Increased sensitivity of the respiratory system of plants grown in gibberellic acid toward fluoride

V souvislosti s d?ívěj?imi údaji (Lu?tinec a Krektjle 1959, Lu?tinec, Krekule a PokornÁ 1960) o silném inhibi?ním ú?inku fluoridu na dychání rostlin pěstovaných v roztoku kyseliny giberelové byl pomocí specificky zna?ené glukosy a respira?ních inhibitor? zji?tován vztah krátko- i dlouhodobého p?sobení kyseliny giberelové k poměru mezi podíly glykolytického a pentosofosfátového odbourání v respiraci list? p?enice. V souhlase s výsledky Fanga a spol. (1960) byIo zji?těno, ?e kyselina giberelová v koncentracích 2 a? 80 mg/l neovlivńuje během několikahodinového p?sobení na roz?ezané listy p?enice poměr radioaktivit¹⁴CO₂ uvolněného z glukosy-6-¹⁴C a -1-¹⁴C (C₆/C₁) ani nemění v koncentraci 10 mg/l stupeń inhibice dýchání fluoridem, monojodacetátem a malonátem a spot?ebu kyslíku. Výdej¹⁴CO₂ z glukosy-l-¹⁴C a -6-¹⁴C kyselina giberelová sni?uje v lineární závislosti na pou?itých koncentracích. U rostlin pěstovaných v roztoku kyseliny giberelové (10–20 mg/l) se rychleji sni?uje poměr C₆C₁ i absolutní hodnoty radioaktivity během několika dní od vyklí?ení, ne? u rostlin pěstovaných ve vodě. To svěd?í o rychlej?ím zvět?ování podílu pentosového cyklu v respiraci pokusných rostlin. Fluorid brzdí p?i stejném nebo men?ím obsahu ve tkáni dýchání list? rostlin pěstovaných v roztoku kyseliny giberelové silněji ne? dýchání rostlin pěstovaných ve vodě, zatimco ûcinek monojodacetátu a malonátu je u stejně starých rostlin (4 dny) obou variant stejný. O mo?ných p?í?inách tohoto jevu bylo diskutováno.     

The influence of stimulating doses of 6-benzylaminopurine on awakening apple buds and on their consumption of oxygen

Byl sledován vliv 6-benzylaminopurinu na dýchání pupen? jabloně odr?dy Boskooaké v pr?běhu 5 dn? po pod7#x00E1;ní kininu. Bylo zji?těno, ?e spot?eba kyslíku stanovovaná p?ímou metodou Warburgovou je vy??í ji? prvního dne po podání 6-benzylaminopurmu a stoupá stále výrazněji a? do pátého dne, kdy je spot?eba kyslíku u pupen? stimulovaných o 75% vy??í, ne? u pupen? kontrolních.

Factors determining the biosynthesis of griseofulvin and similar substances

Была высказана гипотеза, что биосинтез гризеофульвине, цитромицетина, фульвиновой кислоты, фусаeубине, руброфусарина и родствеооых им вешеств протекаеР не путем конденсации линейнон цепочки, а из двух более коротких цепочек, которые возникают конденсацией 4 и 3 ацетатных единп. реакции, осушествляющиеся на уровне этих цапочек (илн прнмежувочных структур) метиляция, редукция, и, возможно, последующая дегидратация или только эноэизация— определяют направление дальнeйшeй кондeнсации в такой стeпeни, что конeчныe продуктыотдичаются своeй структурой.     

Root exudates of plants

Summary The composition of the root exudates of barley and wheat in the initial growth phases was investigated; amino acids, organic acids, sugars and certain aromatic compounds could be identified. A knowledge of the composition of root exudates is important from the standpoint of the interaction between the plants and the micro-organisms in the rhizosphere. Some aspects of the rhizosphere effect connected with the present work are discussed.     

Enzymes of the jejunal enterochromaffine cells in man

Summary A study of enzymatic equipment of enterochromaffine cells (e.c.) in jenual biopsies obtained with a Crosby capsule in normal humans and patients with nontropical sprue was undertaken. The following enzymes were demonstrated: alkaline phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase (cell membrane), acid phosphatase (corpuscular), non-specific esterase (diffuse and corpuscular, predominantly eserine resistant, in corpuscular localization E 600 resistant), DPN- and TPN-diaphorases and dehydrogenases of lactic acid, malic acid, isocitric acid, glucoso-6-phosphoric acid, succinic acid, -hydroxybutyric acid and -glycerophosphoric acid. Enzyme activities were not equal in all cells suggesting some type of secretory cycle. In most patients with untreated nontropical sprue or with the disease in relapse e.c. were more numerous and hypertrophic with elevated activities of non-specific esterase and acid phosphatase. Implications of these results are briefly discussed.With 8 Figures in the Text, of which 2 in Colour     

Ektodesmenstudien

Summary Lambertz (1954) did not mention Gramineae as plants containing ectodesmata, although he stated that ectodesmata are not bound to special groups of angiosperms but should occur in all families of angiosperms. Schnepe (1959) expressly pointed out that he never succeeded in demonstrating such structures in leaves of Gramineae with his method. In our studies, however, ectodesmata could be shown in leaves of wheat and maize if the fixation mixture contained nitric acid. As in other objects, including species of gymnosperms and pteridophytes, the same distribution of ectodesmata could be observed which was characterized by the formation of rows along the anticlinal walls, crowding in guard-cells and seattering in periclincal walls.     

Heterogeneous production of laccase by mycelium of white-rot fungi

Mycelium of white-rot fungi secretes laccase into the medium. It was found by cultivation on malt-agar plates that the mycelium does not produce laccase equally in all its parts. The youngest hyphae at the margins of the colony represent usually the maximum producers, whereas older hyphae produce less or none at all. An exception here isCollybia velutipes which is the weakest producer of laccase of all the fungi studied and where only the older hyphae begin to secrete it. Manometric estimation of laccase showed that maximum specific activity of laccase is achieved at the boundary between the phases of initial and linear growth and i₁₁ some cases during the first half of linear growth. Ageing of the mycelium characterized by certain changes in its metabolism is reflected in changes of enzyme production by fungal hypha of different age.     

Estimation of the mean floristic similarity between and within sets of vegetational relevés

Various possibilities of usingSörensen's coefficient of floristic similarity in plant sociology are summarized. A new formula (11), derived from that bySörensen and based on constancy values, is suggested in order to calculate the mean floristic similarity within a set of relevés.
