    Notes: Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) was shown to influence turgor pressure and growth in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) roots. At a concentrations of 25 mmol·m-3, ABA increased the turgor pressure of cells located within 1 cm of the tip by up to 450 kPa. At 4 to 5 cm from the root tip this concentration of ABA reduced the turgor pressure of peripheral cells (epidermis and the first few cortical cell layers) to zero or close to zero while that of the inner cells was increased. Increases in sap osmolality were dependent on the concentration of ABA and the effect saturated at 5 mmol·m-3 ABA. The increase in osmolality took about 4 h and was partly the result of reducing-sugar accumulation. Levels of inorganic cations were not affected by ABA. Root growth was inhibited at ABA concentrations that caused a turgor-pressure increase. The results show that while ABA can affect root cell turgor pressures, this effect does not result in increased root growth.

    Notes: Abstract Excision and subsequent incubation of the apices (1 cm) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedling roots in simple media severely reduced elongation from 28 mm·(24 h)-1 in intact roots to a maximum of 2 mm·(24 h)-1 in excised roots. The reduction in growth was accompanied by a loss of cell turgor in the growing zone but was correlated with a hardening of the cell walls in this region. Rheological properties were measured as percent extensibility (both plastic and elastic) using a tensiometer, and as instantaneous volumetric elastic modulus (ε i) using the pressure probe. Excision decreased plastic and elastic properties with a half-time of some 60 min. Plastic extension was reduced from 2.5% to 0.9% and elastic from 4.8% to 2.6% for an 8-g load. By contrast, ε i was increased by excision. The observed reduction in root elongation rate was accompained by a reduction in mature cell length from 240 μm to 40 μm and a shortening of the zone of cell expansion.

    Notes: Summary The potential to improve seed germination responses to salinity was evaluated for 13 accessions representing six wild Lycopersicon species and 20 accessions of L. esculentum. Germination response times increased in all accessions at 100 mM NaCl. Analysis indicated that one accession of L. peruvianum (PI126435) germinated faster under high salinity than all other accessions and was closely followed by L. pennellii (LA716). The fastest germinating L. esculentum accession, PI174263, ranked third. Additional wild ecotypes exhibiting rapid germination at 100 mM NaCl were identified among L. pimpinellifolium and L. peruvianum.

    Notes: Summary A greenhouse screening method for corky root (Pyrenochaeta lycopersici) resistance in the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is described in detail. In determining the reliability of the method, known resistance sources within wild asccessions, commerical cultivars and breeding lines were evaluated for resistance in fields naturally infested with corky root and their response compared under greenhouse conditions in soil heavily infested with corky root and artifically maintained at temperatures between 10–13°C. The procedure developed can be used year round and improves the efficiency of recovering resistant progeny in large segregrating populations.
