    Notes: Summary Single-channel recordings from outside-out patches ofAplysia neurones in K-free solutions revealed the presence in most membrane patches of ionic channels showing surprising selectivity properties, as deduced from reversal potential measurements. After complete substitution of external NaCl by mannitol (in the presence of internal CsCl), these channels are more permeable to Cl than to Cs, but are also slightly permeable to Cs:P Cl/P Cs=4. Furthermore, in the presence of external NaCl, their ability to discriminate cations from anions seems lower than in external mannitol. Substitutions of external Cl by various anions showed that the channels are more permeable to NO3 than to Cl, and that they are appreciably permeable to isethionate, SO4 and methanesulfonate. Their elementary conductance is about 100 pS in 600mm symmetrical Cl. However, different conductance states (usually 2 or 3) can often be detected in the same membrane patch. By using voltage ramps, we established theI–V curves corresponding to each of these states and found small but significant differences between the reversal potentials of each state.

    Notes: Hasenstein, K. H. and Evans, M. L. 1988. The influence of calcium and pH on growth in primary roots of Zea mays. - Physiol. Plant. 72: 466–470.We investigated the interaction of Ca2+ and pH on root elongation in Zea mays L. cv. B73 × Missouri 17 and cv. Merit. Seedlings were raised to contain high levels of Ca2+ (HC, imbibed and raised in 10 mM CaCl2) or low levels of Ca2+ (LC, imbibed and raised in distilled water). In HC roots, lowering the pH (5 mM MES/Tris) from 6.5 to 4.5 resulted in strong, long-lasting growth promotion. Surprisingly, increasing the pH from 6.5 to 8.5 also resulted in strong growth promotion. In LC roots acidification of the medium (pH 6.5 to 4.5) resulted in transient growth stimulation followed by a gradual decline in the growth rate toward zero. Exposure of LC roots to high pH (pH shift from 6.5 to 8.5) also promoted growth. Addition of EGTA resulted in strong growth promotion in both LC and HC roots. The ability of EGTA to stimulate growth appeared not to be related to H+ release from EGTA upon Ca2+ chelation since, 1) LC roots showed a strong and prolonged response to EGTA, but only a transient response to acid pH, and 2) promotion of growth by EGTA was observed in strongly buffered solutions. We also examined the pH dependence of the release of 45Ca2+ from roots of 3-day-old seedlings grown from grains imbibed in 45Ca2+. Release of 45Ca2+ from the root into agar blocks placed on the root surface was greater the more acidic the pH of the blocks. The results indicate that Ca2+ may be necessary for the acid growth response in roots.

    Notes: We investigated the effect of Ca2+ on ethylene production in 2-cm long apical segments from primary roots of corn (Zea mays L., B73 × Missouri 17) seedlings. The seedlings were raised under different conditions of Ca2+ availability. Low-Ca and high-Ca seedlings were raised by soaking the grains and watering the seedlings with distilled water or 10 mM CaCl2, respectively. Segments from high-Ca roots produced more than twice as much ethylene as segments from low-Ca roots. Indoleacetic acid (IAA; 1 μM) enhanced ethylene production in segments from both low-Ca and high-Ca roots but auxin-induced promotion of ethylene production was consistently higher in segments from high-Ca roots. Addition of I-aminocyclopropane-I-carboxylic acid (ACC) to root segments from low-Ca seedlings doubled total ethylene production and the rate of production remained fairly constant during a 24 h period of monitoring. In segments from high-Ca seedlings ACC also increased total ethylene production but most of the ethylene was produced within the first 6 h. The data suggest that Ca2+ enhances the conversion of ACC to ethylene. The terminal 2 mm of the root tip were found to be especially important to ethylene biosynthesis by apical segments and, experiments using 45Ca2+ as tracer indicated that the apical 2 mm of the root is the region of strongest Ca2+ accumulation. Other cations such as Mn2+, Mg2+, and K+ could largely substitute for Ca2+. The significance of these findings is discussed with respect to recent evidence for gravity-induced Ca2+ redistribution and its relationship to the establishment of asymmetric growth during gravitropic curvature.

    Notes: Abstract Systemically administered fluorescein (F) is rapidly transformed to the fluorescent metabolite fluorescein glucuronide (FG). Little is known about how diseases can influence the synthesis or disposition of FG. We studied F and FG in the plasma ultrafiltrate of 75 people who were normal or had diabetes, retinitis pigmentosa, or idiopathic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. F and FG were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The concentration of FG was comparable to F 1 h after an intravenous injection of F, both in normal subjects and in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, which suggests that FG may not be an important contributor to the vitreous fluorescence at that time. At later times FG substantially exceeded F. The concentration of FG was significantly higher in diabetics than in the other groups 14 h after an oral dose of F. Accordingly, the possible effect of disease on plasma dye concentrations should be considered in studies measuring F by fluorescence hours after systemic F administration, since this could influence the intraocular fluorescence irrespective of any alteration in ocular function.

    Notes: Abstract A computer-based video digitizer system is described which allows automated tracking of markers placed on a plant surface. The system uses customized software to calculate relative growth rates at selected positions along the plant surface and to determine rates of gravitropic curvature based on the changing pattern of distribution of the surface markers. The system was used to study the time course of gravitropic curvature and changes in relative growth rate along the upper and lower surface of horizontally-oriented roots of maize (Zea mays L.). The growing region of the root was found to extend from about 1 mm behind the tip to approximately 6 mm behind the tip. In vertically-oriented roots the relative growth rate was maximal at about 2.5 mm behind the tip and declined smoothly on either side of the maximum. Curvature was initiated approximately 30 min after horizontal orientation with maximal (50°) curvature being attained in 3 h. Analysis of surface extension patterns during the response indicated that curvature results from a reduction in growth rate along both the upper and lower surfaces with stronger reduction along the lower surface.

    Notes: Abstract The findings of a number of clinical investigators across a wide variety of situations and using a wide variety of observational procedures agree on the disruptive effects of emotional distress upon diabetic control. An integrative model of coordinated neural and hormonal reactions to emotional stress and their additive and potentiating effects on intermediary metabolism in proposed. The end result of these effects, as part of a general fight/flight or defense-alarm reaction, is a strong energy mobilization response (namely, a sharp rise in blood glucose and free fatty acid levels resulting in increased levels of serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and ketone bodies), which the diabetic cannot readily counterregulate. It is further proposed that increased diabetic control, together with lower insulin requirements, may result from the inclusion of stress management procedures as an adjunct to traditional medical treatment. The findings of a large number of investigators supporting these propositions are presented and discussed.
