    Notes: Abstract. Growth and cytology of root apical meristems of Chinese Spring wheat were studied in relation to temperature. The maximum rate of growth increased with temperature, a marked rise occurring between 10°C and 12°C. At all temperatures studied nucleolar volume increased to a maximum and then declined. The maximum nucleolar size achieved showed particular temperature sensitivity, higher volumes being attained at lower temperatures. The peak at 5°C was 70% higher than at 20°C. However, in comparison, cell and nuclear volumes were only 38% and 47% larger, respectively. Ultrastructural analysis of the nucleoli revealed a temperature-dependent relationship between the proportion of granular component and dense fibrillar component. The results are discussed in relation to the regulation of ribosome synthesis and function during growth and development at different temperatures.

    Notes: Summary Wheat roots from germinating seedlings of Chinese spring wheatTriticum aestivum grown for 36 hours at 20°C were examined by conventional thin-section electron microscopy. Virus-like particles were seen inside a large cytoplasmic intrusion into the nucleus having the appearence of a nucleolar vacuole. The particles were isometric and about 50 nm in diameter with a membrane-like coat and a small core. The cytoplasmic intrusion was bounded by nuclear envelope with pores apparent where it abutted nucleoplasm. The particles are similar to previously reported solitary particles “S bodies” from a range of plants but are also similar in size and morphology to the retroposon particles associated with copia like elements in other organisms. The position of the virus-like particles in the young wheat roots is discussed in relation to interactions with components of the cell skeleton.

    Notes: Summary The distribution of ferritin antigenicity in control and iron-loaded rat hepatocytes was investigated with an immunogold-ferritin antibody technique. Antibody to horse spleen ferritin showed immunoreactivity as determined by dot blotting with immunogold/silver staining with purified rat liver ferritin but not with rat haemosiderin. The initial site of ferritin degradation was studied by analysing the density of gold labelling in the cytosol and lysosomes in combination with pre-embedding acid phosphatase cytochemistry. Immunoreactive ferritin was present in the cytosol, cytosolic clusters and lysosomes of normal hepatocytes. After iron-loading, the labelling density increased over tenfold in parenchymal cell cytosol with a smaller increase in Kupffer cells. Ferritin clusters contained substantially more immunoreactive ferritin than equivalent areas of lysosomes or cytosol. Analysis of the labelling density in hepatocyte lysosomes showed that, despite a striking increase in iron content, one-quarter of the lysosomes showed less immunolabelled ferritin than the cytosol. The existence of a wide range of ferritin labelling densities in the lysosomes with a large proportion unlabelled suggests that the ferritin protein shell is not degraded at a significant rate either in the cytosol or in clusters but only after incorporation into lysosomes.

    Description: SUMMARYGrowth and water use of kabuli-type chickpea was measured during the 1982/83 and 1983/84 growing seasons in northern Syria under rainfed conditions. Winter-sown (November) and springsown (March) crops of cv. ILC 482 were grown in 1982/83 while in 1983/84 spring-sown crops of contrasting genotypes (ILC 482, ILC 1929 and ILC 3279) were compared.In 1982/83, shoot dry matter and seed yields of the winter-sown crop were almost twice those of the spring-sown crop although the water use of both crops was almost the same. Root growth of both crops was most rapid before flowering but continued until maturity (early June) in the winter-sown and until mid to late pod filling (also early June) in the spring-sown crop. Root dry weight (c. 45 g/m2) and length (c. 45 cm/cm2) were similar in both crops during pod filling.In 1983/84, shoot weight, root weight and root length were similar in all genotypes but the later maturity of ILC 3279 resulted in lower seed yield and hence harvest index, and greater water use.The root length density decreased approximately logarithmically with depth in the soil profile although comparison between seasons and with other published results showed that the relations could not be used predictively. Water use efficiency was poorer in the second, drier season and was almost doubled by winter sowing.

    Description: summaryIn the Highlands of Kenya every 1-week delay in planting maize after the onset of the rains reduces the grain yield by approximately 0·6 t/ha. No satisfactory explanation has been found for this phenomenon. A physiological growth study was made on four dates of planting per year over 4 years. Early growth rates and maximum crop growth rates showed a progressive decline with delay in planting which resulted in smaller plants at 5 weeks post-emergence and at 50 % tassel emergence in maize planted later. There was a strong relationship between the size of plant at tasselling and the final grain yield and a highly significant relationship (r = 0·94) between the size of plant at 5 weeks post emergence and the final grain yield. Other environmental studies showed that soil temperature at 7·5 cm, coupled with a soil moisture stress factor, largely controlled the dry-matter production rate during early growth, and consideration of the mean value of these two variables over the first 5 weeks of growth accounted for 70% of the variation of dry matter at 5 weeks post-emergence. It was further shown that 82% of the variation in final grain yield caused by date of planting could be accounted for by consideration of the mean value of these two variables during the first 5 weeks of growth.

    Description: SUMMARYA Kenya Highland maize was planted at three altitudes, 1268, 1890 and 2250 m. Development rate, dry-matter accumulation and leaf area production were recorded during vegetative growth, together with grain formation and dry-matter accumulation in the primary cob. Rainfall, insolation, soil and air temperatures were continuously recorded at all sites. Maize developed faster at low warm altitudes, the rate being dependent on soil and air temperature. During vegetative growth, this relationship could be satisfactorily explained by an integrated temperature, but during the reproductive phase, some allowance had to be made for over optimal temperatures at low warm altitudes. Altitude had little effect on crop leaf area at any particular development stage, but leaf area production rates were closely related to leaf emergence rates. Before establishment of complete ground cover, large differences in dry-matter accumulation rates were observed which appeared related to rate of leaf area production. Once full ground cover was established, crop growth rates became much more similar. Potential number of grains per embryonic primary cob was greatest at low altitudes, but the final number of grains per cob at harvest was greatest at high altitudes. Rate of increase of grain weight was constant and very similar at all sites until growth stopped abruptly at 69, 83 and 96 days after tasselling at low, medium and high altitudes respectively. Rate of accumulation and partition of total dry matter in the primary cobs was similar at all sites, but owing to greater duration of development at high altitudes, dry matter per cob increased with altitude. Large yield differences were found at harvest, yield decreasing with decreasing altitude. Yield differences were mainly due to variations in number of grains per plant, although grain size also contributed. In this and other trials it was shown that the number of grains per plant at harvest was closely related to the mean thermal growth rate (expressed in units of g/plant/growing degree day) during the grain site initiation period.

    Description: SummaryAn analysis of chickpea experiments carried out in northern Syria during the 1980–1 and 1981–2 growing seasons showed that both intercepted solar radiation and its rate of conversion to dry matter were variable components of dry-matter production. Among the sources of variation in the experiments, the most important factor affecting both interception and utilization of solar radiation was site. Winter planting also led to increased solar radiation interception and utilization. Used in conjunction with chickpea lines resistant to blight, winter planting seems likely to lead to increased productivity. In higher rainfall areas, where the crop is usually grown, such an increase would be of commercial significance. In drier areas, winter planting would enable the cultivation of chickpea as a subsistence crop.

    Description: SummaryRelations between yield, water use and pre-anthesis growth were analysed for cropsof barley grown for three seasons at several sites in northern Syria. The relations obtained were compared with those for other cereal crops grown in similar regions of Mediterranean climates.Phosphorus fertilizer application increased the rate of crop development from emergence to floral initiation and advanced anthesis by up to 11 days. Grain and total shoot dry-matter yields were increased by fertilizer (nitrogen + phosphorus) applications at all sites in all years, in most cases without increasing total evapotranspiration. The increased dry matter at anthesis was produced without having used a larger proportion of the total evapotranspiration in the whole season. Consequently, the ratio of grain yield to total above-ground dry-matter yield (harvest index) and kernel weight were also relatively stable between sites and years, despite some very low amounts of post-anthesis water use. Grain yield appeared to be largely determined by anthesis and there were strong linear relationships between grain yield or total dry-matter yield and number of kernels. Differences in water use efficiency of crops given fertilizer between sites and years were closely related to the differences in amounts of winter growth.Some responses differed from those predicted from models of growth, water use and yield developed in other regions with similar climates. It is concluded that agronomists and breeders should increase amounts of early growth thereby increasing grain and dry-matter yields. Future research emphasis should also be on the development of dynamic simulation models of pre-anthesis growth and water use.
