    Notes: The response of adaxial and abaxial stomatal conductance in Rumex obtusifolius to growth at elevated atmospheric concentrations of CO2 (250 μmol mol−1 above ambient) was investigated over two growing seasons. The conductance of both the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces was found to be reduced by elevated concentrations of CO2. Elevated CO2 caused a much greater reduction in conductance for the adaxial surface than for the abaxial surface. The absence of effects upon stomatal density indicated that the reductions were probably the result of changes in stomatal aperture. Partitioning of gas exchange between the leaf surfaces revealed that increased concentrations of CO2 caused increased rates of photosynthesis only via the abaxial surface. Additionally, leaf thickness was found to increase during growth at elevated concentrations of CO2. The tendency for these amphistomatous leaves to develop a distribution of conductance approaching that of hypostomatous leaves clearly reduced their maximum photosynthetic potential. This conclusion was supported by measurements of stomatal limitation, which showed greater values for the adaxial surfaces, and greater values at elevated CO2. This reduction in photosynthesis may in part be caused by higher diffusive limitations imposed because of increased leaf thickness. In an uncoupled canopy, asymmetrical stomatal responses of the kind identified here may appreciably reduce transpiration. Species which show symmetrical responses are less likely to show reduced transpirational rates, and a redistribution of water loss between species may occur. The implications of asymmetrical stomatal responses for photosynthesis and canopy transpiration are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract. Red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) seedlings were overwintered in two controlled environment chambers designed to simulate sub-zero winter conditions. One of the chambers was fumigated throughout the 5-month period with low concentrations of SO2+ NO2. Extracts of extracellular fluid from trees in this treatment revealed accumulations of sulphite and nitrite, but not of sulphate or nitrate. Analysis of the chloroplast membrane lipid monogalactosyl diglyceride (MGDG) indicated a large increase in fatty acid saturation in both treatments during mid-winter, with a subsequent recovery to earlier levels. Although at the end of the experiment the MGDG of polluted trees contained significantly less linolenic acid, there was no overall treatment effect on fatty, acid content. In the following spring, there was some indication that flushing of leader buds began earlier and proceeded at a slower rate in polluted trees compared to controls, but no other growth parameters were affected by the winter treatment. The absorption of SO2 and NO2 and the accumulation of their products during dormancy is discussed as a potential mechanism for metabolic disruption, resulting in changes to seasonal responses which could be critical to the survival of the plant.

    Notes: Surveys for viruses affecting Vanilla fragrans and V. tahitensis carried out in Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Tonga and Vanuatu detected cymbidium mosaic potexvirus and odontoglossum ringspot tobamovirus in all countries; vanilla necrosis potyvirus in Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu; and vanilla mosaic potyvirus in Cook Islands, Fiji and Vanuatu. For all these viruses the surveys extended the previously known distribution in the South Pacific. Other, unreported potyviruses and rhabdovirus-like particles were detected from Fiji and Vanuatu. Symptoms associated with potyvirus infection (leaf distortion, sunken chlorotic patches, stem necrosis and vine die-back) were found in a majority of plantings in Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu; in Fiji and Tonga there were instances where up to 50% of the plants in farmers’ plots were affected.

    Notes: During 1975 and 1976 barley yellow dwarf virus was isolated, using the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) from five maize cultivars in the Exeter area. The isolates produced interveinal flecking, often accompanied by leaf reddening, in the maize cultivar Anjou 210 and several other susceptible cultivars. ln 1976 visual assessment of six commercial maize plantings indicated natural infections ranging from 11 to 14% of plants, whilst infection in a disease observation plot ranged from 0.8 to 27.5%. Population counts for the three aphid vectors Sitobion avenae (F.), Metopolophium dirhodum (W.) and Rhopalosiphum padi (L.), associated with the crop, corresponded closely with the Rothamsted Insect Survey results from Starcross, Devon.The maize cultivars Anjou 210 and De Kalb 202 were grown in experimental plots with individual rows containing 0, 25, 50, or 100% barley yellow dwarf-infected plants. Infection caused severe stunting of Anjou 210 but had less effect on De Kalb 202. Dry matter yield losses of 50% for Anjou 210 and 27% for De Kalb 202 were recorded; there were also significant changes (p〈0.05) in dry matter content, metabolisable energy, digestible crude protein and water soluble carbohydrate.

    Clay orientation in some Upper Carboniferous mudrocks, its relationship to quartz content and some inferences about fissility, porosity and compactional history (1980)

    Notes: The degree of preferred orientation of clay minerals in a series of fifteen fine-grained sediments has been precisely measured by transmitted X-ray goniometry. This varies systematically with quartz content. By contrast it is apparently unrelated to fissility since the one fissile sample (a ‘paper shale’) occurs at the mid-point of the sample series ranked in order of degree of preferred orientation. In this series fissility corresponds with the presence of fine-scale lamination. Estimates of compaction strain using the theory of March (1932) and assuming random initial clay orientation are consistent with the view that these samples started life with porosities similar to those of present-day muddy sediments. On this basis it is concluded that preferred orientation in clay-rich sediments results almost entirely from compaction strain. The degree to which this can be attained is limited by the presence of nonplaty particles (such as quartz grains) which prevent planar fabric development in their immediate vicinity.

    Oil Distribution in Fried Potatoes Monitored by Infrared Microspectroscopy (2001)

    Notes: : During the last decade much attention has been given to investigating oil absorption during frying. Several studies have suggested the key role of the dehydrated crust, which is thought to control the main mechanisms in oil absorption, that is drainage and capillary suction during post-frying cooling. To contribute to a better understanding of these mechanisms, we have used infrared microspectroscopy at the Synchrotron Radiation Source at Daresbury (UK) to monitor the oil distribution in fried potato cylinders. We report what we believe to be the first quantitative data on oil distribution within a fried product. Results show that the oil distribution within the crust reflects the anisotropic nature of the porous region in accordance with the proposed mechanism of oil absorption.

    Notes: Abstract. In recent years, jaundice disease in farmed hybrid catfish in Thailand has caused high levels of mortalities. Affected fish are lethargic and anorexic and show yellow pigmentation of the skin and gills. Internally, the spleen, kidney and gall bladder are enlarged, and the spleen, kidney, liver and body fat are a pale yellow colour. Most fish contain a yellow ascitic fluid in their abdomen. Histological examination of tissues from diseased fish revealed heavy deposits of haemosiderin and ceroid in the spleen, kidney and liver. Haematological measurements showed that haematocrit values, RBC count, haemoglobin concentration, MCH and MCHC were significantly decreased in affected fish while MCV, total bilirubin and direct reacting bilirubin were significantly increased. The results indicate that the fish are suffering from a haemolytic anaemia associated with lipoid liver degeneration. The disease is thought to be due to the feeding of rancid chicken viscera.

    Infectious pancreatic necrosis in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L. (2005)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Journal of fish diseases 28 (2005), S. 0 
    Details

    Notes: A clinical and histopathological review was carried out of 21 outbreaks of acute infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in Scottish Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., farms (13 marine and eight fresh water) during 1991–2004. A distinctive syndrome was evident in both post-smolts in sea water and fry in fresh water, where liver lesions, which had not previously been associated with IPN, became a consistent finding in addition to the more typical pancreatic and intestinal changes. Initial cases were described in post-smolts in Shetland, but by the end of the period of investigation this type of pathology had extended down the West coast of Scotland and into Ireland. Limited viral strain analysis suggested that similar strains were involved in both fresh water and sea water and that these differed from earlier isolates from rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum). In fresh water, recovered fish frequently developed a greatly distended intestine associated with accumulation of undigested food. In sea water, after the initial, often significant (50% or more), losses, there were many fish which failed to grow and became chronically emaciated and prone to sea louse infection. Although use of transfer diets containing immune enhancers and the selection of IPN resistant broodstock has reduced losses the disease remains a serious cause of economic loss.
