact crater, Tvären, Sweden. Lethaia, Vol. 44, pp. 383–396. Numerous studies have reported the presence of the small, thin‐shelled cosmopolitan rhynchonelliformean Sericoidea as being environmentally controlled and, together with its close relatives, characteristic of deep‐water, distal, clastic Ordovician and Silurian settings. Assemblages of Sericoidea have been analysed from post‐impact strata in a newly formed Late Ordovician impact crater. In the crater succession, colonization of benthic faunas can be monitored through the post‐impact limestone, demonstrating a number of environmental preferences. Consequently, the crater, as a result of its restricted area, provides an experimental arena for faunal distributions to be correlated with specific environments. The continuous infilling of the crater following its formation reveals a transition from argillaceous mudstones to carbonates deposited in deeper‐water environments to shallower regimes. Rhynchonelliformean brachiopods inhabited the crater depression very late after the impact and are entirely represented by the genus Sericoidea, occurring abundantly in the upper third of the existing crater infill. The deep‐water regime that existed in the depression during the initial interval of crater formation had been substantially reduced. Clearly Sericoidea‐bearing associations associated with shaly substrates did not merely favour and occupy deep‐water environments as previously suggested. The unfavourable conditions triggered by the impact and the inhospitable aftermath allowed Sericoidea to exploit a less‐crowded ecospace. This reorganization, following the catastrophe, from a deep‐water related ecological niche to considerable shallower settings suggests that Sericoidea was a pioneer colonist displaying an opportunist r‐strategy. The shell beds analysed are related to shallower water and this may, moreover, help unravel the dilemma of the general absence of Sericoidea in the deeper‐water Foliomena fauna. □Dalby Limestone, impact crater, Late Ordovician, opportunists, Sericoidea, Tvären.

Heavy drinking relates to positive valence ratings of alcohol cues

A positive family history of alcohol use disorders (FH) is a robust predictor of personal alcohol abuse and dependence. Exposure to problem-drinking models is one mechanism through which family history influences alcohol-related cognitions and drinking patterns. Similarly, exposure to alcohol advertisements is associated with alcohol involvement and the relationship between affective response to alcohol cues and drinking behavior has not been well established. In addition, the collective contribution that FH, exposure to different types of problem-drinking models (e.g. parents, peers) and personal alcohol use have on appraisal of alcohol-related stimuli has not been evaluated with a large sample. We investigated the independent effects of FH, exposure to problem-drinking models and personal alcohol use on valence ratings of alcohol pictures in a college sample. College students (n = 227) completed measures of personal drinking and substance use, exposure to problem-drinking models, FH and ratings on affective valence of 60 alcohol pictures. Greater exposure to non-familial problem-drinkers predicted greater drinking among college students (beta = 0.17, P < 0.01). However, personal drinking was the only predictor of valence ratings of alcohol pictures (beta = -0.53, P < 0.001). Personal drinking level predicted valence ratings of alcohol cues over and above FH, exposure to problem-drinking models and demographic characteristics. This suggests that positive affective responses to alcohol pictures are more a function of personal experience (i.e. repeated heavy alcohol use) than vicarious learning.

A new type of prosome-like particle, composed of small cytoplasmic RNA and multimers of a 21-kDa protein, inhibits protein synthesis in vitro

A large fraction of the translationally repressed non-globin messenger RNA in duck erythroblasts is present in non-polyribosomal free mRNP structures which sediment in the 30-40-S range ('35 S'). In 0.5 M KCl, they form core complexes which show a pronounced peak at about 32 S containing mRNA and a discrete spherical RNP particle with a diameter of about 12 nm and the typical morphology of a prosome [H.-P. Schmid et al. (1984) EMBO J. 3, 29-34]. Buoyant density measurements and chromatography on oligo(dT)-cellulose indicate that this particle is bound to mRNA; it can be released from the mRNA by treatment of the free mRNP fraction with SDS. This prosome-like particle inhibits the translation of mRNA in vitro. It is composed primarily of multimers of a single 21-kDa protein and at least one species of RNA of about 80-100 nucleotides. It is resistant to dissociation by 2 M CS2SO4 and 1% SDS; the 21-kDa protein is not attacked by proteinase K unless the particle is extracted with phenol prior to treatment with the protease. The small RNA moiety of the particle hybridizes to the poly(A)-rich mRNA derived from the free mRNPs, as well as to polyribosomal mRNA. These data indicate that prosomes may serve to regulate mRNA translation; they show furthermore that prosome-like particles (about 600 kDa mass) may be built of up to 25 molecules of a single specific protein, rather than of the entire set of about 20 prosomal proteins previously identified.
