    Notes: Abstract The growth of Tabernaemontana pachysiphon (Apocynaceae) plants and the alkaloid content of leaves were investigated in the greenhouse at three levels of nutrient supply under two contrasting water and light regimes. We determined height increment, above-ground biomass production, leaf size, specific leaf weight and the content of the alkaloids apparicine, A2, isovoacangine, tubotaiwine and tubotaiwine-N-oxide. The effects of major controlling factors such as light, water and nutrient supply could be directly correlated with growth and were largely independent of each other. In contrast, leaf-alkaloid contents were influenced by interdependencies among the main factors and individually affected in a synergistic or antagonistic manner which deviated from the effects on growth. The following general trends could be identified with respect to the quantitatively predominant alkaloids apparicine, tubotaiwine and isovoacangine. Increasing nutrient supply had a positive effect on both growth and alkaloid content. Drought increased alkaloid content, but retarded growth. High light intensity lowered alkaloid content but promoted growth. We investigated the relationship between primary production and the production of secondary metabolites with respect to relative and total alkaloid content as well as in relation to the leaves' nitrogen status. Our results showed that under conditions of low nutrient supply, higher proportions of leaf nitrogen were allocated to alkaloids than at moderate or high nutrient supply. Under conditions of drought and low light, all plants allocated almost equal proportions of leaf nitrogen to alkaloids, regardless of fertiliser. Total alkaloid content per plant, however, increased with fertilisation. With respect to the N-allocation strategy, we found no indication of a trade-off between primary production and the production of secondary metabolites in this species. Rather, our results are in accordance with the carbon nutrient balance hypothesis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein Cellulose- Austauscher wurde aus “o-Aminophenol-Cellulose” durch Diazotieren und Kuppeln mit Diaminodibenzo-17-krone-5 hergestellt. Die Verteilungskoeffizienten für Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Na+ und K+ wurden in Wasser/Methanol-Mischungen als Funktion des Wassergehaltes bestimmt. Die Trennung von Ca2+, Na+ und K+ und die Fraktionierung der Calciumisotope 48Ca und 40Ca wurde untersucht. Der Anreicherungsfaktor ε = 4.9 · 10-3 für 48Ca2+ ist merklich größer als der für Kationenaustauscher mit SO3H-Gruppen gefundene, aber niedriger als der in der Literatur für bestimmte Kryptanden angegebene Wert.
    Notes: A new cellulose exchanger was synthesized from “o-aminophenolcellulose” by diazotation and coupling with diaminodibenzo-17-crown-5. The distribution coefficients for Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Na+ and K+ were determined in water/methanol mixtures as a function of the water content. Separation of Ca2+, Na+ and K+ and fractionation of the calcium isotopes 48Ca and 40Ca were investigated. The enrichment factor ε = 4.9 · 10-3 for 48Ca2+ is appreciably higher than that found for cation exchange resins with —SO3H groups, but lower than that reported for certain cryptands.
