    Notes: Abstract. Stomatal conductance and needle water potential of P. radiata clones were measured after 2, 5 and 8 months on plants grown in controlled environment rooms with markedly different water vapour saturation deficits (D). Conductance was significantly lower at high D, but water potential differences between treatments were not significant. When trees were moved between treatments most of the changes in conductances occurred within 2 h, with residual changes after 24 h. Water potentials were not different 24 h after the trees were moved. The effects were completely reversible.Transpiration rates of individual trees were highest in the high D treatment and lowest in the low D treatment. They were not linearly related to D because of decreasing conductance with increasing D.Height growth, diameter growth and foliage areas were not significantly different between treatments. Tracheid lumen diameters tended to be larger in trees grown at higher D although treatment differences were not significant.There were significant clonal differences in shoot conductance and tracheid dimensions.

    Notes: Annual electro fishing surveys were carried out over an 11-year period at five sites on an upland river, which was subject to dredging operations in connection with a land drainage scheme. Four of the sites were dredged 3 years after the start of the survey and one control site remained undredged throughout. The results indicated that dredging operations initially reduced Salmonid densities and that there was subsequently a progressive downstream recovery, with fry densities taking up to 6 years to improve at the most downstream site. Yearling and older fish recovered to pre-drainage scheme levels more rapidly than fry.Changes in population structure were also observed at three of the dredged sites. Two sites were considerably deepened and finally contained larger numbers of older fish than prior to the drainage scheme. The opposite effect was found to have taken place at a site, which became shallower as a result of drainage works, and contained larger numbers of fry at the end of the survey.Increased fish growth rates were also observed at all sites over the experimental period, and this may have been correlated with enrichment of the river system by leaching from increased fertilizer usage within the catchments.

    Notes: Soybeans, Glycine max (L.) Merr., from ureides for transport of nitrogen from the root nodule to the shoot. The most direct routes for ureide utilization include the degradation of ureide-derived urea to NH3 and CO2. Ureolytic activity was found in leaf disks of soybean and exhbited optimal activity at pH 7 in the presence of a high concentration of urea (250 mM). In vitro studies showed neither urea amidolyase nor urea dehydrogenase activity in soybean leaves and the ureolytic activity was characterized as urease. Several biochemical properties of soybean leaf urease were determined and compared to seed urease properties. Soybean leaf urease differed from that of seed in five ways: pH optima (5.25 and 8.75), apparent Km (0.8 mM), no inhibition by hydroxyurea, faster electrophoretic mobility and no cross-reactivity with soybean seed urease antibodies. The data suggest that urease is the primary urea metabolizing enzyme present in soybean leaves. The properties of soybean leaf urease support the conclusion that a unique isozyme of urease is present in leaf tissue.

    Notes: Abstract. Several factors affecting the potency of Yersinia ruckeri bacterins were evaluated by vaccinating rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson, with various bacterins using the immersion method and determining the level of protective immunity after a virulent challenge. The potency of bacterins prepared with tryptic soya broth at room temperature was not affected by growth at pH from 6.5 to 7.7 or by a culture age from 9 to 96 h. Chloroform and formalin inactivated (0.3%) bacterins gave comparable results and no enhancement of potency occurred by prior extraction of bacterial cells with either butanol or phenol. Cell lysis, as measured by reduced optical density, occurred when cells were held at pH 9–8 for 60 to 120 min. Bacterins prepared from pH-lysed cells resulted in a significant increase in protective immunity. Bacterins prepared at pH 7.2 for 48 h, pH-lysed and inactivated with 0.3 % formalin could be diluted up to 1:100 without loss of efficacy when applied to rainbow trout by a single 20 s immersion. However, with bacterin diluted 1:10 loss of potency occurred after 20 consecutive immersions (100 kg of fish) in the same bacterin at a rate of 0.5 kg/1 of diluted bacterin for each immersion. Factors affecting optimum duration of immunity are discussed.

    Notes: Underwater photogrammetry is being used in the particularly hostile environment of the North Sea where it has been put into commercially viable operation. The authors discuss underwater photogrammetry related to other means of inspection of oil platforms. They also deal with operational experience of 35 mm and 70 mm cameras, camera calibration, the provision of control and photogrammetric observations and data analysis. The demand for underwater photogrammetry continues to grow.

    Notes: : The stability in water of a novel new chloramine agent, 3-chloro-4, 4-dimethyl-2-oxazolidinone (agent I), which is an excellent water disinfectant, has been compared to the stabilities of several other water disinfectants. The agents tested in addition to agent I included N-chlorosuccinimide, 2, 4-dichloro-5, 5-dimethylhydantoin, tichloroisocyanuric acid, calcium hypochlorite, commercial grade HTH, and household bleach. The total chlorine content of a water solution of agent I in a demand free environment remains constant over a period of at least eight weeks, while that for all of the other agents declines markedly over that time period. An explanation for these observations will be offered. Prior work in these laboratories concerning use of agent I as a disinfectant for lake water in a laboratory scale treatment plant had shown that agent I has considerable potential for use as an alternative to chlorine gas for water disinfection.

    Notes: Treatment of ground beef samples with heat (conventional and microwave), ascorbic acid, or H2O2 increased nonheme iron concentrations. The increases ranged from less than 10% to more than 100% depending on the type, length, and severity of the treatment. Cooking of fresh beef round using common household methods (braising, roasting, microwave cooking) resulted in nonheme iron increases that were generally less than 10%. Treatment of hemin and meat extract solutions with heat and H2O2 resulted in destruction of the iron-porphyrin complex. Oxidative cleavage of the porphyrin ring followed by release of the iron is probably the mechanism for the observed increases in nonheme iron.

    Notes: ADDITION of sodium bisulfite (100–500 ppm) to water extracts of slime from fresh and oxidized whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) caused immediate and nearly complete suppression of fishy aromas. Chromatograms of headspace volatiles revealed the selective removal of influential carbonyl compounds through the formation of bisulfite addition products. Poaching whitefish fillets in bisulfite solutions (200 ppm) also yielded significantly suppressed oxidized and fishy flavors compared to similar untreated samples when evaluated by sensory analysis. Odor assessments of pH-adjusted (3—12) water extracts of fish slime showed that bisulfite was active over the entire pH range, but was most effective in suppressing aromas over the mid-ranges (5.5–8.5).

    Notes: Abstract. Plants of Pinus radiata of two physiological ages, juvenile (seedlings and micropropagated plantlets) and adult (rooted cuttings from mature trees), were grown under lighting fromthree combinations of metal halide (MH) and tungsten halogen (TH) lamps for up to 10 months in controlled environment rooms. The three lamp combinations, MH alone, 50: 50 MH: TH and 25:75 MH: TH by wattage, produced red: farred ratios of 4.59, 1.51, and 1.15, respectively. Photosynthetic photon flux density was 700 μmol m−2 s−1. An increase in proportion of TH lamps markedly increased shoot elongation and internode length, decreased numbers of fascicles per unit stem length and increased the proportion of stem weight in both juvenile and adult material. In addition, in adult material, it increased the number of fascicle initials and expanded fascicles per growth flush, reduced the duration of the ‘rest’ phase between growth flushes, accelerated the rate of elongation growth during each flush, and increased apical dominance. Tracheid length, but not diameter or wall thickness, was significantly affected by light quality and found to be associated with longer internodes. Any treatment effects on needle weight or length, stem diameter or root weight were non-significant or very small. Different clones from either the juvenile micro-propagated material or the mature rooted cuttings each showed similar patterns of response, although they often differed in the degree of response to light quality. The main response could be related solely to the red: far-red ratio and the calculated phytochrome photoequilibrium. This is the first report of phytochrome-controlled photomorphogenesis in older specimens of a woody perennial. Recommendations for artificial light sources for growing P. radiata and some ecological implications of the results are presented.

    Notes: The effects of different populations of volunteer winter wheal and their control with ethofumesate and TCA on growth, seed yield and yield components of S.24 perennial ryegrass were investigated in lield experiments in 1978 and 1979.Reductions in ryegrass seed yield due to the presence of wheat depended on the density of wheat and the number and dry weight of ryegrass tillers. The greatest percentage reduction in ryegrass seed yield occurred at high densities of wheat (300 plants m−2) when the number of ear-bearing tillers and 1000 seed weight of ryegrass were reduced. When Ihe density of wheat was low (80 plants m−2) a smaller reduction in ryegrass seed yield occurred and the number of live wheat plants remaining gradually decreased. Within the range of wheat densities in these experiments (0–300 plants m −2) a 1% loss in ryegrass seed yield occurred for every 10 wheal plants m−2 present in the crop post winter.Both herbicides caused a reduction in number of ryegrass tillers during growth but, except where TCA was applied at 12 kg ha−1 in November, ryegrass seed yields were not significantly reduced (in comparison with a wheat-free control) and were always greater than those obtained in the presence of wheat where no herbicides had been applied. Levels of volunteer infestation of 300 wheat plants m−2 were controlled with minimum risk of crop damage by applications of 6 kg ha−1 TCA in either October or November, or by application of 1–9 kg ha−1 ethofumesate in November.
