  • Developmental mutants of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

    Creator:
    Shii, Chou Tou
    Abstract:
    Hybrids with abnormal development were obtained when particular genotypes of Phaseolus vulgaris L. were crossed. The phenotypic aberrations of the F₁s included retarded growth, chlorosis of the trifoliate leaves and the formation of adventitious roots on the hypocotyls. The expression of the abnormalities was dependent on the temperature. At high...

  • Studies on the metabolism on n-propyl N, N-di-n-propyl thiolcarbamate in legumes

    Creator:
    Bourke, John Butts
    Abstract:
    The absorption, translocation and metabolism of a new herbicide, n-propyl-C¹⁴ N, N-di-n-propyl-thiolcarbamate (PDPC), were studied in both peanut and soybean plants. These studies were carried out on plants of different ages and treated at two rates of application. The residue content of the plants was also determined from germination to...

  • Douglas-fir bark : n-hexane-soluble and volatile materials

    Creator:
    Fang, Henry Hai-loong
    Abstract:
    Douglas-fir bark was extracted with n-hexane. A light-colored "wax-like" solid was recovered from the extract by evaporation of the solvent. Chemically intact sterol esters and ferulic acid esters were isolated from the "wax" without saponification or degradation as had been necessary in former investigations. The characterization of the intact esters...

  • Protein methylation at sites of blood vessel injury

    Creator:
    Weber, Darin J.
    Abstract:
    Blood vessel injury was found to release intracellular pools of protein D-aspartyl/L-isoaspartyl carboxyl methyltransferase (PIMT) into the extracellular milieu, where it became trapped. Trapped PIMT was able to utilize radiolabeled S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) introduced into the circulation to methylate blood vessel proteins containing altered aspartyl residues specifically at the site of...
