    Notes: Summary Agrobacterium tumefaciens and some Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains possess auxin biosynthesis genes (tms and aux genes respectively), responsible for a de novo auxin biosynthetic pathway in transformed plant cells. A comparison is presented of the potential expression of these genes in a monocotyledonous (barley) and a dicotyledonous plant (tobacco). The promoters of the genes were translationally fused to the β-glucuronidase reporter gene and analysed in transient expression experiments. The tms and aux fusions were highly expressed in tobacco, but not in barley. However, the aux enhancer active in tobacco, conferred low β-glucuronidase expression in barley when fused to a truncated cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. The results are discussed in relation to the differential responses to Agrobacterium infection in monocots and dicots.

    Notes: Abstract Three chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora) cultivars were cocultivated with 2 Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains in combination with 4 pBIN19 derived binary plasmids, all carrying the Nosnptll selection gene and 35Sgus(intron) reporter gene. All binary plasmids transferred DNA to chrysanthemum explants but only pMOG410 gave good stable expression of GUS. This plasmid differs from the other plasmids in 2 aspects: 1) It carries a restored nptll gene and 2) the selection gene is positioned at the left border side of the reporter gene. Cocultivation with AGLO(pMOG410) yielded up to 13 GUS positive shoots per 100 explants. The presence of the gus and nptll gene in recovered shoots was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analysis.

    Notes: Abstract Cotyledon explants of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L., cv. Amarillo Oro) seedlings were co-cultivated with disarmed Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 that contained the binary vector plasmid pBI121.1. The T-DNA region of this binary vector contains the Nopaline synthase/neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII) chimeric gene for kanamycin resistance and the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35S/β-glucuronidase (GUS) chimeric gene. After infection, the cotyledon pieces were placed in induction medium containing 100 mg/l kanamycin. Putative transformed shoots were obtained, followed by the development of morphologically normal plantlets. The transgenic nature of regenerants was demonstrated by polymerase chain reaction, Southern blot analysis, plant growth on medium selective for the transgene (NPTII) and expression of the co-transformed GUS gene. Factors affecting the transformation procedure are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The trait for somatic embryogenesis is being introduced sexually into alfalfa (Medicago sativa) breeding populations to facilitate genetic transformation of this crop. Cocultivation experiments were conducted with an agronomically-improved embryogenic clone from one such population as well as with two other embryogenic clones, one of which was the source of the embryogenic trait in the breeding populations. Transgenic plants were produced from the agronomically-improved clone whereas none were produced from the other two clones. Among the 16 transgenic plants analyzed there was a range in both copy number and number of integration sites for the NPT-II gene; those plants regenerated after a prolonged selection phase in vitro generally had the highest numbers in both respects. There was no evidence of sectoral chimerism of the transgene in a subsample of transgenic plants analyzed by PCR.

    Notes: Summary Hairy roots of Brassica napus (rape cv. Giant) were produced by cocultivating leaf and cotyledon explants with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4T. The hairy roots grew prolifically on solid and in liquid media. Incorporation of ammonium sulphate or phosphinothricin (PPT) into the media reduced growth. PPT treatment reduced glutamine synthetase (GS) activity and increased the ammonia content of the hairy roots. We have found that PPT treatment also induces a loss of glutamine from the roots and this may influence root growth. To test this we grew hairy roots in a liquid medium containing 10 mM glutamine. This glutamine treatment overcame the PPT induced suppression of growth but also significantly increased GS activity, reduced ammonia accumulation and increased the levels of glutamate and asparagine.

    Notes: Abstract Chromosomes and Ti plasmids of 41 Agrobacterium strains, belonging to biovars 1, 2, 3, and Agrobacterium rubi species were characterized by the restriction fragment length polymorphism of PCR-amplified DNAs. Profiles that were obtained by the analysis of the amplified 16S rDNA confirmed the grouping of the strains according to their species. Higher polymorphism was detected in the intergenic spacer between the 16S rDNA and 23S rDNA genes, allowing efficient discrimination of strains. Identification of most strains was possible, and the genetic relatednesses of Agrobacterium strains could be estimated. The analysis of the plasmid Ti encoded regions between the tmr and nos genes, and the virA and virB2 genes, allowed fingerprinting of Ti plasmids. Genomic typing by the rapid PCR-RFLP method is thus shown to be useful for an independant identification of strains and of the conjugative Ti plasmids.

    Notes: Abstract The chvB gene of Agrobacterium tumefaciens encodes a 235 kDa proteinaceous intermediate involved in the synthesis of β-1,2-glucan. chvB mutants show a pleiotropic phenotype. Besides not to produce cyclic β-1,2-glucan, chvB mutants have been reported to be avirulent, attachment-deficient, and nonmotile. In this study we report additional differences from the parent strain, probably all linked to changes in the cell envelope. This pleiotropic phenotype — except for attachment and virulence — could largely be prevented by growing chvB cells with low levels of calcium. Although a role for β-1,2-glucan in osmoadaptation has been proposed, the mode of action of β-1,2-glucan is not known. We speculate that in A. tumefaciens β-1,2-glucan stabilizes membranes, which would be important especially in hypotonic media containing calcium.

    Notes: Abstract Observations of the CO J=1-0 line are commonly used as a tracer for molecular material in clouds. The ratio of the H2 column density to the integrated intensity of this line,X, is often taken to be constant, despite theoretical and observational uncertainty. We have tried to identify how this ratio depends on cloud parameters, testing a simple theoretical argument suggesting its invariance with respect to density. The apparent constancy can be understood if clouds are clumpy on scales of Av ≈ 1-2 mag.

    Notes: Abstract The VirA protein ofAgrobacterium tumefaciens is thought to be a receptor for plant phenolic compounds such as acetosyringone. Although it is not known whether the interaction between VirA and the phenolics is direct or requires other phenolic-binding proteins, it is shown in this study that the first 280 amino acids of the VirA protein are not essential for the acetosyringone mediatedvir gene induction response. Considering the fact that the cytoplasmic region between the amino acids 283 and 304 is highly conserved between the different VirA proteins, and that deletion of this region abolishes VirA activity, we suggest that the acetosyringone receptor domain is located in this cytoplasmic domain of the VirA protein.

    Notes: Abstract The newpPZP Agrobacterium binary vectors are versatile, relatively small, stable and are fully sequenced. The vectors utilize the pTiT37 T-DNA border regions, the pBR322bom site for mobilization fromEscherichia coli toAgrobacterium, and the ColE1 and pVS1 plasmid origins for replication inE. coli and inAgrobacterium, respectively. Bacterial marker genes in the vectors confer resistance to chloramphenicol (pPZP100 series) or spectinomycin (pPZP200 series), allowing their use inAgrobacterium strains with different drug resistance markers. Plant marker genes in the binary vectors confer resistance to kanamycin or to gentamycin, and are adjacent to the left border (LB) of the transferred region. A lacZ α-peptide, with the pUC18 multiple cloning site (MCS), lies between the plant marker gene and the right border (RB). Since the RB is transferred first, drug resistance is obtained only if the passenger gene is present in the transgenic plants.

    Notes: Abstract An antisense approach was used to attempt to determine the function of the highly abundant, tapetum-specific A9 transcript in microsporogenesis. A Brassica napus A9 cDNA clone was linked in sense and antisense orientations to the Arabidopsis thaliana A9 promoter and the resulting chimaeric genes introduced into B. napus. A high proportion of the offspring of B. napus antisense A9 plants had very low or undetectable levels of A9 mRNA. However, these plants set seed and had pollen of normal or near normal viability. Therefore, under the conditions studied, the A9 protein appears not to be essential for male fertility in B. napus.

    Purification and partial characterization of a glycoprotein from pea (Pisum sativum) with receptor activity for rhicadhesin, an attachment protein of Rhizobiaceae (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Attachment of Rhizobium and Agrobacterium bacteria to cells of their host plants is a two-step process. The first step, direct attachment of bacteria to the plant cell wall, is mediated by the bacterial protein rhicadhesin. A putative plant receptor molecule for rhicadhesin was purified from cell walls of pea roots using a bioassay based on suppression of rhicadhesin activity. This molecule appeared to be sensitive to treatments with pronase or glycosidase. Its isoelectric point is 6.4, and its apparent molecular mass was estimated to be 32 kDa before and 29 kDa after glycosidase treatment, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and ultrafiltration. The sequence of the first 29 N-terminal amino acids was determined: A-D-A-D-A-L-Q-D-L-C(?)-V-A-D-Y-A-S-V-I-L-V-N-G-F-A-S-K(Q)-(P/Q)-(L)-(I). No homology with known proteins was found. In the course of this research project the extracellular matrix protein vitronectin was reported to inhibit attachment of A. tumefaciens to carrot cells [29]. A variety of adhesive proteins, including vitronectin, contain a common cell attachment determinant with the sequence R-G-D. Since we could not detect other cell wall components able to suppress rhicadhesin activity, and since an R-G-D containing hexapeptide was also active as a receptor, we speculate that the plant receptor for rhicadhesin is a glycoprotein containing an R-G-D attachment site.

    Notes: Abstract Dehiscence of oilseed rape pods, commonly known as pod shatter, is a process of agronomic importance that results in seed loss causing yield reductions and carry-over of the crop into the following growing season. In an effort to understand the mechanisms underlying this developmental event, the changes in gene expression that accompany pod shatter have been examined with a view to understanding how the process is regulated. In order to achieve this, a cDNA library was constructed using mRNA extracted from the dehiscence zone of developing pods. Differential screening with non-dehiscence zone cDNA led to the isolation of a pod-specific clone, SAC25, with a transcript size of 1100 nucleotide encoding a predicted polypeptide of 34 kDa. The level of SAC25 mRNA accumulation increased during pod development. The sequence shows no significant homology to others within the databases but has two identifiable amino acid motifs, one is an adenine nucleotide binding site for NAD/FAD dehydrogenases and the other is a conserved feature of the ribitol dehydrogenase family. The amino acid sequence has four putative glycosylation sites and contains four cysteine residues. Genomic Southern analysis indicates that SAC25 may be encoded by a single gene or a small gene family. The function of this mRNA is unknown but possible roles in dehiscence and pod development are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract In Brassica napus, oleosins are expressed at high levels in the seed during the latter stages of embryo development. The cis-acting regulatory properties of an 872 bp promoter fragment of a B. napus oleosin gene were examined by analysis of β-glucuronidase (GUS) expression in transgenic tobacco plants containing an oleosin promoter-GUS transcriptional fusion. The reporter gene was expressed at high levels only in seeds, specifically in embryo and endosperm tissue and regulated throughout seed development. These data demonstrate that oleosin gene transcription is regulated in a tissue-specific and temporally regulated manner and clearly indicate that oleosin protein expression is co-ordinated primarily at the transcriptional level. Oleosin mRNA was shown to be abscisic acid (ABA) inducible and an ABA-response element in the oleosin promoter was shown to be bound by a protein factor in a sequence-specific manner. Sequence analysis of the oleosin promoter has identified several other putative cis-acting sequences which may direct oleosin gene expression. The presence of a large open reading frame in the bottom strand of the oleosin promoter (ORF2) which encodes a polypeptide similar to the ethylene-induced E4 gene of tomato is reported. A PCR-generated DNA probe containing the ORF2 sequence hybridised with a 1.4 kb transcript in total RNA extracts of a variety of tissues, including leaves and germinated seed cotyledons. This finding suggests that the oleosin gene promoter directs transcription in both directions. It is the first report of a bi-directional nuclear gene promoter in plants.

    Notes: Abstract The expression of mRNA and the steady-state levels of two-component enzymes of plant fatty acid synthetase (FAS) were studied. Northern analysis of enoyl-ACP reductase (ER) and stearoyl-ACP desaturase (SD) gene expression showed that steady-state levels of both transcripts increase during lipid deposition in the seed reaching a maximum at 29 days after flowering (DAF). The steady-state level of ER message falls very quickly after reaching its maximum, whereas the SD message is longer-lived. The levels of these specific mRNAs in seed are 15–30 times greater than in leaf. Optimum mRNA expression precedes the maximum levels of synthesis of the two proteins, which in turn precede the maximum level of oil. The expression of isoenzymes of ER were examined by two-dimensional western blotting in both leaf and seed tissue. Four enzymes are expressed in both of these tissues; the two most abundant isoforms in seed material are also the most abundant in leaf tissue.

    Notes: Abstract To manipulate the quantity and quality of storage components in Brassica napus seeds, we have constructed an antisense gene for the storage protein napin. The antisense gene was driven by the 5′-flanking region of the B. napus napin gene to express antisense RNA in a seed-specific manner. Seeds of transgenic plants with antisense genes often contained reduced amounts of napin. In some transgenic plants, no accumulation of napin was observed. However, the total protein content of transgenic and wild-type seeds did not differ significantly. Seeds lacking napin accumulated 1.4 to 1.5 times more cruciferin than untransformed seeds, although the oleosin content was not affected. Fatty acid content and composition in the seeds of transgenic plants were also analyzed by gas chromatography. Though the total fatty acid content of the transformants was the same as that of non-transformants, there was a reduction in 18:1 contents and a concomitant increase of 18:2 in seeds with reduced napin levels. This observed change in fatty acid composition was inherited in the next generation.

    Notes: Abstract A cDNA clone (bra) encoding a small GTP-binding protein was isolated from Brassica napus by screening a root cDNA library with a degenerate oligonucleotide probe that corresponds to a highly conserved GTP-binding domain of the Ras superfamily. Sequence analysis shows that the clone contains an open reading frame of 219 amino acid residues with the estimated molecular mass of 24379 Da and this coding region contains all the conserved motifs of the Ras superfamily. The deduced amino acid sequence of the bra gene is most closely related to the Ypt/Rab family that functions in the vesicular transport (46% and 47% amino acid identity to the yeast Ypt1 and to the human Rab1, respectively) and is more distantly related to the other Ras-related families. The protein encoded by the bra gene, when expressed in Escherichia coli, shows the ability to bind GTP. Furthermore, when the bra gene is introduced into Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the regulation of the yeast GAL1 promoter, the gene can complement the temperature-sensitive yeast mutation ypt1-1 that has defects in vesicular transport function. The amino acid sequence similarity and the functional complementation of the yeast mutation suggest that this gene is likely to be involved in the vesicular transport in plants. Genomic Southern analysis shows that this gene is a member of a small gene family in Brassica napus.

    Notes: Abstract The expression of the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) retrotransposon Tntl has previously been shown to be strongly regulated and driven from the 5′ long terminal repeat (LTR). We report here that the Tntl LTR can promote activity of the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene in two heterologous species of the Brassicaceae family, namely rapessed (Brassica napus) and Arabidopsis thaliana. The translational LTR-GUS fusion was active in transient expression studies performed with tobacco and rapeseed protoplasts, indicating that the LTR sequences are recognized in heterologous species. Our results also showed that Tntl LTR-promoted GUS expression in transgenic Arabidopsis is strongly regulated, and that, in contrast to tobacco, hormonal activation plays a significant role in the expression of the Tntl LTR in Arabidopsis. LTR sequences were shown to be more effective than the CaMV 35S enhancer region in transient expression studies performed with tobacco or rapessed protoplasts; and substitution of the LTR sequences upstream from the major transcriptional start with the CaMV 35S enhancer region gave high levels of expression in transgenic tobacco and Arabidopsis leaves, suggesting that a Tntl element with similar substitutions in its 5′ LTR might be suited for gene-tagging experiments in heterologous species.

    Notes: Abstract A partial cDNA clone, Pis 63, corresponding to a mRNA highly expressed in Brassica napus pistils, was isolated by differential screening. PCR was used to complete the Pis 63 sequence (Pis 63-1) and to obtain the sequence of another related cDNA (Pis 63-2). Northern blot and in situ analyses demonstrated that these transcripts are expressed in the stigma throughout flower development. Pis 63-1 and Pis 63-2 display similarity to a cotton fibre cDNA clone.

    Notes: Abstract Brassica napus cv. Topas microspores can be diverted from pollen development toward haploid embryo formation in culture by subjecting them to a heat stress treatment. We show that this switch in developmental pathways is accompanied by the induction of high levels of napin seed storage protein gene expression. Changes in the plant growth or microspore culture conditions were not by themselves sufficient to induce napin gene expression. Specific members of the napin multigene family were cloned from a cDNA library prepared from microspores that had been induced to undergo embryogenesis. The majority of napin clones represented three members (BnmNAP2, BnmNAP3 and BnmNAP4) that, along with a previously isolated napin genomic clone (BngNAP1), constitute the highly conserved BnmNAP subfamily of napin genes. Both RNA gel blot analysis, using a subfamily-specific probe, and histochemical analysis of transgenic plants expressing a BngNAP1 promoter-β-glucuronidase gene fusion demonstrated that the BnmNAP subfamily is expressed in embryogenic microspores as well as during subsequent stages of microsporic embryo development.

    Notes: Abstract A cDNA encoding an acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) homologue has been cloned from a λgt11 library made from mRNA isolated from developing seeds of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). The derived amino acid sequence reveals a protein 92 amino acids in length which is highly conserved when compared with ACBP sequences from yeast, cow, man and fruit fly. Southern blot analysis ofBrassica napus genomic DNA revealed the presence of 6 genes, 3 derived from theBrassica rapa parent and 3 fromBrassica oleracea. Northern blot analysis showed that ACBP genes are expressed strongly in developing embryo, flowers and cotyledons of seedlings and to a lesser extent in leaves and roots.

    Notes: Summary A simple and efficient gene transfer system of trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata Raf.) was developed using epicotyl segments. The segments were infected with Agrobacterium harboring the binary vector pBI121 or pBI101-O12-p1. Both vectors contained the neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII) and the β-glucuronidase (GUS) genes. In the plasmid pBI101-O12-p1, the GUS gene was directed to the promoter region of ORF12 (rolC) of the Ri plasmid. On a selection medium containing 100 or 200 μg/ml kanamycin, adventitious shoots were formed from 21.7–44.6% of the segments. Histochemical GUS assay showed that 55.4–87.7% of the shoots expressed the GUS gene. The stable integration of this gene was also confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis and by Southern blot analysis. When the pBI101-O12-p1 plasmid was used, the GUS activity was found to be located in phloem cells of leaf, stem and root. More than 100 transformed plants were obtained using this method within 2–3 months.

    Notes: Summary Hairy roots of Brassica napus (rape cv. Giant) have been produced that contain the cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS) gene from Glycine max (soybean). Leaf explants were cocultivated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4T harbouring the binary vector pLN16. This vector was constructed by inserting a soybean cytosolic GS cDNA into the multiple cloning site of pGA643, placing it under the control of the CaMV promoter. In addition, the T-DNA region of pLN16 contained a NPTII gene for selection of transformed cells. Transgenic hairy roots grew prolifically on hormone-free media containing a selective level of kanamycin. Southern and northern analyses confirmed the presence of soybean GS DNA and transcripts, respectively. These transformed hairy roots also have a greater abundance of the GS polypeptide, approximately 3–6 fold greater GS activity and lower levels of endogenous ammonia. Hairy roots provide a useful system for studying responses to phosphinothricin (PPT). Hairy roots grown in media containing PPT had lower GS activity, greater ammonia accumulation and slower growth than controls. The presence of the soybean GS gene in the hairy roots reduced these PPT-induced effects and resulted in higher GS activity, lower ammonia levels and faster growth than in PPT-treated controls. Greater tolerance of PPT was also seen in shoots regenerated from the hairy roots displaying elevated levels of GS activity.

    Notes: Abstract RAPDs (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNAs) were used to discriminate among 23 cultivars of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) selected from several breeding programs. A set of 100 random sequence 10-mer primers were tested, of which 70 produced bands and 22 showed evidence of polymorphism. A selection of six primers produced 23 polymorphic bands of between 300 to 2200 base pairs in size, sufficient to distinguish between the cultivars. An analysis of seed of five cultivars obtained from four different sites showed stability of banding pattern over source of seed. The analysis was repeated using four different thermocyclers, each of which produced the same band pattern. UPGMA cluster analysis indicates that the relationships among some of the cultivars is closer for those from the same breeding program than for those from different programs. The results of this study show that RAPDs can be used as a method of identification for oilseed rape cultivars.

    Notes: Abstract RFLP and RAPD markers were evaluated and compared for their ability to determine genetic relationships in a set of three B. napus breeding lines. Using a total of 50 RFLP and 92 RAPD markers, the relatedness between the lines was determined. In total, the RFLP and the RAPD analysis revealed more than 500 and 400 bands, respectively. The relative frequencies of loci with allele differences were estimated from the band data. The RFLP and RAPD marker sets detected very similar relationships among the three lines, consistent with known pedigree data. Bootstrap analyses showed that the use of approximately 30 probes or primers would have been sufficient to achieve these relationships. This indicates that RAPD markers have the same resolving power as RFLP markers when used on exactly the same set of B. napus genotypes. Since RAPD markers are easier and quicker to use, these markers may be preferred in applications where the relationships between closely-related breeding lines are of interest. The use of RAPD markers in fingerprinting applications may, however, not be warranted, and this is discussed in relation to the reliability of RAPD markers.

    Notes: Abstract Transgenic petunia (Petunia hybrida Vilm.) plants were obtained from Agrobacterium-mediated shoot apex transformation. Studies at the phenotypic as well as molecular level established both the presence of the NPT II (neomycin phosphotransferase II) and GUS (β-glucuronidase) genes and their level of activity. Twenty-nine primary transformed plants showed varying patterns of phenotype expression of both genes. NPT II and GUS expression in 7 primary plants over a 4-month interval showed varying levels of gene expression within and among individual plants. All primary transgenic plants were self-pollinated and backcrossed to establish the inheritance patterns of both genes. Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance patterns for both genes were observed. Analysis of the progeny showed poor transmission of the foreign genes through the pollen especially when two or more bands were present in the Southern hybridization. Most plants whose progeny segregated in Mendelian ratios for either the NPT II or GUS gene had just one copy of the gene. In this study where both foreign genes were examined in both self and test crosses, no transgenic plant showed Mendelian patterns of inheritance for both foreign traits.

    Notes: Abstract Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is an important oilseed crop worldwide. Cultivars have been developed for many growing regions, however little is known about genetic diversity inB. napus germ plasm. The purpose of the research presented here was to study the genetic diversity and relationships ofB. napus accessions using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Eighty threeB. napus accessions were screened using 43 genomic DNA clones which revealed 161 polymorphic fragments. Each accession was uniquely identified by the markers with the exception of the near-isogenic cvs ‘Triton’ and ‘Tower’. The RFLP data were analyzed by cluster analysis of similarity coefficients and by principal component analysis. Overall, there were three major groups of cultivars. The first group included only spring accessions, the second mostly winter accessions and the third, rutabagas and oilseed rape accessions from China and Japan. These results indicate that withinB. napus, winter and spring cultivars represent genetically distinct groups. The grouping of accessions by cluster analysis was generally consistent with known pedigrees. This consistency included the grouping of lines derived both by backcrossing or self-pollination with their parents.

    Notes: Abstract An effective selection system preceded by double inactivation of parental protoplasts was used to transfer Nicotiana suaveolens Leh. cytoplasmic male sterility into a commercial tobacco (N. tabacum L.) breeding line. Mesophyll protoplasts from transformed plants of N. tabacum cultivar WZ2-3-1-1 possessing a neomycin phosphotransferase II gene were used as the nuclear donors, while those isolated from N. suaveolens plants carrying a chloroplast mutation for resistance to spectinomycin, induced using nitrosomethyl urea, were the cytoplasm donors in somatic cybridizations. Prior to fusion, nuclear donor protoplasts were inactivated with iodoacetamide or rhodamine 6G, while those of the cytoplasm donor were inactivated by X-irradiation. The resultant microcalli were cultured on a shoot regeneration medium containing both kanamycin and spectinomycin to select cybrids. Only regenerants that had typical characteristics of the N. tabacum cultivar were selected for transfer to the glasshouse. Four putative cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) plants, out of a total of 44 regenerated plants transferred to the glasshouse, were obtained. Intraspecific somatic transfers of the CMS trait between N. tabacum cultivars with distinctlydifferent morphologies using single inactivation and nonselective shoot regeneration medium were demonstrated. The implications of the results for practical tobacco breeding as a means of circumventing lengthy backcrossing procedures are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Bulked segregant analysis was employed to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers linked to the restorer gene (Rfo) used in theOgura radish cytoplasmic male sterility of rapeseed. A total of 138 arbitrary 10-mer oligonucleotide primers were screened on the DNA of three pairs of bulks, each bulk corresponding to homozygous restored and male sterile plants of three segregating populations. Six primers produced repeatable polymorphisms between paired bulks. DNA from individual plants of each bulk was then used as a template for amplification with these six primers. DNA polymorphisms generated by four of these primers were found to be completely linked to the restorer gene with the polymorphic DNA fragments being associated either with the fertility restorer allele or with the sterility maintainer allele. Pairwise cross-hybridization demonstrated that the four polymorphic DNA fragments did not share any homology. Southern hybridization of labelled RAPD fragments on digested genomic DNA from the same three pairs of bulks revealed fragments specific to either the male sterile bulks or to the restored bulks and a few fragments common to all bulks, indicating that the amplified sequences are low copy. The four RAPD fragments that were completely linked to the restorer locus have been cloned and sequenced to develop sequence characterized amplified regions (SCARs). This will facilitate the construction of restorer lines used in breeding programs and is the first step towards map-based cloning of the fertility restorer allele.

    Notes: Abstract We have developed an efficient PCR-based system that uses RAPD markers for the certification of F1 hybrids of canola. These markers were selected by screening five parental lines used in three crosses X, Y and Z with 131, 131 and 322 primers respectively. Stable DNA fragments that were homozygous and specific to the male inbreds were used to certify F1 hybrid populations. The hybrid production system was based on self-incompatibility (SI) alleles that prevent self-pollination of the female parent. The efficiency of two S-alleles was compared under both field and greenhouse conditions. The percentage of hybridity was estimated in different F1 populations. We found a significant difference between the two alleles for their efficiency in controlling selfing; both alleles were stable under greenhouse conditions, one allele appeared less reliable under field conditions.

    Notes: Abstract A procedure for culturing protoplasts from slowly growing embryogenic calli of wheat was developed. The procedure was dependent on the ability to isolate large numbers of culturable protoplasts from slowly growing embryogenic callus. Approximately 68% of the isolated protoplasts divided, and 22% formed colonies; of the latter, 67% continued to proliferate. Plating efficiency was reduced when protoplasts were transformed by polythylene glycol, electroporation, and/or Agrobacterium. Intact cells were also directly transformed by electroporation. Direct electroporation of the Agrobacterium binary vector into intact cells resulted in a significant increase of GUS activity over the control.

    Notes: Abstract The combined use of doubled haploid lines and molecular markers can provide new genetic information for use in breeding programs. An F1-derived doubled haploid (DH) population of Brassica napus obtained from a cross between an annual canola cultivar (‘Stellar’) and a biennial rapeseed (‘Major’) was used to construct a linkage map of 132 restriction fragment length polymorphism loci. The marker loci were arranged into 22 linkage groups and six pairs of linked loci covering 1016 cM. The DH map was compared to a partial map constructed with a common set of markers for an F2 population derived from the same F1 plant, and the overall maps were not significantly different. Comparisons of maps in Brassica species suggest that less recombination occurs in B. napus (n = 19) than expected from the combined map distances of the two hypothesized diploid progenitors, B. oleracea (n = 9) and B. rapa (n=10). A high percentage (32%) of segregating marker loci were duplicated in the DH map, and conserved linkage arrangements of some duplicated loci indicated possible intergenome homoeology in the amphidiploid or intragenome duplications from the diploid progenitors. Deviation from Mendelian segregation ratios (P 〈 0.05) was observed for 30% of the marker loci in the DH population and for 24% in the F2 population. Deviation towards each parent occurred at equal frequencies in both populations and marker loci that showed deviation clustered in specific linkage groups. The DH lines and molecular marker map generated for this study can be used to map loci for agronomic traits segregating in this population.

    Notes: Abstract Rapeseed plants, of the summer annual variety Topas, that had been selfed twice consecutively were compared to outcrossed half-sibs for inbreeding depression in a rapeseed population at mating equilibrium. The effect of dominance-suppression competition was included in the effect of inbreeding. Both female-and male-fitness characters showed significant inbreeding depression. Biomass decreased 17% with inbreeding and was highly correlated with seed weight. The total number of flowers decreased 15% with inbreeding. There was a significant effect of lines. The possible importance of experimental design in studies that estimate inbreeding depression is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The cytological possibility of gene transfer from Sinapis pubescens to Brassica napus was investigated. Intergeneric hybrids between Brassica napus (2n = 38) and Sinapis pubescens (2n = 18) were produced through ovary culture. The F1 hybrids were dihaploid and the chromosome configurations were (0–1) III + (2–11) II + (5–24) I . One F2 plant with 38 chromosomes was obtained from open pollination of the F1 hybrid. Thirty-one seeds were obtained from the backcross of the F2 plant with B. napus. Five out of seven plants had 38 chromosomes, and the pollen stainability ranged from 0% to 81.4%. In the B2 plants obtained from the backcross of B1 plants with B. napus, 66.7% of the plants examined had 38 chromosomes. S. pubescens may become a gene source for the improvement of B. napus.

    Notes: Abstract Transformation frequencies were determined for 1n, 2n, and 4n Nicotiana plumbaginifolia protoplast cultures inAgrobacterium-mediated gene transfer experiments. An unexpected large drop (50%) in plating efficiencies was observed in the non-selected (control) 1n populations after transformation treatment with virulent strains. This effect was not observed in the 2n or 4n cultures or in the 1n cultures when treated with avirulent bacteria. The mortality was disproportionally high and could not be explained by the low (0.1–0.5%) transformation efficiency in the 1n population, indicating mutagenesis of the cell populations independently from the T-DNA insertions. Mutagenesis was also indicated in gene tagging experiments where nitrate reductase-deficient (NR−) mutants were selected from haploidNicotiana plumbaginifolia protoplasts, as well as from leaf disc cultures or protoplasts of diploid plants that were heterozygotic for a mutation either in the NR apoenzyme gene (nia/wt) or one of the molybdenum-containing cofactor genes (cnxA/wt), afterAgrobacterium co-cultivation. The chlorate-resistant isolates were tested for the T-DNA-specific kanamycin resistance trait only after NR-deficiency had been established. Thirty-nine independent NR-deficient mutants were analysed further by Southern blot hybridization. There was no indication of integrated T-DNA sequences in the mutated NR genes, despite the fact that NR-deficient cells were found more frequently in cell populations which became transformed during the treatment than in the populations which did not. These observations suggest that transformation-competent cells undergo mutagenesis during theAgrobacterium gene transfer process not only as a result of stable integration events, but also through accompanying events that do not result in major changes in the mutated loci. The nature of these changes at the molecular level remains to be elucidated.

    Opportunities for gene transfer from transgenic oilseed rape (Brassica napus) to related species (1994)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Before novel transgenic plant genotypes are grown outside containment facilities and evaluated under field conditions, it is necessary to complete a risk assessment to consider the possible consequences of that release. An important aspect of risk assessment is to consider the likelihood and consequences of the transgene being transferred by cross-pollination to related species, including other crops, weeds and ruderal populations. The purpose of this report is to review the literature to assess the ease with whichBrassica napus can hybridize with related species. The evidence for hybridization is considered at three levels: a) by open pollination, b) by hand pollination and c) by the use ofin vitro ovule and embryo rescue techniques; and also examines the fertility and vigour of the F1, F2 and backcross generations. Four species are reported to hybridize withB. napus by open pollination:B. rapa andB. juncea using fully fertile parents; andB. adpressa andR. raphanistrum using a male-sterileB. napus parent. Seventeen species are reported to form hybrids (including the four species above) withB. napus when pollination is carried out manually. At least 12 of these species were unable to form F2 progeny, and eight were unable to produce progeny when the F1 was backcrossed to one of the parental species. Many factors will influence the success of hybridization under field conditions, including: distance between the parents, synchrony of flowering, method of pollen spread, specific parental genotypes used, direction of the cross and the environmental conditions. Even where there is a possibility of hybridization betweenB. napus and a related species growing in the vicinity of a release, poor vigour and high sterility in the hybrids will generally mean that hybrids and their progeny will not survive in either an agricultural or natural habitat.

    Notes: Abstract For several models expressing theuidA orgus reporter gene with or without a presequence for mitochondrial targeting, we have demonstrated that the compartmentation of β-glucuronidase (E.C. 3.2.1.31) activity was not in agreement within situ localization of the diX-indigo microcrystals generated by the cytoenzymological GUS assay. These crystals were generally associated with the various cytomembranes and lipid inclusions. Experiments with purified β-glucuronidase or withgus-expressing bacteria incubated with 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-d-glucuronide and maize oil-phosphate buffer emulsion indicated that the intermediate products resulting from the GUS assay actively diffused and crystallized preferentially in association with lipids, sometimes far from the site of enzyme activity. This phenomenon could not be suppressed by the addition of potassium ferricyanide in the incubation medium. These findings are discussed with regard to previously reported biochemical and histochemical data on animal tissues, and focus on the necessity for caution in studies of tissue-specific gene expression using the GUS assay, particularly for lipid-rich plant models.

    Notes: Summary The organization of actin microfilaments (MFs) was studied during pollen development ofBrassica napus cv. Topas. Cells were prepared using three techniques and double labelled for fluorescence microscopy with rhodamine-labelled phalloidin for MFs and Hoechst 33258 for DNA. Microfilaments are present at all stages of pollen development with the exception of tricellular pollen just prior to anthesis. Unicellular microspores contain MFs which radiate from the surface of the nuclear envelope into the cytoplasm. During mitosis MFs form a network partially surrounding the mitotic apparatus and extend into the cytoplasm. Both cytoplasmic and phragmoplast-associated MFs are present during cytokinesis. Nuclear associated-, cytoplasmic, and randomly oriented cortical MFs appear in the vegetative cell of the bicellular microspore. Cortical MFs in the vegetative cell organize into parallel MF bundles (MFBs) aligned transverse to the furrows. The MFBs disappear prior to microspore elongation. At anthesis MFs are restricted to the cortical areas subjacent to the furrows of the vegetative cell. The use of cytochalasin D to disrupt MF function resulted in: (1) displacement of the acentric nucleus in the unicellular microspore; (2) displacement of the spindle apparatus in the mitotic cell; (3) symmetrical growth of the bicellular microspore rather than elongation and (4) inhibition of pollen tube germination in the mature pollen grain. This suggests that MFs play an important role in anchoring the nucleus in the unicellular microspore as well as the spindle apparatus during microspore mitosis, in microspore shape determination and in pollen tube germination.

    Notes: Abstract Artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone endoperoxide isolated fromArtemisia annua L., and a number of its semisynthetic derivatives have shown to possess antimalarial properties. They are all eflective againstPlasmodium parasites that are resistant to the newest and commonly used antimalarial drugs. This article gives a survey of the literature dealing with artemisinin-relaled antimalarial issues that have appeared from the end of 1989 up to the beginning of 1994. A broad range of medical and pharmaceutical disciplines is covered, including phytochemical aspects like the selection of high-producing plants, analytical procedures, and plant biotechnology. Furthermore, the organic synthesis of artemisinin derivatives is discussed, as well as their mechanism of action and antimalarial activity, metabolism and pharmacokinetics, clinical studies, sideeffects and toxicology, and biological activities other than antimalarial activity.

    Notes: Abstract The NocR protein of Agrobacterium tumefaciens was found to regulate expression of the divergently transcribed nocB and nocR genes of the pTiT37 nopaline catabolism (noc) region. Experiments using the firefly luciferase (luc) gene as reporter demonstrated that NocR represses and activates transcription from the nocB promoter in the absence and presence of nopaline, respectively. NocR also negatively autoregulates its own synthesis irrespective of the presence of nopaline. Regulation of expression of both nocB and nocR is mediated by binding of the NocR protein to the nocR promoter. A 12 by symmetrical sequence, which lies 3 by downstream of the −10 hexamer of the nocR promoter, was confirmed to be essential for binding of the NocR protein. Functional localization of the nocB and nocR promoters verified that they do not overlap at all, and that the interrupted dyad, at which NocR binds, is 137 by upstream of the regulated nocB promoter. The in vivo and in vitro results described here and those published previously suggest that a novel type of regulatory mechanism, which may involve changes in DNA topology, controls gene expression in the noc operon of pTiT37.

    Notes: Abstract The Ti plasmid of the Agrobacterium vitis nopaline-type strain AB4 was subcloned and mapped. Several regions of the 157 kb Ti plasmid are similar or identical to parts of the A. vitis octopine/cucumopine (o/c)-type Ti plasmids, and other regions are homologous to the nopaline-type Ti plasmid pTiC58. The T-DNA of pTiAB4 is a chimaeric structure of recent origin: the left part is 99.2% homologous to the left part of the TA-DNA of the o/c-type Ti plasmids, while the right part is 97.1 % homologous to the right part of an unusual nopaline T-DNA recently identified in strain 82.139, a biotype Il strain from wild cherry. The 3′ non-coding regions of the ipt genes from pTiAB4 and pTi82.139 are different from those of other ipt genes and contain a 62 by fragment derived from the coding sequence of an ipt gene of unknown origin. A comparison of different ipt gene sequences indicates that the corresponding 62 by sequence within the coding region of the AB4 ipt gene has been modified during the course of its evolution, apparently by sequence transfer from the 62 by sequence in the 3′ non-coding region. In pTi82.139 the original coding region of the ipt gene has remained largely unmodified. The pTiAB4 6b gene differs from its pTi82.139 counterpart by the lack of a 12 by repeat in the 3′ part of the coding sequence. This leads to the loss of four glutamic acid residues from a series of ten. In spite of these differences, the ipt and 6b genes of pTiAB4 are functional. Our results provide new insight into the evolution of Agrobacterium Ti plasmids and confirm the remarkable plasticity of these genetic elements. Possible implications for the study of bacterial phylogeny are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The symbiosis between vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi and host plants develops after successful interactions between both partners. These interactions probably involve signal molecules produced by the host plant, by the fungi, or by both. So far the biotrophic status of VAM fungi has hampered the understanding of the processes regulating their physiology. However, among different methods for co-cultivating VAM fungi, root organ cultures (ROC) appear to be a useful technique for studying VAM development. This system has been useful in defining the nutritional requirements of VAM fungi in the precolonization stage and in obtaining axenic fungal material in various developmental stages. The work discussed here focuses on the application of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology and the potential of promoting hyphal growth in the absence of the plant. These techniques are being used to study VAM fungi in two main areas. The first concerns the determination of the DNA sequences coding for the SSU ribosomal RNA of two VAM fungi. This approach has allowed the design of specific primers for the rapid identification and quantification of VAM fungi. The second area of research concerns the potential use of PCR technology to study selective expression of specific genes during fungal spore development in defined in vitro conditions. The achievement of this future prospect depends on the ability to prepare PCR-based cDNA libraries from small amounts of fungal material after stimulation of hyphal growth with CO2 and plant flavonols.

    Notes: Abstract Hairy root cultures of Atropa belladonna L. were established by infection either with Agrobacterium rhizogenes ATCC 15834 or MAFF 03-01724, and transgenic plants were obtained from both hairy root cultures. Doubly transformed roots were induced by re-infection of the leaf segments of transgenic Atropa belladonna plants (A. rhizogenes 15834) with MAFF 03-01724. Shoots and viviparous leaves were regenerated from the doubly transformed roots. The genetic transformation was determined by the opine assay (agropine, mannopine and/or mikimopine) and polymerase chain reaction. Physiological changes and tropane alkaloid biosynthesis in the hairy roots (singly and doubly transformed) were investigated. The alkaloid content in the doubly transformed root strain was intermediate as compared to the root strains which were singly transformed. On the other hand endogenous IAA levels in doubly transformed roots were significantly decreased compared to both singly transformed roots.

    Notes: Summary Improved oil, protein and fibre contents are associated with light seed colour in rapeseed but the lack of reliable and efficient methods to measure seed colour has hindered breeding efforts for this trait. The feasibility of using light reflectance to assess seed colour in Brassica napus was examined using scanning light reflectance spectrophotometry and near infrared reflectance (NIR). Light reflectance by seed samples from 30 doubled haploid (DH) lines segregating for seed colour increased as the wavelength of the illuminating light in the scanning spectrophotometer increased between 550 and 650 nm. The largest reflectance values were measured for the yellow seed samples; the brown seed samples were intermediate and the black seed samples had the lowest reflectance values. The areas under the reflectance curves were used to transform the spectra to single values. Average light reflectance area values for the seed colour classes were significantly different from each other. The DHs and their corresponding light reflectance area values were also used to calibrate a NIR analyzer modified with 670 and 710 nm filters. The best calibration curve used three wavelengths (670, 2190 and 2208 nm) and had a multiple correlation coefficient of 0.987. Light reflectance area values determined with the calibrated NIR analyzer for 30 randomly selected breeding lines could be used to categorize the colour of the seed samples with no discrepancies between the visual and instrument classifications. The results indicate that NIR can be used to assess seed colour in rapeseed.

    Notes: Abstract Foliar treatment of oilseed rape plants (Brassica napus L.ssp. napus cv. Linetta) with the growth retardant BAS 111..W at the 5th leaf stage delayed pod senescence during early maturation. Changes of immunoreactive cytokinin- and abscisic acid (ABA)- like substances and of the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclo-propane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and its malonyl-conjugate (MACC) were determined in intact whole pods. When compared with control plants, higher levels of total chlorophyll correlated with four-fold and three-fold increases of trans-zeatin riboside- and dihydrozeatin riboside-type cytokinins, respectively, in the pods of plants treated with 0.25 mg BAS 111..W per plant. Isopentenyladenosine-type cytokinins and ACC and MACC contents remained virtually unchanged, whereas ABA levels dropped considerably below those of controls (60% reduction). However, when analysed at late pod maturity, BAS 111..W treatment no longer affected the total chlorophyll content, or the levels of cytokinins, ABA, ACC and MACC. We hypothesize that the retardant-induced changes in the hormonal status of the pods, favouring the senescence-delaying cytokinins as opposed to abscisic acid, could contribute to the developmental delay.

Although the trial showed high-parent heterosis in the syn-1s, there was insufficient replication to determine the level of heterosis.

    Notes: Summary The effect of colchicine on isolated microspore cultures of Brassica napus was evaluated in order to combine a positive effect of colchicine on the induction of embryogenesis with the possibility to induce chromosome doubling at an early developmental stage, thus avoiding the production of haploid or chimeric plants. Colchicine was added to the culture medium immediately after isolation of B. napus microspores. The cultures were incubated from 6 to 72 h with various concentrations of colchicine. Samples were taken from the regenerating embryoids after 6 weeks for ploidy determination by flow-cytometry. The highest diploidization rate was obtained after a 24 h treatment of microspores with 50 mg/l colchicine, leading to 80–90% diploid embroids. A concentration of 100 mg/l colchicine applied for the same duration resulted in a lower diploidization rate (76–80%). Treatment durations of 6 h were not long enough to induce a high rate of diploidization, whereas the application of 10 mg/l for 72 h was also very effective. A sample of the plants regenerated from the colchicine treated microspores was transferred to the greenhouse. The plants looked similar to normal diploid rapeseed plants and showed reasonable pod and seed set. Thus, an additional generation for seed increase in the greenhouse is rendered unnecessary. The advantage of applying a minimum volume of colchicine under controlled in vitro conditions means a considerable saving of time and labour in DH-breeding programs.

    Description / Table of Contents: Positive und negative Photostrukturen wurden in einem Polyimid (PI) aus 4,4′-Biphthalsäureanhydrid (BPA) und 4,4′-Diamino-3,3′-dimethyldiphenylmethan (DADMDPM), PI(BPA/DADMDPM) erzeugt, nachdem dieses mit Michlers Keton (MK) bzw. Benzophenon (BP) dotiert und einer ultravioletten Strahlung von 400 ± 50 nm ausgesetzt und naß entwickelt wurde. Das Prinzip der positiven Abbildung basiert auf dem Photokupplungseffekt von MK mit PI, der die Löslichkeit des Polyimids erhöht und so die Entwicklung eines Positivmusters ermöglicht. Die Erzeugung negativer Muster wird durch intermakromolekulare Wasserstoffbrücken zwischen der Carbonylgruppe des Imid-Rings und der Hydroxygruppe, die bei der photoinduzierten Kupplung von Benzophenon mit dem Polyimid gebildet wird, bewirkt. Die lithographische Auswertung zeigt, daß der mit MK dotierte, positive Polyimidfilm nicht in der Lage ist, brauchbare Muster zu erzeugen, da die UV-Wellenlängen von MK absorbiert werden, wodurch die Photokupplung in den tieferen Schichten des Films verhindert wird. Andererseits können in dem 0,6 μm dicken, mit Benzophenon dotierten Polyimidfilm sogar 2 μm schmale Linien aufgelöst werden.
    Notes: Positive and negative photostructures are formed after the polyimide (PI) of 4,4′-biphthalic anhydride (BPA) and 4,4′-diamino-3,3′-dimethyldiphenylmethane (DADMDPM), PI(BPA/DADMDPM) is doped with Michler′s ketone (MK) and benzophenone (BP), respectively, and is subjected to UV light (400 ± 50 nm) irradiation and solvent development. The principle of positive feature formation is based on the photocoupling of MK with PI, which increases PI solubility and thus enables a positive pattern to be developed. The phenomenon of negative photopatterning results from intermacromolecular H-bonding between the carbonyl group of the imide ring and the hydroxy group which is formed in the photoinduced coupling reaction between BP and PI. Lithographic evaluation shows that the MK-doped positive-acting PI film cannot form useful patterns because UV wavelengths are strongly absorbed by MK, which limits the depth of photocoupling in the film. On the other hand, 2-μm-wide lines can be resolved in the BP-doped negative-acting 0.6-μm-thick PI film.

    Description / Table of Contents: Polyhydrazid/Polyamid-Blends (PEHZ12/PA6) wurden durch Niedrigtemperatur-Polykondensation von 4,4′-Dichlorformyl-α,ω-diphenoxydodecan und Terephthaloyldihydrazid (TDH) zu Poly(etheraroylhydrazid) in Gegenwart von Polyamid 6 synthetisiert. Die DSC-Analysen lassen vermuten, daß die zwei Polymerkomponenten nicht wechselwirken. Bei der Extraktion des PA6-Anteils der Blends mit Ameisensäure zeigt die Charakterisierung des PEHZ12-Extraktionsrückstands aber, daß zumindest bei bestimmten Zusammensetzungen Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Komponenten auftreten. Modellreaktionen erlauben die Annahme, daß die PEHZ12-Polymerisation zwischen den Amino-Endgruppen des PA6 und den wachsenden PEHZ12-Polymerketten abläuft.
    Notes: Poly(etheraroylhydrazide) is synthesized in the presence of PA6 by means of low-temperature condensation polymerization of 4,4′-dichloroformyl-α,ω-diphenoxydodecane with terephthaloyl dihydrazide (TDH) in order to prepare polyhydrazide/poly-amide 6 (PEHZ12/PA6) blends. The thermal analysis of the blends by DSC seems to indicate that the two polymers are not interacting. Nevertheless, when the blends are subjected to an extraction process with formic acid in order to remove the PA6, the characterization of the residual PEHZ12 reveales that some interactions do occur between the constituent polymers, at least for selected compositions. Model experiments permit to hypothesize that the polymerization of PEHZ12 proceeds with a chemical interaction between amino end groups of PA6 and growing PEHZ12 chains.

    Description / Table of Contents: The crystallization behavior of PBT as well as PC is changed in the controlled-processed blend due to intermolecular interactions between the different macromolecules in molten state.If the kinetics of the crystallization process prevents a crystallization-induced separation, the partial miscibility of the amorphous phases, measured by the glass transition temperatures, will lead to a decrease of the crystallinity of PBT. The crystallinity, normalized to the concentration of PBT in the blend, is independent from the concentration of PC at low coolling rates.At high cooling rates, PBT is crystallizing stepwise in the blend PBT/PC 40/60 wt.-%. The crystallization temperature in the anisothermic crystallization process is increased at low contents of PC due to a changed nucleation mechanism. The half-time of crystallization is increasing in blends with an increasing PC-content in isothermic crystallization experiments.The normally amorphous PC crystallizes considerably fast in presence of PBT in PC-rich blends. The crystallization or change in the state of order of PC was measured in situ by X-ray diffraction. Calorimetric experiments confirm this result and allow a quantitative estimation of the PC-crystallinity, which amounts to some 20% in the blend PBT/PC 5/95 wt.-%.
    Notes: Das Kristallisationsverhalten sowohl von PBT als auch von PC ist im definiert verarbeiteten Blend infolge intermolekularer Wechselwirkungen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Molekülen in der Schmelze verändert.Die über die Glasübergangstemperaturen gemessene teilweise Mischbarkeit der amorphen Phasen führt bei PBT zu einer Erniedrigung des Kristallinitätsgrades, wenn die kinetischen Bedingungen des Kristallisationsprozesses keine kristallisationsbedingte Entmischung zulassen. Der auf den PBT-Anteil normierte Kristallinitätsgrad ist bei kleinen Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten vom PC-Anteil unabhängüg.In der Mischung PBT/PC 40/60 Gew.-% kommt es bei hohen Kühlraten zu einer fraktionierten Kristallisation. Die Kristallisationstemperatur bei anisothermer Kristallisation ist bei geringen PC-Gehalten durch Änderung des Keimbildungsmechanismus erhöht. Bei isothermer Kristallisation steigt mit zunehmendem PC-Anteil die Kristallisationshalbwertszeit des PBT an.Das normalerweise amorphe PC kann in Gegenwart von PBT in den PC-reichen Mischungen besonders schnell kristallisieren, wobei der Kristallisations- bzw. Ordnungsprozeß des PC in situ mittels der Röntgenbeugung gemessen wurde. Kalorimetrische Untersuchungen bestätigen dieses Ergebnis und erlauben eine quantitative Abschätzung des PC-Kristallinitätsgrades zu ca. 20% im Blend PBT/PC 5/95 Gew.-%.

    Description / Table of Contents: Elementaranalytische sowie NMR-, IR- und UV-spektroskopische Untersuchungen zeigen, daß die Photolyse von Halogenphenolnovolaken zur Substitution der Halogenatome durch Wasserstoff, der Bildung chinoider Gruppen und intermolekularen Vernetzung führt. Die Geschwindigkeit der Halogeneliminierung hängt von der Art des Halogens ab. Sie steigt in der Reihenfolge F 〈 Cl 〈 Br 〈 I. Die Chloreliminierung aus der 4-Position ist gegenüber der aus der 2- und 3-Position begünstigt. Außerdem verläuft die Abspaltung para-ständiger Chloratome aus Dimeren schneller als aus Trioder Tetrameren. ESR-Messungen bei 77 K sowie die Laserblitzphotolyse bei 296 K deuten auf die intermediäre Bildung von Phenoxyl- und Arylradikalen. Lithographische Tests belegen die hohe UV-Empfindlichkeit von Resisten auf der Basis von Halogenphenolnovolaken. Im Vergleich zu nichthalogenhaltigen Novolakresisten wird eine 6 - 10fache (System: 4-Chlorphenolnovolak/4,4′-Bisazidobiphenyl (5%)) bzw. eine ca. 25fache (System: 4-Chlorphenol-/m-Cresolnovolak/Hexamethoxymethylmelamin (5%)) Steigerung der Empfindlichkeit erreicht. Zur Interpretation wird ein Mechanismus postuliert, demzufolge die durch Halogenabspaltung hervorgerufene Sekundärradikalbildung zu einer zusätzlichen Vernetzung beiträgt. In den melaminhaltigen Resisten katalysiert der gebildete Halogenwasserstoff (Hal· + RH → H-Hal + R·) außerdem die Reaktion der Melaminverbindung mit der Novolakmatrix.
    Notes: The photolysis of halogenophenol novolacs is determined by the substitution of halogens by hydrogen and the formation of quinoid groups and intermolecular crosslinks. This is concluded from elemental analysis, NMR, IR and optical absorption measurements. The rate of halogen release depends on the chemical nature of the halogen. It increases in the order F 〈 Cl 〈 Br 〈 I. Chlorine elimination from 4-position is favored over that from 2- and 3-position. Moreover, dimers release chlorine from 4-position much more readily than trimers and tetramers. ESR measurements at 77 K and flash photolysis studies at 296 K yielded evidence for the intermediate existence of phenoxyl and aryl radicals. Lithographic tests demonstrated the high UV-sensitivity of resist formulations based on halogen-containing novolacs. The increase in sensitivity relative to that of formulations based on nonhalogenated novolacs is 6 to 10fold system: 4-chlorophenol novolac/4,4′-bisazidobiphenyl (5%) and ca. 25fold system: 4-chlorophenol/m-cresol novolac/hexamethoxymethylmelamine (5%). A postulated reactions mechanism concerning the sensitivity increase takes into account that halogen elimination results in the formation of additional radicals that accelerate the rate of crosslinking. Moreover, hydrogen halide generated by hydrogen abstraction of halogen radicals (Hal· + RH → H-Hal + R·) provides for the acid required to catalyze the reaction of the melamine compound with the novolac matrix.

    Description / Table of Contents: Calciumcarbonate unterschiedlicher Teilchenform (sphäarisch, kubisch und nadelfäormig) wurden mit Polypropylen (PP) in einer Zwei-Walzen-Mäuhle gemischt und anschließend zu Platten gepreßt. Der Einflußder Teilchenform auf das Kristallisationsverhalten der PP/CaCO3-Composite, d.h. Kristallisationspeaktemperatur (Tmax), Kristallisationsverlauf usw., wurde mittels Differentialkalorimetrie untersucht. Der Wert von Tmax häangt von der Größe der Gesamtoberfläache der CaCO3-Teilchen ab; Tmax ist bei nadelfäormigen Teilchen gräoßer als bei kubischen oder sphäarischen und hauangt in allen Fäallen der nicht-isothermen Kristallisation von der Abkäuhlgeschwindigkeit und der vorher erreichten maximalen Temperatur ab.
    Notes: Calcium carbonate of various particle shape (spheric, cubic, needle-shaped type) and polypropylene (PP) were mixed on a two roll mill and the mixture was pressed into plates. The effect of particle shape on the crystallization behavior of PP/CaCO3 composites, such as crystallization peak temperature (TMAX), crystallized pattern, etc., was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The value of TMAX is explained by the total surface area of added CaCO3 particles; TMAX of needle-shaped series is larger than that of cubic or spheric ones. TMAX of various shaped CaCO3-filled PP totally depends on the cooling rate and maximum temperature in the non-isothermal crystallization, respectively.

Die Eigenschaften der kationischen Polymeren sind vom urspräunglichen PEG-Molekulargewicht und der Diaminreaktivitäat abhäangig. PEG mit Mn = 396 zeigt das beste Verhalten. In verdäunnten wäassrigen Läosungen und in wäassrigen 2M NaCl-Läosungen der Polymeren wurde das Polyelektrolytverhalten veranschaulicht. Die Gegenwart der PEG Kette bestimmt das Polyelektrolytverhalten in den 2M NaCl Läosungen.
    Notes: Water-soluble cationic polymers were obtained by polyaddition of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) diglycidylethers (M̄n of PEG were 396, 587, 1437 and 3554, resp.) with asymmetrical diamines such as N,N-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane and N,N-diethyl-1,3-diaminopropane. The cationic polymer properties depend on the PEG initial molecular weight and on the diamine reactivity too. PEG with M̄n = 396 had the best behaviour in these reactions. The polyelectrolyte feature of cationic polymers was emphasized both in dilute aqueous solutions and in 2M aqueous NaCl solutions. The polyelectrolyte behaviour in 2M aqueous NaCl solution is determined by the PEG chain presence.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Scherviskositäat fläussigkristalliner Ethylcellulose, die mit Cellulosepulver unterschiedlicher Partikelgräoße gefäullt war, wurde bei konstantem Schergefäalle mit einem Kegel-Platte-Viskosimeter bestimmt. Der Einfluß des Cellulosepulvergehalts, des Läange/Breite-Verhäaltnisses der Pulverteilchen und der Temperatur auf das viskose Verhalten und die Phasenäubergäange wird diskutiert. Der Zusatz von Cellulosepulver erhäoht die Viskositäat und verringert die Aktivierungsenergie des Fließens(Ea), ohne jedoch die Phasenäubergäange zu beeinflussen. Die Viskositäat und die Aktivierungsenergie sind abhäangig vom Läange/Breite-Verhäaltnis der Pulverteilchen; mit zunehmender Gräoße dieses Verhäaltnisses wird die Viskositäatszunahme beschleunigt und die Aktivierungsenergie des Fließens erhäoht, wäahrend die Aktivierungsenergie mit steigendem Pulvergehalt abnimmt. Die Phasenumwandlungen sind unabhäangig von der Partikelform. Der Einfluß des Pulvergehalts auf Viskositäat und Aktivierungsenergie ist abhäangig von der Art der fläussigen Phase; in der anisotropen Phase ist der Einfluß geringer als in der isotropen Phase. Dies scheint von der Ausrichtung der Pulverteilchen und der stäabchenfäormigen Molekäule herzuräuhren.
    Notes: Steady-state shear viscosity for the liquid crystalline ethyl cellulose solution filled with cellulose powders was determined using a cone-plate-type viscometer and the effects of cellulose powder content, powder aspect ratio and temperature on the viscometric behavior and phase transformation were discussed. The addition of powder increased the viscosity and decreased the activation energy (Ea) for flow, but did not affect the phase transformation. The viscosity and Ea depended on the aspect ratio; with greater aspect ratio, the viscosity enhancement was accelerated and Ea as well as the decrease in Ea with powder content increased. The phase transformation did not depend on the aspect ratio, the dependences of viscosity and of Ea on powder content depended on the solution phase; the dependences for the anisotropic phase were smaller than those for the isotropic one. The findings appeared to originate from the alignments of powders and rod-like molecules.

    Notes: The UV-degradation of an unstabilized and two HALS stabilized polyethylene (PE) films is described. The degradations are characterized by measuring the oxygen uptake, the formation of CO and CO2, the FT-IR spectra, the mechanical properties, the stabilizer concentration and the oxygen content of the film.The oxygen uptake of the unstabilized PE film led to the expected changes in the IR spectra and embrittlement of the film, while the oxygen uptake by the HALS stabilized films caused only minor changes. The differences between the results for the unstabilized and the HALS stabilized polymers are explained assuming that the initiation of the photodegradation of PE is due to charge transfer complexes.

    Notes: Irradiations (λ≥300 nm) of poly(butyleneterphtalate) films were carried out in both vacum and air. Photoproducts were investigated by FTIR spectroscopy, chemical derivatization reactions and physical treatments. The repartition of photoproducts in the polymer was shown to be heterogeneous. A scheme accounting for the main routes of PBT photolysis was found on the basis of photoproducts identification. Most of oxidation products were analogous to vacum photolysis species; the mechanism of photooxidation proposed implied both pure photolytical processes and a photo-induced oxidation route.

    Notes: The effect of polymer density, processing conditions (quenching of annealing), degree of crystallinity, size of crystallite and mobility of polymer chains on the photo-and radiation-induced degradation and the polymer stability have been studied by UV, FTIR spectroscopic, viscosity and mechanical property measurements. Four kinds of annealed or quenched polyethylene (PE) films varying densities were used to the studies. Polystyrene (PSt) films were used to investigate the effect of chain mobility on polymer degradation. The following results were obtained. 1.In linear low density (LLD) PE, greater amounts of crosslinking (irradiated in vacuum) and chain scission (irradiated in air) were noticed than in mediun density (MD) PE and high density (HD) PE samples.2.Polyene formation is favored in the case of the irradiation in vacuum for LLDPE.3.Polymer stability evaluated by mechanical property such as elongation at break (%) is superior in LLDPE to MDPE and HDPE for annealed and quenched samples.4.Segmental motion of polymer chain also affects the polymer stability

    Description / Table of Contents: The study is on two component blends of high density polyethylenes, having normal and ultra-high molecular weight. The polyethylenes were homogenized by two routes: in powder state or by rolling in melt, then pressed at temperatures in the range from 140°C to 220°C. Comparative studies showed that the way of homogenizing of the components does practically not affect the main mechanical properties of the blends when pressed at temperatures ≥ 160°C. Of special interest are the characteristics of those systems where ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is the matrix component.
    Notes: Untersucht wurden binäre Mischungen von Polyethylenen hoher Dichte rnit normaler und ultrahochmolekularer Molmasse, die auf zweierlei Weise - in Pulverform oder durch Walzen im Schmelzezustand - homogenisiert und bei Temperaturen zwischen 140 und 220°C gepreßt waren.Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Art der Homogenisierung der Komponenten praktisch keinen Einfluß auf die Eigenschaften bei Preßtemperaturen ≥ 160°C hat. Von besonderem Interesse sind die Eigenschaften der Systeme, in welchen das ultrahochmolekulare Polyethylen die Rolle der Matrixkomponente spielt.

    Description / Table of Contents: Das Verhalten eines neuartigen photoinitiierenden Systems, das die Polymerisation von pigmenthaltigen Schichten großer Dicke in einem Reaktionsschritt gestattet, wird dargestellt. Die verschiedenen Wechselwirkungen, die in einem pigmenthaltigen System auftreten, werden qualitativ beschrieben, und der Anteil der von einem Photoinitiator absorbierten Lichtintensität wird berechnet. Neben dem Absorptions- und Reflexionsverhalten von verschiedenen Pigmentklassen werden die optischen Eigenschaften verschiedener Strahlungsquellen untersucht, um die Strahlungsbereiche zu finden, die am besten mit den optischen Parametern der Pigmente korrespondieren. Weiterhin wird die Beschleunigung von Polymerisationen durch die photokatalytische Wirkung einiger Pigmente behandelt.
    Notes: Ce travail sur le rôe des pigments définit le comportement d'un nouveau systeme photosensible qui permet de polymériser des milieux épais et pigmentés selon un procédé en une seule étape. Les différentes interactions présentes en milieu pigmenté sont décrites de façon qualitative, et la part de l'intensité lumineuse absorbée par un photo-amorceur dans un systéme pigmenté est evaluée. Les propriétés optiques telles que l'absorption et la réflectance des différentes familles chimiques de pigments sont déterminées, et, en paralléle, les propriétés optiques des différentes sources d'irradiation sont étudiées de manière à répondre au mieux aux fenêtres de transmission des pigments. L'effet photocatalytique de certains pigments est mentionné, ceci afin d'amkliorer la réaction de polymérisation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Herstellung von cis-1,4-Polybutadien erfolgte mittels Polymerisation von 1,3-Butadien mit einem Katalysatorsystem, das in einer zweistufigen Reaktion gebildet wird: (1) BF3 · O(C2H5)2 und Al(C2H5)3, (2) Ni(OOC8H15)2 und Al(C2H5)3, genannt in-situ-Katalysatorsystem.Die Molmassenverteilungen (MMD) der erhaltenen Polymeren sind mit der Größenausschlußchromatographie (SEC) untersucht worden. Sie lassen sich mit Summen aus Schulz-Flory-Funktionen (SFF) beschreiben. Veränderte Katalysatorformierungs- und Polymerisationsbedingungen beeinflussen die Parameter der SFF. Veränderte Peakflächen und Molmassenmittelwerte der Einzelpeaks zeigen, daß die Polymerisation über mehrere Arten aktiver Zentren verläuft.
    Notes: Cis-1,4-polybutadiene was produced by polymerization of 1,3-butadiene using a catalyst system formed by a two-step formation, Namely (1) BF3 . O(C2H5)2 and Al(C2H5)3, (2) Ni(OOC8H15)2 and Al(C2H5)3 named in-situ-catalyst.The molar mass distributions (MMD) of the polybutadienes are investigated by means of size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The MMD's were fitted by a sum of Schulz-Flory-Functions (SFF). Changed catalyst formation and polymerization conditions influenced the parameters of the SFF. Changed areas and changed molar mass averages indicate a polymerization with more than one peak maximum and kind of active species and lead to a better understanding of the polymerization.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Umsetzung von Chromacrylat mit Bisphenol A und einem Überschuß Epichlorhydrin wurden neuartige Epoxid-Harze hergestellt. Epoxy-Äquivalentgewicht, Gehalt an Hydroxygruppen und hydrolysierbarem Chlor sowie die Viskosität wurden bestimmt, und die Harze wurden mittels IR- und 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Die thermischen Eigenschaften der bei 30°C für 24 h mit Ciba Geigy HY 850 (aliphatisches Amin) gehärteten Harze wurden gemessen. Die Harze besitzen eine gute thermische und chemische Stabilität und eine gute elektrische Leitfähigkeit. Die Reaktion verläuft nach erster Ordnung; die Aktivierungsenergie beträgt 47 kJ mol-1 bzw. 34 kJ mol-1 mit bzw. ohne Chromacrylat. Aus spektroskopischen Untersuchungen wird geschlossen, daß das Chrom mit Bisphenol A einen Komplex bildet, der die Epoxidierung beschleunigt.
    Notes: Novel epoxy resins containing chromium acrylate have been synthesized by reacting chromium acrylate with bisphenol-A and excess epichlorohydrin. The quantities such as epoxy equivalent weight, hydroxy content, hydrolyzable chlorine content and viscosity have been determined. The resins have been characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The cured resins were evaluated for thermal properties. The curing of resins was carried out with Ciba Geigy HY 850 (aliphatic amine adduct) at 30°C for 24 h. The cured resins have excellent thermal and chemical resistance, in addition to an excellent electrical conductivity. The reaction follows first order kinetics with an activation energy of 47 kJ mol-1 and 34 kJ mol-1 in the presence and absence of chromium acrylate, respectively. The chromium forms a complex with bisphenol-A, as indicated by spectroscopic studies, which increases epoxidation.

Die IPNs wurden durch ihre physikalischen, mechanischen und morphologischen Eigenschaften wie Dichte, Shore-A-Härte, Vernetzungsdichte, Zugfestigkeit und Reißdehnung charakterisiert. Mit steigendem Polystyrolgehalt erhöhen sich auch Dichte, Shore-A-Härte und Zugfestigkeit, während die Reißdehnung abnimmt. Die Untersuchungen der Vernetzungsdichte lassen eine Phasenumkehr vermuten.
    Notes: Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) of polyurethane based on hydroxyterminated natural rubber with varying NCO/OH ratios and polystyrene were synthesized under different experimental conditions. These IPNs were found to make tough films. The IPNs were characterized by their physical, mechanical and morphological properties like density, Shore-A hardness, crosslink density, tensile strength and elongation at break. The IPNs exhibited an increasing trend in density, Shore-A hardness and tensile strength with increasing polystyrene content, while elongation at break decreased with similar variation in polystyrene content. The crosslink density measurements indicated a possible phase inversion process.

Bei 2,45 GHz erzeugtes Luft-Plasma steigert die Hydrophilie der Membranoberfläche von 0 auf 60%. Der Durchfluß bleibt bei 90 bis 99%. Mit Plasma behandelte Membranen sind leichter zu reinigen als unbehandelte; dennoch sind sie anfälliger für die Ablagerung von Rinderserumalbumin.
    Notes: The effect of plasma treatment of polyethylene ultrafiltration membranes on fouling and cleaning phenomena during filtration of bovine serum albumin solutions is discussed. Air-plasma of 2.45 GHz raises the membrane surface hydrophilicity from 0 up to 60%. The flux is maintained at 90-99%. Plasma-treated membranes are easier to clean than untreated polyethylene membranes. Despite that, the plasma-modified membranes are susceptible to more intensive deposition of albumin.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Immobilisierung von Glucose-Oxidase in einer Poly(vinylalkohol) (PVAL)-Membran in Gegenwart von UV-Photoinitiatoren wurde untersucht. Enzym-Membranen wurden aus PVAL-Diazoharz- und PVAL-Photoinitiator-Systemen durch Vernetzung mit UV-Licht hergestellt. Mit diesen immobilisierten Glucose-Oxidase-Membranen wurde eine wirkungsvolle Enzymelektrode entwickelt, deren Eigenschaften untersucht wurden. Der Einfluß der Photoinitiatorkonzentration in Poly(vinylalkohol) und der UV-Bestrahlungsdauer auf den Grad der Unlöslichkeit sowie die Aktivitätsausbeute der Membran wurden mit Glucose als Substrat untersucht. Temperatur- und pH-Abhängigkeit der relativen Aktivität, Stabilität bei mehrmaligem Gebrauch, Lagerstabilität und Kalibrierungsdiagramme der Enzym-Membranen wurden ermittelt. Eine beim Erstgebrauch auftretende Instabilitätserscheinung der Membranen wurde ebenfalls untersucht.
    Notes: A study of the immobilization of glucose oxidase on a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL) membrane in the presence of UV sensitizers was carried out. Enzyme membranes were prepared from PVAL-diazoresin and PVAL-sensitizer systems, crosslinked by means of UV irradiation. An effective enzyme electrode was developed by using the immobilized glucose oxidase membrane, and its characteristics were investigated. The effects of the concentration of sensitizers in poly(vinyl alcohol) and UV irradiation time on the degree of insolubility as well as the activity yield of the membrane were examined for the immobilized glucose oxidase using glucose as a substrate. Temperature and pH dependences of the relative activity, stability in repeated use, storage stability and calibration plots of the enzyme membranes were evaluated. The unstability phenomenon, found in the initial use of the immobilized glucose oxidase membrane, which was prepared from PVAL-sensitizer system, was also investigated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Biopol, Biocellat and Mater-Bi, three biologically decomposable plastics have been tested for their use in medical industries. Biopol did not loose its stress and stiffness under sterilisation, and was also resistant against temperature and alcohol. Mater-Bi and Biocellat, the two other materials, did not satisfy the test applications. Water vapor sterilisation, temperature up to 60°C, at higher temperatures this material will embrittle.
    Notes: Für den Einsatz biologisch abbaubarer Kunststoffe in der pharmazeutischen Industrie und Medizintechnik wurden Produkte verschiedener Hersteller, wie Biopol, Biocellat und Mater-Bi untersucht. Dabei zeigte vor allem Biopol das notwendige Anforderungsprofil, d.h. die Anwendbarkeit aller Sterilisationsverfahren ohne Festigkeitsbzw. Steifigkeitsverluste sowie Temperatur- und Alkoholbeständigkeit. Dagegen wiesen die Werkstoffe Mater-Bi und Biocellat einige Schwachstellen auf. Bei Mater-Bi lagen diese bei der Wasserdampfsterilisation sowie bei der geringen thermischen und Medienbeständigkeit. Biocellat versprödet dagegen durch die erhöhte Temperatur bei der Dampfsterilisation, d.h. daß ein Einsatz über 60°C nicht möglich wäre.

The alkylation is found to proceed to high conversion extents (up to 99.8%) and enables to obtain a wide variety of polymeric products having the composition, structure and properties very similar to those of homo- and copolymers.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß von Ca2+-bzw. Al3+-Ionen auf das Viskositätsverhalten (Salzverträglichkeit) wäßriger Lösungen von Natriumcarboxymethylcellulose (CMC) sowohl mit unterschiedlichem Polymerisationsgrad (DP) als auch mit unterschiedlichem Substitutionsgrad (DS) und verschiedenartiger Substitutentenverteilung wurde untersucht. Aus Viskositätsmessungen mit einem Rotationsviskosimeter bei einer Scherrate von 500 s-1 geht hervor, daß die relative Abnahme der Viskosität im Ergebnis des Zusatzes der mehrwertigen Metallkationen unabhängig vom DP (im Bereich von 160 bis 900) der CMC ist. Homogen hergestellte CMC-Proben 2 mit einem größeren Gehalt an 2,3,6-Tri-O-carboxymethylglucose-Einheiten in der Polymerkette weisen im Vergleich zu heterogen hergestellten CMCs 1 bei gleichem Gesamt-DS eine höhere Salzverträglichkeit auf.
    Notes: The influence of Ca2+-and Al3+-ions, respectively, upon the viscosity behaviour (so-called salt tolerance) of aqueous solutions of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with different degree of polymerization (DP) and, on the other hand, with both different degree of substitution (DS) and distribution of substituents, was investigated. Viscosimetry by means of a rotational rheometer at a shear rate of 500 s-1 shows that the relative drop in viscosity as a result of addition of the multivalent metal cations is independent of DP (ranging from 160 to 900) of the CMC samples. Homogeneously synthesized CMCs (2) with a higher content of 2,3,6-tri-O-carboxymethyl glucose units in the polymer chain possess a significantly higher salt tolerance than those (1) prepared under heterogeneous reaction conditions at comparable total DS values.

    Description / Table of Contents: Melamin-Formaldehyd-Harz-Formmassen (MF) wurden durch mechanisches Mischen mit Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymeren (EVA) und teilverseiftem EVA modifiziert, wobei Etherbindungen zwischen dem hydrolysierten EVA und dem MF-Harz nachgewiesen werden konnten, die die mechanischen Eigenschaften von spritzgepreßten Formteilen im Vergleich zur Modifizierung mit EVA verbessern. Der Zusatz solcher Modifikatoren erhöht die Duktilität und verringert im Falle von EVA die Nachschwindung der überaus steifen MF-Matrix, solange der Modifikatoranteil gering bleibt. Dagegen werden die Steifigkeit und die Wärmeformbeständigkeit verschlechtert. Die durch solche unvernetzten Polymeren erreichbare Steigerung der Schlagzähigkeit bleibt allerdings unzureichend.
    Notes: Melamine-formaldehyde moulding compounds (MF) were modified by mechanical mixing with ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) and with partially hydrolysed EVA. Ether linkages between the hydrolysed material and the MF resin improve the mechanical properties of the transfer moulded parts containing the hydrolysed material compared to those made with EVA. The use of both modifying polymers improves the ductility and, in case of the partially hydrolysed material, the postshrinkage of the extremely rigid MF matrix, as long as the modification polymer content is kept low. On the contrary, Young's modulus and the heat deflection temperature are deteriorated. The improvement in impact strength by use of those uncrosslinked polymers is still insufficient.

Their molecular weights, determined by gel permeation chromatography and NMR spectroscopy, were found to lie within the range from 1000 up to 7000. Their thermal properties (glass transitions, melting points and heats of melting, and decomposition temperatures) were recorded with diferential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry, respectively, and correlated to the comonomer feed composition. The FT-IR and NMR spectra were also recorded in order to confirm the composition of the copolyesteramides and to compare them with that of the comonomer feed. The biodegradability of the synthesized copolymers was tested by enzymatic hydrolysis.

Als Nebenprodukte der Polykondensation werden eine Ketoverbindung sowie Wasser und Kohlendioxid gebildet. Die Carboxygruppen der Abietinsäure sind an der Kondensationsreaktion beteiligt. In Abwesenheit von Paraformaldehyd wurde das Abietinsäure/Sulfonsäurekatalysator-System untersucht, um zusätzliche Informationen über die Reaktion zu erhalten. Der Reaktionsverlauf hängt von der Temperatur und der chemischen Struktur des Katalysators ab. Ein möglicher Reaktionsmechanismus der Kondensation wird diskutiert.
    Notes: New condensation products have been synthesized by heating abietic acid and formaldehyde at high temperatures in the presence of sulfonic-type acid catalysts. The main polycondensation reaction is associated with a secondary one which leads to a ketonic compound, carbon dioxide and water. The carboxylic groups of abietic acid participate in this condensation reaction. The behaviour of the abietic acid-sulfonic acid catalyst system was studied in absence of formaldehyde to acquire additional information about the reaction. The process is defined by the reaction temperature and chemical nature of the catalyst. A possible mechanism of the condensation reaction is discussed on the basis of the obtained results.

    Notes: Alkanes with highly substituted carbon-carbon bonds can be cleaved in free radicals by homolytic dissociation under the influence of thermal energy. The energy of dissociation is mainly determined by the type and size of the respective substituents. For tetraarylbutane dinitriles the temperatures of decomposition are in the range of other technically used initiators. But nevertheless, these compounds are up to now rather seldom used to initiate free radical polymerizations. This is connected with the special mechanism of initiation: the formed highly substituted alkyl radicals are relatively stable and show only a rather low reactivity against the usually used monomers. Therefore, in the beginning of the polymerization the radical concentration is rather high which leads not only to addition to monomers but also to a pronounced primary radical termination. In some cases this termination process is reversible which results in an unusual polymerization kinetics. Depending on the type of monomer and the degree of reversibility of the primary radical termination, either a period of “dead-end” polymerization follows or the cleavage of the oligomers at the chain end results in a re-initiation process with a “normal” polymerization with increased rate. The reaction mechanism, kinetics and some possible applications of such initiating alkanes are reported.

    Description / Table of Contents: Untersuchungen wesentlicher Aspekte der Polymerisation und der Eigenschaftsmodifikation auf Metallocen-Katalyse basierender Cycloolefin-Copolymere (COC) zeigen, daß mit dieser Monomer-Katalysator-Kombination eine neue Klasse transparenter Thermoplasten zugänglich gemacht wird. COC können mit Metallocenen in beliebiger zusammensetzung und mit kontrollierter Mikrostruktur hergestellt werden. Die somit erreichte und durch zusätzliche Modifikationen noch erweiterbare Breite des Eigenschaftsspektrums ermöglicht vielfältige Anwendungen dieser neuen Polymerklasse. Die wichtigsten Schlüsselfaktoren im rohstofflich-technologischen Bereich, die diese Struktur- und Eigenschaftsvielfalt ergeben, werden beispielhaft beschrieben.
    Notes: Investigation of the polymerization process and property modification of metallocene-based cycloolefin copolymers (COC) shows that this monomer-catalyst combination enables synthesis of a new class of transparent thermoplastic polymers. Metallocene catalysis offers much opportunity to vary the composition and microstructure of the copolymers. The breadth of the polymer spectrum which can be further widened by polymer modification enables many applications for this new class of thermoplastics. The key parameters that control structure and properties in the COC family are discussed in this paper.

    Notes: The present paper deals with the synthesis and modification of functionalized polymers characterized by a special molecular architecture. The reactivity of a functionalized polymer with comb-like structure can be controlled in a significant manner by the crystalline order of the side chains. In contrast, photocrosslinking of comblike polymers containing cinnamic components in the side chains influences the crystallization process. The air drying process of a modified polybutadiene system with comb-like structure was shown to depend sensitively on the side chain order. Enzymatic synthesis of new monomers and polymers is briefly reviewed. The complexing capability of cyclodextrines were used to synthesize polyrotaxanes. Finally, the synthesis of a chiral polymerizable dendrimer containing eight estergroups in the monomer unit is presented.

    Notes: Intramolecularly crosslinked poly(organosiloxane) particles are prepared by means of emulsion polycondensation or emulsion polymerization of alkoxysilanes or cyclic organic siloxanes. Starting from these intramolecularly crosslinked poly(organosiloxane) particles, graft copolymers are obtained by free-radical emulsion polymerization of unsaturated olefinic monomers (e.g. acrylates, styrene) in the presence of (functionalized) organosiloxanes. Intramolecularly crosslinked poly(siloxane) particles and their graft copolymers are characterized by means of light scattering (in dispersion), electron microscopy and thermal analyses (DSC, DMTA).

Die Verträglichkeit der Komponenten wurde mittels DSC und DMA, die Morphologie der Blends mittels SEM untersucht. Mit abnehmendem Polystyrolanteil wurde eine schlechtere Mischbarkeit bei den Blends beobachtet, deren Kerbschlagempfindlichkeit sich erhöhte. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse werden mit dem Micellmodell interpretiert.
    Notes: The relationship between the miscibility and the physical properties of polymer blends of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) and polystyrene (PS), high-impact polystyrene (IPS) and poly(styrene-block-butadiene-block-styrene) (SBS), which are blended in different compositions by a twin-screw extruder is discussed. The three types of SBS that were used are SBS1, SBS2 and SBS3 having different styrene/butadiene ratios. Dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry were used to study the miscibility. The morphology was examined by SEM. The miscibility of the blends decreases with decreasing PS content. The notch sensitivity is improved by blending. Finally, the micelle model was used to explain the testing phenomena.

    Description / Table of Contents: Aliphatische Polyamide mit Poly(ethylenoxid)-Kettensegmenten unterschiedlicher Länge wurden durch Grenzflächenpolymerisation aus Succinylchlorid und Jeffamine ED-900 (O,O'-Bis(2-aminopropyl)poly(ethylenglykol) 800) bzw. Jeffamine ED-2001 (O,O'-Bis(2-aminopropyl)poly(ethylenglykol) 1900) zur Verwendung als Trägersubstanzen für Medikamente synthetisiert. Copolyamide mit kurzkettigen Diamin- und Jeffamine-Segmenten sowie Polyamide aus Cystin und Diamineinheiten wurden auf die gleiche Weise hergestellt. Die Polymerisationen wurden im zweiphasigen System Dichlormethan/Wasser bei Temperaturen um 0°C durchgeführt. Die Polymerprodukte wurden durch stufenweise Dialyse in wäßriger Phase bis zu einem Molekulargewicht von 25000 fraktioniert, nach Gefriertrocknung als wasserlösliche Harze oder Feststoffe erhalten und durch Mikroanalyse sowie 1H NMR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Die inhärenten Viskositäten liegen im Bereich von 10-20 ml/g. Die Eignung eines repräsentativen Zielmoleküls zur Bindung von Medikamenten wurde durch eine kovalente Verankerung einer als Medikamentmodell fungierenden Ferrocen-Verbindung untersucht. Dabei wurde ein wasserlösliches Polymer-Ferrocen-Konjugat erhalten.
    Notes: Aliphatic polyamides comprising poly(ethylene oxide) chain segments of various lengths, designed for use as drug carriers, are synthesized by interfacial polymerization of succinyl chloride with the two Jeffamine types ED-900 and ED-2001, formally described by the supplier as O,O'-bis(2-aminopropyl)poly(ethylene glycol) 800 and O,O'-bis(2-aminopropyl)poly(ethylene glycol) 1900. Copolyamides comprising both short-chain diamine and Jeffamine segments are similarly prepared, as are polyamides made up of cystine and diamine segments. The polymerizations are performed in a two-phase methylene chloride-water system at temperatures near or below 0°C. The product polymers, crudely fractionated by staged aqueous-phase dialysis at an ultimate molecular-mass cut-off of 25000, are collected after freeze-drying as water-soluble resins or solids and are characterized microanalytically and by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Inherent viscosities are in the range of 10-20 ml g-1. The drug-binding potential of a representative target polymer is probed by the covalent anchoring of a ferrocene compound used as a drug model, giving a water-soluble polymer-ferrocene conjugate.

Die häochste Aktivitäat wurde für eine sandwichartige, dreilagige Verankerung von Zirkonzentren auf der Träageroberfläache gefunden. Dieneuen Katalysatorsysteme besitzen eine im Vergleich zu den entsprechenden homogenen Katalysatoren geringere Aktivitäat. Die Immobilisierung der aktiven Katalysatorzentren führt zu einer deutlichen Erhäohung der Polymermolmassen. Dabei bleibt die enge Molekulargewichtsverteilung der Polymerprodukte nahezu erhalten. Solche auf Träager aufgebrachte Metallocen-Katalysatoren käonnten für die Herstellung von Polyethylenen mit kontrollierter Rheologie Anwendung finden.
    Notes: The system zirconocene dichloride/methylalumoxane was supported on silica in order to provide ethylene polymerization catalysts for suspension or gas phase processes. Highest activity was found for a sandwich-like, three layer anchoring of the zirconium centers on the support surface. The new catalyst systems show a decrease of activity compared to polymerization experiments in homogeneous phase. However, the molecular weights are increased and the weight distributions remain narrow by immobilization of the active catalyst sites. Those supported metallocene catalysts could find application for the synthesis of polyethylene materials with controlled rheology.

    Description / Table of Contents: Vernetzte Copolmere aus Butylacrylat (BA) und Ethylenglycol-dimethacrylat (EGDMA) wurden auf ihre Eignung als stationäare Phase für die Chromatographie untersucht. Es wurde festgestellt, daß gering vernetzte Copolymere (〈 30 Gew.-% EGDMA) nicht poräos sind, wäahrend Matrices mit mehr als 40 Gew.-% EGDMA eine konstante Porositäat aufweisen. Eine Erhäohung des Vernetzergehaltes beeinflußt hauptsäachlich die Hydrophobie der Oberfläache. Zwei Meßmethoden für diese Eigenschaft werden diskutiert: Die Absorption von Alkylalkoholen und von Aminosäauren. Für letztere wurde aus der Steigung der Beziehung zwischen der Sälenkapazitäat und dem Hydrophobie-Parameter der Aminosäauren ein Matrix-Hydrophobie-Index berechnet und dieser mit den bekannten Energien der Wechselwirkung von Alkylalkohol—CH2 Gruppen mit der Polymermatrix verglichen. Die Vorteile der Verwendung des Hydrophobie-Indexes bei der Bewertung von polymeren Sorbentien werden aufgezeigt.
    Notes: Copolymers of butyl acrylate (BA) crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) were evaluated as potential chromatographic packings. It was found that slightly crosslinked copolymers (up to 30 wt.-% EGDMA) did not provide porous material, while for matrices which exceeded 40 wt.-% of EGDMA the porous structure remained unchangeable. The increase of crosslinker content mostly affected the surface hydrophobicity. Two methods of measurement of this property were discussed: Sorption of alkyl alcohols and amino acids. Taking the latter for testing, a polymer matrix hydrophobicity index was calculated as the slope of dependence of column capacity vs. amino acid hydrophobicity parameter. The indices were verified against well-established interaction energies of —CH2— groups of alkyl alcohols and polymer surfaces. Some benefits of the use of the hydrophobicity index in evaluation of polymer sorbents were demonstrated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Kondensation von 3-Glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilan I mit Diphenylsilandiol II wurde untersucht. Abhängig von Lösungsmittel, Temperatur und Katalysator werden unterschiedliche Primärprodukte erhalten. Die Reaktion in Masse bei 120°C mit Titan(IV)-isopropylat als Katalysator liefert ein transparentes Harz A. Das eduktfreie Produkt wurde IR-, 1H- und 13C-NMR-spektroskopisch charakterisiert und chromatographisch mit GPC und HPLC untersucht. Die trimeren und tetrameren Siloxane bestehen aus Diphenylsilan- und 3-Glycidyloxypropylmethoxysilaneinheiten. Das Verhältnis von cyclischen zu linearen Molekülen beträgt 2:1. Höhermolekulare Verbindungen entstehen nur in geringen Mengen. Das Epoxysiloxangemisch löst sich in unterschiedlichen organischen Lösungsmitteln und ist mit kommerziell verfügbaren Epoxiden mischbar. Die Zeitabhs̈ngigkeit von Viskosität und Epoxidwert bei der Lagerung unter Normalbedingungen wurden gemessen und mit HPLC verfolgt . Die Lagerstabilität wurde durch eine zusätzliche thermische Behandlung verbessert.
    Notes: Condensation of 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane I with diphenylsilanediol II was investigated. Depending on solvent, temperature and catalyst, different products were obtained. Bulk reaction at 120°C using titanium(IV)-isopropylate as a catalyst provided the transparent resin A. A was characterised by IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and contained no reactants. GPC and HPLC studies revealed that A consists of trimer and tetramer siloxanes of pertinent diphenylsilane and 3-glycidyloxypropylmethoxysilane moieties. The proportion of cyclic to linear molecules was evaluated 2:1. Only small amounts of high-molecular-weight compounds were observed. The epoxysiloxane product proved to be miscible with various organic solvents and with commercial epoxy resins. Time dependence of viscosity and epoxy content were recorded during ambient storage and monitored by HPLC. Pot-life was improved by a subsequent thermal procedure.

Die Molmassenverteilungen (MMD) der erhaltenen Polybutadiene wurden mit der Größenausschlußchromatographie (SEC) untersucht. Sie lassen sich mit Summen aus Schulz-Flory-Funktionen (SFF) beschreiben. Da eine Art aktiver Zentren eine SFF ergibt, die durch Molmassenmittelwerte definiert ist, lassen sich verschiedene Molmassenverteilungen nach Bandentrennung auf gleiche und verschiedene Arten aktiver Zentren untersuchen. In den untersuchten Systemen lassen sich zwei vergleichbare und eine unterscheidbare Art aktiver Zentren zuordnen. Auf diese Weise wurde das Kettenwachstum in Abhängigkeit von den Komponenten und Katalysatorformierungsbedingungen untersucht.

The molar mass distributions (MMD) of the polybutadienes are investigated by means of size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The MMD's were fitted by a sum of Schulz-Flory-Functions (SFF). Taking into account that one kind of active species gives one SFF defined by molar mass averages, one comparable active species in both systems and one different were found. This way it was tried to find a relationship between the grown up of the active species depending on components and reactions conditions.

    Notes: αD-N-acetyl neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac, sialic acid) is a commonly occurring carbohydrate residue in various cell surface glycolipids and glycoproteins. This residue is linked terminally or internally to Gal residues via an α(2 → 3) or α(2 → 6) linkage. In the cell surface receptor, sialyl-LewisX, a terminal α(2 → 3) linkage is present. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that in solution LewisX adopts a relatively rigid structure. In order to model the Neu5Ac residue, vacuum molecular dynamics of this monosaccharide were compared with simulations that explicitly include solvent water. The dynamical average of the monosaccharide conformation obtained from the two simulations was similar. Vacuum calculations for the disaccharide Neu5Ac α(2 → 3) Gal β-O-methyl show that a number of low energy minima are accessible to this disaccharide. Molecular dynamics simulations starting from the low energy minima show conformational transitions with a time scale of 10-50 ps among several of the minima while large barriers between other minima prevent transitions on the time scale studied. Simulations of this disaccharide in the presence of solvent show fewer conformational transitions, illustrating a dampening effect of the solvent that has been observed in some other studies. Our results are most consistent with an equilibrium among multiple conformations for the Neu5Ac α(2 → 3) Gal β linkage. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    The effect of the L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid residue on protein conformation. IV. Local substitutions in the collagen triple helix (1994)

    Notes: The properties of collagen are affected by the replacement of Pro by imino acid analogues. The structural effect of the low-level local substitution of L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (Aze) has been analyzed by computing the energy of CH3CO-(Gly-Pro-Pro)4-NHCH3 triple helices in which a single residue of one strand has been replaced by Aze. When Aze is in position Y of a (Gly-X-Y) unit, low-energy local deformations are introduced in the triple helix, i.e., it becomes more flexible. On the other hand, the flexibility of the triple helix is not increased with Aze in position X. The energy of the triple helix to coil transition is not changed significantly by this amount of substitution. In an earlier study, we have demonstrated that the regular substitution of Aze in every tripeptide distorts or destabilizes the triple helix to a large extent [A. Zagari, G. Némethy, & H. A. Scheraga (1990) Biopolymers, Vol. 30, pp. 967-974 ]. Thus, it appears that a high level of substitution is required to cause the observed chemical and biological effects of Aze on collagen. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A dielectric relaxation peak due to bound water of globule proteins in aqueous solution was observed at first by the use of a time domain reflectometry. This peak locates around 100 MHz as well as that of the aqueous DNA solution and the moist collagen, and has a relaxation strength in proportion to surface of the globule protein except for trypsin and pepsin of hydrolase. It is suggested that this peak is caused by orientation of bound water molecules on the protein surface. The number of bound water molecules estimated is in good agreement with that obtained by other method such as x-ray analysis. The solution exhibits another peak below 100 MHz, which is caused by the rotation of globule protein supplemented by migration of the counterion. Its relaxation time is completely proportional to the molecular weight of the protein. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The enthalpies of interactions of porcine arterial elastin with alkali metal and alkali earth halides and sulphates were investigated by means of flow microcalorimetry and the stoichiometry measured using radiotracer techniques. In aqueous solutions, all alkali earth halides interacted exothermically at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 2.5M. All the alkali metal halides, particularly NaCl, exhibited complex concentration-dependent interactions, exothermic at low concentrations and endothermic at high concentrations. Both the anion and cation contributed to the response, although the anion seemed to dominate. SO42- interacted most strongly of the anions tested. All interactions were reversible in the sense that repeat experiments gave identical results, but the enthalpy of “adsorption” was generally different from that of “desorption.” The enthalpy of interaction depended on the conformation of the elastin in a salt-specific manner. For example, CaCl2 and MgCl2 interacted similarly in water but very differently in 1 : 1 water : methanol. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The photophysical behavior of protoporphyrin IX (P) and 1-naphthylacetic acid (N), covalently bound to ε-amino groups of poly (L-lysine) (PL), was investigated by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence as a function of pH. Within the whole range of pH explored, i.e., 7-11, exciplex emission is minor and nearly pH independent. Fluorescence quantum yields, decay time measurements, and transient absorption spectra suggest that quenching of the excited naphthyl chromophore chiefly occurs by interconversion to the triplet state when the sample is randomly coiled and by intramolecular electron transfer (ET) from ground-state porphyrin when the polypeptide is in α-helical conformation. The kinetic law, based on a two-state model for the polymeric matrix, is presented. The specific rate constant of photoinduced ET is 3.1 · 107 s-1 (25°C), in excellent agreement with that obtained by taking simply into account the lifetimes of naphthalene fluorescence in α-helical PNPL and NPL (pH 11). The relaxation time of the helix-coil transition was found to be definitely shorter than 20 ns. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Aggregation of filipin in aqueous medium and filipin-induced changes in cholesterol micelles have been studied using intensity and dynamic light scattering. The dependencies of filipin aggregate dimensions on concentration, solvent, and temperature were studied, and revealed that the aggregates do not have a well-defined geometry, i.e., a critical micelle concentration cannot be detected and stable structures are not formed. The aggregates are of size Rg ≈ 110 nm and Rh ≈ 63 nm, referring to the radius of gyration and hydrodynamic radius, respectively. In the concentration range studied (1 μM 〈 C 〈 30 μM), a low molecular weight species (monomer/dimer) is always present together with the aggregates. In ethanol/ water mixtures, large (Rg ≈ 500 nm), narrow distribution aggregates are formed in the water volume fraction range 0.45 〈 ΦH2O 〈 0.65. Aggregation also occurs on changing the temperature; In the range 7-37°C, smaller aggregates (10-30 nm) form and the process is only partially reversible.No pronounced effect of filipin on the structure of the cholesterol micelles was observed (a small increase in Rg and Rh is noted). These results rule out any “specificity” for the filipin interactions with cholesterol, which has been considered a key event in the filipin biochemical mode of action. A reevaluatiori Of this question is suggested and some alternatives are advanced. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Polypeptide α-carbon backbones were modeled as freely rotating chains made up of spherical monomers. The monomers were assigned an abstract binary “hydrophobicity” property that could be either present or absent. Under the assumption that “hydrophobic” residues tend to cluster together, away from the polar solvent, three-dimensional conformations of random copolymers of “hydrophobic” and “hydrophilic” monomers were calculated by a novel algorithm based on distance geometry techniques. The simulated molecules were globular and compact, in shape, and possessed distinct hydrophobic cores, indicating that our method was capable of reproducing some of the important global features of real polypeptides. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The linear nonapeptide hormone bradykinin (Arg1-Pro2-Pro3-Gly4-Phe5-Ser6-Pro7-Phe8-Arg9) is involved, either directly or indirectly, in a wide variety of physiological processes, particularly pain and hyperanalgesia. Additional evidence suggests that bradykinin also plays a major role in inflammatory response, asthma, sepsis, and symptoms associated with the rhinoviral infection. It has long been speculated that a β-turn at the C-terminus of bradykinin plays a major role in the biological activity of the neuropeptide. The β-turn forming potential of bradykinin in three vastly different local chemical environments, DMSO, 9 : 1 dioxane/water, and in the presence of 7.4 mM lyso phosphatidylcholine micelles, was investigated using two-dimensional homonuclear nmr experiments coupled with simulated annealing calculations. The results of these investigations show that in all three systems residues 6-9 of the C-terminus adopt very similar β-turn like structures. These results suggest that the β-turn at the C-terminus of bradykinin is an important secondary structural feature for receptor recognition and binding. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Using dynamic light scattering (DLS), we have measured the diffusion coefficient and internal motions of narrow topoisomer distributions of pUCl8 DNA (2687 base pairs) as a function of linking number. The topoisomer distributions were prepared by C-18 reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography separation of topoisomerase I/ethidium-generated topoisomer families. The measured diffusion coefficients agree well with those predicted by a Monte Carlo model for the generation of equilibrium ensembles of DNA topoisomers of defined linking number. The only parameters used in the model were the bending persistence length, torsional rigidity, and hydrodynamic radius of DNA known independently from other techniques. Two different values for the torsional rigidity, α = 4 · 10-12 and 8.8 · 10-12 dyn cm, were used. Intrachain interactions in the DNA were taken into account by using an “effective DNA radius,” which was varied between rDNA = 1-8 nm. The best agreement between the measured and calculated values was obtained for α = 4 · 10-12 dyn cm, rDNA = 4 nm. The internal motions of the DNA topoisomers were characterized by the amplitude of the fast relaxation of the DLS autocorrelation function. Our earlier result that supercoiling leads to a decrease in the amplitude of internal motion was confirmed. In addition, we see a characteristic maximum of the internal motion amplitude at a superhelix density of σ = -0.03. The maximum occurs in the same range as a structural transition in pUC8 dimers previously described by L. Song et al. (1990 J. Mol. Biol. 214, 307-326). © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The interaction of a series of 2-phenylquinoline derivatives with RNA was investigated by means of viscometric, pKa, spectroscopic, binding, Tm, and kinetic methods. Compounds 1,2, and 3 have a piperazyl substituent at the para, meta, or ortho position, respectively, while 4 has an unsubstituted phenyl ring. The pKa results suggest that 1 has three charges, 2 and 3 have more than two charges, and 4 has two charges at pH 6.2. Spectroscopic and Tm results indicate that 1 binds more strongly to RNA than 2-4. Kinetic and modeling results indicate that 1 is a threading intercalator while 2 and 4 are classical intercalators. All experimental results indicate that 3, which has a large twist between the phenyl and quinoline rings, binds weakly with RNA. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Urethane bonds, derived from the hydroxyl group of the tyrosine side chain, have been investigated as a new type of amide bond mimetic in the design of pseudopeptides. The structure of a representative cyclic pseudotetrapeptide that consists of an  -  Ala  -  Tyr(urethane) Ala  -  Tyr (urethane) sequence fused into a rigid ring has been studied in the solid state by x-ray crystallography and in solution by two-dimensional nmr techniques. The cyclic pseudotetrapeptide has an oblong shape. The backbone urethane bonds assume a trans-trans conformation. The carbonyl groups in the ring have an alternating pattern of down, up, down, up with respect to the average ring plane. Solution nmr studies give observed nuclear Overhauser effects and coupling constants largely in agreement with the crystal structure. However, in solution the observed structure is likely to be conformationally averaged, and in the averaged structure, the urethane bond is perpendicular to the plane of the aromatic ring of the tyrosine, while in the crystal it is close to this plane. These differences may be explained by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions. Four aspects of the conformation of the cyclic pseudotetrapeptide were investigated in detail: the tyrosine residue with the attached side-chain urethane bond (the tyrosine-urethane unit), the conformation of the two urethane backbone linkages, the conformation of the two conventional peptide bonds within this unusual ring structure, and the tight turns within the cyclic pseudotetrapeptide. The conformation of the tight turns present in the cyclic pseudotetrapeptide is very similar to that of a β-bend of type II. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding, joining adjacent layers of the cyclic pseudotetrapeptide in the solid state, resemble a parallel β-pleated sheet. The presence of these structural motifs in the cyclic pseudotetrapeptide indicates that the tyrosine urethane unit may find applications in peptide and protein engineering. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We have developed a model for the simulation of the structure and dynamics of covalently closed circular DNA. It is based on the generalization of the original Brownian dynamics algorithm [D. L. Ermak & J. A. McCammon (1978) Journal of Chemical Physics, Vol. 69, pp. 1352-1359; M. Fixman (1978) Journal of Chemical Physics, Vol. 69, pp. 1527-1537] developed for bead-chain models of linear DNA to a second order numerical integration [ A. Iniesta & J. Garcia de la Torre (1990) Journal of Chemical Physics.Vol. 92, pp. 2015-2018], which we extended here to accommodate the torsional potential. The topological constraints and torsional-bending coupling in superhelical DNA are explicitly taken into account in this work by adapting a model for torsional-bending motion of linear DNA developed by Allison et al. [S. A. Allison, R. Austin, & M. Hogan (1989) Journal of Chemical Physics, Vol. 90, pp. 3843-3854].The dynamics of closed DNAs of 1124 base pairs (380 nm in length) were simulated up to ≅ 40 μs for linking number differences ΔLk between 0 and -6. Each bead in the model corresponded to 37 base pairs.For -2 ≅ ΔLk -6, the writhing number appears to decay to a limiting negative value with a single exponential law, and the relaxation time of this decay, starting from a planar closed molecule, is 3-6 μs. For the trajectories studied here, the formation of the superhelix proceeds through an initial phase of 1-2 μs where a toroidal-like structure is formed, which then converts into an interwound structure starting from a random nucleation site. For one simulation at ΔLk = -6, a branched structure was observed that did not convert into the linear interwound form for the time course of the simulation (31 μs).A verification of the simulation was performed by computing the diffusion coefficient of the 1124 base pair circle through known hydrodynamic formulas or through the center of mass displacement, and comparing these theoretical values with diffusion coefficients previously measured by dynamic light scattering. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
