Anthocyanin Formation in Excised Segments of Buckwheat-Seedling Hypocotyls

Anthocyanin Formation in Excised Segments of Buckwheat-Seedling Hypocotyls.

Recent studies of anthocyanin formation have involved the use of a varied assortment of plant systems: seedlings, leaves, fruits, petals, callus cultures, and Lemnaceous flowering plants (2,9). Each of these kinds of material possesses certain advantages and certain disadvantages. In the dark-grown buckwheat seedling anthocyanin synthesis can be induced in the hypocotyl by exposure of that orga...

Anthocyanin Pigments of Buckwheat Hypocotyls

Growth and gibberellin a(1) metabolism in excised lettuce hypocotyls.

Excised lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Arctic) hypocotyls retain the ability to elongate in response to exogenously supplied gibberellic acid and gibberellin A(1) (GA(1)). We have studied the relationship between metabolism of GA(1) and elongation in this tissue. In 24 hours at 28 C, hypocotyls treated with 3 mum GA(1) double in length while controls elongate less than 45%. After an exogenous h...

‏‎the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...

Rapidly Induced Wound Ethylene from Excised Segments

Wound-induced ethylene synthesis by subapical stem sections of etiolated Pisum saivum L., cv. Alaska seedlngs, as described by Saltveit and Dilley (Plant Physiol 1978 61: 447450), was half-saturated at 3.6% (v/v) 02 and saturated at about 10% 02. Corresponding values for CO2 production during the same period were 1.1% and 10% 02, respectively. Anaerobiosis stopped all ethylene evolution and del...
