    Notes: The function of the ascorbate-glutathione (AsA/GSH) cycle was analyzed in seeds of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Peredovik) subjected to accelerated ageing at 43°C and 75% relative humidity for 1 to 11 days. The study was performed using dry seeds and seeds hydrated by imbibition in distilled water for 4 h at 25 °C. Lipid peroxidation was also determined by measuring the malondialdehyde (MDA) level. As the ageing period increased, a progressive loss of seed viability became increasingly evident. Even though high levels of MDA were delected, the MDA level did not change during accelerated ageing, suggesting that lipid peroxidation might occur to some extent. The study of the ascorbate/glutathione (AsA/GSH) cycle revealed that the GSH system is the major detoxifying mechanism in both dry and imbibed sunflower seeds. The GSH system is mainly located in the embryo, and its protective role is mediated by reactions that consume the GSH pool and, thereby, minimize the increase of the oxidized form (GSSG). Seed imbibition activates cellular metabolism and allows some antioxidant enzymes like glutathione reductase (EC 1,6,4,2) to act upon toxic agents. These reactions provide a reducing status, so that repair of damage becomes possible. However, prolonged ageing conditions (11 days) result in an irreversible damage, as evidenced by the appearance of dead seeds when the germination period ended. Multiple regression analysis revealed the effectiveness of the GSH system in aged seeds, especially upon imbibition and until the AsA/GSH cycle became completely functional.

    Notes: The glutathione system is thought to be involved in defence mechanisms present in plant tissues. The efficacy of this system was evaluated in large seeds of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Peredovik) in response to accelerated ageing (43°C/75% relative humidity from 1 to 11 days). Differences between the embryo axis and cotyledons in relation to the glutathione system were also investigated. Additionally, lipid peroxidation was determined by measuring the malondialdehyde (MDA) content. All assays were performed using dry seeds and seeds subsequently hydrated by imbibition in distilled water for 12 h at 25°C. Accelerated ageing caused a marked decrease in seed viability, accompanied by an increase in mean germination time. There were no changes in total glutathione in dry seeds. However, the distribution in its reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms revealed that ageing produced a slow conversion from GSH to GSSG. As the ageing period increased, this effect was accompanied by a decrease in glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) activity. The results also indicated that the GSH system exerts a different response in the embryo axis as compared with the cotyledon: (1) the GSH levels decreased less in the cotyledons than in axes of aged seeds, and (2) the GSSG level in cotyledons was independent of ageing, while its amount increased in aged embryo axes. These different responses, in conjunction with the lower MDA levels in large as compared with small seeds, indicate a possible protective role of the reserve lipids. The efficacy of the GSH system in aged seeds was associated with seed viability, as revealed by multiple regression analysis. Upon imbibition, aged seeds were able to restore their GSH levels, reaching values approximating those of unaged seeds.

    Notes: A number of nucleophiles have been successfully identified and quantified using the Kröhnke reaction with 2,3-diphenyl derivatives of quinolizinium salts. Optimization of the reaction conditions by means of a mathematical model involving analysis of the response surface has led to a better understanding of the factors exerting an influence on the above reaction.The parameters chosen were temperature, reaction time, base concentration, water concentration and nucleophile concentration. The reaction was developed in polar aprotic solvents (acetone, acetonitrile). To facilitate the nucleophilic attack, the presence of an organic base (triethylamine) was necessary, although concentrations in excess of 0·15M did not alter the development of the reaction. Since pharmaceutical solutions are often aqueous, the influence of water on the reaction was studied. Low water volumes have no significant influence on the opening of the quinolizinium ring by the nucleophilic reagent. However, when the water proportion exceeded that of the organic solvent, the fluorescence intensity was lower than expected. Development of the fluorescent reaction product was first detected 5 min after the reaction started. The fluorescence intensity reached its optimum value after 138 min.

    Notes: Blends of erucamide (13-cis-docosenamide) and isotactic poly(propylene) were analyzed by means of dynamic mechanical (at 3, 10, and 30 Hz) and dielectric (at 1, 6, and 20 kHz) techniques. The dependence of tan δ with temperature for each one of the blends has been fitted to Gaussian functions in order to deconvolute the overlapped relaxations. Three relaxations for i-PP, αi-PP, βi-PP, γi-PP, three for erucamide, αERU, βERU, and γERU, and five for their blends have been observed and assigned. They do not vary appreciably with composition, suggesting that the components are incompatible either as globules in the matrix or in the amorphous regions of the spherulites, and/or in their surroundings. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
