The lack of a suitable demembranated cell model has hindered the
study of the mechanisms responsible for the regulation of ciliary
waveform and coordination. In this study procedures for the
isolation of ciliated cells from the newt, Taricha granulosa, by
trypsin dissociation, and their subsequent demembranation with Triton
X-100 and...
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., cv. NK894) seedlings, grown hydroponically, were exposed to ozone concentrations of 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 ppm at 60% RH, or 0.0
and 0.3 ppm at 30% and 90% RH, for 6 h/d, for four consecutive days, at ages 15 to 18 days from seeding. Plant...
Apoplastic distribution patterns of atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-
6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine], glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)-
glycine], the naturally occurring apoplastic leaf solutes, and
the apoplastic dye PTS (trisodium 3-hydroxy-5,8,10-pyrenetrisulfonate)
were compared. Aliquots of sap were expressed from intact
sunflower leaves in a pressure chamber over intervals of 0.2 to 0.4
bars. Three distinct fractions were detected...
During 2 seasons effects of high and low irrigation (water applied
at -0.6 and -2.5 bars soil water potential, respectively) and
density were evaluated on yield parameters and flower/pod development
at mainstem nodes 2 and 6 (terminal) of 'Oregon 1604', a determinate
snap bean. High and low plant densities were...
