    Notes: A prominent feature of tip growth in filamentous plant cells is that the nucleus often migrates in step with the tip as it extends. We have studied this long-recognized but unexplained relationship in root hairs of the legume Vicia hirsuta by a variety of microscopic techniques. Using rhodaminyl lysine phallotoxin, and antitubulin antibodies, root hairs are shown to contain axial bundles of F-actin and a complex microtubular system. To the basal side of the nucleus the microtubules are cortical and net axial but in the region between nucleus and tip the arrangement is more complicated. Electron microscopic thin sections demonstrate that internal bundles of microtubles exist in addition to the plasma membrane-associated kind. Computerized deblurring of through-focal series of antitubulin stained hairs clarifies the three-dimensional organization: bundles of endoplasmic microtubules progress from the nuclear region toward the apical dome where they can be seen to fountain out upon the cortex.The relationship between nucleus and tip can be uncoupled with antimicrotubule herbicides. Time lapse video microscopy shows that these agents cause the nucleus to migrate toward the base. This contrary migration can be inhibited by adding cytochalasin D, which fragments the F-actin bundles.It is concluded that microtubules connect the nucleus to the tip but that F-actin is involved in basipetal migration as is known to occur when symbiotic bacteria uncouple the nucleus from the tip.

    Notes: We examined the selectivity of the bovine pulmonary artery endothelial monolayer in vitro to molecules of different sizes. The cultured bovine pulmonary endothelial monolayer was grown on a gelatinized filter and the transendothelial transport was studied by determining the permeability of molecules ranging from 182 to 340,000 daltons under diffusion conditions. The permeabilities across the cultured bovine endothelium were modeled according to cylindrical pore theory. The data were best fit by a two-pore model with radii 65 Å and 304 Å and a ratio of small to large pores of 160:1. The results indicate that the cultured endothelial monolayer is a selective barrier to molecules of different sizes and that the molecular selectivity is consistent with a diffusional pathway through endothelial pore equivalents. The cultured endothelial monolayer is a useful system for studying the permeability characteristics of the endothelial barrier.

    Notes: The combined application of protein structural techniques, immunochemistry, and molecular biology has permitted an analysis of the differential expression of the genes for the three related protein kinases, C-α, -β, and γ. The evidence now suggests that the type of protein kinase C in a cell may govern the nature and mechanisms of functional responses.

    Description: The classical and anomalous transport properties of a multifluid plasma consisting of H(+), O(+), and electron populations in the presence of auroral field-aligned return currents are investigated, using a multimoment fluid model with anomalous transport coefficients. The macroscopic effects of the electrostatic ion cyclotron (EIC) instability and of an EIC-related anomalous resistivity mechanism which heats the electrons are included in the present version of the model. The responses of the outflowing polar wind plasma to the application of current, with and without instabilities, are exhibited. The simulations show that the electron drift velocity corresponding to a return current of 0.65 micro-A/sq m is above the threshold for EIC waves. Downward electron heat flow competes with upward convection and adiabatic effects to determine the direction of the electron temperature anisotropy. Resistive electron heating lowers the critical drift velocity for marginal EIC stability and leads to enhanced ion heating.

    Description: This article provides a broad survey of U.S. progress during the quadrennium 1983-1986 in the category 'numerical simulations of magnetospheric plasmas'. There has been a substantial increase of activity in this area during this period. Simulations have been instrumental in providing valuable insights into large scale dynamic phenomena, nonlinear effects, and complex kinetic phenomena in a wide variety of subject areas, including shocks and double layers, ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling phenomena, and important microphysical processes such as broadband electrostatic noise. The methodology of computer simulation has also been advanced during this quadrennium. Vlasov algorithms have been improved; hybrid codes in 2 and 3D have been developed and applied to magnetospheric problems; and complex problems have been subjected with increasing frequency to a multipronged attack in which several types of simulation models, each designed to accurately model phenomena within a particular range of temporal or spatial scales, are employed synergistically.
