    Notes: Abstract Thirty-nine accessions of soyabean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] and 1 of wild annual soyabean (Glycine soja L.) were sown at two sites in Taiwan in 1989 and 1990 and on six occasions during 1990 at one site in Queensland, Australia. On two of the occasions in Australia additional treatments extended natural daylengths by 0.5 h and 2 h. The number of days from sowing for the first flower to appear on 50% of the plants in each treatment was recorded (f), and from these values the rate of progress towards flowering (1/f) was related to temperature and photoperiod. In photoperiod-insensitive accessions it was confirmed that the rate is linearly related to temperature at least up to about 29°C. In photoperiod-sensitive genotypes this is also the case in shorter daylengths but when the critical photoperiod (P c ) is exceeded flowering is delayed. This delay increases with photoperiod until a ceiling photoperiod (P ce ) is reached. Between P c and P ce , 1/f is linearly related to both temperature (positive) and photoperiod (negative), but in photoperiods longer than P ce there is no further response to either factor. The resulting triple-intersecting-plane response surface can be defined by six genetically-determined coefficients, the values of which are environment-independent but predict time to flower in any environment, and thus quantify the genotype×environment interaction. By this means the field data were used to characterise the photothermal responses of all 40 accessions. The outcome of this characterisation in conjunction with an analysis of the world-wide range of photothermal environments in which soyabean crops are grown lead to the following conclusions: (1) photoperiod-insensitivity is essential in soyabean crops in temperate latitudes, but such genotypes flower too rapidly for satisfactory yields in the tropics; (2) photoperiod-sensitivity appears to be essential to delay flowering sufficiently to allow adequate biomass accumulation in the warm climates of the tropics; (3) contrary to a widely held view, some degree of photoperiod-sensitivity is also needed in the tropics if crop-duration homeostasis is required where there is variation in sowing dates (this is achieved through a photoperiod-controlled delay in flowering which counteracts the seasonal increase in temperature that is correlated with increase in daylength); and (4) a greater degree of photoperiod-sensitivity is necessary to provide maturity-date homeostasis for variable sowing dates – a valuable attribute in regions of uncertain rainfall. Since the triple-intersecting-plane response model used here also applies to other species, the use of field data to characterise the photothermal responses of other crops is discussed briefly.

    Notes: The accessibilities of the hydroxyl groups of the D-glucopyranosyl units of slack mercerized grey yarn and of the same yarn restretched to its original length are compared with those of the original grey yarn, a purified printcloth, and a hydrocellulose. The study involved reactions of the celluloses with N,N-diethylaziridinium chloride under conditions which ensure minimum conversion of the reagent by hydrolysis to 2-hydroxyethyldiethylamine. Amylose was taken as a reference material in which the hydroxyl groups are assumed to be completely accessible. Selective accessibilities of the hydroxyl groups at C-6 and C-3 relative to those at C-2 were determined with the same reagent by a method whose development has been described earlier. The results of this study are expressed as fractions of the hydroxyl groups at C-2, C-3, and C-6 that are accessible to the reagent.

    Notes: Through a study of the selective distribution of substituents introduced into hydrocellulose from reaction with N,N-diethylaziridinium chloride, the change in selective availability of hydroxy groups at C-2, C-3, and C-6 has been followed as a function of duration of hydrolysis to form the hydrocellulose. The hydrocellulose formed at a particular duration of hydrolysis showed maximum selective availability of hydroxyl groups; this was found to coincide with minimum moisture regain and minimum breadth at half height for 101, 101, and 002 peaks in x-ray diffractograms. These points are discussed in terms of the structures of the hydrocelluloses at various stages of hydrolysis and in terms of the sequence of changes which is now associated with the conversion of fibrous cotton to “exemplar hydrocellulose,” i.e., the hydrocellulose having the highest degree of crystalline order, and subsequently, to less highly ordered hydrocelluloses.

    Notes: The relative accessibilities of the hydroxyl groups of the D-glucopyranosyl units of hydrocellulose have been studied by means of the reaction of N,N-diethylaziridinium chloride, which produces 2-(diethylamino)ethyl cellulose. The deviation in the distribution of substituents among the 2-O-, 3-O-, and 6-O-positions of the D-glucopyranosyl residues in a hydrocellulose from that in a disordered cellulose in which the three types of hydroxyl groups are equally accessible is the basis for estimating the selective accessibilities of the hydroxyl groups in the crystalline cellulose. A particular hydrocellulose, lying within the range of leveling-off degree of polymerization, was studied in detail; this hydrocellulose, designated EHC (“Exemplar Hydrocellulose”), was formed from fibrous cotton by hydrolysis for 0.67 hr in 2.5N hydrochloric acid at reflux. EHC exhibited higher selective accessibility (larger deviation from equal accessibility) of the hydroxyl groups at C-2, C-3, and C-6, than samples of hydrocellulose formed in shorter or longer periods of hydrolysis. This selective accessibility is discussed in terms of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding on the surfaces of crystalline microstructural units in EHC.
