    Notes: Abstract Three years of field data in northeastern Nebraska demonstrate that a grain sorghum crop reduces weediness in the following crop year. Weed growth was consistently lower in sorghum areas the year after strip-cropping fields with sequences of four-row bands of grain sorghum, soybeans, and corn. Percentage weed cover was significantly lower early in the year, and midsummer weed biomass was well below that found after corn and soybeans. Weed biomass in June and July following corn was two to four times that of grain sorghum strips. Inhibitory effects of grain sorghum were primarily on broadleaf weeds, often showing no action on grass weeds. No obvious differences were noted in the weed species present after the three crops. Allelopathy provides a logical explanation for the sorghum-mediated weed inhibition found in this study. The data have implications for weed management strategies in agriculture.

    Bioassay of naturally occurring allelochemicals for phytotoxicity (1988)

    Notes: Abstract The bioassay has been one of the most widely used tests to demonstrate allelopathic activity. Often, claims that a particular plant species inhibits the growth of another are based entirely on the seed germination response to solvent extracts of the suspected allelopathic plant; few of these tests are of value in demonstrating allelopathy under natural conditions. The veracity of the bioassay for evaluating naturally occurring compounds for phytotoxicity depends upon the physiological and biochemical response capacity of the bioassay organism and the mechanism(s) of action of the allelochemicals. The possibility that more than one allelochemical, acting in concert at very low concentrations, may be responsible for an observed allelopathic effect makes it imperative that bioassays be extremely sensitive to chemical growth perturbation agents. Among the many measures of phytotoxicity of allelochemicals, the inhibition (or stimulation) of seed germination, radicle elongation, and/or seedling growth have been the parameters of choice for most investigations. Few of these assays have been selected with the view towards the possible mechanism of the allelopathic effect.

    The effects of ferulic acid on the mineral nutrition of grain sorghum (1987)

    Notes: Summary Two week old sorghum seedlings (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) were treated with ferulic acid added to the nutrient solution. Effects on tissue concentration of P, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, and Zn were evaluated after 3 and 6 days. Treatemnts of 0.25 mM ferulic acid approximated the growth inhibition threshold, and after 6 days 0.5 mM treated plants weighed less than controls. Both treatments reduced the P content of the roots and shoots at the 3- and 6-day harvests in three replicate experiments. Roots of treated plants at both harvests had a lower concentration of K and Mg. These reductions in P, K, and Mg were most extensive from the 0.5 mM ferulic acid regime. In some cases at both harvests, shoot K was lower and Mg was higher than control tissue. Ferulic acid effects at the 3-day harvest included an elevation of Ca and depression of Fe in shoots. Changes in nutrient content preceded measurable differences in plant weight. These data indicate that one mechanism of growth inhibition by this allelochemical may be an alteration of nutrient balance.

    Notes: Empirical conformational energy calculations have been carried out for N-methyl derivatives of alanine and phenylalanine dipeptide models and N-methyl-substituted active analogs of three biologically active peptides, namely thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), enkephalin (ENK), and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH). The isoenergetic contour maps and the local dipeptide minima obtained, when the peptide bond (ω) preceding the N-methylated residue is in the trans configuration show that (1) N-methylation constricts the conformational freedom of both the ith and (i + 1)th residues; (2), the lowest energy position for both residues occurs around φ = -135° ± 5° and ψ = 75° ± 5°, and (3) the αL conformational state is the second lowest energy state for the (i + 1)th residue, whereas for the ith residue the C5 (extended) conformation is second lowest in energy. When the peptide bond (ωi) is in the cis configuration the ith residue is energetically forbidden in the range φ = 0° to 180° and ψ = -180° to +180°. Conformations of low energy for ωi = 0° are found to be similar to those obtained for the trans peptide bond. In all the model systems (irrespective of cis or trans), the αR conformational state is energetically very high. Significant deviations from planarity are found for the peptide bond when the amide hydrogen is replaced by a methyl group. Two low-energy conformers are found for [(N-Me)His2]TRH. These conformers differ only in the φ and ψ values at the (N-Me)His2 residue. Among the different low-energy conformers found for each of the ENK analogs [D-Ala2,(N-Me)Phe4, Met5]ENK amide and [D-Ala2,(N-Me)Met5]ENK amide, one low-energy conformer was found to be common for both analogs with respect to the side-chain orientations. The stability of the low-energy structures is discussed in the light of the activity of other analogs. Two low-energy conformers were found for [(N-Me)Leu7]LHRH. These conformations differ in the types of bend around the positions 6 and 7 of LHRH. One bend type is eliminated when the active analog [D-Ala6,(M-Me)Leu7]LHRH is considered.

    Notes: Energy pathways between the αR, β′, C7eq, and β-regions of the conformational energy surface of N-acetyl-N′-methylalanyl amide were obtained by SCF ab initio calculations on the 4-21G level, with gradient geometry optimization at each point. The calculations indicate that no barrier exists at this computational level between αR and β′. The variation of geometry (bond distances and bond angles) with conformation is analyzed in detail, and the most important geometrical parameters that should be treated as variables in both empirical energy calculations and in the fitting of polypeptide chains in proteins by x-ray methods are identified. In addition to the φ,ψ correlation discussed previously for the helical state, a correlation of these dihedral angles in the β-region is described.

    Description / Table of Contents: IR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen von Polyäthylen-Proben, dargestellt durch Reduktion von Polyvinylchlorid mit Lithiumaluminiumhydrid, ließen darauf schließen, daß Polyvinylchlorid Seitenketten enthält, die seine Morphologie und Festkörpereigenschaften wesentlich beeinflussen. Die Natur dieser Seitenketten war bisher unbekannt. Es wird anhand von 13C-NMR Spektren gezeigt, daß die Verzweigungen in reduziertem Polyvinylchlorid aus Methylgruppen bestehen, die vermutlich aus Chlormethylgruppen des ursprünglichen Polymeren entstanden sind. Die untersuchte Probe enthielt ca. 3 CH3-Gruppen pro 1000 CH2-Gruppen, jedoch is dieses Verhältnis vermutlich von der Polymerisationstemperatur abhängig. Zusätzlich wurden Anzeichen für längere Seitenketten gefunden, die allerdings nur in einem Ausmaß von weniger als 1 pro 1000 CH2-Gruppen vorhanden sein dürften.
    Notes: The presence of branches in poly(vinyl chloride) as indicated by previous IR measurements on the polymer reduced to polyethylene by means of lithium aluminum hydride is believed to affect materially the morphology and solid state properties of poly(vinyl chloride); however, up to the present, the nature of these branches has not been known. By use of 13C-NMR on reduced poly(vinyl chloride) it is demonstrated that the brances are methyl groups, presumably corresponding to chloromethyl groups in the original polymer. In the sample studied, the frequency is ca. 3 methyl groups per 1000 CH2 groups, but this is expected to depend on the temperature of polymerization. There is also some evidence for long branches, probably not exceeding 1 per 1000 CH2 groups.

    Notes: Nonglycosylated α-amylase, a major component of human parotid saliva, has been crystallized by the vapor diffusion technique using 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol as the precipitant in the presence of CaCl2 at pH 9.0. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P212121 with unit cell dimensions of a = 53.3, b = 75.8, and c = 138.1 Å. The asymmetric unit contains one amylase molecule. The solvent content is 54%. The crystals are stable to X-rays and diffract up to 2.8 Å and appear to be suitable for X-ray diffraction studies.

    Notes: Experiments have been carried out to measure the permeation of tritium-labeled toluene through polyethylene films fully swollen with chlorobenzene, mesitylene, cumene, toluene, ethylbenzene, cyclohexane, tetrahydronaphthalene, and decahydronaphthalene. The results show characteristic Arrhenius temperature dependence over the range 25 to 40°C. The permeation of toluene through the films appears to be enhanced by increased solubility of the swelling agent (estimated from the work of others) in the film and there also appears to be a rough correlation between permeability of toluene and the boiling points and vapor pressures of the swelling agents. The range of permeabilities measured at 25°C. is 2.09 × 10-7 to 0.51 × 10-7 sq.cm./sec., the extremes of measured permeation activation energy, Ep, are 11.41 to 16.68 kcal./mole, and the pre-exponential factor, Po, falls within the interval 36.59 to 1.29 × 105 sq.cm./sec. A very definite linear relationship or compensation effect is evident between Po and Ep. Except as mentioned above, none of these quantities appears to correlate uniformly with the following properties of swelling solvent: molecular weight, dipole moment, specific gravity, vapor pressure, boiling point, heat of vaporization, critical temperature, viscosity, surface tension, molar volume, molecular area or other molecular dimensions.

    Notes: The hydration state of a series of [Ln(DO2A)(H2O)n]+ complexes in aqueous solution at pH = 6.4-7.0 was studied by measuring the lanthanide-induced 17O shifts (LIS) of water [Ln includes elements from Ce to Yb; DO2A = 1,7-bis(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane]. Their contact contribution, obtained from Reilley plots, indicated a decrease in the inner-sphere water coordination number of the [Ln(DO2A)(H2O)n]+ complexes from n = 3 (Ce-Eu), to n = 2 (Tb-Yb). A temperature-dependent UV/Vis absorption study of the 578-582 nm 7F0 → 5D0 transition band of [Eu(DO2A)(H2O)n]+ in aqueous solution showed that this complex is present in an equilibrium between eight- and nine-coordinate species with n = 2 and n = 3, respectively. The hydration equilibrium parameters (2 ↔ 3), K2-3298 = 4.0 ± 0.2, ΔH2-30 = -12.1 ± 1 kJ mol-1 and ΔS2-30 = -28.9 ± 3 J mol-1 K-1,correspond to an average hydration number of 2.65-2.85 in the temperature range 273-363 K. A variable temperature, multiple field 17O NMR study combined with direct EPR measurements of the transverse electronic relaxation rates has been used to obtain the parameters characterizing water exchange, rotation and electronic relaxation, all influencing the proton relaxivity of [Gd(DO2A)(H2O)2-3]+. The small increase in the water exchange rate of [Gd(DO2A)(H2O)2-3]+ (kex298 = (10 ± 5) × 106s-1) relative to that of[Gd(DOTA)(H2O)]- (4.8 × 106 s-1) is a consequence of an unfavorable interplay of charge and hydration equilibria. The value of τR298 = 40 ± 1 ps is short, and the electronic relaxation rate (1/T2e ≍ 1.2 × 1010 s-1) is fast relative to [Gd(DOTA)(H2O)]- (1.3-2.4 × 109 s-1 for B = 0.34 T). These parameters negate to some extent the expected increase in proton relaxivity of the [Gd(DO2A)(H2O)2-3]+ complex.Supporting information for this article is available on the WWW under -//_/_http://www.wiley-vch.de/contents/jc_2005/2000/99338_s.pdf or from the author.
