    Notes: Abstract The aim of this investigation was to determine if sorgoleone (SGL), a hydrophobic compound inSorghum bicolor (L.) Moench root exudate, interferes with mitochondrial functions. Tests were conducted on mitochondria isolated from etiolated soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and corn (Zea mays L.) seedlings. The data show SGL is a potent inhibitor of state 3 and state 4 respiration rates in both soybean and corn. Using either NADH, succinate, or malate as substrate, the I50 was about 0.5μM SGL for state 3 and 5.0μM for state 4 based on 0.3–0.5 mg mitochondrial protein. Absorption spectra indicate SGL blocks electron transport at theb-c 1 complex. These data show that disruption of mitochondrial function may be a mechanism of SGL-mediated growth inhibition previously reported and demonstrate a probable role of SGL inSorghum allelopathy.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of this investigation was to determine if sorgoleone (SGL), ap-benzoquinone inSorghum bicolor root exudate, is a photosynthesis inhibitor. Assays usingGlycine max leaf disks showed concentrations as low as 10μM SGL inhibited oxygen evolution more than 50%. Tests conducted on chloroplasts isolated fromPisum sativum showed that SGL is a powerful inhibitor of CO2-dependent oxygen evolution. Using a chloroplast suspension equivalent to 80–100μg chlorophyll, the I50 was approximately 0.2μM SGL. These data indicate inhibition of photosynthesis is part of the explanation for growth reduction caused by this allelochemical.

    Notes: Abstract The impacts of juglone on plant growth and several other physiological functions were evaluated in this study. Juglone inhibitedLemna minor growth, chlorophyll content, and net photosynthesis at treatments between 10 and 40μM. Soybean leaf disks vacuum infiltrated with as little as 10μM juglone had reduced photosynthesis. Oxygen evolution by chloroplasts isolated fromPisum sativum was inhibited by juglone with an I50 of 2μM. Micromolar treatments of juglone stimulated oxygen uptake in mitochondria isolated fromGlycine max. These data suggest perturbations of chloroplast and mitochondrial functions may contribute to plant growth reductions observed in juglone-mediated allelopathy.

    Notes: Abstract Root exudates ofSorghum bicolor consist primarily of a dihydroquinone that is quickly oxidized to ap-benzoquinone named sorgoleone. The aim of this investigation was to determine the potential activity of sorgoleone as an inhibitor of weed growth. Bioassays showed 125μM sorgoleone reduced radicle elongation ofEragrostis tef. In liquid culture, 50-μM sorgoleone treatments stunted the growth ofLemna minor. Over a 10-day treatment period, 10μM sorgoleone in the nutrient medium reduced the growth of all weed seedlings tested:Abutilon theophrasti, Datura stramonium, Amaranthus retroflexus, Setaria viridis, Digitaria sanguinalis, andEchinochloa crusgalli. These data show sorgoleone has biological activity at extremely low concentrations, suggesting a strong contribution toSorghum allelopathy.

    Notes: Abstract Investigations in allelopathy often require the use of a bioassay for evaluating limited quantities of potentially active growth regulators. A bioassay procedure was developed usingL. minor grown in 1.5-ml aliquots of nutrient medium with and without allelochemicals in wells of 24-well tissue culture cluster dishes with loose-fitting lids. Tests using six replications per treatment with several flavonoid compounds and derivatives of coumarin, benzoic acid, and cinnamic acid demonstrated that the bioassay was capable of measuring inhibition at levels of compound ranging from 50 to 1000 μmol. Strongly inhibitory treatments were visible after 1 or 2 days. After 7 days of growth, frond number, growth rate, and dry weight were used to evaluate effects. The bioassay system is relatively simple, very sensitive, reproducible, and can be used for testing small amounts and dilute concentrations of unknowns which have been separated by chromatography.

    Notes: A series of seven vinyl esters of perfluoro acids has been prepared by the mercury catalyzed reaction of the acids with acetylene. Certain physical properties of the monomers are given. Homopolymers gave clear, flexible films with the exception of vinyl caprylate and caprate, which formed waxy films. Copolymerization of vinyl perfluorobutyrate proceeded readily with vinyl acetate and methyl methacrylate, but less readily with styrene, maleic anhydride, and acrylonitrile.

    Notes: The crosslinking and degradation of seven polyacrylates by 1000 kvp. electrons has been investigated. Gel content-radiation dose analysis reveals the energy dissipation per main-chain fracture, Ed, to be the same (530 ± 100 electron volts) for methyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, and tert-butyl acrylate polymers. The energy dissipation per crosslinked unit formation, Ec, is 80-90 e.v. for methyl, n-butyl, isobutyl and neopentyl acrylate polymers. Ec may be slightly higher for poly-sec-butyl acrylate. Poly-tert-butyl acrylate possesses a uniquely high Ec of 300 e.v. The presence of hydrogen atoms alpha to the alcoholic oxygen of the ester group is believed to contribute strongly to the crosslinking reactions of polyacrylates under ionizing radiations. Poly-1,1-dihydroperfluorobutyl acrylate exhibits an initial Ec of ∼45 e.v. and an Ed of ∼450 e.v. Beyond 15 megareps the ration of main-chain fracture to crosslink formation increases.

    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: Described herein are proton nmr experiments on chemically modified derivatives of ribonuclease A designed to elucidate the origin of an exchangeable resonance, assigned previously to a histidine ring N proton that titrates between 11 to 13 ppm with a pKa of 6.1 in H2O solution. Histidines 48 and 105, which are distant from the active site, are eliminated as candidates for this resonance from inhibitor binding studies on the enzyme in acetate-water solutions. This exchangeable resonance titrates with modified pKa's and constant area over the above pH range in His-119-N1-carboxymethylated-RNase A and des-(121-124)-RNase A, thus eliminating the imidazole N3 proton in the His 119-Asp 121 hydrogen bond. In His-12-N1-carboxymethylated-RNase A, this resonance is also observable, but broadens on raising the pH above 7 and at elevated temperatures above neutrality. It exhibits a pH-independent chemical shift characteristic of the protonated state of histidine. On the basis of these findings, this exchangeable resonance, designated a, is assigned to the imidazole N1 proton of His 12, which is hydrogen-bonded to the carbonyl oxygen of Thr 45 in the crystal.
