    Notes: Abstract The release of endogenous amino acids from isolated, immature pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Marzia) cotyledons was investigated in relation to their developmental stage and the osmolarity of the bathing medium. The water potential of the cotyledons was about-1.1 MPa from which it could be inferred that the osmolarity of their apoplastic fluids will be approximately 450 mosmol·l−1. The time course of amino-acid release conformed to an exponential function. Rate constants of the release were in the range 0.3 to 0.9 · h −1. No indication was found for increased permeability of the plasmamembrane for amino acids at low medium osmolarity. Rate constants were even 1.5-fold lower in 0 mM mannitol than in medium with 400 mM mannitol. This effect could be ascribed to reduced protein synthesis in hypotonic media. In the presence of 400 mM mannitol the release was nearly proportional to the total amino-acid pool of the cotyledons and ranged from 12% to 8% for the various developmental stages. Amino-acid release was stimulated by incubation in a hypotonic medium (〈 400 mM mannitol), up to fourfold in a medium without mannitol where as much as 45% of the cotyledonary amino-acid content could be released. The extra aminoacid release induced by the hypotonic condition declined during development and eventually vanished completely. Release of amino acids into a medium with 400 mM mannitol was more selective than into a medium without mannitol. For instance, arginine was one of the main constituents of the cotyledonary amino-acid pool (19%) as well as of the released amino-acid mixture when the medium contained no mannitol (10%), whereas it was virtually absent when the medium contained 400 mM mannitol. As an overall interpretation of these results, it is proposed that the hypotonic condition greatly enhances the permeability of the tonoplast (not that of the plasmalemma) for amino acids so that the otherwise well-sequestered amino acids in the vacuole become available for release into the bathing medium.

    Notes: Abstract The influx of L-[14C]valine was measured over a wide concentration range (1 μM to 100 mM) in immature, isolated pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Marzia) cotyledons at two developmental stages, both in the absence and in the presence of 0.4 M mannitol. At an early developmental stage (water content of the cotyledons ≈80%) the valine influx was strictly proportional to the external amino-acid concentration over the whole concentration range (so-called linear component). This system renders the plasmalemma of the cotyledonary cells approximately 1000-fold more permeable to valine than the presumed basic permeability of the membrane for valine. At a later stage of development (water content of the cotyledons ∼55%) this transport pathway was supplemented by a saturable system (K m = 5mM; V max = 9.5 μmol · gFW−1). The saturable system emerged when the water content of the cotyledons was about 65%, and its activity increased steadily up to the latest developmental stage examined (water content of the cotyledons =50%). As a result, uptake rates of l-valine at low concentrations, expressed on a fresh-weight basis, increased about 15-fold in this phase of development. Low osmolarity of the bathing medium (0 mM mannitol) had no effect on the linear component, and reduced the uptake by the saturable component only slightly by increasing its K m from 3.8 mM to 5.6 mM. The possible role of the saturable system in the acquisition of amino acids by the developing embryo is discussed.

    Notes: Synthesis of poly(4′-vinyl-2,4,6-tri-tert-butyl-diphenyloxalate) and its 65 : 35 and 19 : 81 copolymers with styrene are described. Rigid phase broad-band photolysis of the homopolymer with a quartz filtered xenon arc at 77 K results in production of up to 25% of the theoretical number of spins/mol expected for quantitative production of pendant phenoxyl radicals, and shows no major loss of radical signal in the ESR at temperatures below 100 K. Curie law analysis of the temperature dependence of the ESR radical signal intensity for the neat photolyzed homopolymer 1 shows curvature consistent with antiferromagnetic pairing of radical spins at low temperatures. Since through-bond conjugation of radical spins is not possible in this system, the antiferromagnetic interaction is interpreted in terms of intrachain and/or interchain through-space exchange interactions.

    Notes: A photochemical precursor to a pendant conjugated polyradical has been synthesized, poly[3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-[(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl)oxalato]phenylacetylene], 3. Irradiation of 3 at 77 K in the solid state at 〈 300 nm yielded poly(3-5-di-tert-butyl-2-oxyphenyl acetylene), 2, with 30-40% of the expected number of radical spins. Spin yields on the surface of solid samples appears to be considerably higher. Electron spin resonance experiments showed no evidence of cooperative exchange interaction between the pendant spins. Computational modeling indicated that a major reason for the failure of this and other polyphenylacetylenes to show ferromagnetic exchange between spins is the substantial twisting of the polyacetylene backbone required by steric interactions, leading to deconjugation and a loss of exchange interaction between pendant radicals along the chain. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The effect of confinement on the crystallinity and chain orientation of ultrathin poly(di-n-hexylsilane) films has been investigated using UV absorption, fluorescence and IR spectroscopies. UV absorption measurements in a series of poly(di-n-hexylsilane) films having thicknesses between 50 and 3500 Å have shown that, for thicknesses less than 500 Å, the polymer backbone disorders and extensive crystallization of the films is hindered irrespective of molecular weight or surface hydrophobicity. Fluorescence studies showed that rapid energy transfer occurs from the disordered chain segments to the crystalline ones. The orientation of both the polymer backbone and side chains was probed with IR absorption and grazing incidence reflection measurements. The side chains are extended, although not completely in the all-trans conformation, with their carbon plane mostly perpendicular to the substrate. The backbone lies extended, with the polymer axis parallel to the plane of the film. The hexyl side-chains disorder in films less than 2000 Å thick and this disordering occurs through the introduction of gauche bonds. Our findings suggest the possibility of using thickness to control the chain organization and morphology of a polymer thin film. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Vinyl esters and acrylates of polyesters derived from C10-C18 hydroxyacids have been synthesized and copolymerized with vinyl chloride with the hope of achieving an internally plasticized poly(vinyl chloride). Copolymers containing 10-30% polyester are film-forming materials, and the films cast from THF solutions are generally flexible. A number of these vinyl chloride copolymers with polyesters at approximately 15 and 25% level have been tested for various properties. The internal plasticization is not extensive.
