    Notes: Abstract Two inbred cultivars of Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco), ‘Samsun’ and ‘Xanthi’, were transformed with the plasmid pBI 121 using Bin 19 in Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The plasmid carries the nptII gene conferring kanamycin resistance and the uidA gene encoding β-glucuronidase (GUS). Progeny carrying the genes in the homozygous condition were identified and selfed over several generations. One line homozygous for the introduced genes and one untransformed control from each cultivar were then selected and crossed reciprocally to give four families per cultivar. Seeds from each family were grown in a replicated field trial and all plants scored for a range of morphological and agronomic characters. In addition, leaf samples were taken and GUS activity measured. In the ‘Samsun’ material, which contained one copy of the introduced gene at a single locus and showed high levels of GUS expression, the transformed homozygote showed twice the level of GUS activity as the hemizygotes, wheareas in the ‘Xanthi’ line, which had a lower level of GUS, the hemizygotes showed the same level of GUS activity as the transformed homozygote. The agronomic data showed differences between the families, but the source of such differences could not be ascribed unambiguously. The results are discussed in the light of related information on gene expression and field performance from other transgenic material.

    Notes: Free radical copolymerization in high-pressure autoclave reactors is studied by developing a mathematical model. Kinetic mechanisms to describe the polymerization rate, molecular weight averages, branching frequencies, as well as copolymer composition are presented. Two phase kinetics due to polymer-monomer solubilities in the reaction mixture are taken into account. Gel formation from cross-linking reactions is also analyzed. A mixing model is developed to represent the stirring effect inside the reactor. The mathematical model is implemented as a computer program to simulate commercial autoclave reactors. PID control equations are used to maintain operation at the unstable steady state. A sensitivity study is performed on the mixing model parameters and on some of the kinetic parameters and the model is compared to rate data from commercial reactors.
