    Notes: Summary Nuclear uptake and retention of3H-estradiol by luteinizing hormone (LH) and prolactin (PRL) cells was examined in three species of rodents (guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils) using the combined techniques of immunocyto-chemistry and autoradiography. Castrated animals were injected with3H-estradiol and decapitated 1.5 h later. The pituitary glands were processed for thaw-mount autoradiography followed by conventional immunocytochemical staining for LH and PRL.3H-estradiol accumulated in more than 80% of the anterior pituitary cells in the gerbils, while only 33 and 22% of the cells accumulated3H-estradiol in the hamsters and guinea pigs, respectively. A varying percentage of immunoreactive LH and PRL cells in all three species were found also to contain binding sites for estradiol. Some LH and PRL cells in hamsters and guinea pigs and only some in PRL cells of gerbils were found to be devoid of grains. Quantitative analysis revealed that the number of grains per nucleus differed considerably from cell to cell. LH cells of guinea pigs accumulated much larger amounts of3H-estradiol than did the PRL cells, while the LH cells in the hamsters and gerbils accumulated only slightly more3H-estradiol than the PRL cells. These results confirm the previous observations in rats and baboons that demonstrated tremendous species differences in percentage of cells in the anterior pituitary gland that accumulated3H-estradiol. Also, these data suggest that there are functionally heterogeneous cell types among the LH and PRL cells in hamsters, guinea pigs and gerbils as has been previously demonstrated in rats and baboons.

    The value of mutants unable to carry out photorespiration (1988)

    Notes: Abstract Manipulation of the CO2 concentration of the atmosphere allows the selection of photorespiratory mutants from populations of seeds treated with powerful mutagens such as sodium azide. So far, barley lines deficient in activity of phosphoglycolate phosphatase, catalase, the glycine to serine conversion, glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthase, 2-oxoglutarate uptake and serine: glyoxylate aminotransferase have been isolated. In addition one line of pea lacking glutamate synthase activity and one barley line containing reduced levels of Rubisco are available. The characteristics of these mutations are described and compared with similar mutants isolated from populations of Arabidopsis. As yet, no mutant lacking glutamine synthetase activity has been isolated from Arabidopsis and possible reasons for this difference between barley and Arabidopsis are discussed. The value of these mutant plants in the elucidation of the mechanism of photorespiration and its relationships with CO2 fixation and amino acid metabolism are highlighted.

    Manipulation of the polyamine content and senescence of apical buds of G2 peas (1985)

    Notes: Abstract The effect of various treatments on the apical senescence and polyamine content of apical buds of G2 peas was analysed. Defruiting prevented senescence and increased bud size and polyamine content. Exogenous applications of GA20 enhanced bud size and spermidine concentration. Applied spermidine had a slight effect on spermidine level but did not delay senescence. ACC strongly induced adecrease in bud size and, at 10 mM, apical senescence. This was accompanied by a steady decline in the level of all polyamines though their concentration remained constant until 10 mM ACC, where a drop was noted. Spermidine in the presence of ACC modulated the effect of ACC on the bud size while returning the internal polyamine content to control levels. AVG, an inhibitor of ACC synthesis produced pronounced increases in putrescine though no apparent effect on apical bud growth. Polyamine synthesis inhibitors were without effect on growth or internal polyamine content. The internal polyamine content appeared to correlate with apical bud size and vigor but did not show any consistent relationship to apical bud senescence.

    Notes: Abstract In G2 peas senescence only takes place in long days. In order to determine the role of cytokinins in this process the endogenous cytokinins from vegetative shoots of G2 peas were characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy following purification by HPLC. Cytokinins were extracted and purified with and without the addition of 15N labelled internal standards of several cytokinins to estimate cytokin content by isotope dilution in the mass spectra. Samples without internal standards were bioassayed after HPLC. Bioassays showed the presence of zeatin, zeatin riboside and zeatin-0-glucoside. The presence of zeatin was confirmed by its mass spectrum of its permethylated derivative. Tentative identification of zeatin riboside, zeatin-0-glucoside, dihydrozeatin, and dihydrozeatin-0-glucoside was obtained by the coincidence of the major ion for the permethylated natural and 15N labelled internal standards on GC-MS, and the similar coincidence of ions for permethylated zeatin riboside-0-glucoside by direct probe MS. There was no indication of the presence of significant quantities of zeatin-7-glucoside or zeatin-9-glucoside. The amounts in the tissue ranged from 200–1000 ng/kg fresh weight for each cytokinin and about 2–4 μg/kg fresh weight for total cytokinins. There was no apparent difference in the levels in mature but pre-senescent shoots grown in long days and short days indicating that apical senesecence in G2 peas does not appear to be induced by a decline in cytokinin level in the shoots.
