    Notes: Summary A study was carried out to determine whether beta-adrenergic hypersensitivity occurs in normal subjects following the abrupt withdrawal of the beta-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol. Sixteen normal subjects took propranolol, orally, 120 mg twice daily for one week. Heart rate and blood pressure were measured supine and standing as well as during exercise. Heart rate was measured during and following the Valsalva manoeuvre. Measurements were made on the last day of the treatment period and on two occasions during the six days following withdrawal. Three subjects were removed from the analysis because of failure to take medication and one more was excluded because of protocol variation. In the remaining twelve, propranolol treatment reduced all parameters measured. Following abrupt withdrawal of the drug, there was no measurable increase in any of the parameters above baseline or placebo values within six days of the withdrawal. These findings, from normal subjects, do not support the phenomenon of beta-adrenergic hypersensitivity following propranolol withdrawal.

    Notes: Abstract Epidermis is easily detached from both adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaf four of the Argenteum mutant of Pisum sativum L. The isolated epidermis has stomata with large, easily-measured pores. Hairs and glands are absent. The density of stomata is high and contamination by mesophyll cells is low. In the light and in CO2-free air, stomata in isolated adaxial epidermis of Argenteum mutant opened maximally after 4 h incubation at 25°C. The response of stomata to light was dependent on the concentration of KCl in the incubation medium and was maximal at 50 mol m-3 KCl. Stomata did not respond to exogenous kinetin, but apertures were reduced by incubation of epidermis on solutions containing between 10-5 and 10-1 mol m-3 abscisic acid (ABA). The responses of stomata of Argenteum mutant to light, exogenous KCl, ABA and kinetin were comparable with those described previously for stomata in isolated epidermis of Commelina communis. A method for preparing viable protoplasts of guard cells from isolated epidermis of Argenteum mutant is described. The response of guard cell protoplasts to light, exogenous KCl, ABA and kinetin were similar to those of stomata in isolated epidermis except that the increase in volume of the protoplasts in response to light was maximal at a lower concentration of KCl (10 mol m-3) and that protoplasts responded more rapidly to light than stomata in isolated epidermis. The protoplasts did not respond to exogenous kinetin, but when incubated for 1 h in the light and in CO2-free air on a solution containing 10-3 mol m-3 ABA, they decreased in volume by 30%. The advantages of using epidermis from Argenteum mutant for experiments on stomatal movements are discussed.
