    Notes: Mycorrhizae may help plants to thrive in Mediterranean semi-arid ecosystems by altering antioxidant enzyme activities. Our objective was to determine the influence of mycorrhizal inoculation with an allochthonous arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Glomus claroideum, Schenck & Smith, or with a mixture of native AM fungi, on the activity of antioxidant enzymes from shoots of Olea europaea L. ssp. sylvestris, Retama sphaerocarpa (L.) Boissier and Rhamnus lycioides L. seedlings afforested in a degraded Mediterranean semi-arid soil. One year after planting, shoot biomass of inoculated O. europaea seedlings was about 630%, of non-inoculated plants. Shoot biomass of G. claroideum-colonized R. sphaerocarpa was greater than that of seedlings inoculated with the mixed native AM fungi after 12 months. Inoculation with a mix of native AM fungi was the most effective treatment for increasing shoot biomass and N, P and K contents in shoot tissues of R. lycioides. Both mycorrhizal inoculation treatments increased the nutrient contents in shoots of O. europaea and R. lycioides. In O. europaea plants, the inoculation treatments increased catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and dehydroascorbate reductase activities, but not monodehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione reductase activities. Inoculation with G. claroideum increased the activities of all antioxidant enzymes in R. sphaerocarpa. Monodehydroascorbate reductase, glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase activities in R. lycioides leaves were preferentially increased by inoculation with the mixture of native AM fungi. This work support the view that increased antioxidant enzyme activities could be involved, at least in part, in the beneficial effects of mycorrhizal colonization on the performance of shrub species grown under semi-arid Mediterranean conditions.

    Notes: Using two cultivars of Pisum sativum L. with different sensitivity to NaCl, the effect of long-term (15 d) NaCl (70 m M) treatments on the activity and expression of the foliar ascorbate–glutathione cycle enzymes, superoxide dismutase isozymes and their mRNAs was evaluated and related to their ascorbate and glutathione contents. High-speed supernatant (soluble) fractions, enriched for cytosolic components of the antioxidant system, were used. In this fraction from the NaCl-tolerant variety (cv Granada), the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) increased, while CuZn-SOD activity remained constant. In the NaCl-sensitive plants (cv Challis), salinity did not produce significant changes in APX, MDHAR and GR activities. Only DHAR activity was induced in cv Challis, whereas soluble CuZn-SOD activity decreased by about 35%. Total ascorbate and glutathione contents decreased in both cultivars, but the decline was greater in NaCl-sensitive plants. This difference between the two cultivars was more pronounced when the transcript levels of some these enzymes were examined. Transcript levels for mitochondrial Mn-SOD, chloroplastic CuZn-SOD and phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPX), cytosolic GR and APX were strongly induced in the NaCl-tolerant variety but not in the NaCl-sensitive variety. These data strongly suggest that induction of antioxidant defences is at least one component of the tolerance mechanism of peas to long-term salt-stress.

    Notes: The isoenzyme pattern and the substrate specificity of the membrane-bound mitochondrial and peroxisomal ascorbate peroxidases (APX; EC 1.11.1.11) from pea leaves are studied. The substrate specificity of both APXs was assayed using the electron donors ascorbate and pyrogallol, whereas o-dianisidine, hydroquinone, tetramethylbenzidine and 4-methoxy-α-naphthol were also assayed with mitochondrial APX (mitAPX). In leaf mitochondria, the specific activity of APX was similar with pyrogallol and ascorbate, the activity being inhibited by p-CMS. mitAPX showed low activity with the guaiacol peroxidase (GPX)-type substrates, tetramethylbenzidine and 4-methoxy-α-naphthol. Activity of mitAPX with hydroquinone suggest a potential role of mitAPX in the drainage of electrons from the mitochondrial electron chain at the level of ubiquinone. In peroxisomes, the APX (perAPX) specific activity was much higher with pyrogallol than with ascorbate. This perAPX was more sensitive to incubation with Triton X-100 than the mitAPX. By native PAGE the mitAPX was resolved in 6 isoenzyme bands, and the activity of the 3 main bands (mitAPX III, III′ and IV) was inhibited by p-CMS. These 3 major isozymes were also present in mitochondrial membrane fractions. Staining for GPX activity with 4-methoxy-α-naphthol revealed that the APX detected in mitochondria did not have the capacity to oxidize 4-MN, and therefore cannot be considered as true GPX. When intact peroxisomes and peroxisomal membranes were subjected to native PAGE, no APX activity could be detected and this was probably due to the inactivation of perAPX. Results obtained suggest that pea mitochondrial APX (mitAPX) represent a distinct and novel isozyme different from those APXs of chloroplast and cytosolic origin previously reported. The peroxisomal APX (perAPX), however, appears to ressemble the chloroplast APXs as regards its sensitivity to Triton X-100.

    Notes: Recent evidence has indicated that activated oxygen species (AOS) may function as molecular signals in the induction of defence genes. 
In the present work, the response of antioxidative enzymes to the plum pox virus (PPV) was examined in two apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars, which behaved differently against PPV infection. In the inoculated resistant cultivar (Goldrich), a decrease in catalase (CAT) as well as an increase in total superoxide dismutase (SOD) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) activities were observed. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR) and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) did not change significantly in relation to non-inoculated (control) plants. In the susceptible cultivar (Real Fino), inoculation with PPV brought about a decrease in CAT, SOD and GR, whereas a rise in APX, MDHAR and DHAR activities was found in comparison to non-inoculated (control) plants. 
Apricot leaves contain only CuZn-SOD isozymes, which responded differently to PPV depending on the cultivar. Goldrich leaves contained 6 SODs and both SOD 1 and SOD 2 increased in the inoculated plants. In leaves from Real Fino, 5 SODs were detected and only SOD 5 was increased in inoculated plants. 
The different behaviour of SODs (H2O2-generating enzymes) and APX (an H2O2-remover enzyme) in both cultivars suggests an important role for H2O2 in the response to PPV of the resistant cultivar, in which no change in APX activity was observed. This result also points to further studies in order to determine if an alternative H2O2-scavenging mechanism takes place in the resistant apricot cultivar exposed to PPV. On the other hand, the ability of the inoculated resistant cultivar to induce SOD 1 and SOD 2 as well as the important increase of DHAR seems to suggest a relationship between these activities and resistance to PPV. 
This is the first report about the effect of PPV infection on the antioxidative enzymes of apricot plants. It opens the way for the further studies, which are necessary for a better understanding of the role of antioxidative processes in viral infection by PPV in apricot plants.

    Notes: Abstract Rancy type catalysts were prepared by means of a two step procedure: (1) Mechanical alloying of the metals and, (2) alkaline aluminum leaching. Mechanical alloying is a novel atlernative related to the synthesis of skeletal Ni catalysts. X-ray diffraction, and Mössbauer spectroscopies were performed for catalysts characterization. Binary Al-Ni and ternary Al-Ni-Fe alloys were produced by mechanical alloying from pure metallic powders; in particular, the intermetallic β-(AlNi) phase was formed with a fine microstructure as a non-equilibrium phase; then, aluminum was selectively removed. After aluminum leaching the β-(AlNi) phase was transformed into the more stable nickel fee structure.

Реакция является гомогенной, мономолекулярной и следует закону скорости первого порядка. π-Связи в соседстве с β-углеродом этилацетата прямо-пропорционално увеличивают скорость, вследствие их эффекта на кислотность связи Cβ−H.
    Notes: Abstract The rates of the gas phasè elimination of 3-butyn-1-yl acetate were studied in a static system over the temperature range of 340–385°C and pressure range of 53–180 Torr. The reaction is homogeneous, unimolecular and follows a first order rate law. π-bonds adjacent to the β-carbon of ethyl acetate increase the rate in direct proportion to their effect on the acidity of the Cβ−H bond.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Кинетика газофазной элиминации о- и м-метокси-2-фенилэтил хлоридов исследована в интервале температур 390–464°C и при давлениях 38–119 торр. Реакция в высушенных сосудах и в присутствии свободно-радикального ингибитора, пропена, является гомогенной, мономолекулярной. о-Анизильные и п-анизильные заместители в β-положении этилхлорида анхимерически содействуют процессу элиминации. Образование циклического продукта, бензодигидрофурана, из о-метокси-2-фенилэтил хлорида свидетельствует о механизме, основанном на образовании интимной ионной пары.
    Notes: Abstract The kinetics for the gas phase elimination of o-and m-methoxy-2-phenylethyl chlorides have been investigated over the temperature range of 390-464°C and pressure range of 38–119 Torr. The reactions in seasoned vessels and in the presence of the free radical inhibitor propene, are homogeneous and unimolecular and follow a first-order rate law. The o-anisyl and p-anisyl substituents at the β-position of ethyl chloride assist anchimerically the elimination processes. The formation of a cyclic product, benzodihydrofuran, from o-methoxy-2-phenylethyl chloride suggests an intimate ion pair mechanism operating in this reaction.

    Notes: Abstract The enzyme ACC oxidase catalyses the last step of ethylene biosynthesis in plants, converting 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) to ethylene. We have previously described the isolation and characterization of a cDNA clone (pMEL1) encoding an ACC oxidase homolog from melon (Cucumis melo L.). Here we report the isolation and characterization of three genomic clones, corresponding to three putative members of the ACC oxidase gene family in melon. All are transcriptionally active. The sequences of these genes have been determined. One genomic clone (CM-ACO1), corresponding to the cDNA previously isolated, presents a coding region interrupted by three introns. Its transcription initiation site has been defined with RNA from ripe fruit and ethylene-treated leaves. The other two genes (CM-ACO2, CM-ACO3) have only two introns, at positions identical to their counterparts inCM-ACO1. The degree of DNA homology in the coding regions ofCM-ACO2 andCM-ACO3 relative toCM-ACO1 is 59% and 75%, respectively.CM-ACO2 andCM-ACO3 are 59% homologous in their coding regions. These three genes have close homology toPH-ACO3, a member of the ACC oxidase multigene family of petunia. The predicted amino acid sequences of CM-ACO1 and CM-ACO3 are 77% to 81% identical to those encoded by the tomato and petunia genes, while the deduced amino acid sequence ofCM-ACO2 shows only 42% to 45% homology. RT-PCR analysis using gene-specific primers shows that the three genes are differentially expressed during development, ethylene treatment and wounding.CM-ACO1 is induced in ripe fruit and in response to wounding and to ethylene treatment in leaves.CM-ACO2 is detectable at low level in etiolated hypocotyls.CM-ACO3 is expressed in flowers and is not induced by any of the stimuli tested.
